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.

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 

monique.maynard@ 


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

Retirement village residents still fighting for bus stop 

•From page 1 

However, he said nothing had 

been confirmed yet. 

He said one of his main 

concerns with the delay was 

some residents had reached 

an age where driving was 

difficult. 

In spite of this, Mr Tate 

Fake cow gets 

council mooving 

in Bishopdale 


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.

In Brief 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

QE II DRIVE LANES 

Two new lanes on QE II Drive 

have been opened to increase 

traffic flow while the rest of the 

Northern Corridor project is 

completed. There is a reduced 

speed limit of 50km/h and 

30km/h along some sections of 

QE II Drive. 

FOOTPATH REPAIRS 

Damaged footpaths in Shirley 

and Richmond will continue to 

be repaired. Work will begin to 

fix Randall St this month and 

will continue through April and 

May. In addition to this, Petrie St 

is expected to be reconstructed 

and sealed by late next month. 

JELLIE PARK ATTRACTION 

A new interactive play area 

has been installed at Jellie Park 

Recreation and Sports Centre. 

The area contains fountains and 

water guns for pool-users to 

enjoy while they cool down over 

summer. 

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 

right on our doorstep. I’ve been out 

and about meeting with people and 

attending our community events.

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.”

Jack of all trades honoured 


• 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.

HUNTER 

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 


• 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 


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 


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.

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

HUNTER 

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 

residents 

want the 

oak trees on 

their street 

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.

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

Cathedral Grammar School Bamford school 

– Every Child, Every Day 


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.” 

If you would like to visit the School 

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. 

By enrolling at this school you are 

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 

commitment of the highly trained and 

dedicated teaching staff. 

Our values of Respect, Relationships, 

Responsibilities and Resilience (Our 

4Rs) enable our students to fulfill 

our motto which is to challenge the 

margins of time and explore what is 

beyond.

Our school environment is one 

where students are safe and have 

the confidence to take risks with their

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. 

Hornby High School 

Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo 

e lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa atu. Namaste. 

Kumusta. Haere mai ki Te Kura Huruhuru 

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.

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 

377 4318 or check out the website

The tree of LIFE 

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.

Chris Kilham, Dilo is a powerful 

skin regenerator, as it is one of 

the most effective agents in 

promoting the regeneration 

and formation of new skin 

tissue. It is super-absorbing and 

can penetrate all three layers of 

the skin, offering exceptional 

cell hydration and regeneration. 

Dilo contains powerful 

antibacterial, antioxidant and 

anti-inflammatory properties 

which promotes the growth of 

healthy and glowing skin. 

Organic Argan oil (or liquid 

gold) is the next amazing 

oil that is extremely rich in 

beneficial nutrients, fatty acids 

and vitamin E. It gives the 

skin a youthful glow restores 

elasticity and leaves the skin 

feeling plumper and softer.
