SPLISH SPLASH!<br />
As the temperatures soared to<br />
28 deg C last week, swimming<br />
pools were an ideal spot to<br />
cool down. One-year-old Jae<br />
Koia-Mills, of Ilam, soaked up<br />
the cool water at Jellie Park<br />
Recreation and Sports Centre<br />
on Thursday.<br />

Call to<br />
thwart<br />
drivers<br />
taking<br />
short cuts<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
RESIDENTS growing tired of<br />
short cut-takers have petitioned<br />
the city council to close off their<br />
street.<br />
Konini St residents submitted<br />
a 38-signature petition to the<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board, calling to<br />
restrict access to their street from<br />
the busy Riccarton Rd.<br />
Konini St is off Riccarton Rd,<br />
opposite Shand Crescent Reserve.<br />
A representative for the residents,<br />
Annette Pendergast says<br />
the short cut-taking traffic was<br />
“horrendous.”<br />
She said because of changes to<br />
traffic patterns since the February<br />
22, 2011, earthquake, the street<br />
has become dangerous.<br />
“Post earthquakes, traffic directions<br />
changed. Once upon a time<br />
traffic headed into the CBD,” Mrs<br />
Pendergast said.<br />
“That Clyde Rd area became<br />
really congested, we found that a<br />
lot of traffic was cutting through<br />
Konini St [to access Clyde Rd].”<br />

What an exciting year we had in 2018,<br />
<strong>2019</strong> looks to be even better as we strive<br />

their learning.<br />
During an interview with a new parent<br />
late in 2018, he said ‘You are proud<br />
of this school, aren’t you’, to which I<br />
answered ‘yes we are’. He came right<br />
back at me and said ‘When I dropped<br />
off our enrolment forms, I could see it<br />
in your kids.’ And he is so right. There is<br />
much to be proud of at Te Huruhuru Ao<br />

In our new buildings some of the best<br />
pedagogy, the most modern curriculum,<br />
is developing as students and staff<br />
job, or whatever they were hoping to be<br />
selected for.<br />
Whatever their plans, we want our<br />
students to value their identities in all<br />
its senses. In many respects, it’s one the<br />
most important assets they have.<br />
explore new, more exciting, and more<br />
engaging, ways to learn together. All<br />
of this exciting learning is magnified<br />
by our use of Chromebooks. The end<br />
result of this is that, for example, writing<br />
achievement is accelerated at twice the<br />
average for children across the country,<br />
one of many achievements of which we<br />
are very proud. We ask that all children<br />
come to Hornby High School with a<br />
serviceable Chromebook.<br />
On top of all that, music, arts, sport and<br />
culture are flourishing in an environment<br />
in which every student is encouraged<br />
to be her or his best. This approach lies<br />
at the heart of our development of the<br />
many gifts and talents that every child<br />
has.<br />
And all of that takes place on the solid<br />
foundation that is our school values:<br />
Commitment, Achievement, Resilience,<br />
and Respect.<br />

going to have. Please do join us and be<br />

Lack of maintenance slammed<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
IF CARMEN RD was in<br />
Fendalton, this bit of weed would<br />
be mowed.<br />
That is the view of Greater<br />
Hornby Residents’ Association<br />
member Mark Peters — who<br />
slammed the lack of maintenance<br />
on the State Highway from the<br />
airport.<br />
The weeds<br />

The land<br />

month told <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> they<br />
would contact the leaseholder<br />
about the issue.<br />
But in spite of their comment<br />
nothing has been done about the<br />
issue, Mr Peters said.<br />
He criticised what he perceived<br />
– that Hornby was often “overlooked”<br />
by decision-makers.<br />
“If it was in Fendalton, my goodness<br />
they would pay attention to it<br />
real quick,” Mr Peters said.<br />
Residents’ association chairman<br />
Marc Duff said the road is a gateway<br />
to the South Island’s major<br />
tourist destinations.<br />
NEGLECT: Greater Hornby Residents’ Association member Mark Peters says if this stretch of<br />
road was in Fendalton, it would be a lot tidier.<br />

“It reflects poorly on the suburb<br />
and it’s time that organisations<br />

Mr Peters also highlighted a<br />
potential fire risk due to sparks<br />
from the trains. In November, a<br />
Dunedin-bound train caused a<br />
scrub fire near Templeton.<br />
“Let’s not have that happen in<br />

Grass fire<br />
flares up<br />
in Hornby<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
FIRE CREWS were called to a<br />
vegetation fire at an industrial<br />
area in Hornby last week.<br />
Fire and Emergency spokesman<br />
Andrew Norris said firefighters<br />
attended the grass fire<br />
outside Streamline Freight at<br />
Waterloo Rd at about 4.50pm,<br />
Wednesday.<br />
It was extinguished by one<br />
fire truck, but crews were<br />
present for about 40 minutes,<br />
he said.<br />
The cause of the fire is not<br />
known, Mr Norris said.<br />
Fire investigator Wayne<br />
Hamilton said it was standard<br />
practice to make sure the hot<br />
spots were cooled down in<br />
vegetation fires, which was<br />
why crews were out for 40<br />
minutes.<br />
Meanwhile, Fire and<br />
Emergency was called for a<br />
precautionary measure last<br />
Tuesday at the request of<br />
Meridian Energy, after power<br />
lines came down on Old West<br />
Coast Rd, Yaldhurst.<br />
The area was isolated until<br />
Orion arrived and there were<br />
no power outages.<br />
•From page 1<br />
Mrs Pendergast lived at Konini<br />
St for 12 years and was familiar<br />
with her former neighbours’<br />
concerns.<br />
She now lives at nearby<br />
Wharenui Rd.<br />
“I stay in touch with my old<br />
neighbours. When I moved there<br />
<strong>15</strong> years ago it was beautiful with<br />
big wide grass berms and it was a<br />
lovely quiet street.”<br />
Continuous roadworks, lack<br />
of maintenance and increased<br />
traffic has changed that, Mrs<br />
Pendergast said.<br />
Last year, roadworks temporarily<br />
blocked the direct route from<br />
Konini St to Clyde Rd for about<br />
six months and it made a “real<br />
difference” to residents who were<br />
frustrated about drivers taking<br />
short cuts, she said.<br />
But after the road reopened<br />
before Christmas, the residents’<br />
temporary relief from traffic<br />
ended, she said.<br />
City council transport operations<br />
manager Steffan Thomas<br />
said council staff are looking at<br />
the issue.<br />
“Staff are looking to report<br />
back to the [Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton] Community Board by<br />
the end of April,” he said.<br />
“This would only be to advise<br />
on the most appropriate option<br />
for Konini St as, at this stage,<br />
there is no funding allocated to<br />
implementing any changes,” Mr<br />
Thomas said.<br />

Nga Puna Wai road a no-goer<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
AIDANFIELD residents will<br />
continue to have to put up with<br />
cars going through their streets<br />
to reach the Nga Puna Wai<br />
sports facility.<br />
Euphrasie Drive resident<br />
Wayne Keen is calling on the<br />
city council to put in a 100m<br />
stretch of road to stop cars<br />
travelling through his “narrow”<br />
street to access the sports hub.<br />
Mr Keen says if a road was<br />
built to connect McMahon and<br />
Augustine Drives, cars travelling<br />
from the Aidanfield Drive<br />
overbridge would not have to go<br />
through the narrower streets in<br />
Aidanfield.<br />
It would also make the journey<br />
faster, he said.<br />
But the city council says it has<br />
no plans to install a permanent<br />
link for the two roads.<br />
Mr Keen said McMahon and<br />
Augustine Drives had parking<br />
bays, which meant greater room<br />
to cater for the increased traffic<br />
since the sports facility opened<br />
last year.<br />
Euphrasie Drive was not as<br />
wide, he said.<br />
City council manager capital<br />
delivery Darren Moses said there<br />
is currently a truck access between<br />
McMahon and Augustine<br />
Drives, but it only for<br />
heavy trucks on a “case-by-case<br />
basis.”<br />
“For major events, Nga Puna<br />
Wai will seek one off permission<br />

help spread traffic,” he said.<br />
Mr Keen said the city council<br />
should seal the truck access.<br />
“Why don’t you [council] just<br />
make it easier for people? It just<br />
beggars belief.”<br />
“This is the formed [truck access]<br />
they had to form to build<br />
the place,” he said.<br />
Mr Keen said planners overlooked<br />
the impact from traffic<br />
travelling from the Aidanfield<br />
Drive overbridge.<br />
“To build everything down the<br />
Halswell Rd end of Augustine<br />
Drive was short-sighted,” he<br />
said.<br />
“Does everybody come from<br />
that side of the city? No. So<br />
guess what? The traffic is going<br />
down Wigram Rd, coming up<br />
the Aidanfield Drive overbridge<br />
right through and they turn on<br />

WORK HAS started on a new<br />
cycleway and infrastructure<br />
upgrades in Halswell and Hoon<br />
Hay.<br />
The city council project will<br />
take place on Sparks Rd, between<br />
Victors and Hendersons Rds.<br />
Work started last week.<br />
Construction of the water main<br />
will take several months, the city<br />
council said.<br />
Contractors from Fulton Hogan<br />
will first trench the intersection,<br />
place in the water pipes and then<br />
backfill the area.<br />
The new cycleway – part of the<br />
Quarryman’s Trail route – will<br />
also take several months to complete.<br />
Work on both the cycleway and<br />
water main is expected to finish<br />
by the end of July and work will<br />
be carried out between 7am and<br />
7pm every day.<br />
Lane shifts and shoulder<br />
closures will be in place while<br />
the work is being carried out and<br />
residents will have access to their<br />
properties at all times, the city<br />
council said.<br />
Last year, the city council<br />
completed work on the first<br />

Multi-skilled<br />
AGELESS: Barry Gardiner is training for the 47km Motatapu mountain bike race. He will be the<br />
oldest competitor at 81.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
IN THE sporting realm there’s<br />
not much that Barry Gardiner<br />
hasn’t done.<br />
The Avonhead 81-year-old<br />
who celebrated his birthday last<br />
week was recognised for his<br />
achievements by being named<br />
in the New Year Honours List as<br />
a member of the New Zealand<br />
Order of Merit.<br />
Rather than sitting back and<br />
relaxing on the back of the nod,<br />
Gardiner is doing what he does<br />
best. He’s played 10 rounds of<br />
golf in the last 12 days, is swimming<br />
and playing squash regularly,<br />
and is currently riding the<br />
bike most days as he trains for<br />
the 47km Motatapu mountain<br />
bike race from Wanaka to Arrowtown<br />
in March.<br />
“It’s quite a tough course<br />
but I go in it most years because<br />
I get the prize for the oldest<br />
finisher which is a bottle of<br />
wine . . . it’s good stuff as well,<br />
Central Otago pinot noir,” said<br />
Gardiner.<br />
You could say Gardiner<br />
has peaked late. In recent<br />
times he’s won squash world<br />
titles in the over 50, 60 and 70<br />
categories.<br />
In his younger days he was one<br />
of the South Island’s top rugby<br />
league and union players until a<br />
serious knee injury in 1965 while<br />
playing for the Hanan Shield<br />
team (a mid-Canterbury, South<br />
Canterbury and North Otago<br />
combined team) against the<br />
Springboks.<br />
Gardiner holds a unique record<br />
of having played four different<br />
positions against France in<br />
two different codes in the space<br />
of a year.<br />
In 1960 he played for the South<br />
Island in a rugby league match<br />
against the French. He started in<br />
the forwards. However, 20min<br />
into the game the South Island<br />
halfback was injured. With no<br />
replacements in those days he<br />
played the rest of the match at<br />
halfback.<br />
The following year he represented<br />
South Canterbury<br />
against France. After starting at<br />
flanker he finished the match at<br />
first five-eighths due to another<br />
injury.<br />
Gardiner never played<br />
internationally in either code.<br />
However, he came as close as<br />
you possibly can in 1958 when<br />
he was selected as the emergency<br />
forward for the Kiwis ahead of a<br />
test against Great Britain.

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
sportsman recognised with honour<br />
“There was a guy by the name<br />
of Jack Jones who was the prop<br />
selected from Canterbury and<br />
he ended up breaking his finger.<br />
When they found out he couldn’t<br />
play we only had six forwards<br />
and I was included . . . on the<br />
Friday night they announced the<br />
team and they bought in a big<br />
prop from Auckland so everyone<br />
got dropped back one and I<br />
ended up being the emergency,<br />
so I missed out.”<br />
Before moving to Timaru,<br />
Gardiner was part of a very<br />
successful West Coast league<br />
team.<br />
“In 1960 we played Auckland<br />
in Auckland and beat them<br />
. . . there was probably about<br />
11 or 12 coasters in the South<br />
Island team that same year and<br />
beat the North Island team in<br />
Greymouth,” said Gardiner.<br />
“We used to beat Canterbury<br />
regularly. It was a good era for<br />
West Coast rugby league. If you<br />
look at where it is on the coast<br />
now it’s a shame. They’ve lost<br />
all their big miners and timber<br />
people which was their strike<br />
force for rugby league.”<br />
Gardiner also played cricket<br />
for the West Coast as a wicketkeeper,<br />
including an unsuccessful<br />
Hawke Cup challenge against<br />
Nelson.<br />
FAMILY SUCCESS: In 2016, Gardiner won the 75-plus national squash title, his son-in-law Grant<br />
Craig (left) won the 50-plus title and son Dave Gardiner (right) won the 40-plus title. Two weeks<br />
earlier his granddaughter Megan Craig won the NZ open women’s title.<br />
While living in the West Coast<br />
he also won the shot put title at<br />
the Canterbury junior athletics<br />
championships in dramatic<br />
fashion.<br />
The West Coast athletes<br />
travelled by bus on Friday for the<br />
Saturday event. However, a storm<br />
closed roads to Christchurch<br />
meaning the bus didn’t arrive at<br />
Lancaster Park until the event<br />
was well under way.<br />
“We ran across to the shot<br />
put and it had just finished. The<br />
official said: ‘Look I’m sorry but<br />
you’re too late we’ve just finished<br />
it.’ We explained the situation<br />
and he said you can have one<br />
throw and it’s going to have to be<br />
right now. I was still in my street<br />
clothes, I picked it up did my best<br />
Parry O’Brien technique. It flew<br />
out of my hand and I ended up<br />
winning it.”<br />
In terms of the many<br />
highlights Gardiner holds a<br />
world over-50 squash title in 1991<br />
as his greatest achievement.<br />
“I never knew I had that in me.”<br />
The squash court is also<br />
where Gardiner’s most hilarious<br />
sporting moment occurred.<br />
“I was warming for my match<br />
and was in my track pants on. I<br />
went off to take my track pants<br />
off, came back on the court<br />
started the game and the crowd<br />
starting laughing, I looked<br />
down to see I was standing there<br />
in my undies. I had forgot to put<br />
on my shorts under my track<br />
pants.”<br />
Off the field Gardiner has been<br />
involved as an administrator<br />
at club, district, national and<br />
international levels. He has<br />
held voluntary committee<br />
membership positions with<br />
squash clubs for 51 years.<br />

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

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

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> reported in<br />

the oak trees and wanted them<br />
removed.<br />
THe residents presented a<br />

trees to be removed.<br />
Residents told the community<br />
board that leaves from the trees<br />
had been set on fire, the trees<br />
caused uneven footpaths and they<br />
feared the oaks could topple in<br />
high wind.<br />
THe board members met with<br />
the residents in October to inspect<br />
the area before making a decision.<br />
THe trees are between 8.1m<br />

was built.<br />

Running reds: ‘It’s just not worth it’<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
RED LIGHT-runners, like the<br />
person driving this campervan,<br />
are putting other motorists lives<br />
at risk.<br />
Last Tuesday afternoon the<br />
vehicle ran a red light at the busy<br />
Curletts Rd and Main South Rd<br />
intersection in Upper Riccarton.<br />
The<br />
Christchurch<br />
Transport<br />
Operations<br />
Centre has<br />
just released<br />
its annual data<br />
on red lightrunners<br />
at city<br />
Glen Koorey<br />
intersections,<br />
which was collected<br />
over 24<br />
hours on November 29.<br />
The intersection of Curletts and<br />
Main South Rds was the worst,<br />
with 861 motorists running red<br />
lights during that period.<br />
That equates to nearly 36 every<br />
hour. More than 500 of the red<br />
light-runners were from the<br />
Curletts Rd north approach.<br />
There were 10 crossing crashes<br />
at the intersection between 2012<br />
and 2016, including one fatal in<br />
2011.<br />
Canterbury road policing<br />
manager Inspector Ash Tabb said<br />
red light-running put drivers,<br />
passengers and other road users<br />
at risk.<br />
“Our staff are working on our<br />
roads every day trying to stop<br />
risky behaviour, such as people<br />
running red lights,” he said.<br />
He said too many drivers enter<br />
intersections on orange lights.<br />
“These often change to red<br />
while the driver is still in the intersection,<br />
which creates unnecessary<br />
risk,” said Inspector Tabb.<br />
“What people need to remember<br />
is, it’s just not worth it. You’ve<br />
got to ask yourself; is it worth<br />
crashing and risking injury – or<br />
worse – just to get across an<br />
intersection without having to<br />
wait for another light change? You<br />
could seriously hurt yourself, or<br />
somebody else.”<br />
Second on the red light-running<br />
list, and also last year’s highest,<br />
was Colombo St and Moorhouse<br />
Ave with 806 runners. Last year it<br />
had 666.<br />
The intersection also has the<br />
second highest number of recorded<br />
crashes with six between<br />
2012 and 2016. Buckleys Rd and<br />
Russell St in Linwood was third,<br />
with 649 runners recorded.<br />
At the city’s <strong>15</strong> worst intersections,<br />
8170 motorists were<br />
detected running red lights.<br />
That was up from 7224 last year<br />
and 6580 in 2016.<br />
City council operations manager<br />
transport Steffan Thomas<br />
said the city council is concerned<br />
about the number of red lightrunners.<br />
“At present, the trial red light<br />
camera is collecting statistical<br />
information, including video and<br />
fixed images of speeding and red<br />
light-running incidents,” he said.<br />
The camera is at the intersection<br />
of Bealey Ave and Madras St.<br />
“Police have access to the data<br />
collected from the red light-running<br />
camera so that they may use<br />
it to help inform any enforcement<br />
strategies.”<br />
ViaStrada senior traffic engineer<br />
Glen Koorey said there are a<br />
“myriad” of reasons why red lightrunning<br />
occurs.<br />
“It can be deliberate or it can be<br />
innocent, people might not notice<br />
the light,” he said.<br />
“Sometimes even just a change<br />
in traffic volume pressure at a<br />
particular time of the day . . .<br />
Curletts is busy at the best of<br />
times.”<br />
The worst intersections<br />
for red light-runners:<br />
•Curletts Rd/Main<br />
South Rd – 861<br />
•Moorhouse Ave/<br />
Colombo St – 806<br />
•Buckleys Rd/Russell<br />

Subdivision stoush heats up<br />
Resident<br />
accused of<br />
stifling growth<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
A RESIDENT caught up in a<br />
Yaldhurst subdivision battle<br />
has accused another local of<br />
holding back growth.<br />
Last month, <strong>Western</strong><br />
<strong>News</strong> reported Colin Stokes’<br />
efforts to stop the naming of<br />
a road in the<br />
Yaldhurst<br />
Park subdivision.<br />
Mr<br />
Stokes said<br />
naming the<br />
road would<br />
legitimise<br />
Colin Stokes<br />
it – and he<br />
believed it<br />
did not have<br />
the required stormwater provisions.<br />
Following the article, another<br />
Yaldhurst resident, Douglas<br />
Cameron, contacted <strong>Western</strong><br />
<strong>News</strong>, saying Mr Stokes was<br />
stifling growth in the area.<br />
“Eight years in contesting<br />
issues, he [Mr Stokes] has been<br />
putting up all sorts of barriers,<br />
preventing the roading from<br />
03 349 5050<br />
ROAD BLOCK: Colin Stokes has been accused of holding up the development of Rannoch<br />
Drive, which would link two Yaldhurst subdivisions.<br />
going through,” Mr Cameron<br />
said.<br />
Allowing the roads to go<br />
ahead would mean another<br />
step forward in connecting the<br />
two subdivisions, Mr Cameron<br />
said.<br />
“We were promised many<br />
years ago to have roading<br />
access out through Rannoch<br />
Drive into the new [Yaldhurst<br />
Park] subdivision.”<br />
Mr Stokes denied he was<br />
holding up the development.<br />
“That’s not the case at all.<br />
We’ve never stopped the<br />
subdivision from going ahead,”<br />
Mr Stokes said.<br />
He said he has been<br />
acting to protect his interests<br />
– he wants to be included in<br />
the Yaldhurst Park subdivision<br />
via a road link which is yet to<br />
happen.<br />
Mr Stokes agreed Mr<br />
Cameron should vent his<br />
SAME<br />
DAY<br />
RELINES<br />
frustration over the issue, but<br />
not at him.<br />
Mr Stokes said the<br />
frustration should be directed<br />
at the roading authorities, city<br />
council and the New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency.<br />
“If Mr Cameron wants<br />
details to assist him in<br />
his endeavours to force<br />
the construction of this<br />
connection, I am only too<br />
happy to help,” he said.<br />

A NEW interactive water<br />
pad is making a big splash<br />
with families at Jellie Park<br />

City council head of<br />

“The splash fountain play<br />
area is one of the coolest<br />
spots to lap-up the summer<br />
scene, following on from<br />
the success of similar<br />
facilities in Scarborough<br />
Park and New Brighton,”<br />
he said.<br />
“The pads encourage<br />
youngsters to interact and<br />
stay active as they splash<br />
and keep cool.’’<br />
Mr Cox said new<br />
facilities and higher<br />
temperatures have drawn<br />
thousands of people to<br />
outdoor pools across the<br />

kids visiting the aquatic centre.<br />

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

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

Catholic Cathedral College Chisnallwood Intermediate<br />
Catholic Cathedral College has just<br />
celebrated <strong>15</strong>0 years of history on<br />
its site next to the Cathedral of the<br />
Blessed Sacrament. From the first<br />
arrival of the Sisters of Our Lady of the<br />
Missions in 1868, Catholic education<br />
has been delivered to generations of<br />
Christchurch families in this place.<br />
Today Catholic Cathedral College<br />
is a vibrant community of 450 boys<br />
and girls from Year 7 to Year 13. In<br />
the Marist tradition we focus on the<br />
sense of family and the bonds that<br />
this creates through our academic and<br />
pastoral systems. Our vision statement<br />
is: Guided to live by faith; with mana,<br />
compassion, integrity, and a drive for<br />
personal excellence.<br />
As a Catholic Special Character<br />
school, we aim to develop each<br />
student’s relationship with Jesus, and<br />
each student is supported to be the<br />
best that he or she can be. Besides<br />
excellent academic results each year,<br />
we guide our students to make a<br />
full contribution to their College and<br />
communities through service, respect,<br />
integrity and a strong sense of social<br />
justice.<br />
We celebrate our cultural diversity<br />
whilst acknowledging the important<br />
place of Tangata Whenua and the<br />
obligations we have under the Treaty<br />
of Waitangi in our bicultural society.<br />
Every student from Year 11 is mentored<br />
to ensure he or she is on the most<br />
appropriate academic or vocational<br />
pathway. Our goal is that each<br />
individual will graduate as a young<br />
adult who is confident in their ability,<br />
has respect for themselves and others<br />
and with the knowledge that they have<br />
a faithful relationship with Jesus.<br />
Established as a Junior High School,<br />
Chisnallwood is specifically designed to<br />
meet the needs of students in their preadolescent<br />
years. This design has been<br />

specialist and home room teaching in<br />

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

Making the right<br />
impression<br />
Small school has a big<br />
impact<br />
At Hagley we encourage our students to<br />
be aware of their identities, or what they<br />
look like to others.<br />
What our students wear says a lot<br />
about them and of course a lot about<br />
Hagley. For us, it’s simply saying “be<br />
yourself”. Wearing what they like is one<br />
component in establishing whom they<br />
are and also in knowing that they’re in a<br />
school that accepts them for that.<br />
We also encourage our students to<br />
think about what they look like in the<br />
digital world too. John Parsons, a leading<br />
expert on cyber-safety, advises young<br />
people that the message given by<br />
their online appearance should be a<br />
really positive one. Their online identity<br />
should give a “chin up, shoulders back”<br />
message about them. We reinforce that<br />
message and that our students should<br />
actively manage their online reputations.<br />
A negative digital footprint that others<br />
might look at and form a judgement<br />
from is not how they want to appear.<br />
Whatever they are applying for, people<br />
will want to know more about them<br />
and they’ll often find that out online.<br />
We encourage our students to put<br />
on their “best clothes” in the digital<br />
world so that they build themselves an<br />
identity asset online, an identity that<br />
shows a self-confident person. It’s the<br />
persona that they would like to put<br />
forward if they were in fact physically<br />
present in the room with that person<br />
who was checking them out online and<br />
considering them for that scholarship,<br />
job, or whatever they were hoping to be<br />
selected for.<br />
Whatever their plans, we want our<br />
students to value their identities in all<br />
its senses. In many respects, it’s one the<br />
most important assets they have.<br />
Hornby High School<br />
Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo<br />
e lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa atu. Namaste.<br />
Kumusta. Haere mai ki Te Kura Huruhuru<br />
Ao o Horomaka. Warm greetings to the<br />
Hornby High School community.<br />
What an exciting year we had in 2018,<br />
<strong>2019</strong> looks to be even better as we strive<br />
to get ever closer to our vision as ‘a<br />
centre of creative excellence’.<br />
Having occupied the first of our new<br />
buildings, we watch with excitement as<br />
stage two of our rebuild takes place,<br />
giving us some of the best secondary<br />
school buildings in the country at the<br />
moment.<br />
The spaces encourage all the best<br />
learning habits, and every day we see<br />
our amazing students, our beautiful<br />
rangatahi, engaged with and enjoying<br />
their learning.<br />
During an interview with a new parent<br />
late in 2018, he said ‘You are proud<br />
of this school, aren’t you’, to which I<br />
answered ‘yes we are’. He came right<br />
back at me and said ‘When I dropped<br />
off our enrolment forms, I could see it<br />
in your kids.’ And he is so right. There is<br />
much to be proud of at Te Huruhuru Ao<br />
o Horomaka Hornby High School.<br />
In our new buildings some of the best<br />
pedagogy, the most modern curriculum,<br />
is developing as students and staff<br />
explore new, more exciting, and more<br />
engaging, ways to learn together. All<br />
of this exciting learning is magnified<br />
by our use of Chromebooks. The end<br />
result of this is that, for example, writing<br />
achievement is accelerated at twice the<br />
average for children across the country,<br />
one of many achievements of which we<br />
are very proud. We ask that all children<br />
come to Hornby High School with a<br />
serviceable Chromebook.<br />
On top of all that, music, arts, sport and<br />

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

Villa Maria College is a state integrated Catholic<br />
secondary school for girls in Years 7 – 13. The College<br />
was opened by the Sisters of Mercy in 1918 and<br />

of our College, and there is an emphasis on service<br />
to others and the community. Girls are educated in<br />
Catholic teachings, and this Catholic character is<br />
evident throughout the College.<br />
Our Mission is to: “Empower each young woman<br />
to determine her potential, live Gospel values,<br />
confidently embrace life-long learning and as a Mercy<br />
woman be inspired to make a difference”.<br />
The education Villa Maria College offers is of the<br />
highest quality, and we are proud of our excellent<br />
academic results. Girls are encouraged to stretch<br />
themselves and work towards individual goals,<br />
so they fulfil their potential. Our strong academic<br />

Why put up with broken sleep, when<br />
help is at hand with Snorex, an appliance<br />
that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and<br />
dry and raw throats.<br />
Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth<br />
for comfort, and a follow up service is<br />
provided.<br />
Denise Lim has been involved with<br />
Snores for 22 years<br />
and has had a 98%<br />
success rate with<br />
people using the<br />
appliance. Snoring<br />
can be a health<br />
hazard, causing<br />
sleep apnoea, where<br />
the person actually<br />
stops breathing for<br />
short periods.<br />
It can cause<br />
short-term memory<br />
loss, tiredness and<br />
contribute to high<br />
blood pressure.<br />
The Snorex<br />
device does not feel<br />
restrictive, is noninvasive<br />

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

Ultimate beauty oil?<br />
Are you looking for a beauty oil that<br />
contains a blend of some of the most<br />
effective oils available and that these oils are<br />
just 100% pure and natural with no fillers<br />
or cheap additives?<br />
Our new ULTIMATE BEAUTY OIL<br />
BLEND contains a perfect combination of<br />
three of the best natural healing and skin<br />
restoration oils available to give your skin<br />
what it needs!<br />
The first oil is the remarkable Organic<br />
Dilo. One of the best kept secrets of the<br />
Pacific Islands Dilo oil may however be the<br />
number one natural beauty oil available.<br />
According to ethnobotanist<br />
Chris Kilham, Dilo is a powerful<br />
skin regenerator, as it is one of<br />
the most effective agents in<br />
promoting the regeneration<br />
and formation of new skin<br />
tissue. It is super-absorbing and<br />
can penetrate all three layers of<br />
the skin, offering exceptional<br />
cell hydration and regeneration.<br />
Dilo contains powerful<br />
antibacterial, antioxidant and<br />
anti-inflammatory properties<br />
which promotes the growth of<br />
healthy and glowing skin.<br />
Organic Argan oil (or liquid<br />
gold) is the next amazing<br />
oil that is extremely rich in<br />
beneficial nutrients, fatty acids<br />
and vitamin E. It gives the<br />
skin a youthful glow restores<br />
elasticity and leaves the skin<br />
feeling plumper and softer.<br />

This beautifully appointed executive<br />
home is architecturally designed by Chaplin<br />
Crooks Architects and boasts panoramic<br />
views that are world class and take in<br />
some of the most spectacular scenery. The<br />
breathtaking views capture right along<br />
the Pegasus Bay coastline to the Kaikoura<br />
Ranges, out over the ocean and around to<br />
the city.<br />
Built to impeccable standards in 2006<br />
and with the timeless look of Oamaru<br />
Stone both inside and out giving the home<br />
a substantial feel. Spanning a floor area<br />
of approx.327sqm and with diverse and<br />
functional living arrangements that will<br />
cater to fantastic dining and entertaining<br />
and family lifestyles.<br />
The view from the kitchen and breakfast<br />
bar is right along Pegasus Bay. The kitchen is<br />
open plan with the living area and features<br />
built in furniture and a drop down movie<br />
screen. Large sliding doors offers outdoor<br />
flow to decks on both sides. A separate<br />
formal lounge adds convenience for all<br />
occasions and opens onto the extensive<br />
patio and sheltered alfresco entertaining<br />
terrace.<br />
When Winter finds its way back around,<br />

of privacy. The varied outdoor living areas<br />
really allow for making the most of the<br />
warm summer nights.<br />
