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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

are next to the<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 />

“A lot of traffic still use that would jump at the opportunity for<br />

“It reflects poorly on the suburb<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 />

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 />

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 />

Further work<br />

for Sparks Rd<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 />

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.

Now<br />

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 />

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 />

THe board members met with<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 />

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 />

Brigit (Head of Girls’ School) please<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 />

carefully developed over many years<br />

seen in New Zealand and Internationally.<br />

will prepare you fully for secondary and<br />

beyond. A well-balanced mixture of<br />

specialist and home room teaching in<br />

this highly resourced environment will<br />

capture your interest and attention in a<br />

manner that will ensure your success.<br />

Chisnallwood is nationally renowned<br />

for its achievements particularly in the<br />

areas of music, the arts, sport and all<br />

academic endeavours. This success<br />

the resources we have and the<br />

commitment of the highly trained and<br />

dedicated teaching staff.<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 />

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 />

100 pupils, empty classrooms<br />

and wondered what tomorrow<br />

‘A stable team of dedicated, caring<br />

Waltham School is living its vision<br />

and ‘Reaching for the Stars’.<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 />

has grown to accommodate 800 students within its<br />

beautiful grounds. The spirit of Mercy is the very heart<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 />

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 tree of LIFE<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 />

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 />

Price: $1,385,000<br />

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

comfort is easily achieved thanks to a gas<br />

fire, heatpump, under floor heating and<br />

extensively landscaped with hardy plantings<br />

for minimal upkeep while offering the best<br />

of privacy. The varied outdoor living areas<br />

really allow for making the most of the<br />

warm summer nights.<br />

Seriously good real estate and too<br />

special not to experience in person. Make<br />

demanding a sale as they are relocating<br />

back into the city for family commitments.<br />
