Parishioners 

vote to 

stay with 

congregation 

at St Paul’s 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

THE MAJORITY of St Paul’s 

Anglican Church parishioners 

have voted to remain with the 

congregation, in spite of the 

church’s vicar resigning. 

Reverend Andy Carley 

announced he would step 

down from his role at the 

Papanui church in November 

due to the Anglican synod’s 

decision to allow same-sex 

marriages to be blessed in 

Anglican churches. 

Church member and 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board member John Stringer 

said 75 per cent of 

parishioners voted to remain 

at the church. 

“Only a small minority will 

go. Some may even decide to 

come back,” he said. 

“Andy is unanimously 

respected for his position, but 

it does not mean we all share 

the need to go. He of course 

is giving up his career and 

income out of conscience, so 

that is a huge act of integrity 

for him personally. So, there is 

no split in that sense amongst 

the congregation, just with the 

synod decision.” 

He said the process to find a 

new vicar to replace Rev Carley 

would take about a year.

THAT’S ONE happy group of St Andrew’s 

swimmers on the front page today. 

And they have every right to be. The team 

was the most successful co-ed school at the 

national secondary school swimming championships, 

bringing home a swag of medals 

and titles. Para-swimmer George Adam won seven gold medals. 

No doubt we’ll be hearing more about these promising young 

athletes in the future. 

On another successful note, St Andrew’s and Rangi Ruru did 

exceptionally well at TheatreFest in Wellington (pages 6-7). 

Jackson Page took out the emerging director and best production 

category, while Rangi secured the best youth production and 

best overall production awards. 

On page 13, we cover Burnside High’s latest golf accolade. They 

finished third in the national secondary school championships.

‘Dangerous’ crossing concerns 


MAIREHAU RESIDENTS have 

voiced their concerns over a 

“dangerous” pedestrian crossing 

which is used daily by Mairehau 

Primary School children. 

The crossing on Innes Rd 

was brought up at a recent 


Board meeting after resident 

Fiona Norton raised the issue in 

a letter. 

The New Zealand Transport 

Authority recorded five crashes 

at the crossing dating back to 

2002 – one fatal, one serious, one 

minor and two non-injury. 

Community board member 

Pauline Cotter said the crossing 

would be investigated by staff. 

“Sometimes these things aren’t 

as dangerous as people think 

they are. So we look to see if 

there have been injuries, and if 

there haven’t been many, then 

it doesn’t rate very highly as a 

priority.” 

She said residents wanted 

traffic lights installed near the 

crossing to slow motorists down, 

but a viable solution could not 

be decided until the staff report 

came back. 

Fiona Norton lived just along 

the road from Mairehau Primary 

School, but she refused to 

let her children walk to school by 

themselves, in spite of being 

able to see the crossing from her 

gate. 

“Young children and elderly 

people use this crossing constantly,” 

she said. 

“It seems to be one or two cars 

go through without stopping, 

and if they do stop, the scary 

thing is they’ll wait until you 

get halfway and they’ll roar off 

behind you.” 

Mairehau Primary School 

principal John Bangma said the 

crossing had been an issue for 

“many years,” and he had been 

on the city council’s case to find 

a solution. 

“When I first started at 

Mairehau we unfortunately had 

an incident where an elderly lady 

crossing the road was killed,” he 

said. 

“While people legally have to 

stop when we have one side [of 

the lollipops] out, most people 

ignore it.” 

He said the best solution 

would be to install a set of traffic 

lights at the corner of Innes Rd, 

Philpotts Rd and Kensington 

Ave to slow motorists. 

“St Francis School has the

same issue with its crossing. If 

we had those traffic lights, both 

schools could cross safely,” he 

said. 

“I have just question, how bad 

does it have to get before they 

realise it’s a problem?” 

St Francis School principal 

Jo Earl said the main issue was 

with motorists not respecting 

the road rules. 

“There have been minor 

accidents, bumper to bumper, 

out there – people get frustrated 

because of the back-up of traffic 

when both road patrols are 

operating.”

NO PEDESTRIAN CROSSING 

A bid to install a pedestrian 

island on Main North Rd has 

failed. The Papanui-Innes 

Community Board requested 

city council staff look into 

installing a crossing between 

Harewood and Langdons Rds 

after safety concerns were raised 

by Age Concern Canterbury. 

The community board did 

not recommend a crossing be 

installed due to concerns that 

pedestrians would have to cross 

more than one lane of traffic to 

get to the other side of the road. 

A kerb extension was suggested 

to lessen the distance between the 

kerbs and the pedestrian island, 

but this would have interrupted 

the bus lane and required buses to 

merge with traffic.

SURGICAL CRISIS IN TWO 

WEE PUPPIES 

Meet “Alice Victoria”, a 6 month old black and white Cocker Spaniel 

and “Poppy” a 6 month old Pomeranian who recently had very long, 

detailed and difficult surgeries basically to save their wee lives. 

WHAT’S 

INSIDE: 

Helping 

Papanui- 

Innes 

Community 

Board 

chairwoman 

Ali Jones 

open 

the time 

capsule 

are Molly 

Vaile (left), 

Annabel 

Allen, Rory 

Forsythe 

and Max 

McNulty. 

Let’s start with 

the adorable, lets 

run at a hundred 

miles an hour, 

Alice Victoria - 

obviously named 

after royalty (her 

mum is British!). 

Whilst out 

coffeeing and 

chatting with her 

mum, Jean 

pointed out a 

very small 2mm 

x 2mm small 

white spot 

inside her left 

nostril. It wasn’t 

bothering her 

and didn’t seem 

painful to poke. 

She’s a very 

adventurous 

little girl so initially I thought trauma from 

diving in and out of bushes. A short course 

of antibiotics was prescribed in case of 

localised infection. 

Two months later it was still present, so I 

decided to biopsy the spot. It hadn’t grown 

and wasn’t painful or infected but her 

mum wanted a diagnosis. I was shocked 

and surprised to get a diagnosis back of 

MCT (Mast Cell Tumor) which is a malignant 

tumour commonly seen in dogs and cats – 

although a MCT inside a nostril I hadn’t seen 

before and in a puppy so young! 

We urgently sought the advice of Oncology 

specialists in Australia to work out what our 

next move should be. They recommended 

radiotherapy (very expensive and difficult to 

do in pets with nasty side effects) or surgical 

removal (also difficult to ensure complete 

excision due to the location of the mass). 

Chemotherapy was the 3rd option. Alice 

had extensive blood testing, radiographs of 

her lungs and a thorough Ultrasound of her 

abdomen. No abnormalities or secondary 

tumors were observed. 

So Dr Steve Heap was nominated to perform 

the delicate corrective surgery. It was an 

exhaustive, delicate 2 hour procedure to 

remove the mass and surrounding nasal 

tissue and her subsequent draining lymph 

node. Her wee nose looks slightly wonky 

now but is functional and comfortable and 

she’s alive!!! We are awaiting histology and 

grading results from America to see whether 

Chemotherapy will be needed as well. 

We also performed a CT on Alice’s brain at St 

Georges to make sure no tumour metastases 

were detected as Alice started acting quite 

bizarrely suddenly. Thankfully all was clear. 

Tiny 2.5kg “Poppy” was referred to Catherine 

Morganti one Friday for an endoscopic 

examination as something was stuck in her 

oesophagus and she couldn’t eat and was 

trying to be sick. Usually these exams are 

fairly quick and successful in retrieving the 

culprit but not so in Poppy’s case. 

Unfortunately after over 2 hours of 

Catherine and Kirsty working the endoscope 

down Poppy’s throat (with Poppy under 

anaesthetic) and trying hard to dislodge 

the stuck object, it was decided to perform 

exploratory surgery, opening up her 

stomach, trying to reach the object from 

the inside. Steve scrubbed in as well and 

eventually with a 

team of 3 vets and 

2 nurses on the 

job, the object was 

finally removed 

(which was the 

rubber off a 

pencil and a large 

doggie treat) – a 4 

hour anaesthetic 

in total on a 

Friday night 

(Lucky we 

love surgery 

and helping 

pets as we 

get many 

Friday night 

emergency 

operations to 

perform). 

Poppy needed to spend a few nights at the 

After Hours Clinic in critical care and a few 

days with us on intravenous fluids to get her 

stable, eating again and back to her cheeky, 

gorgeous little self. 

A successful great outcome for both Alice 

Victoria and Poppy. Let’s hope the rest of 

their lives going forward are not as dramatic 

as the first 6 months have been! 

Steve and I can’t thank our fabulous, 

dedicated and expert team of Vets and 

Nurses enough, who willingly stay behind 

late to perform in many cases miracle 

surgeries. We are so PROUD of our people 

and the work they do on our patients.

Time capsule opened 


ITEMS FROM the past 

were rediscovered as the St 

Albans time capsule was 

opened. 

Copies of The Lyttelton 

Times and The Press from 

the 1920s, and a message in 

a beer bottle were among 

the artefacts found in the 

capsule. 

The message in the 

bottle could not be 

extracted, but Papanui- 

Innes Community Board 

chairwoman Ali Jones said 

council staff were working 

on getting it out. 

The time capsule was 

buried in 1920 when the St 

Albans Public Library was 

constructed. 

The library was renamed 

the St Albans Community 

Resource Centre in 1997, 

and was demolished in 

2011 as a result of earthquake 

damage. 

A number of items, 

including the time capsule 

and the foundation stone, 

were salvaged from the 

demolition. 

The capsule was opened 

on Friday by the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board, 

pupils from St Albans 

Primary and St 

Albans Catholic Schools, 

and community representatives 

from the St 

Albans History group, St 

Albans Residents’ Association 

and St Albans Business 

Association. 


Board chairwoman Ali 

Jones said the board would 

take suggestions from 

locals for things to put in a 

new time capsule. 

“It has to be smaller than 

a car,” she said.

Traffic lights one step closer 


Aaron Keown 

CITY COUNCILLOR Aaron 

Keown is one step closer in his 

two-and-a-half year battle to 

get traffic lights at a contentious 

Bishopdale intersection. 

Options to upgrade the Breens, 

Harewood and Gardiners Rds 

intersection will be presented to 

council to decide which will be 

sent out for public consultation. 

Cr Keown 

said the issue 

had been of 

concern for 

“decades.” 

He said the 

Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood 

Community 

Board voted 

unanimously to present option 

2a and option 3 to council. 

Option 2a included a signalised 

pedestrian crossing and 

reducing Harewood Rd to one 

lane on each side, and option 3 

included installing traffic lights, 

with an amendment to keep 

Harewood Rd with two lanes on 

each side, rather than reducing it 

to one as was proposed. 

“The councillors will decide 

whether they’ll let the democratic 

process take place and let 

the public speak, or whether they 

bounce it back because they don’t

want to hear what the answer is.” 

He said he didn’t think option 

2a was suitable as it would cause 

more congestion at the intersection. 

“For the suggestion to even 

go in the report that we should 

just cut Harewood Rd off is just 

insanity . . . if that went through, 

there would be protests,” he said. 

“I think it’s too extreme, but 

let’s see what the public says. 

If the public come back and 

overwhelmingly say: ‘Let’s cut off 

Harewood Rd’ then I’ll support 

that, but I’ll be surprised if they 

do.” 

Option 2a was predicted to 

cost up to $400,000 to implement, 

while option 3 was estimated 

at $1.2m.

But Cr Keown said he believed 

the price for the traffic lights was 

“inflated.” 

“I think the price is very 

inflated to put the board off voting 

for it . . . forget the price tag, 

because it’s about the outcome. 

It’s not our fault if staff on the 

project have mis-managed their 

budgets.” 

He said the funds for the upgrade 

project would come from 

a combination of the board’s 

budget, a potential NZTA 

subsidy, and possibly even Long 

Term Plan funding. 

“I said at an LTP meeting that 

I wanted to put on budget for 

the traffic lights, and the mayor 

asked staff: ‘Do we have the 

money if it comes back that the

and they said: ‘Yes, but we’d 

have to take it from somewhere 

else’.” 

He said he hoped city councillors 

would vote for both options 

to go for public consultation, but 

it would be a time-consuming 

process. 

“I believe the process is the 

enemy of democracy,” he said. 

“It just seems so back-to-front. 

All it does is create a whole lot of 

bureaucracy that means that you 

get less roads, less sewerage, less 

parks and less libraries for your 

money, because there’s just so 

much process around it.” 

Cr Keown said the options 

would be presented to council by 

the end of October.

vote to stay

•From page 1 

“Each Anglican congregation 

is autonomous, so we ‘call’ for 

candidates and then vote for a 

vicar,” he said. 

Mr Stringer was an unordained 

ex-pastor and said he 

would step up and assist as a 

parishioner. 

Retired vicar Reverend Graham 

Button had also been active in the 

church and could help out until a 

new vicar was found. 

Mr Stringer said as most parishioners 

disagreed with same-sex 

marriage blessings, finding a vicar 

who would not “impose” their 

views on the rest of the church 

was important. 

“The day before he was announced 

as Bishop-elect, Reverend 

Peter Carrell assured St 

Paul’s in person that the central 

leadership will not impose a vicar 

on us who was at variance with 

our stance or theology. In other 

words, we are to have a new vicar 

of our persuasion which is a synod 

recognition of parish culture. 

That has been very reassuring and 

was a factor that persuaded many 

to stay.” 

Rev Carley and the Anglican 

Diocese of Christchurch were 

contacted for comment but did 

not respond.

Planting 

day at 

Grampian 

Reserve 

NATURE enthusiasts gathered 

at Grampian Reserve last 

weekend to take part in a 

planting day. 

About 25 members of the 

Christchurch branch of 350.org 

planted around 500 trees and 

shrubs in the reserve. 

The international organisation 

350.org has 94 groups all over 

the world making an effort to 

fight climate change by raising 

environmental awareness. 

The planting day at Grampian 

Reserve followed a tree rally in 

the central city organised by 

350.org to raise awareness of the 

role trees play in carbon capture. 

Plants included a mix of both 

native and exotics and were part 

of the city council’s green asset 

renewal programme for urban 

parks. The day was held to not 

only emphasise how vital it is to 

plant trees for carbon absorption 

but also enable people to plant 

trees themselves. The event 

concentrated on native trees as 

they were more likely to survive 

warming temperatures than 

non-natives. 

OPTION ONE 

Young director and all girls 


A PLAY that started out as a 

drama class assignment has 

been transformed into an awardwinning 

production by a St 

Andrew’s College student. 

Jackson Page won the regional 

TheatreFest competition, then 

went on to earn the emerging 

director and best production of a 

New Zealand play awards at the 

national competition for Green 

Grass. 

“It was amazing, we didn’t really 

expect it,” he said. 

The 18-year-old wrote and directed 

the play, and at the finals 

in Wellington last week he also 

starred in it. 

“Unfortunately, one of the actors 

I had in the regionals is part 

of the show Les Miserables, and 

he had shows on the weekend we 

were in Wellington, so I actually 

stepped into that role. Now I’ve 

written, directed and starred in 

the play.” 

Jackson said the concept for 

Green Grass came from a drama 

class assignment. 

“We came up with the concept 

as a group, then I just ended up 

writing all of it on my own,” he 

said. 

His teachers suggested he enter 

it in the regional TheatreFest 

competition, in which it was 

judged the best overall play. 

The plot of Green Grass follows 

two people – one with a steady 

job and the other who was “lazy” 

and unemployed. 

A narrator tells the story as the 

two main characters switch lives, 

ultimately missing their former 

lifestyles. “It turns out they’re 

stuck in another loop, and it’s 

not really much better than what 

they had before, and now there’s 

nothing they can do about it,” he 

said. 

“It’s not really the happiest of 

endings, which is what I like.”

crew win at TheatreFest 


DOUBLE STANDARDS when 

it comes to what boys can do and 

what girls can do, is highlighted 

in a play which led Rangi Ruru 

Girls’ School to victory at the 

national TheatreFest. 

THe students performed Evan 

Placey’s Girls Like That, which 

pointed out the way in which 

girls and boys are perceived 

when it came to sexuality, 

and earned the best youth 

production and best overall 

production awards at the event 

in Wellington. 

Director of theatre arts Peter 

Rutherford said the play focused 

on a character named Scarlett, 

who shared a nude photograph 

with a boy which was then 

shared around publicly. 

The story followed Scarlett as 

she dealt with the fallout of the 

photograph, ultimately ending 

with her implied suicide. 

But this was not the original 

plot, which ended with Scarlett 

discovering stories about her 

strong female ancestors and 

overcoming the scrutiny she 

faced. 

“It was originally a 90min play 

and I cut it down to about 25min 

to make it more reasonable,” he 

said. 

“I tried to get an essence of 

the play without destroying it. 

It was tricky, the moment you 

start cutting things out you risk 

diluting it, or losing some sense 

from it.” 

He said the point of the play 

was to show the power that girls 

had over other girls, and that 

women should support each 

other. 

“At the end, Scarlett says: 

‘You know, it’s funny, boys 

have always been a*******s but 

it seems to me these days that 

girls have become the a*******s 

that boys used to be.’ It’s kind of 

about women gate-keeping the 

behaviour of other women.” 

He said he and the students 

were stoked at being awarded 

best youth production and best 

overall production. 

“I thought it was a really

great process, the people were 

wonderful, and it was just a 

really fabulous, supportive 

occasion for people who love the 

craft of theatre,” he said. 

“We were blown away. There 

were some really incredible 

productions from other teams 

. . . we were up against some 

brilliant teams, I wasn’t 

expecting to win, so it was a 

pleasant shock.”

SCHOOLS 

Pupils put 

on PJs for 

good cause 

LAST WEEK pupils at 

Harewood School rocked up to 

class in their pyjamas. 

But they didn’t forget to get 

dressed that morning – the 

school took part in a pyjama 

day to raise money for Ronald 

McDonald House. 

School office manager Angela 

Dini said the children jumped 

at the chance to wear pyjamas 

to school. 

“It wasn’t that they were 

running late but they were participating 

in this term’s mufti 

day. Our student council chose 

the recipient for the great work 

they do.” 

The pupils raised $220 for 

Ronald McDonald House. 

School leaders Stella and 

George, along with principal 

Julie Greenwood, presented a 

cheque to Ronald McDonald 

House on Friday. 

Former pupil gives back to school 

Rotary Club 

helps out 

at St Mary’s 


SIXTY YEARS ago Strowan’s 

Michael Dore walked the halls of 

St Mary’s School. 

The former pupil was 

welcomed back to the school 

last week as a member of the 

Christchurch Rotary Club, which 

is helping St Mary’s with several 

projects. 

On his return, Mr Dore 

presented a set of brand new 

sitting benches to the school. 

“With the connection to the 

school and going there, it’s great 

to be involved,” he said. 

“To be asked to do that and be 

involved in it was really good. I 

thoroughly enjoyed it, and seeing 

the children that were there.” 

He said the school had 

changed a lot since he left in 

1858, but St Mary’s Church is 

still standing next door. 

“The classrooms aren’t the 

same as what they were in my 

day. But the church is still next 

door, and I was actually at the 

laying of the foundation stone of 

the church, and I got married in 

the church. So those memories 

are still there.” 

The school has also kept an old 

registry book that had Mr Dore’s 

name recorded. 

“To see the registry book they 

TAKE A SEAT: St Mary’s School pupils Venus Powney, 6, Stefanie Fernandes, 6, Edith Veitch, 5 

and Evelyn Abley, 6, help 71-year-old Michael Dore carry one of the new benches. 

produced, hand-written by the 

nuns who were the teachers at 

the school, it was just unreal. 

And my brother’s name is just 

under mine, we both actually 

joined the school on the same 

day.” 

Principal David O’Neill said he 

was “overwhelmed” by the club’s 

generosity. 

“The club approached me and 

said they’d like to adopt our 

school and have something to do 

with us. It really is wonderful, 

what they’re giving us is about 

$6000 worth of bench seats,” he 

said. “For them to be able 

to donate those to us means 

we have extra money to buy 

things for the students in terms 

of their learning. We’re very 

grateful.” 

He said having Mr Dore 

present the benches was an 

honour. 

“It’s amazing that it was 60 

years ago he went here as a wee 

fellow . . . it’s a nice part to the 

story with a special connection 

after all these years.” 

Mr O’Neill said the school 

had struggled following the 


earthquakes, with enrolment 

falling from 120 to 60. It had to 

operate for a term in St Teresa’s 

School hall, then in tents as the 

school was repaired. 

“We’ve had a really interesting 

journey through the quakes . 

. . everything is coming right 

and you get nice people like 

those from Rotary coming and 

assisting and that’s fantastic.” 

Mr O’Neill said the club 

would work with the school on a 

number of projects, including a 

garden on the school’s grounds.

SCHOOLS Teen shaves for a cure 

CREATIVE: Northcote School pupils Iroam Rule, Savanah Taylor 

and Hannah Whitta work with fossils for science day. 

Pupils dig up the past 

PUPILS AT Northcote 

School assumed roles as 

geologists, palaeontologists and 

volcanologists at their ‘science 

day’. 

The year 1-3 pupils dug for dinosaur 

bones and crystals in the 

school sandpit, explored fossils 

and fossil patterns, learned about 

the formation of crystals, tried 

on fireproof gear and examined 

minerals and rocks under a UV 

light. 

Principal Justin Perriam said 

the pupils had a “fabulous time” 

getting stuck into science. 

“Taking on the role of scientific 

explorers provides opportunities 

for students to engage in clear 

and simple science learning 

activities from a young age,” he 

said. 

“This is exactly what our junior 

classes at Northcote School have 

been doing this term – actively 

exploring and learning about 

things that have lived in the past 

and living things today.” 

He said the day ran smoothly 

with the help of Canterbury 

University geology lecturer Kate 

Pedley, who set up and ran some 

of the hands-on activities. 

Seven-year-old Lily said she 

loved digging for crystals. 

“I loved the day because I got 

to go in our whanau groups and 

dig in the sandpit, where I found 

a crystal and everyone wanted it,” 

she said. 


“WHEN YOU’RE little, you 

hear the word cancer and you 

immediately think death.” 

This is how Deirbhile Roberts 

felt when she found out her 

mum had breast cancer five 

years ago. 

And while the 15-year-old’s 

mum won her fight with the disease, 

Deirbhile was inspired to 

do something to raise money for 

people going through their own 

battle. So she shaved her head. 

Deirbhile, who is a student at 

St Andrew’s College, took part 

in Shave for a Cure and has so 

far raised almost $4000 for Leukaemia 

& Blood Cancer New 

Zealand. 

“I kind of just wanted to help 

people in a way that I actually 

made a difference.” 

Deirbhile said she was more 

than halfway to her $7000 goal, 

and the support so far had been 

“amazing”. 

“It was a bit slow at first, but 

then my mum sent a message to 

a lot of my relatives overseas and 

then hundreds of dollars started 

coming in,” she said. 

“Everybody at school has been 

so supportive and helpful. It’s 

just been really amazing.” 

And as for having no hair, 

Deirbhile said she liked her new 

look. 

“I thought it was going to be a 

lot weirder to not have any hair, 

but it’s been alright.” 

St Andrew’s College dean 

Liz Gormack helped Deirbhile 

through the process and said she 

was “incredibly proud” of the 

teen. 

“I was a bit nervous. I wasn’t 

sure how she’d be feeling going 

through with it . . . I was almost 

going to get it done myself if she 

decided she didn’t want to do it,” 

she said. 

“It’s such a good cause. It’s one 

that a lot of us have to deal with 

in our lives. I’m just so proud 

of her, she’s been so brave and

patients. 

calm.” 

She said a detailed plan had to 

be mapped out so that Deirbhile 

had outlined goals that did not 

clash with school regulations. 

“It had to be done at the end of 

term so her hair could grow over 

the holidays. We didn’t suddenly 

want a whole spate of kids who 

were getting buzz cuts.”

ADVERTORIAL 

Enjoying the best of both worlds 

When Jean and Dick 

Yates rst moved into their 

townhouse at Ngaio Marsh 

Retirement Village 12 years ago, 

they wanted independence as 

well as security for any health 

challenges the years ahead 

might bring. 

“When we rst moved into 

a townhouse we had a lot of 

independence without having 

to worry about the safety of 

the house or the upkeep of the 

garden,’’ says Jean, sitting in 

her tidy serviced apartment 

overlooking the gardens. 

“We were trying to decide 

whether or not to move into 

a smaller townhouse in the 

neighbourhood, and then we 

stopped and thought how stupid 

we are because in a few years we 

would need to have some kind 

of care or support,” says Jean. 

“So, we decided to put our 

money down here,” says Dick. 

Jean, 95, who was a 

pharmacist, and Dick, 98, who 

was an accountant, moved into 

the village early 2006 and lived 

in their townhouse for 10 years. 

Ngaio Marsh village has 

provided the perfect solution 

to their needs over the years 

since then. 

The village, located in 

Papanui, features independent 

townhouses, serviced apartments 

and a resthome and hospital, 

all set amongst award-winning 

gardens. 

“It was close to our church, 

close to where Dick had been 

Residents Jean and Dick Yates love life at Ngaio Marsh Retirement Village 

working, and it was all familiar 

territory,” says Jean. 

“We loved it. It suited us 

extremely well.” 

Ngaio Marsh is close to both 

Merivale and Northlands 

Malls, and also boasts an 

all-weather bowling green, 

indoor heated swimming 

pool, spa, atrium, library, 

gymnasium, hair salon, bar, 

shop and croquet lawn. 

“As much as we loved our 

townhouse, the time came 

when we needed more 

support,” says Jean. 

Dick moved into the resthome 

and Jean into her serviced 

apartment in 2016. 

“We’re still free to come and 

go” says Jean. 

“It’s a big advantage really, 

we have alarms so if you have 

a fall you just press it, and they 

come running.” 

Ngaio Marsh sales advisor 

Marie Kyle-Stevenson says 

that serviced apartments can 

be tailored to each resident’s 

specic needs. 

“Serviced apartments are 

one-bedroom or studio 

apartments that come with a 

range of services, including 

meals, housekeeping services, 

morning and afternoon tea,” 

says Marie. 

“It becomes easier for people. 

With our continuum of care, 

our townhouse residents have 

priority to move into a serviced 

apartment should they need a 

little extra assistance. 

“As a couple it is convenient 

to be able to stay in the same 

village because in life you do 

not always move forward at the 

same rate with your health.” 

For Jean, the biggest advantage 

of living in a serviced apartment 

at Ngaio Marsh is that she is still 

near her husband. The resthome 

is located downstairs from her, 

just a “lift ride” away. 

“The fact that we’re in the 

same building means that we 

don’t even have to go outside, 

nothing has changed really,” 

says Jean. 

They spend time together 

every day, either in Jean’s 

serviced apartment, the resthome 

lounge or in Dick’s room. 

“I also still go to her Happy 

Hours and she goes to mine,” 

says Dick. 

“The staff are just 

marvellous. You get to know 

them very well and they are so 

friendly,” says Jean. 

But it all comes down to 

being, and feeling, at home. 

As Dick gets up to leave, Jean 

stops him. 

“Have a cup of tea rst, dear,” 

she says. 

And Dick sits down smiling.

Burnside High School 

Culinary Champions 

Congratulations to Maggie Carroll and Liza Khorozova who 

are now National Culinary Champions having won the National 

Secondary Schools Culinary Challenge 2018, held recently at 

the Manukau Institute of Technology. 

Our team competed against seven regional winning teams, 

coming away with gold medals. They had to prepare, cook and 

present, four individually plated portions of an entrée and four 

portions of the main course within 90 minutes. 

The entrée had to contain fresh New Zealand grown tomato as 

the principal component of the dish. The main course portions 

had to include at least three fresh New Zealand grown 

vegetables, one of which had to be a potato. The protein 

component was produced from a Waitoa chicken breast. 

Tomato Entree 

Tomato tart with fresh tomato and basil salad, manuka smoked 

tomato foam with goats cheese accompanied by a rich tomato 

sauce. 

Chicken Main 

Chicken breast filled with broad bean farce on truffle potato 

puree with petite crumbed sausage, seasonal vegetables 

served with jus and tarragon cream sauce.

Governor General 

visits the school 

This term, Burnside High School was lucky enough to have Her 

Excellency the Rt Hon. Dame Patsy Reddy, Governor General 

of New Zealand visit our school. This began with a welcome 

from our Kapa Haka group, Head Students and Senior 

Leadership. 

She visited a selection of classes in our very successful Visual 

Arts department followed by a senior Hospitality classroom. 

An interactive discussion took place on the ‘Into Motion’ hui 

(@intomotionnz) which was a conference based around 

gender equality held at Burnside High School last term. 

Altogether, the visit was a success and we hope it gave 

Her Excellency an interesting look into Burnside High School 

culture. 

Music Success 

Term 3 has seen an incredible series of musical 

achievements on the local and national stage. At the ARA 

JazzQuest competition Burnside High School Big Band 

won a Gold Award and the “Best Big Band” title for a fifth 

consecutive year. Our Junior Jazz Ensemble and Funk 

Band also won Gold Awards. 

RAQS (Hijiri Yamamoto, Claudia Crosland and Lixin 

Zhang) reached the National Final of the NZCT Chamber 

Music Contest and won the KBB Award, a huge 

achievement in this highly competitive field. 

Our senior choirs took part in a day of workshops and a 

concert under the guidance of renowned American Choral 

Director Jo-Michael Scheibe. Later, they competed at 

The Big Sing National Finale where both Bel Canto and 

Senior Chorale won Gold Awards with Bel Canto also 

picking up the Tour Time trophy for “Best Performance of 

a Classical Work”. Malestrom once again won the regional 

Barbershop Chorus contest and go on to compete at the 

National Finals in Tauranga. 

Our Concert Band and Orchestra are now National 

Champions, both ensembles having won their class at the 

Wellington Band and Orchestral Festival. The Concert 

Band and Junior Concert Band also won Gold Awards at 

the CWSTMA Wind Festival in Christchurch. 

The finale to our busy term will be “The Rat Pack”; a 

tribute to the songs of Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and Dean 

Martin performed by our multi award-winning Big Band 

with 20 piece string section and vocal soloists from the 

Specialist Music Programme. This concert is being held 

at The Piano, 7.00pm on Saturday 29th September and 

is sure to sell out so get your tickets quickly from the 

student office.

Mathematics success 

for Burnside High 

In May this year 1100 top Year 12 and 13 Maths students from 

throughout the country sat the preliminary paper for the 

New Zealand Senior Mathematics Competition. From this 

large group the top 15 students in the country were selected 

to take part in the final at Victoria University in Wellington 

on August 17th. Two of the top 15 were from Burnside High 

School: Robin Wan, Year 13, and Ethan Ng, Year 12. 

The final consisted of a 4 hour paper of very challenging 

mathematical questions. After the papers had been marked 

the top 3 place getters were announced. Ethan Ng was 

placed second in this very prestigious competition. This is 

an outstanding effort, especially considering that Ethan, 

at age 13, was four or five years younger than the other 

finalists. Congratulations to both Robin and Ethan.

Burnside High shows golfing 

pedigree at national champs 

• By Jacob Page 

BURNSIDE HIGH School 

continues to show why they 

are so consistent on the New 

Zealand golf scene. 

The team of Juliana Hung, 

brothers Hiroki and Hayato 

Miya, and Amy Weng finished 

third at the national secondary 

school championships at the 

Palmerston North Golf Club. 

Burnside won the tournament 

in 2016. They looked on track to 

do it again this month after the 

first round when they were tied 

for the lead with Waikato’s St 

Peter’s College. 

However, they would have to 

settle for third after McLeans 

College golfer Jimmy Zheng 

from Auckland shot a course 

record 12 under 60 to power his 

school to the title. 

Hung was the most consistent 

of the Burnside players shooting 

a combined one over par for the

brothers were part of the championship 

winning team in 2016. 

Teacher in charge of golf Tracy 

Taylor said with the Miya brothers

it helped the team to gel together 

faster. 

“We’ve had some great depth 

here over the past five years or so, 

and this year has been no exception,” 

she said. “They’re all very 

competitive but when another 

player shoots 12 under and gets a 

course record, there’s not much 

you can do.

SPORTS 

Big medal haul for 

St Andrew’s swimmers 

•From page 1 

The 18-year-old, who has an 

intellectual disability, won the 

50m and 100m butterfly, the 

50m, 100m and 200m freestyle 

and 50m and 100m backstroke. 

He also earned silver in 

the 400m freestyle. 

George (right) said he 

enjoyed the 50m freestyle 

race because it allowed 

him to go as fast as he 

could right from the 

starting block. 

He said winning so 

many medals made his 

heart beat fast with 

adrenaline. 

When St Andrew’s 

were 

presented 

with 

their 

trophies, 

George held his medals 

them aloft. 

George said he started swimming 

when he was 14-years-old 

and competes regularly for the 

North Canterbury Club. 

He said he would 

like to continue 

swimming after 

finishing school 

at the end of the 

year and dreams 

of becoming a 

top level paraswimmer 

in the 

future. 

There’s never been a more appropriate 

time to buy a hybrid or electric vehicle. 

Fuel costs are soaring, and global warming, 

much of it attributed to fossil fuel emissions, is a 

definite reality. 

So if you want to do something for 

the environment and save yourself some 

cash at the weekly fill-up, then visit Trevor 

Crowe, at CroweSport, 518 Moorhouse 

Ave, for a lifestyle change. 

The man who runs the business owns 

the business, and Trevor, or any of the 

friendly sales staff, can get you into an 

electric vehicle or hybrid of your choice. 

There are no fewer than 15 vehicles to 

choose from, a mixture of fully-electric 

plug-in Nissan Leafs to the hybrid petrol/ 

electric Prius. 

Trevor says his stock consists of topgrade 

models sourced from auction in 

Japan. He chooses only the cars with 

good battery life, and the cars on the yard 

are displayed with the battery condition 

visible. As with all cars on the yard at 

CroweSport, the electric vehicles can be 

serviced on-site by trained technicians. 

Cars on-site vary in age from 2011 to 

2017, and those with the latest generation 

30kWh batteries can be expected to 

provide a range of up to 190km. However, 

petrol/electric Prius models are there for 

those who experience range anxiety. 

Prices for the Leafs start around $13,000 

and end at around $30,000. 

“The Leaf is the perfect urban commuter 

– buyers who work in the city can travel to 

work, swing by the supermarket on the 

way home, and charge up from the home 

supply overnight,’’ Trevor says. 

“Charging costs can be measured 

in cents, trickle charging overnight is 

the kindest on the batteries although 

fast charging on a journey won’t do the 

batteries any harm.’’ 

Trevor is fully committed to the electric 

revolution, and says there is a point of 

difference in the models he chooses, 

they are hand-picked and have workshop 

backing. The first service is without cost, 

as well as the first warrant of fitness. 

While there is a heavy emphasis on 

electric vehicles, the name CroweSport 

is also synonymous with the sales of 

Subaru vehicles. There are a wide range of 

Subarus on-site, mostly pre-owned from 

Japan. 

Part of CroweSport’s success as a 

business is down to Trevor’s proud 

motorsport heritage. Major successes 

include several New Zealand saloon 

car championships, and the Asia Pacific 

touring car championship, with a fourth 

at Bathurst and third at the Wellington 

Street Race in 1988. On shingle, Trevor 

has won more than a dozen rallies, the 

Ashley Forest rally sprint, and he is the 

current Race to the Sky two-wheel-drive 

champion. Trevor still competes, and 

his race or rally cars are prepared in the 

CroweSport workshop. 

“Motorsport is at the cutting edge 

of technology. Understanding the 

complexity of tuning and setting up a 

car for racing or rallying filters down to 

day-to-day mechanics at workshop level,’’ 

Trevor says. 

Trevor is an engineer and is still hand’son 

in that side of the business. Engine 

reconditioning is his speciality, although 

he says they will take on anything from 

a lube or tune-up right through to full 

engine and gearbox overhauls. Nine 

technicians are on site, and annually the 

company takes on an apprentice, skills 

developed through old-school training. 

The CroweSport workshop team is highly 

skilled and they will service any make or 

model. 

Trevor says many of his customers are 

sport and recreational enthusiasts along 

with those who are lifestyle and familyorientated. 

And, of course, if you want a 

performance enhancement, CroweSport 

Subaru Specialists 

has built up an enviable reputation in that 

field. 

Trevor’s philosophy is to get it right first 

time, the company has high standards 

and that reflects on the quality of the jobs 

that go out the door. Although Trevor 

leads from the front, he says the company 

is like a family. Staff have input in the way 

the company runs and operates. 

“I want the customer to leave without 

being presented with any surprises. We 

treat the customer as if they are a family 

member. 

“Treat them like they are your mother,’’ 

he says. 

Carrying the Trevor Crowe name also 

means putting it right. 

‘’We don’t expect things to go wrong, 

but problems will be sorted out and the 

customer is always told what to expect as 

the process unfolds, and the cost will be 

presented to the customer well before the 

car is picked up.’’ 

For all your motoring needs or to 

change your vehicle, the CroweSport 

name means quality and reassurance. 

“It’s about knowing how to do the right 

thing by the customer,’’ Trevor says.

Cobham Intermediate School students 

have tested out the new hydroslide at 

Jellie Park Recreation and Sport Centre. 

Student Majenta Fasi said it was a lot of 

fun. “I enjoyed how everything went, how 

the lights kept repeating, it tricked my 

mind. I really liked how it was indoor so I 

didn’t get cold like the outside ones,” she 

said. Fellow student Nathan Gardner was 

also impressed. “It had awesome lights 

on the inside of the hydroslide, and the 

end was cool because the water goes 

everywhere,” he said. City council head of 

recreation, sport and events Nigel Cox said 

the replacement indoor hydroslide would 

be popular with children and fun-loving 

adults. “The slide uses changes in lighting 

to add to the excitement,” he said. Opening 

hours for the hydroslide are from 3.30pm 

until 6pm on weekdays and from 12pm until 

6pm on weekends and public holidays.

WITH MARY IN FAITH 

TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA 

MESSAGE FROM 

THE PRINCIPAL 

The Marian College Future Focus 

team, which includes Board and staff 

members, is beginning to plan for 

the new school. We are taking the 

opportunity to visit other schools, and 

in particular, to learn from the many 

other rebuilds in Canterbury. 

Our aim is to create a school, which is 

designed to match our quality teaching 

practice. Marian College’s special 

Catholic character, school spirit and 

traditions, such as Feast Day (pictured) 

will also be reflected in our new school. 

A key part of the planning will be 

engaging with our whole community 

for input into the new Marian College. 

Marian College thanks the Catholic 

Diocese of Christchurch and Bishop 

Paul Martin for their ongoing support 

and guidance. We are confident the best 

decision possible will be made for our 

school. 

In the meantime, Marian is continuing 

to flourish. I hope you enjoy reading 

about our latest happenings. 

With blessings 

Mary-Lou Davidson 

Marian College Principal 

HOUSE PANELS BLESSED 

FEAST DAY 

FESTIVITIES 

Feast Day – celebrating the 

Assumption of Mary – is the most 

anticipated religious event on the 

Marian College calendar. Feast 

Day includes Mass, which this year 

was celebrated by Bishop Paul 

Martin SM, a house group singing 

competition, talent quest and 

chanting competition. 

Congratulations to Seymour House for 

top points on Feast Day 2018. 

Marian College parents Luke Carey and 

Janine Altenburg-Carey have created 

four woven house panels, made from the 

majestic pin oak which once stood on the 

former Marian College site. 

The panels represent the four Marian 

College houses – Takahe, Deans, Seymour 

and Brodie – and were blessed by Bishop 

Paul Martin SM at Mass on Marian’s 

celebration of Feast Day this term. To 

discover the story and meaning behind the 

panels, visit the news section on the Marian 

College website.

Martin SM. 

REMARKABLE RESULTS 

The Marian College literacy programme 

– known as The Writing Group – is 

producing remarkable results and helping 

to bridge the gaps for some junior students. 

“I think a lot of the students are finding the 

one-on-one time really beneficial and we 

are seeing the results. As well as measuring 

progress, for us it’s been about bridging the 

gap for these students, so they are better 

placed to catch up and be closer to the level 

they should be at,” explains teacher Ellie 

Caradus who heads The Writing Group. 

Marian College Principal Mary-Lou 

Davidson is impressed with the writing 

group’s progress. 

BIG SMILES NO MATTER THE CONDITIONS! 

Our sports teams are living examples 

of our school values of courage, 

perseverance and commitment. Well 

done to all our teams, coaches and parent 

supporters who travelled to compete in the 

Secondary Schools Winter Tournament this 

month. Go Marian! 

There really is no 

substitute for dedicated teachers 

working closely with students. 

The progress we are seeing is a 

result of positive relationships 

between skilled Marian staff, 

and students who feel supported. 

Mary-Lou Davidson 

Marian College teacher Ellie 

Caradus heads The Writing Group. 

Marian College is part of the Catholic 

Community of Learning Kāhui Ako, where 

schools support each other to lift student 

achievement. The schools target agreed 

focus areas, such as literacy, which are 

funded and supported by the Kāhui Ako.

Celebrating our Tui 

“The Tui’s sing-songy warble is in the 

distance as I write. Often when 

I’m outside I answer back with a 

somewhat substandard whistle 

to try and make them answer. 

At the edge of the path leading 

down to the bridge is a large 

tree. Most of the year it sits in 

a rather unspectacular manner 

waiting for it’s time in the sun. 

Then, as if from nowhere, it 

bursts into flower. Great clusters 

of colour embellish it’s branches. 

And then they come. The Tui. I once 

counted twenty eight Tui from near and 

far feasting on the nectar with frenzied passion. 

The beauty of the tree and the Tui’s song was 

enchanting. 

Ever watchful on flax fronds or drunk on fresh Kowhai 

nectar, our Tui with their sheeney feathers and white 

bib are captivating; that haunting call to another bird 

travelling through the bush. As a New Zealander, it 

is the sound I most associate with 

home.” Kirsty Nixon 

Kirsty spent her early working 

career in the advertising 

industry pushing her brain to 

explore words and imagery. 

However the artistic pull was 

strong and she chose to become 

a fulltime artist in 1997. 

Although she has explored other 

subjects, she is constantly 

drawn to the New Zealand 

landscape in its various guises. 

Her imagery often brings the native 

bush to the foreground to give the feeling of stepping 

into the scene, the coastline just within reach in the 

background. 

Kirsty lives in Auckland with her husband and two 

children. 

Kirsty exhibition runs from September 29 to 24 

October at Little River Gallery.

The gospel 

music of 

Elvis Presley 

"It's a great honour to fulfil one of Elvis' 

dreams and put together a gospel show of 

his favourite songs” - Andy Stankovich 

ANDY Stankovich performs the Grammy 

Award-winning Gospel Music of Elvis 

Presley at the Isaac Theatre Royal in 

November. 

Marking the 41st Anniversary of Elvis' 

passing, the incomparable Andy 

Stankovich (whose uncanny voice has 

stunned even Presley's own gospel backing 

group, The Jordanaires) steps into Elvis' 

shoes and recreates the unforgettable 

sound of an icon with Elvis: The Gospel 

Music. 

Elvis has always been a big part of 

Andy’s life. From as early as the age of 

seven he clearly remembers singing Elvis 

classics at family gatherings. Having 

performed throughout Australia, New 

Zealand, America and the Pacific, Andy's 

ambition has always been to keep the 

music of Elvis alive and this is evident in 

the sincere performances he gives. 

Musical Director, Mark Dennison, will 

bring together an all star cast, including the 

Memphis Show Band, a handpicked 

selection of some of the country's finest

will be provided by a gospel choir 

and male quartet. 

For one night only, the music 

that defined and shaped an icon, 

will take centre stage. Timeless 

classics from ‘Amazing Grace’, ‘In 

the Ghetto’ to ‘Where Could I Go 

But To The Lord’ will fill 

Christchurch's Isaac Theatre 

Royal.

range of hair and beauty products including 

discounted GHDs you could walk away with 

a few bargains as well. Sit down and have 

your hair curled by the Vivo team for free and make sure you have your photo 

taken in front of the Vivo photo wall so you can enter to win a fabulous makeover 

package. 

Mama Lash will be at the Expo for the first time. Stop by their large Pamper 

Lounge where the team will be offering Expo visitors lash extensions and brow 

treatments onsite. If you have always wanted long, thick and full eyelashes then 

chat to the team onsite and discover the easy way to achieve fabulous looking 

eyes that will make you stand out in a crowd. You can either have your eyebrow 

extensions done at the show or simply watch a demonstration to see how this 

stunning look is achieved. 

After a successful show last year, Sparklewhite Teeth will once more be offering 

teeth whitening treatments at the show. This area was buzzing last year with 

visitors lining up to take advantage of the amazing expo only prices. Sparklewhite 

Teeth have developed a new technology for teeth whitening that works so 

effectively you can lighten your teeth by 2-10 shades in just one 60 minute 

session. Create a positive attitude for yourself and improve your appearance while 

achieving a more youthful look with your new radiant smile. 

Sparklewhite will also have the fascinating Aduro’s LED mask onsite for visitors 

to try out at the show. A re-invention of the traditional facial mask brought up-todate 

through the use of LED light technology Aduro’s patented design follows the 

contours of the face and covers the entire facial area in therapeutic light – offering 

a full facial rejuvenating experience, for range of skin imperfections including acne 

and signs of aging. 

Before you leave the Expo take your tired feet over to the Southern Reflexology 

Group Lounge and treat yourself to a relaxing reflexology treatment. 

The ancient Chinese practice of reflexology, a manual therapy focusing on the 

feet, has recently enjoyed a surge in popularity as a modern holistic therapy to 

relieve pain and stress. Reflexologists believe that different areas on your feet and 

hands correspond to other parts of your body, and massaging them stimulates 

your parasympathetic nervous system to heal itself. Reflexology can help to create 

a healthy harmonious state within the body and triggers the body’s natural powers 

of self-healing. 

Find out more from the Southern Reflexology Group onsite at the Women’s 

Lifestyle Expo.

THE ULTIMATE 

WEEKEND FOR 

WOMEN IS 

BACK! 

The Expo is a perfect place to meet for a girl’s day out but it’s also a great 

place to escape and have some well-deserved “me time” if you would 

rather browse the sites by yourself at your own pace. With so much going 

on and with Door sales only $10 there is every reason to visit and none to 

stay at home! 

Renee Murray from NZME Events says “Our aim is to have as wide of a 

range of companies involved with the Expo as possible. Women are all 

different and their individual interests are so diverse. One woman may 

be interested in gourmet food but the woman beside her may be more 

interested in organic skincare or booking a V8 Supercar drive. We have 

artisan crafters like jeweller Debra Fallowfield exhibiting alongside national 

brands like Vivo Hair and Suzuki. It’s great on the weekend to see all the 

various women visit the show, from teenagers to business women, mothers 

to grandmothers and friends simply enjoying each other’s company”. 

CleanPaleo launching new product at the Expo 

CleanPaleo is a NZ company dedicated to creating great tasting, clean, 

whole food products that let your body know that ‘You Mean Business’ when 

it comes to looking after yourself. The Expo will give visitors a chance to 

buy their brand new Better Balls product, a revolution in healthy snacking 

because they genuinely are a healthy snacking option – less than 20% sugar 

and they taste amazing! Make sure you stop by the CleanPaleo site in the 

Expo Taste Zone where you can also chat with reality TV couple and health 

gurus Art Green and Matilda Rice. 

Since appearing on The Bachelor NZ, Art and Matilda have both become 

proponents of healthier eating with Art extending his interest in healthier 

living into a business venture, part-owning Riot Foods, which consists of 

sub-brands Clean Paleo and Poppy and Olive which you can both discover 

at the Women’s Lifestyle Expo. 

The popular Craft Zone will include artisan crafters from all over New 

Zealand with gorgeous original products often not found in shops including 

kitchen herb planters, soaps & beauty products, original art, home decor, 

handmade jewellery, beeswax wraps and more. 

For a ‘tasteful’ experience like no other, head to the ‘Taste Zone’ where you 

can experience, try, and buy a range of fantastic products, so why not treat 

yourself? From wine to paleo food, meat rubs & spices and even french 

terrines, parfaits and pates you can tantalise your taste buds with a tasty 

treat from the Expo Taste Zone. 

Grab a Goodie Bag bargain!
