Stalling claim denied by ECan
• Matt Slaughter
RESIDENTS AT the Diana
Isaac Retirement Village in
Mairehau say Environment
Canterbury is putting off their
next meeting to discuss new bus
route options.
Village resident Graham Tate
said he believes ECan has been
stalling and past meetings had
not produced a solution.
“They made a promise that
they would give us an accessible
bus and they haven’t kept that
promise.”
An ECan spokesperson said
this was not the case.
“We are not stalling on any
decision, it will take time to work
through the process and we are
still in the stage of working with
(city council), Ryman Healthcare
and Diana Isaac residents to
explore suitable and sustainable
solutions.”
As of last week, the Orbiter
bus service no longer goes along
Philpotts Rd, leaving the village
residents with very few nearby
public transport options.
Residents have been fighting
since March to have the No 44
bus route adjusted so it would
stop at the village.
Mr Tate said he had emailed
ECan after the last meeting in
December to inquire about the
next meeting date.

• Matt Slaughter
A BISHOPDALE menswear
store’s humorous approach to
showing how long the grass is
outside the shop has kicked the
city council into action.
My Mens Store owner Barry
Souter placed a toy cow named
Mildred on the lawn outside
of his shop where the old
Bishopdale Library used to be.
Mr Souter estimated the grass
outside Bishopdale Village Mall
had grown to nearly 1m.
He said there had been
confusion and debate about who
was responsible for maintaining
the land.
City council head of facilities,
property and planning Bruce
Rendall said it was the city
council’s responsibility and the
grassed area had been left off
its maintenance schedule since
the Bishopdale Library was
demolished.
He said thanks to the issue
being raised, the lawn would
now be mowed.
Graham Tate
said even some of the
village’s most elderly
residents now felt their
only option was to get
behind the wheel.
“People are
independent, even
though they’re old, but
there’s a number of 90-yearolds
driving and perhaps
it would be better for
them and the public if
they weren’t.”
The ECan
spokesperson said they
did not know how long it
would be until a decision
on a new route would be made.
“At this stage, there is not
a set timeframe, as it will
be dependent on what any
potential solution looks like.”
ECan would not comment
on the inconveniences and
risks facing rest home residents
now that their bus service was
gone.

The area contains fountains and

REFUGEE EXERCISE
Sport Canterbury will run a
refugee-focused exercise class
from term one of the school
year. Classes will be held at the
Riccarton Baptist Church for
gold coin donations. Last year,
a pilot programme was held in
Phillipstown for eight weeks.
It’s when MPs are working on the
ground that we see the impact that
larger issues, such as Government’s
increased fuel taxes, have on
the daily lives of people. Many of
our residents are having to make
tough choices when faced with the
current rising rent, petrol, electricity
and living costs. I’m advocating
for a family who live in a rural area
and are being forced to decide
between putting food on the table
and meeting transport costs to take
their child to the pick-up point to
attend special-needs education in
Christchurch. The record fuel prices
Kiwi families are struggling under
are nowhere near covered by the
conveyance allowance the family
receives. Commonsense says the
best way to help families get ahead
is to let them keep more of what they
earn.
As Kiwi families feel the bite
of Christmas and back to school
costs, many will not be happy to
hear that Government’s 206 reviews
and working groups are costing
taxpayers almost $700,000 a day.
With almost nine years in opposition,
it would be fair to say most would
expect this Government to have
had sound policies already in
place – without needing to delegate
the job to officials, think tanks
and consultants, while expecting
taxpayers to pick up the bill of over
half a million dollars per day. We will
continue to work hard over this term
to develop robust policies that help
families to get ahead.
My wife and I enjoyed helping
serve at a community Christmas
dinner in the Waimakariri electorate.
It’s a great initiative that ensures
people are not left alone at a time
when traditionally shops, clubs and
activities are closed. It’s also a great
chance to make new friends and
celebrate this time of year with the
community. I always like to take part
on Christmas Day, and it’s great to
greet new faces into our community.
My wife and I decided this year to
enjoy a staycation in the Waimakariri
electorate, choosing to enjoy the
great beaches, walks and facilities

Good Samaritan and dance teacher
Two Papanui residents
have been recognised
in the New Year
Honours List for their
outstanding contribution
to the community. Matt
Slaughter reports
RECOGNITION: When her
fellow Oasis church group
members found out Elsie
Walkinshaw was to receive a
Queen’s Service Medal, they
made her a replica of their
own.
•Elsie Walkinshaw only began
volunteering at the age of 51.
Now, 30 years later, she can’t
put an exact figure on the
“thousands” of Christchurch
residents she has helped through
a diverse range of struggles.
Mrs Walkinshaw’s work has
been recognised with a Queen’s
Service Medal.
After leaving her job in the
clothing trade and having never
undertaken social work before,
Mrs Walkinshaw took up a role
as a volunteer at the Methodist
Mission.
She said she soon found her
skill-set was well-suited to the
work and that has helped her
to succeed in the voluntary and
professional roles she has worked
in since.
Mrs Walkinshaw was a budget
adviser at the Methodist Mission
and a volunteer at Christchurch
Women’s Refugee before
working full-time at a safe house.
She helped establish the
Turning Points Trust, an
organisation which provided
budget advice for people in
financial difficulty in east
Christchurch.
After the earthquakes, she
helped quake-affected families
by providing food and other
necessities through the Grace
Vineyard Church.
Since retiring in 2016,
Mrs Walkinshaw has been a
volunteer telephone counsellor
with Lifeline and a volunteer
advocate and debt management
adviser with Freedom Trust.
She was raised in what she
describes as a “very hard, cruel
orphanage” in England after the
death of her mother when she
was just two.
She became a foster
child at the age of 10, before
moving back in with her
father, who at the time had not
recovered from the death of his
wife, she said.
Mrs Walkinshaw said
“all the years of hell I had
as a child” was what inspired her
to devote the second half of her
life to helping people in need.
“Because of that, I was able
to reach out and understand.
People used to say, you have no
idea how I feel, but I did.”
Mrs Walkinshaw said she
did not tell anyone she had
been nominated for a Queen’s
Service Medal until it was
announced.
“I was shocked, but I am
highly-honoured.”
“I don’t think I’m different
to anyone else, I just loved my
work.”

•Cushla-Mary Piesse has
devoted herself to spreading
Scottish culture through Highland
dancing.
Mrs Piesse first discovered her
love for Highland dancing at the
age of seven.
Her passion for learning the art
form as a child inspired her to teach
it as an adult.
Mrs Piesse has never stopped
teaching since and has been a
Highland dancing tutor at the
Scottish Society of New Zealand for
about 40 years.
Her commitment to spreading
joy through dance has led to her
being named a member of the New
Zealand Order of Merit.
Mrs Piesse said seeing the
children she teaches develop
the same passion that she had at
their age makes her hard work
worthwhile.
“I got so much enjoyment out
of it during my teenage years, and
even into my adult years, that I
really wanted to give back and just
see children enjoying Highland
dancing.”
She said her work has
also been about “passing on
the culture for all things Scottish.”
Mrs Piesse said she was doing
what she loves when she received
news of her recognition – judging
a dancing competition at the
Highland Games in Waipu,
Northland.
She said most of her work has
been voluntary and her reason
for doing it for so many years was
simple.
“It’s all been for the love of
dancing really,” she said.
Mrs Piesse said she has seen
Highland dancing become more
popular since she first became
involved and is certain it will
continue to grow as more people
take it up.
She said her children and
grandchildren were Highland
dancers, too, so the family legacy is
in safe hands.
Mrs Piesse said Highland
dancing classes play a role in
helping young dancers grow as
people.
“The Saturday morning dance
class is a place where you nurture
children who love dancing, so
hopefully they will go on and do
the same thing that I have.”

Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Gordon Findlater
IN THE sporting realm there’s
not much that Barry Gardiner
hasn’t done.
The Avonhead 81-year-old
who celebrated his birthday last
week was recognised for his
achievements by being named
in the New Year Honours List as
a member of the New Zealand
Order of Merit.
Rather than sitting back and
relaxing on the back of the nod,
Gardiner is doing what he does
best. He’s played 10 rounds of
golf in the last 12 days, is swimming
and playing squash regularly,
and is currently riding the
bike most days as he trains for
the 47km Motatapu mountain
bike race from Wanaka to Arrowtown
in March.
“It’s quite a tough course but I
go in it most years because I get
the prize for the oldest finisher
which is a bottle of wine . . . it’s
good stuff as well, Central Otago
pinot noir,” said Gardiner.
You could say Gardiner has
peaked late. In recent times he’s
won squash world titles in the
over 50, 60 and 70 categories.
In his younger days he was one
of the South Island’s top rugby
league and union players until a
serious knee injury in 1965 while
playing for the Hanan Shield
team (a mid-Canterbury, South
Canterbury and North Otago
combined team) against the
Springboks.
Gardner holds a unique record
of having played four different
positions against France in two
different codes in the space of a
year.
In 1960 he played for the South
Island in a rugby league match
against the French. He started in
the forwards. However, 20min
into the game the South Island
halfback was injured. With no
replacements in those days he
played the rest of the match at
halfback.
The following year he represented
South Canterbury
against France. After starting at
flanker he finished the match at
first five-eighths due to another
injury.
Gardiner never played internationally
in either code. However,
he came as close as you possibly
can in 1958 when he was selected
as the emergency forward for
the Kiwis ahead of a test against
Great Britain.
“There was a guy by the name
of Jack Jones who was the prop
selected from Canterbury and
he ended up breaking his finger.
When they found out he couldn’t
play we only had six forwards
and I was included . . . on the
Friday night they announced the
team and they bought in a big
prop from Auckland so everyone
got dropped back one and I
ended up being the emergency,
so I missed out.”
Before moving to Timaru,
Gardiner was part of a very successful
West Coast league team.
“In 1960 we played Auckland
in Auckland and beat them . . .
there was probably about 11 or
12 coasters in the South Island
team that same year and beat
the North Island team in Greymouth,”
said Gardiner.
“We used to beat Canterbury
regularly. It was a good era for
West Coast rugby league. If you
look at where it is on the coast
now it’s a shame. They’ve lost all
their big miners and timber people
which was their strike force
for rugby league.”
Gardiner also played cricket for
the West Coast as a wicket-keeper,
including an unsuccessful Hawke
Cup challenge against Nelson.
While living in the West Coast
he also won the shot put title at
the Canterbury junior athletics
championships in dramatic
fashion.

FAMILY SUCCESS: In 2016, Gardiner won the
75-plus national squash title, his son-in-law
Grant Craig (left) won the 50-plus title and son
Dave Gardiner (right) won the 40-plus title. Two
weeks earlier his granddaughter Megan Craig
won the NZ open women’s title.

travelled by bus on Friday for
the Saturday event. However, a
storm closed roads to Christchurch
meaning the bus didn’t
arrive at Lancaster Park until the
event was well under way.
“We ran across to the shot put
and it had just finished. The official
said: ‘Look I’m sorry but you’re
too late we’ve just finished it.’ We
explained the situation and he said
you can have one throw and it’s
going to have to be right now. I was
still in my street clothes, I picked
it up did my best Parry O’Brien
technique. It flew out of my hand
and I ended up winning it.”
In terms of the many highlights
Gardiner holds a world
over-50 squash title in 1991 as his
greatest achievement.
“I never knew I had that in me.”
The squash court is also where
Gardiner’s most hilarious sporting
moment occurred.
“I was warming for my match
and was in my track pants on. I
went off to take my track pants
off, came back on the court
started the game and the crowd
starting laughing, I looked down
to see I was standing there in my
undies. I had forgot to put on my
shorts under my track pants.”
Off the field Gardiner has been
involved as an administrator
at club, district, national and
international levels. He has
held voluntary committee
membership positions with
squash clubs for 51 years.

Founder of Eldernet recognised
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
TWENTY-TWO years ago
Eleanor Bodger established
Eldernet to help people reaching
their twilight years make some
of the biggest decisions in their
life.
Now the 66-year-old has been
recognised with a Companion of
the New Zealand Order of Merit
Award for services to seniors in
the New Year Honours List.
“One of the things that people
commonly think about ageing
is by the time you get older you
have made the biggest decisions
in your life. But an actual fact
that is not true,” she said.
In the 90s, information to help
older people and their families
make informed decisions during
some of the most crucial moments
in their life was hard to
come by, Ms Bodger said.
In 1997, when the internet was
just beginning to take off, she
took an opportunity to create the
online comprehensive information
service Eldernet.
Each month the online database
has millions of hits.
It provides directories of rest
home and retirement villages,
home help services, and lifestyle
information broadly covering
travel, technology, and financial
assistance.
Ms Bodger said she was “absolutely
flabbergasted” to receive
the award.
“Once I got over being
flabbergasted I was so thrilled
and honoured that the work
we have been doing for a long
time I guess has been found to
be useful to people,” Ms Bodger
said.
It was during the February
22, 2011, earthquake Eldernet
commissioned a report into the
aged-care sector response to the

Honours List.
emergency.
“In terms of that broader stuff,
of course, older people were
significantly affected and many
died before they saw their issues
addressed with their own home,”
Ms Bodger said.
‘I love meeting people’
– Eleanor Bodger
But she said many older people
living in rest homes were more
concerned about what was happening
with staff, their families
and children.
“I think that was maybe part of
the ageing process of having that
really generalist and much more
universal view of life.”
Ms Bodger’s first introduction
to the aged care sector was when
she started working as a nurse at
Nurse Maude in the late 1970s.
From there, she delved into
social and community work and
has since had many highlights in
her career.
“I love meeting people and
I guess the highlight for me is
with the elder network we can be
on the road up to three months
of the year going around the
country,” she said.
Ms Bodger, along with about
three of her staff including her
daughter Esther Perriam will
travel around talking to groups
and organisations.
“We get a huge overview of
what is happening in the area at
any given time and it is pretty
exciting to be able to do that,” she
said.

Achieve your City2Surf goal
IF YOU have over-indulged
during the holidays, there’s no
better way to start the year than
with a new health goal.
The City2Surf on Sunday,
March 24, provides an
opportunity for people of all
different sporting and fitness
abilities to take part in one
of the South Island’s largest
participation events, which
brings together thousands of
people for fun and fitness.
There will be two events
– a 14km event starting at
Centennial Park, Spreydon,
and a Sport Canterbury 6km
event starting at Hansen Park in
Opawa.
The varying lengths mean
there is something suitable
for everyone, whether you
are a runner or walker. Both
events finish at the Ferrymead
playing fields with free entry
to Ferrymead Historic Park for
participants.
Star Media events manager Jon
Holmes said if people don’t know
where to start when training for
a running event, they can check
out the 10-week jog programme,
designed by SportsMed, in The
Star and at www.city2surf.co.nz.
The first edition of the
programme will feature in The
Star on Thursday.
The Athlete’s Foot will continue
to provide a six-week, free
training series in South Hagley
Park every Wednesday, starting
on February 13.
“It’s great for those who want to
meet other runners and get some
tips from the pros and it is open
to all abilities,” Jon said.
“The message is, no matter
what you do or how you do
it, keeping fit and active is so
important for both your physical
and mental health. It’s about
getting up, getting out and
having fun.”
SportsMedicine practitioner
and coach John Hellemans
provides tips every week in a
training programme on the
City2Surf website.
Dr Hellemans says if you are
starting your running journey
from scratch and have never
really jogged or ran before, he
recommends alternating between
brisk walking and jogging.
“Be aware that jogging is
different from running. When
jogging, you go at a pace which is
only a fraction faster than a brisk
walk. Your feet stay close to the
ground and the rhythm is that of
a slow dance.”
This is a technique that, once
mastered, will enable you to
jog for a longer period of time,
allowing you to build up your
fitness and run longer distances.
Participants can choose to
either take part individually or in
a team.
At last year’s event, there
were more than 170 team
entries, including teams of
doctors, construction workers,
accountants and scientists.

Well-known Avon Rowing
Club member will be missed
• Matt Slaughter
THE AVON Rowing Club
community is mourning the
death of one of its longestserving
members.
Ray Flanagan, who was known
as Charlie, died unexpectedly at
home aged 72.
Mr Flanagan had been a
member of the club since 1967
and was successful on the water
as a competitor and off it as a
coach.
He went through the grades
and was a member of the club’s
winning junior eight in 1971.
Mr Flanagan then went
on to win the champion eight
competition at Karapiro in
1976.
He rowed competitively until
1991 before turning his attention
to coaching.
Close friend and fellow club
member, Warren Blazey, said Mr
Flanagan helped to make Avon a
great rowing club on and off the
water.
“He’s been a tireless worker
and a life member.”
Mr Blazey said Mr Flanagan
was “cheerful and charming”
and “always had a good laugh.”
His life was celebrated at a

service at St Mary’s Cathedral on
Friday.
A post on the Canterbury
Rowing Association’s Facebook
page said Mr Flanagan led a
number of rowing teams to great
results.
“He produced many
championship results in all
classes of boats. A record any
coach would be proud of.”
His coaching success at club
level led to further success on the
international stage.
He coached the New Zealand
university eight in 1997 and
1998.
Then in 1999, he coached the
New Zealand junior eight in
Bulgaria. The team recorded
the fastest time ever by a New
Zealand junior crew.

Lower speeds near schools likely
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
LOWER SPEED limits could
be on the horizon to make way
for the new Shirley Boys’ and
Avonside Girls’ High School.
The city council has opened for
submissions on a proposal that
would see a 40km/h school speed
zone on Travis Rd and Bower
Ave.
It is also open for public
feedback on reducing the
permanent speed limit on
Frosts Rd from 70km/h to
50km/h.
The changes are in preparation
for the increased
volume of all road users in
the QE II Park area when
the school opens on April 29.
Sergeant Jim Currie said he
recommended lowering the
speed limit on Frosts Rd during
a recent meeting with the city
council and schools.
“Police are very supportive of
reducing the speed limit to make
it safer . . . especially with a lot
of kids using the cycleway along
Travis Rd,” he said.
The school speed zones would
operate Monday-Friday for no
more than 35min in the morning
and 20min in the afternoon.
The times would be aligned
to the school’s start and finish
times, once these are confirmed.
Signs showing those times will
be installed on side roads including
Atlantis St, Blue Gum Place,
Wattle Drive, Saltaire St and
Marriotts Rd.
City councillor David East
said while he was comfortable
with a 40km/h speed limit
zone around the school, he was
“a bit ambivalent” about the
proposed speed limit change to
Frosts Rd.
“I would prefer to see
some conformity of
60km/h on Frosts Rd
and 60km/h on Travis
Rd back up towards Bassett
St . . . it just needs
uniformity around the
speed zones he said.
Keep QE II in the East
spokeswoman Jo Zervos said the
school speed zones and lowering
the speed limits are “common
sense.”
She said it would have been
better if the school was located
further back from the roadside as
QE II Park is a busy area.
Public consultation will run
until January 28. To make a
submission go to https://www.
ccc.govt.nz

Twins keep parents on their toes
Two years ago
Redwood’s Radhika
Naidu gave birth to
identical twin boys,
Manu and Dominic
Wells. Emily O’Connell
catches up with the
family
“CHEERFUL, PLAYFUL and
extremely naughty.”
That’s how Radhika Naidu describes
her twin boys who were
born nine weeks premature on
January 1, 2017.
Their early arrival meant the
twins spent the first 57 days of
their life in a neonatal intensive
care unit in Christchurch
Women’s Hospital. It also meant
the pair were known as twin
one and two for six weeks, while
Ms Naidu and husband Victor
Wells decided on names which
included both their cultures.
Although the two-year-olds
are identical, Ms Naidu says they
look “so different” and their personalities
are not “alike at all.”
She said Manu, who is the
bigger twin, was the first to walk
and develop skills and Dominic
is more cheerful and observant
and “takes on adverse situations
more readily.”
Along with the twins, Ms
Naidu and Mr Wells are kept
busy with two other children,
Mia, 7, and Ariki who is threeand-half-years
old.
“I just don’t remember having to
monitor them [Mia and Ariki] all
the time like this. These guys [the
twins] egg each other on,” she said.
Ms Naidu says the biggest difference
between the twins and
her older two children is their
comprised immunity caused by a
premature birth.
“Especially Dominic, so when
he was born . . . they realised
his umbilical cord was straggly
and unhealthy looking and it
had knots in it. So it had been

comprising his blood flow from
the beginning,” she said.
Dominic has an eye condition
called nystagmus, which Ms
Naidu has been told is common
with premature babies, and he
has immature lung development
meaning he gets sick easily.
“They both have asthma and
eczema and they use preventers.
They seem to be a little better
now. We’re hoping they keep
improving,” she said.
January 2017 was a busy
month for Ms Naidu and Mr
Wells, with the birth of their
twins which “forever redefined”
New Year’s Day for them, moving
to Redwood from St Albans
and their first child, Mia, starting
primary school. Ms Naidu
said her husband was the “rock”
during this time.
Manu and Dominic aren’t the
only ones in the family born on
a significant day, their grandmother
Protima Naidu was born
on Christmas Day.
Ms Naidu says discovering
Mulitples Canterbury, which
supports people with twins,
triplets or more, has been “encouraging”
and has helped her
feel less isolated.
She said the organisation
provides new parents with
information such as dietary
requirements for premature babies,
the best strollers to use and it helps
connect parents to relevant groups.

Arshaan meets cricket heroes
YOUNG HALSWELL cricketer
Arshaan Askari got up close and
personal with some of his heroes.
Arshaan, 8, met Black Caps
captain Kane Williamson and
Sri Lankan captain Dinesh
Chandimal before day one of the
Boxing Day test at Hagley Oval.
Arshaan won an ANZ
competition to become the coin
toss kid for the day’s play.
He has been playing cricket
for two years with the Halswell
Hurricanes.
Arshaan said it was awesome
to meet Williamson and
Chandimal.
“I love playing cricket. I play
after school and on the weekend.
It was so cool meeting the
captains and getting to be a part
of the coin toss.”
ANZ head of sponsorship Sue
McGregor said Arshaan was one
of 23 young cricketers selected to
take part in the pre-match ritual
this season.
“We are delighted to bring
together the next generation of
cricketers and their heroes. At
ANZ we believe it’s important
to involve and encourage young
cricketers, which is why we
continue to support grassroots
sports,” she said.
“We hope that when they
meet their idols out on the pitch,
they are inspired to continue
training hard and pursuing their
dreams.”

A DECISION on the future of 21
oak trees at Villa Grove has been
deferred.
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board chairman
Mike Mora said the issue was
not discussed at the board
meeting last month because
not all residents were aware the
discussion was due to take place.
As a result, the matter was
deferred until the next board
meeting on January 29 or until
early next month.
This will give time to ensure all
residents are made aware that the
topic will be brought back to the
community board table, Mr Mora
said.
A representative for Villa Grove
residents refused to comment.

DECISION:
Villa Grove

want the

removed.
Board delays decision
on Villa Grove trees
Western News reported in
September that Villa Grove
residents were unhappy with
the oak trees and wanted them
removed.
THe residents presented a
24-signature petition to the
community board, calling for the
trees to be removed.
Residents told the community
board that leaves from the trees
had been set on fire, the trees
caused uneven footpaths and they
feared the oaks could topple in
high wind.
THe board members met with
the residents in October to inspect
the area before making a decision.
THe trees are between 8.1m
and 15.8m high and were
planted between 1992 and 1994,
when the Villa Grove subdivision
was built.

Enrolments for Term
One at Anna Lee
School of Dance are
being taken now
DRINKS: This illustration from M. Bartlet, courtesy of Papanui High School,
shows how The Sawyers Arms, one of the first public houses opened in
Papanui, catered mostly for timber workers in the area.
Rich history behind one
of Papanui’s first pubs
Papanui Heritage Group chairman Murray Williams writes about
the history of The Sawyers Arms pub and its previous owners
ONE OF the first service
industries to be set up
to cater for the timber
workers of early Papanui
was a public house known
as The Sawyers Arms,
located on the road which
shared its name.
The licensees of this
establishment, Henry Roil
and Robert Carr, were
colourful characters who
before becoming owners
of the hotel had described
themselves as ‘timber
dealers.’
They had also acquired
land in Papanui and after
relinquishing their hotel
licence in 1854, tried to
generate some income
from this holding by
seeking lessees for two 12
acre (4.8ha) lots.
Over the next three
years, Mr Roil and
Mr Carr advertised
continually and
presumably fruitlessly in
the Lyttelton Times.
The lack of interest
on the part of potential
tenants could perhaps
have been because the
land, with its frontage on
Sawyers Arms Rd, would
have been the first part
of the native bush to have
been cut out and was then
considered to have little
residual value.
It was not until the early
1860s that it was realised
that, when drained, the
land could sustain a
horticultural and farming
future.
Mr Roil died in 1862
from the effects of an
accident when his dray
collided with a bullock
wagon but the fate of
Mr Carr and his wife
Elizabeth is less clear-cut.
Charlotte MacDonald,
in her book A Woman
of Good Character, has
attempted to document
their experiences.
In 1857, they left New
Zealand for Britain but
Mr Carr deserted his wife
and their two children.
However, Mrs Carr
displayed her tenacity
by following her errant
husband’s trail around the
world. In 1861 she turned
up in Sydney but by 1865
she was in London.
There she contacted
John Marshman, the
Canterbury immigration
agent, for help in tracing
her husband and was also
interested in establishing
his assets, specifically a
certain landholding in
Papanui.
After this reference,
MacDonald could find no
further record as to either
Mr or Mrs Carr, although
it is possible that Mr Carr
returned to the United
States, the land of his birth.
However, 156 years
after Mr Roil’s death, Mr
Carr’s erstwhile partner
earned somewhat tardy
recognition for his role as
an early Papanui settler.
In 2018, a new residential
development off Sawyers
Arms Rd was officially
named Henry Roil Ln.
The fun and supportive environment, with its
emphasis on enjoyment, ensures students feel
comfortable as they learn dance. Students in regular
dance classes benefit from increased confidence
and coordination, self-esteem and self-discipline.
Anna Lee School of Dance is one of
Canterbury’s premiere dance schools,
offering specialised classes in ballet, jazz,
contemporary and hip-hop. With studios
in Papanui, Ferrymead/Sumner, Halswell
and the Selwyn District (Ladbrooks
and Lincoln), we offer a unique blend
of a family focused studio with all the
benefits of a large, well-established
school – multiple exam/
grading opportunities, large
scale recitals at the beautiful
Isaac Theatre Royal, quality
teaching staff who really care
about their students. The
Papanui studio operates from
two purpose-built dance
studios in a modern building.
Anna Lee School of Dance
has a proven history of
students excelling with superb
exam, medal and competition
results. Dance classes are
tailored for preschoolers
through to advanced students,
catering for all levels of
commitment. There are classes
designed for those who wish
to dance for fun and fitness, as
well as those who are aiming
for a career in dance (we
have past students currently
dancing in companies,
professional shows and
full-time schools all around
the world!) The fun and
supportive environment, with
its emphasis on enjoyment
ensures students feel comfortable as they
learn dance. Students in regular dance
classes benefit from increased confidence

Cathedral Grammar Pre-School
located within the heart of the city
Our play based learning
approach supports your child
as they begin their exciting
journey as a lifelong learner.
Play, laughter and learning are essential
ingredients for a successful Pre-School
education. The crucial early years need to
be nurtured, shaped and cherished as your
child takes their first steps in education.
Cathedral Grammar Pre-School proudly
teaches the children of tomorrow, today.
At Cathedral Grammar Pre-School your
whole family is welcomed into the wider
embrace of the Grammar community
including whole school fun and functions,
services and support as well as smooth
transition to the Junior School and links to
the Prep School.
In Cathedral Grammar’s purpose built
Pre-School, taught by qualified teachers,
your child will discover by curiosity,
investigation and exploration. Our low
child/teacher ratios, ensure your child’s
quality individual and group learning.
Research states that play may be the
single most important things that humans
do. “Our play based learning approach
supports your child as they begin their
exciting journey as a lifelong learner” says
Principal Scott Thelning.
Your child will develop essential
foundations in literacy and numeracy. He
or she will enjoy the benefits of specialised
facilities, subjects and staff including Art,
Physical Education, Yoga and Chapel.
When children feel good about
themselves and their abilities, they are able
to take flight and explore, discover, take
risks and play, laugh and learn effectively
and successfully. “Self-esteem is at the core
of this development process” Thelning
says.
Being an inner city Pre-School gives
you a wonderfully easy opportunity to
engage in your child’s learning if you are
working in the CBD. Every opportunity
is taken to utilise our central city location
to extend our ‘campus’ from the Botanic
Gardens to the Canterbury Museum,
The Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o
Waiwhetu to the Christchurch Transitional
Cathedral, from Tūranga (Christchurch
central library) to the emergency services.

Cathedral Grammar School Bamford school
– Every Child, Every Day
2019 edition
The secret of getting ahead is getting
started and at The Cathedral Grammar
School that start is something
extraordinary. Our school is a place of
ambition alongside preparation. We
balance our enduring commitment
to tradition and our Christian values
with an energy to explore and create,
all amplified within small, focused
classrooms and a family centred
environment. Your child’s journey to
excellence begins here with a solid
foundation of academic success and a
well-rounded character.
Cathedral Grammar, with its attached
Pre-School, is a Year 1- Year 8 Primary
School, for both boys and girls. Small
maximum class sizes at every year
level ensures that our teachers build
strong, meaningful and productive
relationships with their students.
Principal Scott Thelning says that the
underlying promise to parents is that
the School will nurture, know and grow
every child, every day in a holistic
manner as they are prepared for life.
“Our student-centred philosophy, caring,
family focussed culture, wonderful
relationships, high expectations and vast
array of opportunities provide a fantastic
environment for all students to thrive.
Our high quality staff employ a variety
of teaching methods within structured
classrooms to provide a balance of
tradition and rigour, while being curious
and adventurous”.
Our school structure is unique among
New Zealand schools and designed to
ensure students have the opportunity to
make the most of their formative years. At
Cathedral Grammar, our students learn
in both co-educational and single-sex
classrooms at times when this best suits
their learning styles. In Pre-School and
the Junior School (Yr 1-3) students learn
in a co-educational environment, while
our Yr 4-8 students attend either our Girls’
School or Boys’ School. “This structure
provides the best of both worlds with
learning, teaching and social interactions
taking place across multiple settings”.
Year 7 opportunities for
girls
Wanting to be assured that your child is
prepared well for secondary school is a
concern for parents. Although the Year
7 level is full for boys in 2019, there are
some vacancies for girls still available.
The Intermediate Years at Cathedral
Grammar are specifically designed to
deliver the best possible preparation
for our girls who attend a variety of
schools across the city, says Head of
the Girl’s School, Brigit McCormack.
“We not only offer the girls a very strong
academic curriculum, we also offer
them a wide variety of opportunities
and the chance to transition into their
teenage years in a supportive, caring
and inclusive environment. Our unique
Mitre Programme for intermediate
students provides opportunities to
develop leadership potential, participate
in Service projects and develop skills
for personal growth and development.
We treasure individuality and strive for
our girls to be inclusive, courageous
with a strong sense of identity. The
girls flourish in our environment which
is based around a specialist teacher
timetable. They leave us as confident and
connected learners who are ready for
the challenges of secondary school and
beyond.”

and talk to either Scott (Principal) or
Brigit (Head of Girls’ School) please

Catholic Cathedral College Chisnallwood Intermediate
Catholic Cathedral College has just
celebrated 150 years of history on
its site next to the Cathedral of the
Blessed Sacrament. From the first
arrival of the Sisters of Our Lady of the
Missions in 1868, Catholic education
has been delivered to generations of
Christchurch families in this place.
Today Catholic Cathedral College
is a vibrant community of 450 boys
and girls from Year 7 to Year 13. In
the Marist tradition we focus on the
sense of family and the bonds that
this creates through our academic and
pastoral systems. Our vision statement
is: Guided to live by faith; with mana,
compassion, integrity, and a drive for
personal excellence.
As a Catholic Special Character
school, we aim to develop each
student’s relationship with Jesus, and
each student is supported to be the
best that he or she can be. Besides
excellent academic results each year,
we guide our students to make a
full contribution to their College and
communities through service, respect,
integrity and a strong sense of social
justice.
We celebrate our cultural diversity
whilst acknowledging the important
place of Tangata Whenua and the
obligations we have under the Treaty
of Waitangi in our bicultural society.
Every student from Year 11 is mentored
to ensure he or she is on the most
appropriate academic or vocational
pathway. Our goal is that each
individual will graduate as a young
adult who is confident in their ability,
has respect for themselves and others
and with the knowledge that they have
a faithful relationship with Jesus.
Established as a Junior High School,
Chisnallwood is specifically designed to
meet the needs of students in their preadolescent
years. This design has been
carefully developed over many years
and is based on the best that has been
seen in New Zealand and Internationally.

opening doorways to opportunities that
will prepare you fully for secondary and
beyond. A well-balanced mixture of
specialist and home room teaching in
this highly resourced environment will
capture your interest and attention in a
manner that will ensure your success.
Recognised as a leader in its field,
Chisnallwood is nationally renowned
for its achievements particularly in the
areas of music, the arts, sport and all
academic endeavours. This success
is brought about by the quality of
the resources we have and the

dedicated teaching staff.

Starting
a new
school
Whether you have a new entrant, you have moved to a new area or have
children starting at an intermediate or secondary school for the first time,
the feeling of new beginnings can be daunting.
This can be a stressful time for both parents and children alike, so it’s
important that the lines of communication are open so that children can
express their emotions at this time.
If your child is at primary school it’s a good idea to take part in some of
the school drop offs and pick-ups if possible. This means you get to meet
other parents and also allows you to organise all important play dates
that will soon see your child forming new relationships which will settle
them quicker.
Joining sports teams or different organisations within the community
will also help your child meet other children their own age with similar
interests. Make sure you are communicating with your children about the
exciting new possibilities that a new school may bring – new friends, new
teachers and new routines. Making sure they know they can talk with you
about any concerns often gives them peace of mind.

Making the right
impression
Small school has a big
impact
At Hagley we encourage our students to
be aware of their identities, or what they
look like to others.
What our students wear says a lot
about them and of course a lot about
Hagley. For us, it’s simply saying “be
yourself”. Wearing what they like is one
component in establishing whom they
are and also in knowing that they’re in a
school that accepts them for that.
We also encourage our students to
think about what they look like in the
digital world too. John Parsons, a leading
expert on cyber-safety, advises young
people that the message given by
their online appearance should be a
really positive one. Their online identity
should give a “chin up, shoulders back”
message about them. We reinforce that
message and that our students should
actively manage their online reputations.
A negative digital footprint that others
might look at and form a judgement
from is not how they want to appear.
Whatever they are applying for, people
will want to know more about them
and they’ll often find that out online.
We encourage our students to put
on their “best clothes” in the digital
world so that they build themselves an
identity asset online, an identity that
shows a self-confident person. It’s the
persona that they would like to put
forward if they were in fact physically
present in the room with that person
who was checking them out online and
considering them for that scholarship,
job, or whatever they were hoping to be
selected for.
Whatever their plans, we want our
students to value their identities in all
its senses. In many respects, it’s one the
most important assets they have.

Ao o Horomaka. Warm greetings to the
Hornby High School community.
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.
In our new buildings some of the best
pedagogy, the most modern curriculum,
is developing as students and staff
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. Please do join us and be
a part of the extraordinary adventures of
our rangatahi in 2019.

Papanui High School -
Preparing students for
their future
School preparation
“Our aim is simple... to provide the
best education possible for every
student”
Giving students the opportunity
to study from an innovative and
broad curriculum is critical to
providing each student a pathway
that meets their individual needs.
We allow for a greater range
and flexibility in subject choice
including the utilization of the
secondary/tertiary interface.
This reinforces the philosophy
underpinning personalised
learning and is strongly supported
by understanding our students’
interests, passions, talents, and
ultimately their career aspirations.
We understand that for effective
learning to take place, it has
to be implemented in such a
way that students will be highly
engaged. The school does this
in a ‘forward thinking’ way by
creating learning environments
that allow our students to see
value in what they do and achieve.
Papanui “PRIDE” is what we
represent and we demonstrate
this by having young adults leave
our school as confident learners
who have gained the appropriate
qualifications and social skills
to become valued contributing
members of society.
All that we do here is reinforced
by positive relationships, an ethos
of caring, cultural responsiveness,
inclusion, and high expectations
– what we call “Our Full service
Model”. The school highly values
the connectedness of curricular
and co-curricular learning. We have
a philosophical understanding that
the holistic development of the
student is critical to their individual
success.
The school has worked hard to
consolidate recent initiatives to
ensure sustained and continuous
improvement. You are invited to
view our website, school charter,
ERO report, and/or contact the
school for more information.

New timetables and routines are
best set in place in the couple of
weeks leading up introduce earlier
bedtimes and gradually wake the
kids earlier each morning to ease
them back into a healthy sleep

Serving meals at home which
are in line with what the school
timetable dictates is also a good
way to get your kids back into the
rituals schools demand and helps
accustom the little ones adapt
before the school year begins.

Device to prevent
snoring
Check out the End of Holidays Party at Jellie Park Recreation and Sports
Centre, 295 Ilam Rd, Burnside, on Saturday, noon-3pm. Celebrate the end
of the school holidays with buskers, a wipeout machine, inflatables in the
pool, music and a free sausage sizzle.
Why put up with broken sleep, when
help is at hand with Snorex, an appliance
that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and
dry and raw throats.
Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth
for comfort, and a follow up service is
provided.
Denise Lim has been involved with
Snores for 22 years
and has had a 98%
success rate with
people using the
appliance. Snoring
can be a health
hazard, causing
sleep apnoea, where
the person actually
stops breathing for
short periods.
It can cause
short-term memory
loss, tiredness and
contribute to high
blood pressure.
The Snorex
device does not feel
restrictive, is noninvasive
and carries
a money-back guarantee.
Many people are referred by ear, nose
and throat specialists, however, anyone can
phone for an appointment.
For an information pack or to discuss
the Snorex further, phone Denise Lim on

New research on Gingko
Biloba excites researchers!
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
tablet contains a highly concentrated
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.
50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic
clinical dose without having to take a large
amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba
products on the market, and tested by a
major medical journal, only TEBONIN
passed all five of the test requirements.
Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements
and the rest didn’t pass more than three
out of five requirements. TEBONIN is
the only Gingko biloba extract shown
to activated all areas of the brain and is
considered the gold standard in Gingko.
TEBONIN has been trusted by millions
of consumers worldwide for over 30
years with more than 8,000,000 tablets
consumed each day.
