SPLISH SPLASH! 

As the temperatures soared to 

28 deg C last week, swimming 

pools were an ideal spot to 

cool down. One-year-old Jae

the cool water at Jellie Park

Call to 

thwart 

drivers 

taking 

short cuts 

• By Anan Zaki 

RESIDENTS growing tired of 

short cut-takers have petitioned 

the city council to close off their 

street. 

Konini St residents submitted 

a 38-signature petition to the 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board, calling to 

restrict access to their street from 

the busy Riccarton Rd. 

Konini St is off Riccarton Rd, 

opposite Shand Crescent Reserve. 

A representative for the residents, 

Annette Pendergast says 

the short cut-taking traffic was 

“horrendous.” 

She said because of changes to 

traffic patterns since the February 

22, 2011, earthquake, the street 

has become dangerous. 

“Post earthquakes, traffic directions 

changed. Once upon a time 

traffic headed into the CBD,” Mrs 

Pendergast said. 

“That Clyde Rd area became 

really congested, we found that a 

lot of traffic was cutting through 

Konini St [to access Clyde Rd].”

Lack of maintenance slammed 


IF CARMEN RD was in 

Fendalton, this bit of weed would 

be mowed. 

That is the view of Greater 

Hornby Residents’ Association 

member Mark Peters — who 

slammed the lack of maintenance 

on the State Highway from the 

airport. 

The weeds 

are next to the 

train tracks 

which are

The land 

is leased by KiwiRail, who last 

month told Western News they 

would contact the leaseholder 

about the issue. 

But in spite of their comment 

nothing has been done about the 

issue, Mr Peters said. 

He criticised what he perceived 

– that Hornby was often “overlooked” 

by decision-makers. 

“If it was in Fendalton, my goodness 

they would pay attention to it 

real quick,” Mr Peters said. 

Residents’ association chairman 

Marc Duff said the road is a gateway 

to the South Island’s major 

tourist destinations. 

NEGLECT: Greater Hornby Residents’ Association member Mark Peters says if this stretch of 

road was in Fendalton, it would be a lot tidier.

“It reflects poorly on the suburb 

and it’s time that organisations 

took some ownership.” 

Mr Peters also highlighted a 

potential fire risk due to sparks 

from the trains. In November, a 

Dunedin-bound train caused a 

scrub fire near Templeton. 

“Let’s not have that happen in 

the heart of Hornby,” Mr Peters 

said.

Grass fire 

flares up 

in Hornby 


FIRE CREWS were called to a 

vegetation fire at an industrial 

area in Hornby last week. 

Fire and Emergency spokesman 

Andrew Norris said firefighters 

attended the grass fire 

outside Streamline Freight at 

Waterloo Rd at about 4.50pm, 

Wednesday. 

It was extinguished by one 

fire truck, but crews were 

present for about 40 minutes, 

he said. 

The cause of the fire is not 

known, Mr Norris said. 

Fire investigator Wayne 

Hamilton said it was standard 

practice to make sure the hot 

spots were cooled down in 

vegetation fires, which was 

why crews were out for 40 

minutes. 

Meanwhile, Fire and 

Emergency was called for a 

precautionary measure last 

Tuesday at the request of 

Meridian Energy, after power 

lines came down on Old West 

Coast Rd, Yaldhurst. 

The area was isolated until 

Orion arrived and there were 

no power outages. 

•From page 1 

Mrs Pendergast lived at Konini 

St for 12 years and was familiar 

with her former neighbours’ 

concerns. 

She now lives at nearby 

Wharenui Rd. 

“I stay in touch with my old 

neighbours. When I moved there 

15 years ago it was beautiful with 

big wide grass berms and it was a 

lovely quiet street.” 

Continuous roadworks, lack 

of maintenance and increased 

traffic has changed that, Mrs 

Pendergast said. 

Last year, roadworks temporarily 

blocked the direct route from 

Konini St to Clyde Rd for about 

six months and it made a “real 

difference” to residents who were 

frustrated about drivers taking 

short cuts, she said. 

But after the road reopened 

before Christmas, the residents’ 

temporary relief from traffic 

ended, she said. 

City council transport operations 

manager Steffan Thomas 

said council staff are looking at 

the issue. 

“Staff are looking to report 

back to the [Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton] Community Board by 

the end of April,” he said. 

“This would only be to advise 

on the most appropriate option 

for Konini St as, at this stage, 

there is no funding allocated to 

implementing any changes,” Mr 

Thomas said.

Nga Puna Wai road a no-goer 


AIDANFIELD residents will 

continue to have to put up with 

cars going through their streets 

to reach the Nga Puna Wai 

sports facility. 

Euphrasie Drive resident 

Wayne Keen is calling on the 

city council to put in a 100m 

stretch of road to stop cars 

travelling through his “narrow” 

street to access the sports hub. 

Mr Keen says if a road was 

built to connect McMahon and 

Augustine Drives, cars travelling 

from the Aidanfield Drive 

overbridge would not have to go 

through the narrower streets in 

Aidanfield. 

It would also make the journey 

faster, he said. 

But the city council says it has 

no plans to install a permanent 

link for the two roads. 

Mr Keen said McMahon and 

Augustine Drives had parking 

bays, which meant greater room 

to cater for the increased traffic 

since the sports facility opened 

last year. 

Euphrasie Drive was not as 

wide, he said. 

City council manager capital 

delivery Darren Moses said there 

is currently a truck access between 

McMahon and Augustine 

Drives, but it only for 

heavy trucks on a “case-by-case 

basis.” 

“For major events, Nga Puna 

Wai will seek one off permission 

to use the McMahon entrance to 

help spread traffic,” he said. 

Mr Keen said the city council 

should seal the truck access. 

“Why don’t you [council] just 

make it easier for people? It just 

beggars belief.” 

“This is the formed [truck access] 

they had to form to build 

the place,” he said. 

Mr Keen said planners overlooked 

the impact from traffic 

travelling from the Aidanfield 

Drive overbridge. 

“To build everything down the 

Halswell Rd end of Augustine 

Drive was short-sighted,” he 

said. 

“Does everybody come from 

that side of the city? No. So 

guess what? The traffic is going 

down Wigram Rd, coming up 

the Aidanfield Drive overbridge 

right through and they turn on

Mr Keen presented his concerns 

to the Halswell-Hornby-

last month. 

Board chairman Mike Mora

consideration. 

Mr Keen built a house on

Further work 

for Sparks Rd 

WORK HAS started on a new 

cycleway and infrastructure 

upgrades in Halswell and Hoon 

Hay. 

The city council project will 

take place on Sparks Rd, between 

Victors and Hendersons Rds. 

Work started last week. 

Construction of the water main 

will take several months, the city 

council said. 

Contractors from Fulton Hogan 

will first trench the intersection, 

place in the water pipes and then 

backfill the area. 

The new cycleway – part of the 

Quarryman’s Trail route – will 

also take several months to complete. 

Work on both the cycleway and 

water main is expected to finish 

by the end of July and work will 

be carried out between 7am and 

7pm every day. 

Lane shifts and shoulder 

closures will be in place while 

the work is being carried out and 

residents will have access to their 

properties at all times, the city 

council said. 

Last year, the city council 

completed work on the first 

stage of the Quarryman’s Trail 

between Moorhouse Ave and 

Victors Rd.

Multi-skilled 

AGELESS: Barry Gardiner is training for the 47km Motatapu mountain bike race. He will be the 

oldest competitor at 81. 


• 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. 

Gardiner 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.

sportsman recognised with honour 

“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 wicketkeeper, 

including an unsuccessful 

Hawke Cup challenge against 

Nelson. 

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. 

While living in the West Coast 

he also won the shot put title at 

the Canterbury junior athletics 

championships in dramatic 

fashion. 

The West Coast athletes 

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.

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.

Running reds: ‘It’s just not worth it’ 


• By Julia Evans 

RED LIGHT-runners, like the 

person driving this campervan, 

are putting other motorists lives 

at risk. 

Last Tuesday afternoon the 

vehicle ran a red light at the busy 

Curletts Rd and Main South Rd 

intersection in Upper Riccarton. 

The 

Christchurch 

Transport 

Operations 

Centre has 

just released 

its annual data 

on red lightrunners 

at city 

Glen Koorey 

intersections, 

which was collected 

over 24 

hours on November 29. 

The intersection of Curletts and 

Main South Rds was the worst, 

with 861 motorists running red 

lights during that period. 

That equates to nearly 36 every 

hour. More than 500 of the red 

light-runners were from the 

Curletts Rd north approach. 

There were 10 crossing crashes 

at the intersection between 2012 

and 2016, including one fatal in 

2011. 

Canterbury road policing 

manager Inspector Ash Tabb said 

red light-running put drivers, 

passengers and other road users 

at risk. 

“Our staff are working on our 

roads every day trying to stop 

risky behaviour, such as people 

running red lights,” he said. 

He said too many drivers enter 

intersections on orange lights. 

“These often change to red 

while the driver is still in the intersection, 

which creates unnecessary 

risk,” said Inspector Tabb. 

“What people need to remember 

is, it’s just not worth it. You’ve 

got to ask yourself; is it worth 

crashing and risking injury – or 

worse – just to get across an 

intersection without having to 

wait for another light change? You 

could seriously hurt yourself, or 

somebody else.” 

Second on the red light-running 

list, and also last year’s highest, 

was Colombo St and Moorhouse 

Ave with 806 runners. Last year it 

had 666. 

The intersection also has the 

second highest number of recorded 

crashes with six between 

2012 and 2016. Buckleys Rd and 

Russell St in Linwood was third, 

with 649 runners recorded. 

At the city’s 15 worst intersections, 

8170 motorists were 

detected running red lights. 

That was up from 7224 last year 

and 6580 in 2016. 

City council operations manager 

transport Steffan Thomas 

said the city council is concerned 

about the number of red lightrunners. 

“At present, the trial red light 

camera is collecting statistical 

information, including video and 

fixed images of speeding and red 

light-running incidents,” he said. 

The camera is at the intersection 

of Bealey Ave and Madras St. 

“Police have access to the data 

collected from the red light-running 

camera so that they may use 

it to help inform any enforcement 

strategies.” 

ViaStrada senior traffic engineer 

Glen Koorey said there are a 

“myriad” of reasons why red lightrunning 

occurs. 

“It can be deliberate or it can be 

innocent, people might not notice 

the light,” he said. 

“Sometimes even just a change 

in traffic volume pressure at a 

particular time of the day . . . 

Curletts is busy at the best of 

times.” 

The worst intersections 

for red light-runners: 

•Curletts Rd/Main 

South Rd – 861 

•Moorhouse Ave/ 

Colombo St – 806 

•Buckleys Rd/Russell 

St – 649

Subdivision stoush heats up 

Resident 

accused of 

stifling growth 


A RESIDENT caught up in a 

Yaldhurst subdivision battle 

has accused another local of 

holding back growth. 

Last month, Western 

News reported Colin Stokes’ 

efforts to stop the naming of 

a road in the 

Yaldhurst 

Park subdivision. 

Mr 

Stokes said 

naming the 

road would 

legitimise 

Colin Stokes 

it – and he 

believed it 

did not have 

the required stormwater provisions. 

Following the article, another 

Yaldhurst resident, Douglas 

Cameron, contacted Western 

News, saying Mr Stokes was 

stifling growth in the area. 

“Eight years in contesting 

issues, he [Mr Stokes] has been 

putting up all sorts of barriers, 

preventing the roading from 

03 349 5050 

ROAD BLOCK: Colin Stokes has been accused of holding up the development of Rannoch 

Drive, which would link two Yaldhurst subdivisions. 

going through,” Mr Cameron 

said. 

Allowing the roads to go 

ahead would mean another 

step forward in connecting the 

two subdivisions, Mr Cameron 

said. 

“We were promised many 

years ago to have roading 

access out through Rannoch 

Drive into the new [Yaldhurst 

Park] subdivision.” 

Mr Stokes denied he was 

holding up the development. 

“That’s not the case at all. 

We’ve never stopped the 

subdivision from going ahead,” 

Mr Stokes said. 

He said he has been 

acting to protect his interests 

– he wants to be included in 

the Yaldhurst Park subdivision 

via a road link which is yet to 

happen. 

Mr Stokes agreed Mr 

Cameron should vent his 

SAME 

DAY 

RELINES 

frustration over the issue, but 

not at him. 

Mr Stokes said the 

frustration should be directed 

at the roading authorities, city 

council and the New Zealand 

Transport Agency. 

“If Mr Cameron wants 

details to assist him in 

his endeavours to force 

the construction of this 

connection, I am only too 

happy to help,” he said.

Cathedral Grammar Pre-School 

located within the heart of the city 

Our play based learning 

approach supports your child 

as they begin their exciting 

journey as a lifelong learner. 

Play, laughter and learning are essential 

ingredients for a successful Pre-School 

education. The crucial early years need to 

be nurtured, shaped and cherished as your 

child takes their first steps in education. 

Cathedral Grammar Pre-School proudly 

teaches the children of tomorrow, today. 

At Cathedral Grammar Pre-School your 

whole family is welcomed into the wider 

embrace of the Grammar community 

including whole school fun and functions, 

services and support as well as smooth 

transition to the Junior School and links to 

the Prep School. 

In Cathedral Grammar’s purpose built 

Pre-School, taught by qualified teachers, 

your child will discover by curiosity, 

investigation and exploration. Our low 

child/teacher ratios, ensure your child’s 

quality individual and group learning. 

Research states that play may be the 

single most important things that humans 

do. “Our play based learning approach 

supports your child as they begin their 

exciting journey as a lifelong learner” says 

Principal Scott Thelning. 

Your child will develop essential 

foundations in literacy and numeracy. He 

or she will enjoy the benefits of specialised 

facilities, subjects and staff including Art, 

Physical Education, Yoga and Chapel. 

When children feel good about 

themselves and their abilities, they are able 

to take flight and explore, discover, take 

risks and play, laugh and learn effectively 

and successfully. “Self-esteem is at the core 

of this development process” Thelning 

says. 

Being an inner city Pre-School gives 

you a wonderfully easy opportunity to 

engage in your child’s learning if you are 

working in the CBD. Every opportunity 

is taken to utilise our central city location 

to extend our ‘campus’ from the Botanic 

Gardens to the Canterbury Museum, 

The Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o 

Waiwhetu to the Christchurch Transitional 

Cathedral, from Tūranga (Christchurch 

central library) to the emergency services.

Cathedral Grammar School Bamford school 

– Every Child, Every Day 


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.

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.

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.

Ultimate beauty oil? 

Are you looking for a beauty oil that 

contains a blend of some of the most 

effective oils available and that these oils are 

just 100% pure and natural with no fillers 

or cheap additives? 

Our new ULTIMATE BEAUTY OIL 

BLEND contains a perfect combination of 

three of the best natural healing and skin 

restoration oils available to give your skin 

what it needs! 

The first oil is the remarkable Organic 

Dilo. One of the best kept secrets of the 

Pacific Islands Dilo oil may however be the 

number one natural beauty oil available. 

According to ethnobotanist 

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.

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number: SM0104 

This beautifully appointed executive 

home is architecturally designed by Chaplin 

Crooks Architects and boasts panoramic 

views that are world class and take in 

some of the most spectacular scenery. The 

breathtaking views capture right along 

the Pegasus Bay coastline to the Kaikoura 

Ranges, out over the ocean and around to 

the city. 

Built to impeccable standards in 2006 

and with the timeless look of Oamaru 

Stone both inside and out giving the home 

a substantial feel. Spanning a floor area 

of approx.327sqm and with diverse and 

functional living arrangements that will 

cater to fantastic dining and entertaining 

and family lifestyles. 

The view from the kitchen and breakfast 

bar is right along Pegasus Bay. The kitchen is 

open plan with the living area and features 

built in furniture and a drop down movie 

screen. Large sliding doors offers outdoor 

flow to decks on both sides. A separate 

formal lounge adds convenience for all 

occasions and opens onto the extensive 

patio and sheltered alfresco entertaining 

terrace. 

When Winter finds its way back around, 

comfort is easily achieved thanks to a gas 

fire, heatpump, under floor heating and 

double glazing. 

There’s 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2

generous in size and is fully advantaged by

The setting is amazing on its sprawling 

1701sqm of grounds that have been 

extensively landscaped with hardy plantings 

for minimal upkeep while offering the best 

of privacy. The varied outdoor living areas 

really allow for making the most of the 

warm summer nights.
