TALENTED: Burnside gymnasts Luke, Sian and Cole Stevens are set to compete at the national championships in Tauranga
tomorrow.
Siblings a triple threat at nationals
• By Jacob Page
THREE BURNSIDE siblings
are putting the final touches
on their artistic gymnastics
routines ahead of the national
champs tomorrow.
Christchurch School of
Gymnastics members Luke,
16, and twins Cole and Sian
Stevens, 14, will compete against
the country’s best at the New
Zealand championships in
Tauranga which start tomorrow.
The siblings have been
competing in gymnastics for
almost nine years.
The trio said their QE II Park
training base was like a
second home.
“We probably spend as much
time there as we do at home,”
Luke said.
“This is where our friends are
and it’s where we have always
had fun,” Cole said.
Luke and Cole train for 19
hours a week and Sian trains up
to 30 hours a week.
Due to Sian’s heavy training
commitments, she attends
Prosilio for 3.5 hours a day,
which is part of the Ao Tawhiti
School. It allows her to
study around her training
schedule.
Luke and Cole attend
Burnside High School.

clash over
breach of
confidence
• By Ashleigh Monk
PAPANUI-INNES Community
Board members have clashed
over a breach of confidence.
Member John Stringer told
Nor’West News that he called
a private meeting last week
to address the board over his
concerns about the Main North
Rd bus priority proposal.
He said the contents of the
meeting were confidential.
However, community board
chairwoman Ali Jones revealed to
Nor’West News what the meeting
was about.
Ms Jones said because Mr
Stringer was new to local politics,
he may struggle to understand
how the process works, which left
Mr Stringer “disappointed”.
The community board has
recommended the installation
of bus lanes along parts of Main
North Rd from Harewood
Rd to Grassmere St, with an
amendment to exclude a stretch
from Harewood Rd to Winston
Ave.
The proposal, which will be
presented to the city council later
this month, would remove some
on-street parking along Main
North Rd, and make northward
bus times faster.

THERE’S NOTHING too unusual for
siblings to turn up in the same sports team.
But there’s a special touch about the
Stevens’ who compete in the national
gymnastics championships starting in
Tauranga tomorrow (see page 1).
And there’s a set of twins amongst them too.
Reporter Jacob Page caught up with them late last week and
by all counts they’re great kids.
They’ve been competing for nine years.
The key to their success is how much time they train each
week.
They also coach young gymnasts, so no doubt we’ll be hearing
a lot more of the Stevens’ as the years roll by.
And more today (page 3) on the dust-up in the Anglican
church over same sex marriages.

Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Ashleigh Monk
ANGLICAN Reverend Andy
Carley of St Paul’s in Papanui
has revealed he will help
establish a breakaway diocese
in the wake of the same-sex
marriage blessings saga.
He said nine clergy from seven
parishes in Canterbury had
resigned and would start to form
the diocese, separate from the
synod of the Anglican Church
of Aotearoa, New Zealand and
Polynesia.
The parishes are St John’s
Latimer Square, St Stephen’s in
Shirley, St John’s in Woolston,
St Saviour’s and St Nicholas in
Barrington, St Christopher’s
in Avonhead and St Mark’s in
Rakaia.
“We will establish a new extraprovincial
Anglican diocese,
one recognised by the majority
of the world’s Anglicans, but is
separate from the current New
Zealand Anglican diocese,” he
said.
The Anglican Diocese
of Christchurch and the
synod of the Anglican Church
of Aotearoa, New Zealand and
Polynesia declined to comment.
St John’s Latimer Square, St
Stephen’s, St John’s, St Saviour’s
and St Nicholas, St Christopher’s
and St Mark’s were contacted for
Breakaway diocese under way
In Brief
ISSUE: Reverend Andy Carley is planning on joining with
other clergy from across the country to form a new Anglican
diocese.
comment but did not respond.
St Paul’s parishioner John
Stringer said that while he
would not join the new
diocese, he supported those who
would.
“I support my friend and vicar
Andy and the hundreds, if not
thousands, of vicars and Anglicans
leaving the denomination,”
he said.
He compared the issue to having
a New Zealand passport, and
therefore abiding by the “laws of
the land.”
“That does not mean we agree
with all the laws of the land, like
same-gender marriage, or the
drinking age, or abortion,” he
said.
“If the [general synod] pushes
us too far theologically against
conscience, we may be forced
later to ‘leave NZ’ and ‘rescind
our passports’.”
The St Paul’s congregation
voted in September on whether
to follow Rev Carley in leaving
the church, with 70 per cent voting
to stay even if they did not
agree with same-sex marriage
blessings.
“I understand that leaving a
church that you have been a part
of for many decades is a terribly
hard thing to do, especially
when you’re elderly,” Rev Carley
said.
The Anglican synod voted
to allow same-sex marriage
blessings in May, which Rev
Carley said was “a step in the
wrong direction.”
WITNESS SOUGHT
Police are appealing for a witness
to come forward following an
attempted abduction in Ilam last
week. At around 5.50am on Friday
September 21, a man tried to abduct
a woman jogger at the entrance to
Ray Blank Park on Maidstone Rd.
The woman fought off the man, and
a member of the public driving past
stopped to help her. The person who
stopped to help then followed the
man to a street nearby. Police went
to the address and located the man.
A 27-year-old was arrested, and has
been charged with abduction and
assault with intent to injure. He has
been remanded in custody and will
appear in court on October 4. Police
are still keen to speak with the
person who stopped to assist in this
incident. Anyone can get in touch
by phoning Christchurch Police on
363 7400.
OUTDOOR GYM
Burnside residents will be able
to work out in the sun as the
installation of outdoor gym
equipment is completed. The
gym has been set up at Burnside
Park, and was opened on Sunday.
The equipment included a sit-up
bench, push-up bars, a vertical
ladder, stairs, a cross-trainer and
a chin-up bar. The gym is free to

Shirley trust makes the most of new
The Shirley Community
Trust has been operating
for almost 20 years and
has recently welcomed
a new building at the
MacFarlane Park Centre.
Ashleigh Monk visited
the centre to see what
the trust was all about
EVERY DAY Ian Dunbar sits at
the entrance of the MacFarlane
Park Centre and greets people as
they walk through the door.
Everyone is welcome here at
the Shirley Community Trust,
the community worker says.
They can take part in the centre’s
many activities or have a chat
and a cup of tea.
“People put Shirley down at
times, but there’s some really
good people in Shirley. People
with good hearts. It’s like any
other suburb, there’s good parts
and not so good parts,” says Mr
Dunbar, who works part-time at
the centre.
The centre is a bit cramped in
the main building; one round
table is crammed into the end of
the room, surrounded by chairs.
But at the end of August,
volunteers and staff at the centre
welcomed a new building, which
provides space for more people

to gather. “We couldn’t do a lot of
things because we didn’t have the
space before, but now with two
buildings, it’s better because we
have the room for more groups,”
Mr Dunbar said.

And the space was definitely
needed – hundreds of people
regularly use the facility, and
over the course of the year, about
15,000 volunteers come and go,
keeping the place running.
“It takes a lot of work to keep
this place going. Even one day a
week, it takes about 60 volunteers
to do that. You have people

others.” Mr Dunbar has been
working at the centre for about
nine years – but it was established
long before that.
The centre was brought to
life in 1999 by a group from
Shirley.
The first centre was in St
Stephens Church, but as the need
for space grew, it moved in 2002
to the former Plunket rooms on
Acheson Ave.
“It was seen as a bit of a dodgy
area, so Plunket went elsewhere
and the Shirley Community
Trust set up here,” he said.
The centre plays host to about
25 different events and activities,
including a fruit and vege co-op,
a foot care clinic, barista training
and a monthly community lunch.
One of the groups, Knitter
Knatter, has been coming to the
centre for 11 years.
Group member Mary Duff
said the knitters started off
making garments for orphanages
in Romania, Russia and South
Africa.
“We’ve sent 1000 garments out
this year,” she said.
“When the earthquakes
happened, we decided we’d do
it for Christchurch. We knit
things for the children’s wards at
the hospital, and we do lots for
the homeless as well.”

Children are our present
Neighbourhood
Trust manager
Ginny Larsen
talks about
what children
in Mairehau
would like to
see in their
community
– from whanau hang-out
spaces to colourful murals
OFTEN YOU hear the phrase,
‘children are our future’.
I’d like to challenge that statement
by saying, ‘children are our
present’ and yet they are rarely
asked for their opinions, hopes
and dreams.
Through my work with Neighbourhood
Trust and Te Ora Hou
in the Children’s Voices project,
I’ve found that children have
important things to tell us.
They told us they wanted
colour and vibrancy in their environment;
they wanted people to
be kind to each other; they wanted
people to take responsibility
for things like their dogs and
rubbish; they wanted more family
friendly areas where whanau can
hang out together.
These are simple things, and yet
imagine a world where this vision
became a reality. Wouldn’t we all
love that?
I firmly believe that if we put
children at the centre of our
planning, our city will be a place
KIDS CHOICE: The mural at the entrance of Mairehau Primary
School. Pupils chose to have the school’s motto – Respect,
Believe, Aspire, Achieve – on the mural.
in which people will want to
live – that what is good for our
children, is good for adults too.
An example of this is the colourful
mural painted on a shop
wall at the entrance to Mairehau
Primary School.
It was an idea the children had,
and our community endorsed,
that is now a positive space for
everyone.
It was the children who asked
for their school motto – Respect,
Believe, Aspire, Achieve – to be
part of the mural. What great
words to have emblazoned on the
wall of a hang-out space.
When we take the time to ask
children what they think, we are
often amazed at how astute they
are.
I remember asking children
from our after-school programme
to help choose some
play/exercise style equipment.
Some that we thought looked
cool, they were able to say, ‘yeah,
but they get slippery and no-one
uses them much after a while’.
They preferred some of the
wooden equipment as it could
be used in a number of different
ways imaginatively.
How many mistakes could be
averted by simply asking the end
user?
So next time your organisation
is project planning, how about
including children on the team?
You’ll be glad you did.

Capsule document opened
• By Ashleigh Monk
Tuesday October 2 2018
A MESSAGE in a bottle found in
the St Albans time capsule has been
opened.
The time capsule was opened last
week after being tucked away for
nearly 100 years.
It 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.
The letter detailed the history of
the library, and noted the presidents
of the St Albans Mutual Improvement
Association, which managed
the library, dating from 1867 to
1920.
Copies of The Lyttelton Times
and The Press from the 1920s were
among the artefacts found in the
capsule along with the letter.
The capsule was opened by the
Papanui-Innes Community Board,
pupils from St Albans
Primary and St Albans Catholic
School, and community representatives
from the St Albans History
group, St Albans Residents’ Association
and St Albans Business
Association.
Papanui-Innes Community Board
chairwoman Ali Jones said the
board would take suggestions for
things to be put in a new capsule.

Plan to stop flooding

chairwoman Ali Jones said
city council staff would decide

“From what we understand,
the plantings will mitigate
flooding and make sure
that any boggy areas are
dealt with,” she said.
She said walkways
would also be looked
into as a way of
beautifying the reserve.
“It’s a similar case to

and enjoy the reserve without
getting their feet wet.”
ADVERTORIAL
The Art of the Arborist
So often we turn up to a property
and the trees have been attacked by
someone, with little to no knowledge
of the needs of the tree. Unfortunately,
this can severely decrease the life
expectancy of the trees.
Tree pruning is both an art and a
science. An arborist’s job is to assess
trees on their individual merit and
determine what approach is needed for
each tree.
The art of pruning means an arborist
can improve a tree’s aesthetics and
structural integrity, whilst making the
tree safe and manageable. When on a
job, there are occasions where we do
advocate that a tree needs removing,
either because it has been pruned
poorly in the past, or the tree would
need severe pruning to reach the
owners desired outcome.
The science behind tree pruning
draws on knowledge, experience and
expertise to ensure that tree health
remains a top priority.
Every tree needs to be pruned
differently, for example, you can’t prune
a Maple the same as you would an Oak.
Sometimes there are options available
rather than simply topping a tree.
An arborist may suggest elevating the
lower canopy to let light in underneath,
removing deadwood and thinning
(increases airflow around tree and
increasing light to still keep shape
and health of tree), or possibly end
weighting (removing weight) from
selected limbs.
Our favourite clients are the ones that ask
us if it were my garden, what would I do
to the trees. This gives us the freedom to
immerse ourselves in the garden and get
the best result for the client.
Often, we like to do the primary
work (obvious work) first, and then
the secondary work becomes more
apparent.
Consulting an arborist or tree surgeon
and investing in your trees can add
value to a property, not to mention
enjoyment to the owner. Alternatively,
trees that are poorly looked after could
have the potential to become a liability
for the owner.

Disaster locator earns Rangi student award
A BUDDING entrepreneur has
been recognised at the national
GirlBoss awards.
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School
student Tulsi Lathia, 17, took out
the coveted innovation award at a
ceremony in Auckland last week.
Tulsi is one of six young
women who received a GirlBoss
award after more than 400 nominations
flooded in from around
the country.
Each winner received $1000
with the supreme winner receiving
$2000.
Tulsi collaboratively invented
a device that helps locate people
after a natural disaster, and a second
device that is a fire detection,
evacuation and control system.
“Winning this award means
so much to me. I want to use
the award as a magnet to pull in
young women like me who may
have felt isolated with their passions.
I want to empower them
to step up, take charge and make
things happen,” she said.
Tulsi said young women are
not always made aware of the opportunities
open to them.
“At Rangi Ruru I feel able
to extend myself and be supported
to follow my dreams, but
sometimes some of us can be
unaware of our potential and underestimate
the power we have. I
believe this award will enable me
to help change this and positively
influence young women. I hope
that I can inspire, motivate and
empower future change-makers.”
As part of her application to
GirlBoss, Tulsi’s submission
outlined projects she has been
involved in.
“I wrote about the Paradigm
Challenge, which was something
I worked on with a team of four
– two of us here in New Zealand
and two in India. I wanted to

on how much passion and drive

“Self-motivation was crucial,

enthusiasm for science,
technology and innovation for
good helped us grow as people
who were more open to share

St Bede’s students run
for cancer cause
• By Ashleigh Monk
LAST WEEK about 160 St Bede’s
College students put on their
trainers and ran in aid of teen
cancer.
This was the school’s eighth
Run For A Life event, in which
students run across the South
Island to raise money for
CanTeen.
Event organiser Rachel
Pitcaithly said the run aimed to
not only raise money for young
cancer victims, but also raise
awareness.
“There’s so many of us that
have been affected by cancer
in different ways, shapes and
forms,” she said.
“CanTeen have become real
family members to us. What
is great is that they look after
teenagers with cancer, but they
also look after teenagers who
might have a sibling or parent
they’ve lost to cancer – and
unfortunately that’s a few of our
boys.”
Run For A Life involved
groups of students running
about 5km at a time in
relay-style, with each student
covering about 25km a day for
five days.
“The idea was to do something

really hard to give us a look
into what it must be like having
cancer as part of your everyday
life.”
The school had raised more
than $80,000 by the time the run
kicked off on Wednesday.
“The support has been
amazing. There are a lot of
families around the South Island
who have committed to giving us
meals and accommodation . . . it’s
very humbling just how close this
is to people’s hearts.”

“We hope we can keep working

“An old cobber of mine was

be interested in doing something
for them,” he said.
“A hundred and thirty hats,
and they were happy as Larry.”
The club undertakes fundraising

selling ‘entertainment books’,

A SPECIALLY programmed

House School pupils to success.
Year 6 pupils Charlotte
Leatherland, Honor Forbes,
Lily Henderson-Walshe, Masha
Pospolitak and Mel Leatherland
finished second in the junior

The robot, which the girls programmed

Year 8 pupils Reed McHugh,
Jessika Sanders, Kate Brown and
Lucy Eyre-Walker won the senior
rescue section of the regional
Robocup competition.
The senior rescue required the
pupils to programme a robot to

The year 8 group battled it
out in the national competition
against 17 other teams and,
while they did not place, teacher
Simon Christie said they did an
“amazing” job.
ROSETTA BROWN has
developed a passion for the
environment – and that passion
has earned her a place as one of
three finalists in the Keep New

The Rangi Ruru Girls’ School
student is a finalist in the young
legends category of the annual
awards, which is for young Kiwis
who have been recognised for
their contribution towards creating
a sustainable future for New
Zealand.
Rosetta, 16, is an integral member
of the Rangi Ruru sustainability
executive, a leader of the
school’s environment club and
an editor of Bloom, a well-being
journal, that highlights sustainable,
healthy habits to help follow
students feel good and function
well.
She has also played a part in
establishing source separation
of waste at Rangi and the coordination
of the school’s reuse
depot over the past two years.
These initiatives have allowed
Rangi to significantly reduce
waste to landfill – by 58 per
cent within the school community
and 62 per cent within the
school’s boarding community
– and helped the school become
carbon neutral in 2017.
“It is important to me that we
don’t just talk about sustainable
behaviours, but that we get stuck
in and make a difference through
actions and a collective approach.
We all need to consider our role
as consumers and think carefully
about the life-cycle and impact
of products we buy. In doing this
we can be proactive in disrupting
the traditional take-make-waste
model,” Rosetta said.

McKendry says there
were many reasons why
men and women chose not
to referee, such as work
and family commitments
or feeling like they didn’t
know enough about the
game.
Koini Buli, one of the
four female referees in
Canterbury, said being
a referee was tough. She
still gets nervous before a
match, especially “if it’s going
to be a hell of a game.”
She says many people
didn’t understand that a
referee was actually an
athlete. Buli trains two to
three times a week with
a mixture of cardio and
won two gold, two silver
and four bronze medals.
His mum Traci said after
he won the medals, it gave
him a boost of confidence
which lasted a long time.
She said Ben would
need more transplants
throughout his life and
she was motivated to raise
awareness of the life-saving
impact organ donations
can have.
“At the last Transplant
Games there was a countup
of all the athletes and it
was determined that organ
donation had given them a
combined 2000 years of life
which is quite amazing,”
she said.

“It’s a full-time job.
You’ve got to train right,
eat right, and prepare
yourself mentally and
strategically.”
Buli has been hassled
by players and spectators
as a referee but said this
was part and parcel of
the game, regardless of
whether the referee was
male or female.
“They don’t expect you
to know anything. A lot of
the time it comes down to
their age rather than their
gender,” said Buli.
As a referee, Buli has
travelled the world,
including to Russia for the
women’s sevens World Cup
in 2013.
She would love to
referee test rugby one
day and aspires to take the
field alongside the Black
Ferns with her whistle
in hand. “If you can’t get
into the provincial rugby
teams, you can make it as a
referee. It’s not any less of a
position to be in.”
With the likes of former

nutrients that are essential
for eye health. Some
of the most essential
nutrients that have been
shown to protect and even
improve eye function are:
Selenium, is a trace mineral
that is low in N.Z. soils and therefore in
many of our foods. Researchers believe
selenium may help prevent cataracts,
macular degeneration (the leading cause
of impaired vision in older people) and
may also improve dry eyes and general
eye health.
Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage
of the population are low in. Zinc has
been shown to help protect the eyes
from the damaging effects of light as
well as slow vision loss due to macular
degeneration.
Vitamin C, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Betacarotene
(Pro-vitamin A) and Copper
have potent antioxidant ability and help

Lutein and Zeaxanthin are amazing
nutrients that have been shown in
landmark research to not only provide
potent eye protection but may even help

BOOST BRAIN
PERFORMANCE UP TO 30%
TEBONIN is the No 1 Ginkgo Biloba extract in the World with more than 8 million tablets
being consumed every day. It is also the most researched herbal extract with more than 60
controlled clinical studies & over 400 scientific studies. It has been shown to have excellent
efficacy, safety & tolerability. Millions of consumers have trusted TEBONIN for over 30
years to support blood flow, capillary health, brain health & performance.
Studies on TEBONIN Show:
- Improved Brain Performance & Function up to 30%. This includes improvement
in mental sharpness, focus, attention, concentration, understanding, memory & recall.
- Reduces errors made & mental stress.
- The only Ginkgo shown to increase activity in all areas of the brain. Can help restore
brain function after a brain injury such as from a stroke.
- Helps relieve tinnitus (ringing & noise in the ears), vertigo, dizziness & supports normal
balance.
- Improves blood flow to all areas of the body.
- Reduces plaque formation in the blood vessels.
- Protective effect against eyes damage caused by light.
For decades scientists believed brain
damage with age, after a stroke or injury
was irreversible and brain neurons could
not be repaired. In more recent times,
new research has shown that neurons
can grow back with the right conditions
and that a special extract of Gingko
Biloba (EGb-761 or TEBONIN) has
been clinically found to assist in this.
The implications for stroke recovery are
obvious, but researchers also know many
of us suffer from undetected “microstrokes”
that over a period of time slowly
reduce our cognitive function. TEBONIN
is prescribed worldwide as a natural
supportive agent for a healthy brain and
cognitive function. It supports healthy
mental performance, concentration, focus,
alertness, motor function and to help
with many conditions including tinnitus
(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo
and normal balance. TEBONIN improves
micro-circulation and helps the blood
flow reach those critical places it needs to
get. It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes
the red blood cells more pliable and
capillary walls more flexible.
TEBONIN is one of the most widely
studied and researched herbal products in
the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba
extract manufactured via a patented
multi-step extraction process. Each small

debut in Adelaide
• By Jacob Page
BURNSIDE HIGH School
track cyclist Erin Downie
gets by with a little help
from her friends and
family.
The 16-year-old,
who lives in Avonhead,
has been named in the
New Zealand track cycling
team for the first time.
She will compete at the
Oceania track cycling
championships in Adelaide
from October 11-13.
Erin competes in both
road and track cycling
events, and started her
competitive journey on
a $300 road bike that
her mum Lee purchased
second-hand.
As she grew to love
track cycling, her dad
Chris found a bike frame
and built the bike she still
uses today with bits and
pieces he found on auction
sites.
“I wouldn’t be in this
position without my
parents,” she said.
“A lot of my time is
taken up with training so a
lot of the financial burden
falls on them.”
Erin is a former
Canterbury age-group
Erin Downie
middle distance runner,
cross-country athlete and
footballer, but now her
time is spent solely on the
bike seat.
“I tried to do all of them
when I first started as an
11-year-old but, as my
love of cycling grew, I gave
them up,” she said.
“People used to look at
my bike and do a doubletake
because it’s not a big
brand bike obviously. The
whole Canterbury track
cycling community has
been so helpful in getting
me here.
“I’ve had to borrow a
lot of different gear and
everyone has been really
accommodating.”
Erin said with Hornby’s
Denton Park velodrome
being outdoors and “quite
shaded”, it often meant she
was unable to train on it
during winter because it
was too wet.
With the best track
options being in
Invercargill or Cambridge,
she has done a lot of her
preparation on the road,
or in her garage on a
stationary bike.
“I think I’ve done quite
well to make the team
considering the best
option to train is eight
hours away,” she said.
Erin doesn’t know what
events she will compete
in, but is hopeful she will
get a chance to race in
the under-19 individual
pursuit.
“That will be a good
level for me to test where
I’m at and, if I could get
a personal best, that’d be
great.”
Erin said she still
had ambitions to ride
internationally on both
the track and road and did
not want to commit to one
discipline just yet.

continuing EducAtion
FREE digital media course,
with NCEA built in
For those looking for a role that combines
artistic and digital talents, then this
outstanding, FREE, entry level course has
just been announced by local Training
Provider Trainme, for those wishing
to pursue animation, graphic design,
photography or digital media as a career.
The course covers introduction to
multi-media techniques such as video
production, drawing, animation and
photography. Students will create their own
design concepts and collaborate with other
students on creative projects.
This course is FREE to students aged 16
to 19 and they only have to have NCEA 1
to join. Students without NCEA 1 can be
admitted, if they show artistic or digital
aptitude.
“Many feel that school is not working for
them or they left without qualifications,”
says Rhys Pollard, Marketer with tertiary
educator Trainme. “While not
necessarily academically minded,
they do have artistic talents
and are very much into digital
technology.”
“This FREE six-month Trainme
course, combines these in a very
hands-on, practical way, giving
them an intro into various digital
media. This way, they can decide
which direction to pursue as their
career focus.”
“As an NZQA approved
programme, NCEA credits are
built in, so if they apply themselves,
they can graduate with a New Zealand
Certificate in Arts and Design Level 2, as
well as gaining credits towards NCEA level
1 or 2.” Says Pollard.
“NCEA results will depend on how many
credits they bring to the course to start
with, but as it’s a fun subject, it won’t feel
like school at all.”
Successful Graduates from this
programme could pathway into higher study
in media arts, which could include graphic
design, video production, photography or
one of the many emerging digital-based
careers. Places are limited, so students are
encouraged to apply as soon as they can.
Enrolments are Now Open, for
February 2019. Contact Trainme at their
Addington campus for more information
on 0800 872 466, or txt ‘digi’ to 027 557

JOHANNES Moser returns to
the NZSO to play
Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto
No. 1, following his 2016
performances of the Lalo Cello
Concerto.
e German-Canadian
cellist has performed with the
world’s leading orchestras with
conductors of the highest level.
He performs at the Air Force
Museum in Christchurch on
Wednesday 10th October, 7pm.
For conductor Peter
Oundjian’s debut with the
NZSO, he will guide the
orchestra through this rich and
varied programme featuring
Russian composers.
Prokoev’s score to Romeo
and Juliet features some of the
Johannes Moser
Peter Oundjian
most intense music written. In this
selection from the Ballet, the musical
narrative clearly depicts the unseen drama
and so stands by itself on the concert stage.
Tickets on sale now at Ticketek.
