What an exciting year we had in 2018, 2019 looks to be even better as we strive to get ever closer to our vision as ‘a centre of creative excellence’. Having occupied the first of our new buildings, we watch with excitement as stage two of our rebuild takes place, giving us some of the best secondary school buildings in the country at the moment. The spaces encourage all the best learning habits, and every day we see our amazing students, our beautiful rangatahi, engaged with and enjoying their learning. During an interview with a new parent late in 2018, he said ‘You are proud of this school, aren’t you’, to which I answered ‘yes we are’. He came right back at me and said ‘When I dropped off our enrolment forms, I could see it in your kids.’ And he is so right. There is much to be proud of at Te Huruhuru Ao o Horomaka Hornby High School.

Matt Slaughter Ph: 021 910 788 matt.slaughter@starmedia.kiwi explore new, more exciting, and more engaging, ways to learn together. All of this exciting learning is magnified by our use of Chromebooks. The end result of this is that, for example, writing achievement is accelerated at twice the average for children across the country, one of many achievements of which we are very proud. We ask that all children come to Hornby High School with a serviceable Chromebook. On top of all that, music, arts, sport and culture are flourishing in an environment in which every student is encouraged to be her or his best. This approach lies at the heart of our development of the many gifts and talents that every child has. And all of that takes place on the solid foundation that is our school values: Commitment, Achievement, Resilience, and Respect. Yet again, what an amazing year we are going to have.

PEGASUS POST Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday January 15 2019 3 News Petition launched to save bank Local News Now In Brief Fire rages, homes at risk • By Georgia O’Connor-Harding A PETITION has been launched in a bid to stop Kiwibank closing its branch at Eastgate Shopping Centre. More than 1300 people have signed the petition, which will be put to Kiwibank chief executive Steve Jurkovich and chairwoman of the board Susan Macken before the closure on January 30. It was Jackie Simons launched by Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson, city councillor Yani Johanson and Woolston Community Association chairwoman Jackie Simons. New Zealand Post, which is a joint operation with Kiwibank, will also close on January 30. But NZ Post is still planning to provide postal and bill payment services in Eastgate through an agency. Head of retail Mark Yagmich said it is working on shifting postal services to another local business and hopes to be able to announce who the operator will be later this month. The Kiwibank closure comes three months after Environment CHANGE: Eastgate Shopping Centre’s Kiwibank and New Zealand Post branch will close at the end of the month, but postal services are planned for another agency. Canterbury reduced its bus services in Linwood. Environment Canterbury replaced the 535 bus route with a shopper service. The 155 service runs three times a day, Monday to Friday, and is on trial for 12 months. The closure of Kiwibank has been described as “one more frustrating thing” for residents living in the area. Ms Simons said the closure of Kiwibank is “just ridiculous” as it is the third branch in the area to close. Kiwibank has previously closed its branches on Stanmore Rd and in Woolston. Said Ms Simons: “We have just had a load of bus cuts in the Linwood-Bromley area . . . it is just one more frustrating thing for people who don’t have the same necessary advantages other people do,” she said. City councillor Yani Johanson said the closure was “death by a thousand cuts” and a petition was one way of expressing community concern. “It is absolutely heartbreaking to see the corporate approach they are taking at the expense of the community,” he said. Kiwibank announced in November it would open a standalone branch in Papanui on February 1 and withdraw services from Eastgate and Merivale. A Kiwibank spokeswoman said the way its customers access banking services has changed dramatically over the past 17 years. Less than 10 per cent of Kiwibank’s service transactions now occurs in its physical network. The nearest banking service is at The Palms Kiwibank, which is 5km away. Ms Dyson said it was a terrible time of the year to be launching the petition, but it was “fantastic” to have got more than 1300 signatures. Westpac provides the other banking service at Eastgate. •To sign the petition go to https://bit.ly/2FeyfAU KITCHEN FIRES Cooking left unattended has been the cause of several fires in the New Brighton area. The Anzac Fire Station was called to extinguish a kitchen fire on Keyes Rd and Bridge St last week. Senior station officer Shane O’Brien said it is reminding people not to leave their cooking unattended and to always have working smoke alarms. He said the Keyes Rd property sustained damage to the walls and smoke damage to the house while the Bridge St property had light smoke damage. BROAD PARK FLYING FOX The slide at Broad Park in Waimairi Beach will be replaced next month. The slide was removed in October by the city council after it had begun to rust. The park’s flying fox platform was also removed after it had deteriorated beyond repair. City council head of parks Andrew Rutledge said a date for the reinstallment of the flying fox cannot be set as the design and orientation of it is yet to be confirmed. It is anticipated the replacement will cost $30,000 and $12,000 for the new slide. Quail Island Adventures Get the kids into nature and head to Quail Island!
