Fate of
teenagers
charged in
‘drown him’
case known
this week
• By Sophie Cornish
THE OUTCOME of the longrunning
“drown him” court case
will be known on Friday.
Two teenagers charged over the
alleged attack after the Rolleston
fireworks display in November
last year appeared in the Youth
Court last week.
The now 17-year-olds were defending
a charge each of causing
injury with intent to injure. They
were 15 and 16 at the time. The
case grabbed headlines after the
15-year-old victim (now 16) was
allegedly attacked on Tennyson St
after leaving the fireworks display.
He was pushed into a water race
and had his head allegedly held
under water, while others in the
group watching yelled: “Drown
him, drown him”.
Judge Stephen O’Driscoll heard
evidence over two days last week.
He reserved his decision which
will be released on Friday. The
Selwyn Times was prohibited from
covering the case last week.
The teenagers who appeared
in court were originally charged
with aggravated robbery, but had
their charges amended in August.
The victim was left with a gash
on his face that required stitches
and a night in hospital.

THAT MUST be one mean so and so who
put a slug into Kylo the cat (page 3).
And now Kylo’s family is having to pick up
the tab for most of the vet bills, which don’t
come cheap.
Already the bill is up to $2500, but luckily help has arrived in
the form of a Givealittle page. This online fundraising tool, which
has rendered things like Telethon redundant, has raised more
than $700 to help pay for some of the costs.
That is a huge relief for Kylo’s family, and no doubt Kylo too,
because it means there’s likely enough money around to repair the
damaged cat.
But it’s one very expensive slug.
Great feat on page 1 today with David Beatty’s hat-trick. Top
stuff.

Fundraiser to pay for

RECOVERING: Lachlan Sewell with the family’s cat Kylo, who
was shot with an air rifle. (Right) – Kirsty Sewell with Kylo.
MORE THAN $700 has been
raised to help with a Prebbleton
cat’s veterinary bill after he was
shot with a high-calibre air rifle.
Kylo, 2, left his house on
Conductors Rd on November 27
and didn’t return home for three
days. His owner Kirsty Sewell
said it wasn’t unusual for him to
stray away from their house but
she did become concerned as
time went on.
When Kylo returned, Mrs
Sewell picked him up and placed
him on her eight-year-old son
Lachlan’s bed.
“I didn’t realise he was hurt
until I put him down and I was
like ‘oh, no.’ He was limping and
he had a big lump in his back,”
she said.
Mrs Sewell took Kylo straight
to the vet where X-rays determined
he had been shot and had
a “major fracture” in his front
leg.
“We now know, post-surgery,
the bullet went into the front of
his shoulder, so somebody was
taking a kill shot,” she said.
Mrs Sewell said what had
happened to Kylo made her feel
“sick” and she could not understand
why someone would want
to hurt him.
Kylo had surgery last week
to remove the pellet and has a
brace around his leg.
It’s possible his leg may have
to be amputated, but Mrs Sewell
said they will have to wait to see
if it heals first.
Mrs Sewell’s friend has set-up
a Givealittle page to help with
Kylo’s vet bill, which is currently
about $2500.

police are aware of the incident
and are investigating. “It’s actually
not okay in a residential area
to shoot cats, and if you were in
a situation where you had some
legal justification, you have to

Mrs Sewell thanked Nick

Maddie back in Starship
• By Emily O’Connell
KIDNEY transplant recipient
Maddie Collins is undergoing
further testing in Starship
Children’s Health in Auckland
following a kidney scare.
Tests results last Tuesday
showed her kidney function
“wasn’t great” and she had to
be admitted to Christchurch
Hospital.
Maddie, 14, of West Melton
was on route to Nelson with
her grandmother Elaine Manson
when her mother Sarah
Manson-Collins received the
results.
The pair drove back immediately
and Maddie was admitted
to Christchurch Hospital for
two nights before being flown to
Auckland on Thursday.
Maddie, who suffers from the
kidney disease nephrotic syndrome,
underwent a successful
kidney transplant in January.
Mrs Manson-Collins said they
are unsure what is going on with
her kidney and they hope they
will be able to “get to the bottom
of it” at Starship.
“She’s great, she’s a wee bit
scared if I was honest,” she said.
Mrs Manson-Collins is unsure
of how long they will be in
Auckland for but says Maddie is
HEALTH: Maddie Collins, 14, is back at Starship Children’s
Health in Auckland after tests showed her kidney function
“wasn’t great.”
undergoing further testing and
might also need a biopsy.
Maddie’s ongoing health
issues have meant she will be
going back to Southern Health
School next year.
It comes after she has spent
the past six months or so studying
at St Margaret’s College,
having been at health school
prior to that.
Mrs Manson-Collins says
Maddie will have a “dual
enrolment,” where she remains
enrolled at St Margaret’s College
but she will be attending health
school and will have a health
school tutor.
“She’s missed so much school
and something’s going on in her
gut and it’s affecting her kidney
and her well-being and we
need to get on top of that. She’s
just not managing full days of
school,” she said.
Health school is a school for
year 1 to 13 students who are too
unwell to attend full-time education.
It offers tutoring at home,
hospital or one of its learning
centres.
Although Maddie was initially
“a bit hesitant” about going to
health school instead of St Margaret’s,
Mrs Manson-Collins
says Maddie is looking forward
to focusing on her core learning.
Maddie and her family were
told on January 16 their five-year
wait for a kidney match had
been found.
They flew from Christchurch
to Auckland early the following
day and Maddie underwent an
initial operation and then a second
operation to reposition the
kidney hours later at Starship.
Mrs Manson-Collins said
Maddie had an “amazing recovery”
in spite of the first 48 hours
not going to plan.
Maddie received a kidney
transplant from her father
Adam Collins five years ago but
her body rejected it.
With only a two per cent
chance of finding a donor match
in New Zealand, the family
did not expect to find another
kidney in the country.

Youth aid officer for Selwyn
• By Emily O’Connell
SELWYN WILL have its own
youth aid officer from next year.
The officer will work with
schools in preventing children
and young people reoffending
and will be based at the Rolleston
Police Station on Tennyson
St from March.
The decision
is part of the
nationwide
boost of 1800
police officers
over the next
three years.
Currently,
Lane Todd
the district is
covered by the
Hornby youth
aid officer.
Canterbury Metro Area Commander
Superintendent Lane
Todd said the community policing
team at Hornby is “pretty
full at the moment.”
Hornby and Selwyn police
youth aid officer Senior Constable
Bruce Ward welcomed the
announcement.
“It’s a big thing and I think
what you’ll see is a real proactive
approach because what we want
to do is prevent youth offending,”
Senior Constable Ward said.
He said the position was needed
because of the high rate of
youth and schools in the district
along with the youth offending
age set to increase.
“With the increase in [youth
offending] age to 17, their offending
will be dealt with youth
aid officers,” Senior Constable
Ward said.
“At the moment, if you’re 17,
you’re dealt with the district
court,” Senior Constable Ward
said.
That will increase the number
of cases handled by youth aid officers
by about 20 to 30 per cent,
he said.
Including 17-year-olds as
youth offenders is also “positive”
Senior Constable Ward said.
Many teenagers at that age are
enrolled in secondary schools,
he said.
“So you might have a stolen
car before that is stopped that
had three 16-year-olds and a
17-year-old, all going to the
same school,” Senior Constable
Ward said.
“The 16-year-olds will get
taken home and the 17-year-old
gets arrested. So now as soon as
you turn 18, you’re in the district
court.”
FAST FACTS:
DECISION: A

aid officer will
be based at

Police Station

St starting next

DISHWASHER FIRE
It took Leeston and Southbridge
firefighters about five minutes to
extinguish a dishwasher fire on
Market St in Leeston at 9.20am
on Thursday. Leeston chief fire
officer Lloyd Clausen said the fire
was caused by an electrical fault
and the woman who was in the
house at the time “did everything
right” by phoning 111, evacuating
the house, explaining what had
happened and having working
smoke alarms. He said other
than burns to the dishwasher and
joinery, there was “just a bit of
smoke damage” to that part of the
house.

I’ve just always wanted to be a
teacher.
Why did you always want to
be a teacher?
I guess I had inspiring teachers
when I was a child, who had an
impact on my life and I decided I
wanted to leave that impact and
have that impact on others.
How have you found your
time teaching?
I’ve absolutely loved them
and hand on heart can say that
there has been only a handful of
days in an up to 30-year career
where I’ve not ever wanted to
go to work. I’ve just loved every
moment of it.
What have you learnt through
teaching?
That learning never stops and
just the impact of learning in
every aspect of your life. You
possibly initially think that
learning is only related to your
school years but you just know
it happens if you are taught to
learn rather than knowledge that
it will have an impact on you for
the rest of your life.
What would you say has been
the most rewarding part of
your career?
There’s been many things,
I’ve worked in quite a few
different schools. I have
worked in another school in
the North Island where I was
a foundation staff member
so that was exciting. I guess
connecting with people and
quite real connections, both with
colleagues and children and
their families, that would be the
most rewarding part.
How has teaching changed in
the time you’ve been doing it?
That’s an interesting question.
I’ve had this discussion with
colleagues because people have
said that it’s just got so busy and
that we are working long, long
hours. I’ve always worked like
that. But teaching for me has
never been a job, it’s always been
a lifestyle. And while it is long
and hard, it is rewarding. I’ve not
noticed the change but maybe it
has changed for other people.
How did you come to being
a foundation principal of this
school in Lincoln?
I’ve lived in Christchurch for
20 years and have been a deputy
principal of a large school for
a good portion of that time.
So I have worked with great
leaders in the past and been
involved in leadership but in
that second tier of leadership.
The opportunity came up and it

year.
was advertised. The establishing
board’s emerging vision for the
school and my philosophy of
education were really the perfect
match. They were brave enough
to appoint a first-time principal
to the role and it was just the
right thing and the right time for
me as well.
What was the large
school you were deputy
principal of?
I have been deputy principal
of both St Albans School and
Fendalton Open Air School.
What was the first school you
taught at?
My first school was Tawhai
School in Stokes Valley in Lower
Hutt.
How was that experience?
I think I was only 20-years-old.
I was probably very fresh-faced
and naive but had ideas of the
kind of teacher I wanted to be.
Did you go into teaching as
soon as you could after high
school?
I did. I went straight from
high school to university and
what was teachers college then.
I attended concurrently Victoria
University and Wellington
teachers college.
Did you grow up in the North
Island?
I did, in Lower Hutt in
Wellington.
What made you move to
Christchurch?
I moved to Christchurch in
1998 and I was flexible and just
thought I would love to have the
opportunity to live and work in
the South Island before I settled
somewhere permanently. And
then not long after moving here,
I met my husband Steve who is a
Cantabrian.
What do you live now?
I live in St Albans.
Do you think you will move
to Lincoln or somewhere else in
Selwyn?
Probably not. I will continue
to commute. Just because my
husband and children’s, Jacob,
15, and Eva, 13, lives are here.
They both go to Boys’ and
Girls’ High respectively and
my husband does the bulk of
his work as a builder over this
side of town. My whole family
are also avid beach people so
they surf and windsurf and
things and being in Selwyn
would make that just a little bit
trickier. I’m not surprised but
I have really enjoyed getting to
know more about the Lincoln
area and particularly where our
school is, it’s just beautiful. Just
feel so lucky to have a school in
such a gorgeous area but also
finding out about Lincoln and
the education fraternity always
talk about contextualising your
curriculum but I’ve known
that to be more true than this
setting because it’s the impact
of teaching in Lincoln has just
added a very special dimension
to our curriculum.

impact of learning
Have you ever taught
your own children?
So when I was at St
Albans School, we were
all at St Albans School
together. But I wasn’t a
classroom teacher there
I was what’s called a
walking deputy principal.
While I taught them in
various classes, I didn’t
ever have them in my own
class. I taught maths, or I
taught gifted and talented
programmes and they may
have been in the odd class
but I wasn’t a classroom
teacher as such.
What was it like on the
odd occasion to teach your
own children, was it a bit
strange?
Not really. It was really
nice for us all to be at the
same school.
Can you tell me a bit
about the new school
and when it is opening
officially?
So it will officially open
on February 5. The blessing
will take place on January
15, so we will be on-site
in the three weeks prior
to opening. It’s built for
450 students but with a
future capacity of 750, so
they will build another
block in the future if the
roll increases. The hall and
administration building
though are for a capacity of
750. It is modern learning
environments with spaces
designed for two or three
classes to work together
but complemented by
lovely breakout spaces,
kitchen and making and
art facilities... It’s got
two playgrounds and an
internal courtyard and
lots of landscaping with
vegetable gardens and a
wee orchard planned.
How many pupils are set
to attend next year?
It’s variable . . . but at
the moment we have 90
children expected on day

daughter Eva, 13, and son Jacob, 15, has been

one. But I would imagine
that would get up to 100 by
February.
Can parents still enrol
their children?
Yes, so all our enrolment
procedures and links are
on our website http://
ararira.school.nz/.
What’s it been like being
a foundation principal?
It’s been an honour
really but I’ve also felt the
responsibility of it
. . . you’re not given a
blank canvas but you are
given the opportunity to
create something that fits
within the constraints of
the ministry’s systems but
is what you believe about
teaching and learning. And
that opportunity doesn’t
come up very often. The
easy option would have
been to have recreated
things that you know work
but we’ve tried to stay true
to the visions and values of
the school . . . everything is
centred around developing
caring, curious and capable
learners.
Can you tell me about
what you’ve been this
year?
We rented space off
Lincoln University so
we’ve been on Ellesmere
Junction Rd just down by
the football grounds. So the
year has been spent
just preparing and
working through the
ministry’s requirements for
opening a new school
. . . it’s also been
connecting with the
community, researching
and reading and just
establishing all the
documentation and
philosophy that underpins
great teaching and
learning.
What are you most
looking forward to when
the school opens?
Children. We’ve had
a year I guess without
children although some of
this term we have
spent getting to know
families.
What do you like doing
outside of work?
I’m an avid reader and
I also enjoy keeping fit I

your vehicle looked over before the

another baby was not one of
them.
Maybe that was a foolish assumption,
I don’t know, I’ve only
got the one kid remember.
What are you supposed to do
in that situation? And what is the
other parent supposed to do?
Is there a book on this?
On Tuesday I took Vittoria to a
Plunket playgroup in Papanui on
the advice of a fellow full-time
dad.
It was an enjoyable morning,
the sun was out and there was
plenty of toys and other kids for
Vittoria to play with.
During the course of her rambling
about exploring, she went
inside and sat next to another
wee lass, only a couple of months
younger than her who was playing
with a book.
So, naturally, she steals said
book off the poor kid.
The other baby’s mum was
really good about it, even told her
daughter to share.
However, Vittoria was not satisfied
with just taking her book.
Oh no, she started grabbing
anything this kid was holding,
ignoring my vain pleas for her to
desist or share.
VITTORIA
& Matt
ELEVATED: Vittoria getting a
unobstructed view of Mother
Goose and other classic floats
at the recent Santa Parade.
Eventually the other baby got
sick of Vittoria’s shtick and went
to grab her book back.
Vittoria promptly hit her in the
head with it.
I was mortified, I’d never seen
her hit anyone else before (she’s
hit me heaps, but not in anger).
The wee lass started crying
and I profusely apologised to the
mum and told Vittoria off – but I
don’t know if I did enough?
Vittoria’s had bigger kids do
similar to her and I didn’t know
what I should have done then
either. Other people’s kids seem
like a minefield topic.
Either way, I took Vittoria back
outside to where there were older
kids than her so she couldn’t
cause any more grief.
I suppose I’ll get better at this,
I really don’t think I want a bully
for a daughter, regardless of how
dang cute she is.
In a much nicer update, we
took Vittoria to the recent Santa
Parade in the city.
I’m stoked the old floats like
Mother Goose and the Haunted
House are still about. I haven’t
been to a parade in quite a few
years so it was cool to see the
old classics and share them with
Vittoria.

Subdividing attracts interest
District
councillor
Debra
Hasson
writes
about
subdivision
rules in the
District Plan
THE DISTRICT council is
undertaking a review of it’s
District Plan. Subdividing
always attracts a lot of interest
due to its capital gain.
Developing proposed subdivision
rules for public submission
is challenging. Generally,
the process requires council
to monitor trends, assessing
them against the principles
of the Resource Management
Act, to see if a zone needs to be
changed, created or protected.
So, what’s changed since the
last District Plan was adopted?
Urban growth patterns
Created by the Greater
Christchurch Urban Development
Strategy was forward
thinking. This agency, developed
an urban infrastructure
plan for future growth in and
around existing towns.
The February 22, 2011,
earthquake saw growth migrate
to Selwyn. Thankfully,
the strategy rezoned land
prior, meaning deferred zones
could be brought forward
and released for development.
The idea then allows suitable
adjacent land to be rezoned as
required.
Rural subdivisions
Envisaged 4ha inner plains
and 20ha outside.
However, a disparity allowing
outer plains landowners
owning 40ha plus to subdivide
a minimum 5000m 2 enabling
a dwelling and a no build
covenant over the remaining
19.5ha, retaining a residential
density of one house per 20ha,
has seen the same argument
for subdivision in the inner
plains enabling the creation of
1ha lots scattered throughout
both rural zones.
Purchasing a small
rural lifestyle block is popular
and the recent Selwyn
revaluation saw the average
capital value of these blocks
valued at $927,000 for rating
purposes.
This issue aside, over time
lifestyle blocks have also be
subjected to ongoing amenity
challenges.
For example, Christchurch
City’s industrial growth on
the boundary with Selwyn has
seen the erosion of the green
belt concept with only a thin
line of 4ha blocks remaining,
some divided by the new motorway
and I would be right
in suggesting the residents
of Prebbleton do not want
industrial-zoned land on their
doorstep.
And as zoned industrial
land is costed per square metre,
many businesses have
found the purchase of 4ha and
applying for a resource consent
a cheaper option however
when granted, often generate
complaints from neighbours.
As you can see rural subdivision
has more challenges
than urban.
Having my say on your
behalf, perhaps clearer zones
and rules would alleviate some
of these issues.

PROJECT: Dancing figure sculptures and the year 8 pupils with arts teacher.
School sculptures come alive
• By Emily O’Connell
A SIX-YEAR project, creating
23 life-sized dancing figure
sculptures, is coming to an end
at Rolleston School.
The project started in 2012
with the then year 2 pupils
drawing a picture of the class
dancing in a circle.
Teacher Jade Bell said when
reflecting on the drawings the
pupils identified there were a
number of things they needed
to learn in order to complete an
observational drawing.
“So we explored people dancing
through drawing and then it
moved onto photography, painting
and sculpture,” she said.
Six years on, the pupils are
now in year 8 and nine of their
sculptures have been finished
and will be placed in Rolleston
in the new year.
The remaining 14 sculptures
will be installed in the community
when they are completed,
which Miss Bell said is “an
ongoing process.”
She said the sculptures are
going to be installed in various
spots including Rolleston
Square, Rolleston dog park,
Brookside Park, the school
and outside New World Rolleston.
“I was notified last week that
four of our sculptures which
were designated for Rolleston
Reserve will need to find new
homes, as planning is under
way for the new Rolleston Town
Centre,” Miss Bell said.
Pupil Thomas Preston said
installing the sculptures will
mean a lot to the class.
“We have been working on it
for such a long time and it’s going
to be nice to share our work
with the community,” he said.
The finished pieces looked
“better than expected” to pupil
Sean Bennett, who said it was
great to be completing the
project.
For pupil Ashtyn Steele, the
sculptures reflects the school’s
values.
“I feel that there has been a lot
hard work gone into them and it
shows our school attributes, we
have been persistent and now we
are successful,” she said.
Rolleston Men’s Shed has been
helping the pupils create the
sculptures and Morgan and Pollard
will install them.

FACILITY: Go Hororata gathering ideas for the new Hororata
Community Centre while visiting others in the district.
Ideas sought for
new Hororata centre
• By Emily O’Connell
A SPORTS floor, covered
outdoor area and a stage.
These are just a few of the
features which could be included
in the new $4.6 million Hororata
Community Centre.
A survey has been developed
for people to have their say on
what they would like to see included
in the centre.
It asks participants to rate
the importance of a number of
features such as having a lounge,
a duty manager and kitchen.
This will help Go Hororata,
the group behind the new centre,
develop conceptual plans.
Go Hororata is formed from
nine different community groups
and elected members of the
public.
The district council has included
the project in its Long Term
Plan, it is planned to be built on
Hororata Reserve in 2023/4.
It will be funded through a
mix of fundraising, development
contributions, insurance, other
funds and targeted rates.
Hororata senior station officer
Roger Parsons said he didn’t
have any “special” ideas for the
new centre but he will fill out the
survey and see what happens.
“I think there’s a group trying
to keep the old hall, take it back
to its original [state] and use it
for a museum . . . which would
be a good idea,” he said.
Mr Parsons believes the new
centre will be used more than
the hall as “it’s not very inviting
at the moment.”
Go Hororata chairman Dave
Sligh said Go Hororata is committed
to developing a multi-use
community centre which is an
asset to residents, the district
“and beyond.”
“It is important at this point
that all community groups and
businesses express their interest
in being involved in the project,”
he said.
Go Hororata has appointed
Octa Associates to work with
the community to develop a
detail brief for the community
centre and to engage with architects.
In October, the group visited
the Dunsandel, Greenpark, Tai
Tapu, Templeton, West Melton
and Glentunnel community
centres to gather ideas.
•To complete the survey,

on Sunday.

New safety vests keep
Weedons pupils safe
WEEDONS SCHOOL pupils
will be a lot safer when they
bike or walk to school thanks to
new safety vests provided by the
Selwyn Business Group.
The group provides a network
for small and medium-sized
businesses which support
other companies, charities
and community groups in the
district.
Providing safety vests for
Weedons School pupils was a
low-cost idea with a big impact.
It was suggested by Shona
Cottrell, who runs the sewing
school, Creative Edge Studio,
and has children at the school.
During her school runs, Mrs
Cottrell noticed many pupils
walking or biking around
high-speed rural roads who
were often not that visible to
motorists.
Principal Kathy Bell said the
school has a number of pupils
who catch buses to and from
school on busy roads and some
who cycle along 80-100km/h
roads. “The new shiny vests will
make them a lot more visible
and will be greatly appreciated
by these pupils and their
families,” she said.
Mrs Cottrell presented 25
vests at a school assembly and
said it was a great pleasure, as

100 days of summer
West Melton opening
This summer get out and enjoy what our district has to offer with our helpful list of activities to do
in the district over the summer.
Our 100 Days of Summer guide will be arriving in your letterbox this week. The activities range
from a perfect day for the thrill-seekers through to something for those just wanting to lounge
around in the sun.
Growing up in Darfield and now calling it home, Mayor Sam Broughton has spent many years
exploring Selwyn.
He sees this as a great chance to have a chat to friends and family about how to make the most
of down time around the holidays.
“This is a great chance to create memorable adventures around Selwyn this summer,” he says.
“It’s a magical district, with so much to see and do right on our own doorstep. I really hope people
get out and about and enjoy the great locations and activities around Selwyn.”
With ideas like going fishing, visiting some of the great summer spots, jumping on the
TranzAlpine, heading out to Darfield, Leeston and Chamberlains Ford, visiting a winery and
dozens more, there should never a day of head scratching – so residents should keep their 100
Days of Summer list handy.
Mayor Broughton says whether you’re new to Selwyn or have lived here for some time, he hopes
you use this guide as a tool to relive your favourite memories or create some new ones.
The 100 Day of Summer flyer should be arriving in letterboxes across the district this week.
There’s also a chance to win cool prizes by posting your adventures on Instagram of you trying
out one of our 100 Days of Summer activities. Just tag us at @sensationalselwyn and you’re in the
draw. If you’re not on Instagram flick your pictures through to competition@selwyn.govt.nz, we’ll
draw random winners throughout the summer and you can enter as many times as you like.

toys, please ensure that the different packing material types are separated. Toys, clothes, polystyrene,
drinking glasses or crockery cannot go in the recycling bin. Remember, if it is not on the sticker
underneath your bin lid, then don’t put it in the bin!

Newest generation
well catered for
Lincoln University Childcare and Preschool
has now been around for 30 years and former
pupils could be bringing their own children
to experience what they had before.
It was opened in 1988 to provide education
and care for the children of families of the
staff and students of Lincoln University,
local research organisations and the Lincoln
community.
The centre has a separate under-two area
that allows the children to play and learn
in a safe and developmentally appropriate
environment.
New under-twos can now also get their first
month free.
All children have a primary caregiver who
is responsible for ensuring that children’s
individual needs are being met, for example
in feeding, settling in and feeling secure in the
centre. Having a primary caregiver enables
infants and toddlers to build a sense of trust
with the people who care for them.
The centre can take up to 12
children on the under-two side
to ensure providing care and
education of the highest quality.
The teachers all have extensive
training and experience in
working with children of this age
group.
Staff are observant and
responsive to children’s needs,
strengths and interests and
promote positive relationships
among children that promote
cooperative play.
They also employ good-quality individual
assessment and planning that helps teachers
respond to and build on children’s interest
and strengths.
Each child’s progress is recorded in their
profile books and their individual learning
programmes are recorded there too. Parents
are invited to contribute their knowledge and
ideas for the development of their children’s
learning opportunities.
Children have access to a wide range of
learning experiences that include individual,
small and large groups, based on Te Whāriki
(the Early Childhood curriculum).
Te Whāriki, expresses the centre’s
philosophy, supporting every child to be
confident and competent learners, strong
in their identity, language and culture, and
forming strong partnerships with families.

Marsupial of the bug world
Mike Bowie is
an ecologist
who specialises
in entomology
(insects and other
invertebrates). Each
week he introduces
a new species found
in his backyard at
Lincoln. His column
aims to raise public
awareness of
biodiversity, the
variety of living things
around us. Check
out the full list of
invertebrates found at
http://naturewatch.
org.nz/projects/
backyard-biodiversitybugs-in-lincoln
ROLY-POLY, pillbug and
wood louse are all names
used for the cosmopolitan
species Armadillidium
vulgare.
This introduced
invertebrate from Europe
rolls up to resemble a pill,
hence the common names.
Its genus name also gives
a clue to its plate-like form
used in its defence, much
like the armadillo.
Pillbugs can often be
confused with rough slaters
Porcellio scaber, however
the latter cannot roll up,
are flatter in appearance
BUG: Roly-poly, pillbug and wood louse are
all names used for the cosmopolitan species
Armadillidium vulgare.
and have appendages out
their rear end.
Pillbugs range in length
from 9 to 18mm when
mature, have a thorax
which consists of seven
segments, each with a pair
of legs. They live for two to
five years.
These unusual bugs
are nocturnal, so during
the day are usually found
under logs or dead plant
material so as not to desiccate.
They are detritivores,
playing an important
ecosystem service role of
breaking down organic
plant material to nitrogen,
potassium and phosphorus.
Females have a brooding
pouch called a marsupium
when they are pregnant.
Females can produce up to
three broods per year made
up of 100-200 eggs.
When the 0.5mm eggs
hatch, they remain in the
pouch for one to two weeks
feeding on marsupium
fluid.
This truly is the
marsupial of the bug
world.

Prebbleton frustrated over Punivai decision
SPORTS
STAR: Prebbleton have lost out to Burnside in the pursuit of their
former junior player Isaiah Punivai for the 2019 senior rugby
season.
Young star opts to play for metro club
• By Gordon Findlater
PREBBLETON’S hope of
securing the services of one of
the country’s most promising
rugby prospects has been dashed
after they lost out to metro club
Burnside.
Isaiah Punivai made headlines
earlier in the year when he left
Christ’s College to take up a
scholarship with St Kentigern
College in east Auckland.
The 18-year-old played junior
rugby for Prebbleton.
The country club understood
Isaiah and his father, Vai, were
open to a potential return to his
former club due to it being their
centennial year.
However, Punivai has opted to
continue his development with
Burnside.
“You can’t limit your own
options so it [Prebbleton] was
something to look at, but I guess
what’s done is done now, my
next few years are already set,”
said Punivai.
“Burnside just kind of ticked
all the boxes for me.”
Prebbleton are disappointed to
miss out on the potential return
of possibly the most high-profile
junior player to come out of the
club.
“My understanding from
those discussions are that he was
keen and the family was keen
to have a year with us for our
centennial year,” said Prebbleton
coach Derek Todd.
“He’s a player that we were
really looking forward to having,
not just because of his ability, but
about promoting the pathways
that are available within our
club.”
Punivai is contracted to the
Crusaders academy.
It’s understood Prebbleton
were due to have a meeting with
Punivai following a meeting
between him and the academy.
“The outcome from that
meeting, as I understand it, is
that he was told he was playing
for Burnside,” said Todd.
“That’s fine, but why wasn’t
that offered to anyone else or
offered to us as his homegrown
club?”
“If we’re talking about country
rugby and development, here’s
a kid that could have done
wonders for our community.”
Punivai said he was not
pushed towards Burnside
by Canterbury Rugby or the
Crusaders Academy.
SUCCESS: Jack
Rodgers, Maia
Broughton and
Luke Barrett

medal haul

secondary
schools track
championships.
Selwyn club runners

A TRIO of Selwyn Athletics
Club members took out medals
at the recent New Zealand
secondary schools track
and field championships in
Dunedin.
The championships, held earlier
this month, were attended
by 1200 pupils from more than
200 schools.

for St Andrew’s College,
won two gold medals in the senior
girls 100m and 200m events.
The 16-year-old won the 100m
final by just 0.02sec in 12.39sec.
She followed the effort up in
the 200m with a winning time
of 22.19sec.
Jack Rodgers, competing
for Christchurch Boys’
High School, won gold in the
junior boys 400m, bronze in
the 100m and bronze in the
4x400m.
He also finished fifth in the
long jump with a new personal
best of 6.12m.
Rodgers’ win in the 400m was
emphatic, finishing in 52.30sec,
nearly 2sec clear of his nearest
rival.
Behind Rodgers was Rolleston
College’s Luke Barrett who took
silver in a time of 54.24sec.
All three athletes are coached
by former Commonwealth
Games runner Bev Peterson.
Beatty’s hat-trick doesn’t
stop Leeston-Southbridge
•From page 1
“It pitched on middle and hit
the top of off stump, so it was
almost the perfect delivery. It
was pretty exciting, really,” said
Beatty.
He came into his hat-trick on
on the back of being walloped
for two sixes by Leeston-
Southbridge’s Ben Donkers.
“It wasn’t ideal but he got out
the following over. For my next
over I was just trying to bowl
yorker length and had a field set
for it,” said Beatty, who is also the
club’s president.
Earlier Beatty also claimed the
wicket of Toby Doyle to finish
with 4/22 from his four overs.
However, Beatty’s remarkable
spell wasn’t enough to get his side
across the line against Leeston-
Southbridge.
Their 95-run win means
Leeston-Southbridge keep
their place at the top of the
competition.
After two wins on the opening
day of the competition, Leeston-
ATTACK: Ben Donkers scored
45 from just 19 deliveries for
Leeston-Southbridge.
Southbridge suffered their first
loss on Saturday morning at
Dudley Park, going down by
seven wickets to Cheviot.
Cheviot reached their target of
96 with just one ball remaining.
But Leeston-Southbridge
bounced back in their second
match of the day against
Darfield.
Batting first, Leeston-
Southbridge made 157/7. The
charge was led by Donkers – who
has returned home from Otago
University – and Chris Beatson.
Donkers, batting at No 3,
scored 45 from just 19 deliveries.
His knock included five sixes and
two fours.
Beatson, batting at No 5, then
steered the innings home with an
unbeaten 46 off 31.
The hat-trick was the only
highlight for Darfield as they
were bowled out for 62 in the
19th over.
Earlier in the day, they lost to
Sefton on the final ball of the
match.
Sefton scored a boundary,
needing three runs from the last
delivery.

Motoring
• By Ross Kiddie
MY WIFE will tell you I’m not a
big fan of supermarkets, and she
is right, I see them as a necessary
evil.
However, there is one thing
that I find favour with, and that is
when it comes to pay, the item is
scanned through the barcode and
that is what it costs.
It should be that simple when it
comes to buying cars – one price,
no discounts, what you see on the
price tag is what you pay.
Honda has utilised that price
promise concept for several years,
and it’s been very successful for
the company, people rock up and
there is no need to talk turkey
over the price.
Toyota, too, have just incorporated
that method of selling and
judging by recent sales figures it’s
keeping Toyota in a comfortable
position as the end-of-year sales
figures roll in.
Toyota’s success this year has
also been buoyed by the arrival
of a new Corolla, a car which
doesn’t look that much different
to that of the previous generation,
but underneath it has had some
significant changes for comfort,
safety and driveability.
The Corolla lands with a choice
of five different models, two of
those are hybrid. Regular readers
will recall my hybrid evaluation
at the beginning of last month,
and it served to convince me that
hybrids are a viable future as we
head into the electric revolution.
However, this evaluation surrounds
the mid-spec SX model
which has a traditional power
plant, a 2-litre four-cylinder
petrol engine. Gone is the 1.8-litre
unit of the previous generation;
in the name of progress, the new
power plant is more refined than
before, has more power and marginally
greater fuel economy.
Toyota rates the new engine
with 125kW at the top end and
200Nm of torque, up 21 per cent
and 15 per cent respectively. The
points of delivery are quite tall
in the rev band – 6600rpm and
4800rpm, however, such are the
overall outputs there is still a
broad spread of power. Take into
account as well, the engine drives
through a paddle-shift continuously
variable transmission which
is stepped through 10 points,
which means the engine isn’t
loaded.
Together there is good harmony
and fluid response to accelerator
input. The engine feels quite zingy
and strong, it works the rev band
freely and, I guess, you’d expect
nothing less, Toyota has built millions
of Corolla engines and I’d be
surprised if it didn’t feel right.
It is also an engine which is
light on fuel use. That’s a necessary
criteria in these days of wayward
fuel prices. Toyota claims
a six-litre per 100km (47mpg)
combined cycle average, which
sits well with the fuel usage readout
in the test car. It was showing
a constant 7.2l/100km (39mpg)
• Price – Toyota Corolla SX,
$32,490
• Dimensions – Length,
4652mm; width, 1843mm;

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,

Nothing has changed in Corolla – except everything
TOYOTA COROLLA SX: No-haggle price of $32,490
SELWYN TIMES
Fire rages, homes at risk
during a mix of pre-Christmas
inner-city driving and a Port Hills
loop. At 100km/h the engine
is working over slowly at just
1500rpm, returning an instantaneous
fuel usage consumption of
just 4.5l/100km (63mpg).
My wife had a work Christmas
function to attend in Barrys Bay,
so the Corolla was used to travel
to that event.
The Christchurch/Akaroa
Highway isn’t my favourite piece
of road given the volume of traffic,
but the Corolla responded
well on the few overtaking
opportunities that presented
themselves. An overtaking time
of 6.8sec is possible (80km/h-
120km/h), while from a standstill
it will also launch to 100km/h in
9.2sec.
Those figures give you some
indication of its zest and ability. It
also handles nicely with beautiful
steering and strong steering
feedback. That’s no surprise,
over the years Corollas destined
for our market have had chassis
engineering developed for our
roads and that certainly showed
on the twists and turns of the
Akaora hill.
Add in the development
work Toyota has done with the
chassis in the latest generation
car and you have a dynamic
handling vehicle, one which
belies its role as a mainstream
hatchback.
Elsewhere, the Corolla stands
out for its quality of build and
high amount of fitment. At the
new no-haggle price of $32,490,
the SX includes all the features
you need for convenience and, of
course, comfort has been a high
manufacturing priority.
On the subject of prices, an
entry-level base model Corolla
is available for $29,990, and that
would be the car for me, but if
you want all the bells and whistles
then the ZR at $37,490 is also
there to tempt.
According to Toyota’s
advertising slogan, nothing has
changed for the new generation
Corolla – except everything. Sure,
it looks like the Corolla we have
come to know and love, and it
certainly drives like a Corolla
should, the only thing is that it is
much better in every respect.

Fire rages, homes at risk
DIVERSE: It’s time to harvest summer salad vegetables. (Centre and below) – Flowering annuals should be providing a wealth of colour. Only irrigate your lawn in
cooler temperatures.
Control the growth in your garden
SUMMER IS here. It’s a hugely
busy time in the garden with
vigorous growth on most plants,
harvesting of early maturing
summer vegetables and preparing
the garden if you are planning on
heading away.
Vege garden
Summer salad vegetables will
be maturing mid/late December.
Regularly apply side dressings of
fertiliser to enhance the growth of
these plants. With quick maturing
crops such as radishes, dwarf
beans and lettuce, use succession
planting (every two to three
weeks) to avoid them all maturing
at the same time and ensuring
you have a constant supply.
Plan you watering or irrigation
programme to encourage strong
plant growth while avoiding
wasting any water. Apply mulch
to reduce water loss and help prevent
weed growth. Early planted
potatoes should be ready to be
harvested for Christmas Day.
Continue to remove the lateral
growth on your tomato plants
until they reach around 1m, and
tie up to stakes at regular points
(every 100–150mm).
Summer flowers
With little effort, summer
annuals can provide masses of
colour and beauty in the garden
or containers. Summer flowers
include; ageratum, cornflower,
cosmos, marigolds, petunias,
portulacas, salvias, strawflowers
and zinnias. Deadhead old finished
flowers to encourage more
flowering.
Fruit trees
Early stone fruit such as plums
start to ripen towards the end
of the month. You may need to
remove some excess new growth
and thin laden bunches of fruit
to help promote heavy cropping.
Water newly planted fruit trees
and mulch as soils begin to dry.
Berries and strawberries
Boysenberries, blackcurrants,
gooseberries and raspberries can
be harvested in late December.
They will be developing new
canes that should be tied down
or removed when there is
excessive growth.
It’s a great month for harvesting
strawberries. Protect plants
with bird netting so they don’t
eat the fruit before you do. Place
pea straw or crushed bark around
plants so fruit are sitting on a
‘clean bed’. Water as required and
with the minimum of maintenance
you should be harvesting
delicious, juicy strawberries well
into January.
Roses
It’s an excellent month for rose
before the difficult months of
January and February. It’s important
to continue to deadhead finished
flowers to encourage more
blooms. Apply regular side dressings
of rose fertiliser to encourage
strong healthy growth. Carry out
summer pruning to promote further
flowering. Inspect your roses
regularly for signs of blackspot
and rust and instigate a regular
spraying programme to control
these diseases.
Lawns
Depending on specific summer
weather conditions, lawns
should either be in peak condition
or beginning to dry out.
Avoid mowing too low over hot
summer months and do not
apply fertiliser. If water supply allows,
irrigate lawns in the cooler
parts of the day. If you have
bare patches appearing, you will
need to be patient and wait until
TASTE: Late December is the
normal time to be picking
berries.
autumn before carrying out any
repair work.
Preparing the garden for
summer holidays
Because we traditionally
holiday in the Christmas/January
period, “deserting” the garden at
this time can lead to problems.
It’s better to plan ahead and be
prepared. Avoid problems by not
having your vegetable crops maturing
during this time, applying
a good layer of mulch and installing
a timer or asking a neighbour
to water your garden while you
are away. This is especially important
with plants in containers.
Have a blooming fantastic
Christmas and enjoy the holidays.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand
has b en a proached in a bid to
fina ly repair the potholes in New
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.
Coastal-Burw od Ward city
counci lor David East wants
WorkSafe to pre sure the car
park’s private owners into
repairing the potholes which are
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.
WorkSafe chief inspector
a se sment southern Da ren
Handforth said it may be able to
take action under the Health and
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a
person conducting a busine s or
undertaking.”
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe
is aware of the concerns raised by
Cr East abou the car park.
“WorkSafe has completed
an a se sment visi to the site
and is engaging with the owner
to advise them that it is their
responsibility to manage their
risks a propriately.”
Different parts of the car park
are owned by various people
and the Coastal-Burw od
Community Board recently
wrote to them about its concerns
around health and safety.
Cr East said the bi gest i sue
in the past has b en ge ting in
touch with the landlords and
owners and ge ting them to
agr e to anything. “The board
a preciates that multi-ownership
of the parking space may present
a difficulty in co-ordinating
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged
to pa s these concerns onto you,”
said the le ter.
One reply has b en received so
far from an owner who is wi ling
to discu s the i sue. However, a l
the owners would have to agr e
to undertake work.
Cr East said there had b en
a “number of incidences” in
the car park of people injuring
themselves which had gone
unreported.
“I’ve always though that it
has b en quite amazing that we
haven’t had any serious a cidents
or senior citizens perhaps
tri ping in those potholes and
doing themselve some damage.”
He is confiden the new
a proach wi l bring results.
“I think the WorkSafe
involvement may prove to be the
lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes
Community Board has taken the
rare step of starting a petition
to figh the city council over
funding.
Signatures are being co lected
in a bid to get funding for a community
facility in Shirley.
It comes after the city council
removed funding for the centre
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This
was the site of the former community
centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 2,
20 1, earthquake.
The removal o funding
prompted community board
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten
to stan down, citing it as her “die
in the ditch” project.
Ms Jone said the board’s role
is to represen the community,
and by gathering signatures from
residents, it was fulfi ling that
role.
“One of the roles of a community
board is to represent and act
as advocate for the interests of its
community and this is what we
are doing. The LTP and a nual
plans are a l about lo bying the
council.”

Mr Winder and his team, the

“To get second behind Ireland

“Those guys over there

If you’ve been looking for a property that oozes style &
sophistication yet has been carefully thought out to cater for
all your day to day needs, with so many extra’s that will leave
you wanting for nothing more… then you’ll be excited you have
finally found just that home! From the street, you’d be forgiven
for thinking this home merely has a double garage, but once
inside you’ll be overwhelmed to see an oversized 4 car tandem
garage with drive through & additional workshop space, plus
it’s also carpeted with a pull-down ladder for attic storage – a
second ladder also in the hallway. This stunning 339m 2 home
offers a large open plan living space with skylights & plenty of
sliding doors to let the light stream in & enjoys seamless flow to
the two outdoor deck areas & expansive lawn – an entertainer’s
haven on 1076m 2 . You’ll love the central designer kitchen, with
stone bench tops, double fridge space, twin wall ovens, 90cm
cooktop & WIP with sink. A ducted heat pump/air con system
& log burner caters for all year around comfort, & under tile
heating in the bathrooms. The separate lounge with cathedral
ceiling is an intimately special space. Heading down the wide
hallway, you’ll find a large separate laundry with impressive
storage, a separate toilet with basin, walk-in storage & 4 large
double bedrooms – master having a WIR & tiled en-suite and
access to the deck. The smaller 5th bedroom is located at the
front of the home off the entrance, perfect for those who may
wish to use it as a home office. We know you’re tempted!

This Christmas we are
offering you the gift of a
Self-Sustaining Income
and Growth Opportunity
Kip McGrath Education Centre, Selwyn District, Canterbury
20 years ago my husband Mark
Larson and I (Anne Larson)
discovered an opportunity to use
our teaching skills to help students
whose learning needs were not met
well by mainstream education. We
bought a Kip McGrath Centre and
gave up the classroom for one to
one individualized tuition. This was
the start of our journey of personal
and professional fulfillment
through making a real difference
for students.
Kip McGrath understood that every
child learns differently and developed
a methodology to help children to
catch up and keep up in the core areas
of English and Maths. Now, more than
40 years later, Kip McGrath Education
Centres continues to tutor primary and
secondary students all over the world to
help them reach their full potential.
Early in our journey as the business
evolved quickly our daughter Mel joined
the team. We were all very passionate
about providing meaningful and
successful engagement with learning
for all students. We have been family
owned and operated ever since. 5 years
ago we became local as well when we
started a new centre in Lincoln.
As a tuition provider we have found
such a wide range of people that needed
and benefited from our tuition services.
We have enjoyed challenging extension
learners, providing second learning
opportunities for adult students and
uncovering New Zealand curriculum
to Bi Lingual Students. We have found
the potential in at -risk alternative
education students. We have created
long standing relationships with
students who perform best with
ongoing support through their school
life. Some students we have worked
with for 5 or 6 years. One of the most
rewarding things on this 20 year journey
has been working with students who
have never done well at school who
experience academic success for the
first time.
One of our students began working with
us 18 months ago. At the start he had a
reading age of 10 years old even though
he was almost 16. Over 12 months of
tuition he raised his reading age to 15
years with 100 percent comprehension
understanding. He has just completed
NCEA Level 1 which would not have
been possible without this help. His
mum’s emotional reaction was worth
every minute of hard work.
We have loved the quality lifestyle we
have by being Centre owners as well.
We have had the flexibility to pursue
more than just work at the centre and
have a balanced work and home life.
My husband Mark has been Principal
of a large school while we have been
in business and continues now in
high profile education work. I have
continued to have a full and busy
family life while running the centre.
We have 11 grandchildren now that I
still have time to read with everyday
and frequently babysit. An enormous
challenge for us was our 35 year old
daughter’s battle with cancer. We
were able to take care of her at home
and help her husband and their four
children intensively over the 7 months
she was ill. We were enormously
grateful that we could adjust our
schedule to take time to grieve when
we lost her.
Big News for us! We have decided after 20 years in successful business with Kip McGrath that it is time
to sell the centre so another passionate teacher has an opportunity to make a difference. Anne and the
teaching team will stay on when the centre sells so there will be no disruptive changes for students and
their families. We will keep you all updated throughout as we look for just the right person to sell to.
In the last two years since we lost our daughter, we have been ticking
over with an existing data base, without marketing it to its full capacity.
We would love to herar from a qualified teacher, who wishes to step out
of the current Education System and take charge of your own destiny,
add your own creativity and take advantage of the current growth in the
Selwyn area.
The hours are flexible and students are allowed time off school to attend.
Kip McGrath provide all the training and support you need and has a
supportive business community throughout Canterbury.
This business includes all the business tools and teaching components.
There is the added opportunity of retaining myself and another teacher
as tutors that would ensure “Business as Usual” to maintain minimal
disruption to our students.
We will take good care of finding the right person to sell to as we wish
the centre to continue to contribute to our Communities future.
We have handed over to Hannah McGowan from Harcourts Gold to
market this opportunity. Hannah is well experienced in sales, finance
and business operations.
This is a business opportunity not to be missed and a
great way to kick start your new year.
The business must sell before the new school year.
All offers will be presented.

for you
Aim for a sunny yard.
Orienting a home towards the sun is
critical when building for guaranteeing
a warmer brighter home while adding
value to the property.
Before finalising the purchase of a
section, sort out the basics of the house
design you want and check it will work
on that piece of land. Visit showhomes
and look at how they are sited and talk
to building company consultants, your
architectural designer or architect.
Weigh up where you want the sun to
be at different times of the day. Once,
kitchens and living areas were located
on the cooler side of a home due to the
coal range burning most of the day,
which kept the home warm. Today,
we look to the sun for that extra free
heating so having sun in the rooms we
use throughout the day is an advantage.
For example, a sunny dining area around
breakfast can be a nice way to start the
day while warmth in living areas midmorning
to late afternoon and sunny
bedrooms later in the day can be ideal.
With many sections there is a trade-off
where some rooms may not get much
sun. If possible position service areas
like the kitchen, bathrooms, toilets and
laundry on the south and southeast.
Having a street view depends on
personal taste while a sunny yard for
outdoor living with some protection
from prevailing nor’ westerly or easterly
winds are also good aims. From the
outset, work with your consultant or
designer so you end up with the best
possible design for your section and
living needs.
If building in a new housing estate
its covenants will need to be observed.
These rules state what is acceptable to
the developer in keeping with the vision
and standard for the subdivision. Some
covenants are quite specific stating
the type of cladding that can be used,
acceptable roof pitch, and other design
features, especially where they face the
street. The types of materials and colours
that can be used might also be required
and a landscaping plan for the front yard
expected.
All details need to be provided to the
subdivision developer and signed off,
before the build starts. It is therefore best
to address this before lodging building
consent, in case critical changes need to
be made to the design or materials. A
bond is also often required to be lodged
as protection against any damage to the
roadside curbing and other aspects of the
estate so factor this into your budget.
The Selwyn District Council often
requires a Geotech and soil test reports
are included with any building consent
application. If building in a new subdivision,
talk to your developer’s
representative as these may already be
available. Of course, a due diligence
check by you and your lawyer before
purchasing any block of dirt will help
avoid any issues.
Having a street view
depends on personal taste.
