Bus battle almost over for rest home 

• By Matt Slaughter 

RESIDENTS OF a Mairehau rest 

home may have won their battle 

with Environment Canterbury 

to get an alternative transport 

service. 

Diana Isaac Retirement Village 

resident Graham Tate has met 

with ECan representatives to 

discuss what could replace 

the bus service which no longer 

stops at the village on Philpotts 

Rd. 

The meeting comes after a 

long fight by residents to get an 

alternative service. 

At a meeting on January 

17, ECan raised the idea of 

providing a service on a trial 

basis to transport retirement 

village residents to bus stops and 

locations that they can no longer 

access. 

“We’re very happy to look at 

an option that I think could be 

better than the bus,” Mr Tate 

said. 

“The welfare of the elderly 

is very much about them 

getting out and meeting 

other people and seeing other 

things.” 

ECan senior manager of public 

transport Stewart Gibbon said 

the service would be similar 

to what is already offered to 

residents in rural areas, 

where bus services are not 

accessible. 

Mr Tate said the details of the 

service still need to be worked 

out.

from the editor’s desk 

GOOD NEWS, and good news. 

On page 1, we reveal common sense may 

have finally prevailed in the long-running 

battle between Diana Isaac Retirement 

Village residents and Environment 

Canterbury. The residents have dug in over the axeing of the bus 

service on their street, and now seem to have come up trumps. 

ECan is looking at an alternative service to get the oldies to 

and from where they need to go. 

These people have paid taxes and rates all of their lives – 

public organisations like ECan have to step up. 

On page 3, New Zealand Post will stay in Papanui. 

There was some concern they would go – I’m not sure why 

because there’s lots of people in Papanui. And that translates to 

customers.

PostShop 

to move on 

Thursday 

THE PAPANUI PostShop will 

remain open but will move 

premises on Thursday. 

It will begin operating out of 

the services centre at the Papanui 

Library after closing at Main 

North Rd. 

Papanui PostShop was one of 79 

set to close across the country as 

part of a cost-cutting move by NZ 

Post. 

City councillor Mike Davidson 

said the solution to partner with 

the service centre was always a 

good option. 

“It’s a really good outcome for 

the community, a fantastic result. 

“When you look at the demographic 

for Papanui there’s a lot of 

elderly people and so many people 

rely on those services,” said Cr 

Davidson. 

Age Concern Canterbury chief 

executive Simon Templeton said 

“having the PostShop close to the 

mall was really useful for older 

people because they could do 

everything that they needed to 

do in one area, so having it at the 

library would keep that possibility 

for them.” 

Meanwhile, there is still no 

update on the Merivale PostShop 

which is due to close on Thursday. 

Cracks in library floor 

• By Jess Gibson 

PARTS OF the Bishopdale 

Library are being repaired just 

18 months after it opened due 

to cracks being found in the 

concrete floor. 

Shrinkage cracks which are 

believed to have formed within 

the first two days of the slab 

being poured in 2017 are now 

being fixed in the entrance and 

the lobby of the building. 

The library will remain 

open and the entrance will be 

detoured. The assembly hall was 

closed for repair from January 

20 and opened on Monday. 

Acting head of libraries and 

information Erica Rankin said 

there is a high likelihood there 

are shrinkage cracks in other 

parts of the building, but they 

are covered by floor materials. 

The damage became apparent 

SIGNIFICANT: One of the floor cracks at the new Bishopdale 

Library. 

when the plastic was removed 

from the slab. 

She said that the foyer required 

fixing as the damage was 

noticeable to visitors and the 

assembly hall needed repairs as 

cracks made the bamboo floor 

covering unstable. 

Specialist concrete installers 

are working to remove the damaged 

concrete and apply the new 

floor topcoat of terrazzo-like 

material. 

There is no other damage to 

the building.

Teen’s booming gift card and baby 

In just three years, Zoe 

Elmey has sold more than 

4500 gift cards which 

feature her artwork, 

with the prime minister 

recently becoming 

one of her many happy 

recipients. Louis Day 

reports 

ZOE ELMEY is only 13 and 

has already built up a booming 

business. 

The teenager has a gift card 

business and a range of baby 

products selling throughout New 

Zealand. 

The gift cards have also been 

sold in a shop at Eastbourne in 

south-east England. 

Zoe, who starts St Andrew’s 

College this year, has sold more 

than 4500 gift cards featuring her 

own designs. 

And Prime Minister Jacinda 

Ardern is also a fan. 

Zoe sent gift cards and bibs 

and teething rings from her 

baby product range to new 

mother Ms Adern as part of the 

prime minister’s Christmas card 

competition. 

Ms Ardern sent a letter 

thanking her for the gifts. 

“It was amazing, I didn’t expect 

anything back, I thought it was 

just going to add to the pile of 

things she probably receives,” she 

said. 

Zoe started the business Lots of 

Love Art when she was 10. 

She has 26 different designs, 

which feature on various pieces 

of artwork. 

Fifty per cent of the proceeds 

of a turtle card are donated to 

Greenpeace to help it continue 

to protect turtles from plastic 

pollution. 

She has also recently started

by the arrival of her newborn 

sister Hollyanne. 

“I made so much stuff for her,” 

she said.



business 

SEWING MACHINE: Zoe spends a lot of her free time sewing 

items for her baby range. 

“I was knitting and sewing and 

I just loved the bibs and the 

teething rings so I just started 

selling them,” she said. 

Zoe sews all of the baby bibs, 

burp clothing and material 

covering her teething rings by 

hand. 

“I’m probably different to the 

usual teenager hanging out at the 

beach and stuff. Basically, any 

free time I have after school I’m 

sewing and working on the baby 

range.” 

Said her mother Becky Nisbet: 

“When Zoe was at pre-school she 

would spend all day doing arts 

and crafts and making presents 

for me when other kids were in 

the playground and sandpit.” 

The business began to boom 

after Mrs Nisbet started showing 

the cards to gift shops while they 

were on holiday in New Zealand 

and when they were in England. 

Natalie Stuart, of the Akaroa 

Dolphins Shop, said Zoe’s cards 

were extremely popular with 

customers. 

“People come in and are 

astounded that the cards were 

made by someone so young – 

they sell like hot cakes.” 

So is Zoe on her way to her first 

$1 million? Mum and Zoe are not 

saying. 


OUT-THINKING burglars, 

what to do in a tsunami and 

how to prepare for another big 

earthquake will all be topics 

of discussion at a large public 

meeting in New Brighton. 

The Save Our Suburbs safety 

expo will give residents in the 

east “the knowledge they need 

to protect themselves and their 

neighbours,” said its organiser 

Soozie Bragg. 

The expo 

will be held on 

March 9 from 

11am until 

3pm at the 

old Central 

New Brighton 

Soozie Bragg 

School site. 

It will bring 

together emergency 

services, Civil Defence, 

community watch groups, security 

companies, Age Concern, 

dog trainers, cybersecurity, insurance 

and self-defence experts 

and concerned residents. 

More groups are likely to 

confirm their attendance as the 

day gets closer. 

Ms Bragg said educating 

people on how they could work 

together with police to prevent 

crime in the eastern suburbs 

was a major focus of the event. 

“We need to be able to help 

the police to keep the crime 

under control and accept the 

fact that the police want us to 

report everything,” Ms Bragg 

said. 

Ms Bragg said she and a number 

of others in the east were 

left with damaged properties, 

no running water and no toilets 

after the earthquakes. 

She said her limited knowledge 

of what she could do to 

help herself during this time 

had highlighted the importance 

of providing this information 

on the day. 

New Brighton Business and 

Landowners Association’s 

Paul Lonsdale is also helping 

to organise the event. He said 

Local 


Now 

Expo on emergencies, crime 


the community had also not 

been prepared for the tsunami 

warning after the Kaikoura 

earthquake, just after midnight 

on November 14, 2016. 

This made the tsunami 

preparedness side of the expo 

another key focus, Mr Lonsdale 

said. 

“Both Sumner and New 

Brighton got bottlenecked with 

people trying to get out late 

at night and some people had 

nowhere to go.” 

“There’s always this threat 

hanging over any coastal 

community, and understanding 

what to do to ensure that you’re 

safe if something should ever 

happen I think is an important 

thing to know.” 

Ms Bragg said she had been to 

a number of small-scale disaster 

preparedness and public safety 

community meetings in the 

past. 

At these, she said people had 

often voiced safety concerns, 

but discussion rarely took place 

around strategies to manage 

them. She said this had inspired 

her to organise the event. 

“We’ve got to help people 

and the only way we can do 

that is by arming them with 

knowledge, because knowledge 

is power.”

Rallying to beautify Richmond 


RICHMOND IS looking greener 

after a working bee was held 

to install planter boxes along 

Stanmore Rd. 

Richmond residents and 

businesses came together to take 

part in the Richmond village 

streetscape project. 

Richmond Residents 

and Business Association 

chairwoman Hayley 

Guglielmo said she and about 20 

volunteers had got their hands 

dirty installing 10 new planter 

boxes along the footpath at the 

North Avon Rd end of Stanmore 

Rd. 

Mrs Guglielmo said the 

existing plantings on the footpath 

also received a tidy-up. 

The planter boxes were repurposed 

and donated by the 

city council, which also provided 

some funding for the plants. 

Mrs Guglielmo said the planter 

boxes would add some muchneeded 

vibrancy to Stanmore 

Rd’s worn footpath. 

“They will have a mixture of 

bee-loving, colourful hebes and 

herbs for restaurants and shops to 

use, so it will look lush and green. 

It will brighten up our Stanmore 

Rd village.” 

Mrs Guglielmo said the 

project had been part of a 

drive to clean up Richmond’s 

earthquake-damaged footpaths 

and provide something good for 

its people. 

“The Richmond Community 

Garden and the residents’ 

association have got a really big 

drive to make Richmond greener 

and more edible.” 

She said the Richmond 

Residents and Business 

Association was currently 

REVITALISED: Rachel 

Thwaites, Ashley Crook and 

Hayley Guglielmo with the 

planter boxes along Stanmore 

Rd. 

working with the city council 

to organise more plantings 

for Richmond’s earthquakedamaged 

sites. 

“There are quite a few sites 

around Richmond that have been 

left to rack and ruin just simply 

because of post-earthquake 

issues.” 

Ruedi’s Cafe owner Irene 

Liu said the planter boxes 

were directly outside of her 

store and had made a noticeable 

difference. 

“After the earthquake, the 

street was damaged badly.” 

She said the new planter boxes 

could attract new business and 

it was great to see residents and 

the city council team-up to do 

something about it. 

The planter boxes made it feel 

like Stanmore Rd now had “more 

direction,” Ms Liu said.

St Christopher’s 

in the market 

for new vicar 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

ST CHRISTOPHER’S church 

in Avonhead is on the hunt for 

a new vicar. 

Vicar Mark Hood resigned 

from the role last month 

after serving at the church on 

Avonhead Rd for four years. 

But the priest-in-charge 

of the Anglican church, 

Reverend Susan Gill, who has 

taken over the role temporarily, 

said the church is happy to take 

its time to find a new vicar. 

“Things don’t move quickly 

in Anglican churches,” she 

said. 

Reverend Gill said the 

church wants to be more 

focused on the wider 

community this year than it 

has been in the past. 

“My background is in 

community development 

before I was ordained so I am 

personally really passionate 

about the church’s place in the 

wider community,” she said. 

The church holds various 

community events throughout 

the year, including book 

fairs, a youth group, movie 

nights and the St Christopher’s 

Fair.

Although born and raised in the American Midwest, John Emery 

has spent the past twenty-five years shuttling back and forth 

between Dayton, Ohio and Burkes Pass, New Zealand, where he 

established a second home and studio in 2000. These places — 

so far distant in miles and cultural experience — have distinctly 

shaped Emery’s vision and art. 

My painting process typically begins with a solitary object, my 

sketchbook journal, or a bird’s song that triggers my curiosity, 

a visual narrative is then constructed. As with all my works, some 

elements become three-dimensional as I form them from paper, 

the most versatile material I know. Thus, the tromp l’oeil illusion 

of a painted object and the reality of a constructed object shift the 

perspective and perception of the work and force the viewer to 

consider the point where reality and the imagined meet. 

The paintings, like memories, are often not what they seem. 

The result is a personal narrative.

about the United Nations’ 17 

sustainability goals, is set to 

launch on February 24. 

Its chief executive Bridget 

Williams – who is also a 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board member – 

plans to host a launch party with 

business partners, Luke Gillespie 

and Anita Chang, at Avebury 

House from 12.30-3pm on the 

day of the launch. 

New Zealand agreed to adopt 

the sustainability goals in 2015. 

They aim to end poverty, protect 

the environment and minimise 

inequality, among other 

aspirations, by 2030. 

“These goals are for everyone, 

no one can be left behind,” said 

Miss Williams. 

The jewellery kits aim to get 

people together to create their 

own necklaces, with five beads 

that can be painted different 

colours to represent the goals 

they want achieved. 

The money from each kit 

LAUNCH: Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board 

member Bridget Williams (right) and her business partner Anita 

Chang are set to launch of their company next month. 

purchased will be used to donate 

another kit to a low decile school 

or community organisation. 

Bead to Proceed has partnered 

with SILENCE, an organisation 

in Kolkata, India, which employs 

deaf and physically-challenged 

people to craft products and 

earn a sustainable income. The 


launch was meant to happen late 

last year but was delayed to allow 

SILENCE employees more time 

to complete the products.

“What I think would be ideal 

would be to run a regular route 

in a 4km radius with stops at 

places like the malls 

and at bus hubs and at 

St George’s, Burwood 

and Southern Cross 

hospitals,” Mr Tate said. 

Mr Gibbon said ECan 

had not decided how big 

the vehicle would need 

to be, but Mr Tate said 

an eight-seater would be 

ideal. ECan would run 

the alternative service on a trial 

basis if the idea is given the 

green light. 

“Discussions to date are 

exploring the idea of a trial 

period of up to six months to 

validate the feasibility of the idea

Now 


OPTION: 

ECan has 

raised 

the idea 

of a trial 

service to 

transport 

retirement 

village 

residents 

now that 

the Orbiter 

bus no 

longer 

stops 

outside the 

village. 

Bus battle almost over 

in this specific urban context,” 

Mr Gibbon said. 

If the service continued after 

the trial, a trust could be formed 

between ECan and 

elected representatives 

from the village to fund 

it. ECan and the New 

Zealand Transport 

Agency could provide 

an annual grant for the 

service, but the majority 

of the cost would need to 

Graham Tate be covered by the trust. 

Mr Tate said the drivers 

would be a mix of volunteers 

from the village and other 

community members who 

wished to help. ECan will now 

discuss the option with Ryman 

Healthcare, which owns Diana 

Isaac Retirement Village.

Anniversary

Walking into Community College

the feel that this place is different to 

school. 

Students in chef outfits are busy 

preparing food before their busy café 

day. The barista machine hums as 

students fine-tune their coffee-making 

skills. 

Sports students head off to the gym 

for their daily workout and Emerge 

prepares for a day orienteering on 

mountain bikes. 

Out the back, equine students are

DETERMINED: Hollie Tribble riding at the Oceania BMX Continental 

Championships last Saturday.

Hollie pedals to third at 

Oceania BMX champs 


NORTH Avon 

Christchurch BMX Club 

rider Hollie Tribble has 

made her mark at an 

international level. 

Hollie, 8, who lives in St 

Albans, finished third at 

the Oceania Continental 

Championships last 

Saturday in Te Awamutu, 

where she competed 

against riders a year older 

than her. 

The event for nineyear-olds 

was won by 

Cambridge rider Beth 

Walker. More than 500 

riders competed at the 

champs – eight of them 

from the North Avon 

Christchurch club. 

Hollie qualified after 

finishing eighth at the 

national competiton in 

New Plymouth last year, 

in spite of suffering a big 

crash during the race. 

Earlier this month, 

Hollie competed at the 

South Island BMX Titles 

in Dunedin, where she 

won all of her seven races 

and the overall event for 

girls aged seven to nine, 

defending her 2018 title as 

the top South Island rider 

in her category. Hollie 

CHUFFED: Hollie Tribble receives her trophy for 

finishing third in the ‘girls aged nine’ section.

started riding at age four 

after her mother Hayley 

Groves took her to watch 

a national competition in 

Hornby. 

“She decided then that 

she wanted to be a BMX 

rider, so she tested us until 

she could get a BMX bike 

and go to training,” said 

Ms Groves. 

Hollie said her favourite 

part about riding is 

“travelling around New 

Zealand” with friends from 

her club. The Elmwood 

Normal School pupil will 

soon have to balance three 

to four days of training a 

week. 

“Training is after 

school so sometimes 

homework can be a 

challenge, but Hollie tries 

to complete her homework 

before school each day by 

getting up early,” said Ms 

Groves. •More sport p12

Baker in US to 

take up golf 

scholarship 

SUCCESS: Louis Sharp (inset) drove his kart to victory at the CIK Trophy of New Zealand. 

St Joseph’s pupil has drive to 

qualify for kart race in Italy 

• By Gordon Findlater 

LOUIS SHARP has taken a step 

towards gaining a spot at the Rok 

Cup International final in Italy 

after winning his class at the 

CIK Trophy of New Zealand in 

Hamilton. 

The 11-year-old St Joseph’s 

School pupil didn’t show any 

signs of rust as he drove to 

victory in the Vortex Mini Rok 

final after being out of his kart 

for nearly two months. 

The event was the first of four 

in the ROK Cup NZ series. The 

winner of the series will book 

a seat in Italy. This year, two 

drivers in the class will head to 

the Rok Cup International final. 

Louis will have a chance to 

book an automatic spot if he 

wins the KartSport New Zealand 

national sprint championships in 

April. 

If a driver wins both the 

national title and the series, the 

second place finisher in the series 

will qualify for a spot in Italy. 

Louis dominated his class last 

Saturday, qualifying fastest. 

He then won both his heat one 

and heat two races. Last Sunday 

also started well with a win in 

heat three. 

However, Louis lost pace in 

the pre-final race, meaning he 

started the final from third spot 

on the grid. 

In the final, he made his way 

to the front of the field with five 

laps remaining and finished 

1.56sec ahead of Ashton Phipps 

in second. 

Louis will now set his sights on 

the second round of the W.P.K.A 

Goldstar Series in New Plymouth 

in March.

BEN BAKER headed stateside 

on January 13 to start a fouryear 

golf scholarship at Nicholls 

State University in Louisiana. 

The 19-year-old finished his 

time at Christchurch Boys’ High 

School at the end of 2017. 

Baker took a gap year, which 

has paid off for him with the 

opportunity to become part of 

Nicholls State’s golf programme. 

He was part of the 

Christchurch Boys’ High School 

team which won their maiden 

New Zealand secondary schools 

golf title in 2017. 

Baker now becomes the third 

member of that team to head 

to the United States on a golf 

scholarship, joining Tom Parker 

(University of Oregon) and 

Dominic Brettkelly (Western 

Kentucky University). 

At the national tournament 

CBHS led by one shot after the 

first round before the pair of 

Parker and Baker went bogeyfree 

in the second round to 

widen the gap on the field and 

lead CBHS to their first national 

title. 

OPPORTUNITY: Ben Baker 

has taken his golfing talent 

to Nicholls State University in 

the US. 

In 2018, Barker was part 

of the Canterbury under-19 

team which finished third at 

last year’s national provincial 

tournament. He was also part of 

Russley’s men’s inter-club team 

that defended their Woodward 

Cup title.

House of Cards is a day-time bridge club 

situated in Merivale. Our philosophy is to 

provide a friendly, family-type environment 

for bridge players. 

Bridge is not only a wonderful, stimulating 

game, it is also splendidly social. We have 

had much pleasure in seeing many new 

friendships flourish over the years. 

House of Cards is especially renowned 

for its teaching and we have taught literally 

thousands of beginners as well as improvers, 

in Christchurch and around New Zealand. 

We have run several national teachers’ 

conferences and have been instrumental 

in creating a national standard for bridge 

teachers. 

We have also written a whole series of 

bridge books for new and improving players 

which are widely used in New Zealand, 

Australia and the United Kingdom. 

We are a friendly, enthusiastic team 

who welcome new players. We have four 

sessions dedicated especially for the novice 

player, so you needn’t feel nervous! 

We will also introduce you to 

SkyBridgeClub. This is an online club 

catering for the improving player, where 

you can practice online during your course. 

It’s a great way to learn. 

Come in and see us. We’d love to meet you.

learn to Line Dance 

The dance floor – a place where bills 

and responsibility don’t exist, where 

stress is gone and nothing matters but the 

music. The dance floor is freedom, say the 

Cathedral City Line Dancers. 

A recent German study tested people 

who tried different forms of exercise and 

then measured their hippocampuses 

(the memory centre of their brains) and 

those who did Line Dancing were better 

protected from dementia and memory loss. 

So, if you like to dance, want a social life 

with a friendly bunch of people and a lot 

of laughs while exercising your brain, then 

Line Dancing could be just what you are 

looking for. They even cater for people with 

two left feet. 

You can have all this, plus meet new 

friends by joining Cathedral City Line 

Dancers and learning to dance with Mary. 

For details, see the advertisement on this

FOR ALL AGES




Join a night class at 

Papanui High School 

It is time to make those New Year 

resolutions so why not begin 2019 by 

taking some time for yourself and joining 

one of the wide range of nightclasses that 

are on offer at Papanui High School. 

The start of a new year is the ideal 

opportunity to get inspired to get out and 

learn something new and meet some new 

people? Classes for Term 1 begin from 

Monday 11 February and the options are 

extensive from Art to Yoga and everything 

in between we are sure regardless of your 

age or interest you will find something 

to tempt you. Classes at Papanui High 

School are held in a warm, friendly relaxed 

environment and our tutors are supportive 

and well qualified in their chosen fields. 

One of our new courses on offer is 

Cake Design, taught by Paula Profitt from 

Sweet Revenge Bakery. Paula is a very 

experienced Cake Designer and she will 

teach students how to layer and fill and ice 

a cake to a smooth finish, piping techniques 

and the art of a good drizzle along with 

mirror glazes and chocolate decorations. 

You will also learn how to make fondant 

cake toppers in various styles. 

For further information and enrolment 

in any of our courses please visit our 

website www.papanui.school.nz go to the 

Adult Education tab at the top right of the 

screen and then browse courses, or email 

Barbara Roper rpb@papanui.school.nz 

or telephone our office on 3520701. 

New experiences at WEA 

It is almost time for the new term to 

start here at the Canterbury Workers 

Educational Association (WEA). Just as the 

new year brings a chance for us all to reflect 

and set goals for positive change in the year 

ahead, so to does the new school year for 

us at the WEA, as we plan and schedule 

courses, talks and learning opportunities 

across the coming months. Positive change 

(whether for personal or planetary gain) 

is what the WEA is all about and we are 

excited to offer plenty to support positive 

change in the Term 1 programme (which 

runs February 11th to April 7th). 

With new courses in printmaking and 

creative writing, and workshops ranging 

from crafting feminism to renaissance 

dance there is plenty to help you get creative 

this summer. 

We also have talks coming up from and 

about some truly inspiring people and 

organisations. We will be joined by Mojo 

Mathers on 20th February (New Zealand’s 

first deaf Member of Parliament) for a 

look at why disability representation in 

politics matters for all of us. Then during 

Seaweek (6th March) we will hear from the 

volunteers at Sea Shepherd on the threats 

to our underwater ecosystems and the 

work they are doing to protect them. There 

are also talks about Marie Curie, Ernest 

Shackleton and William Morris to mention 

but a few. 

For those wanting to take action in their 

own lives to make a difference, a course in 

taking sustainability to the next level will 

be on Wednesday evenings (it even has 

dinner included) followed by one on how 

to live well with less (Living Tiny(er)) on 

Thursday evenings. 

All in all there are more than 40 listed 

events, all of which can be booked 

online at www.cwea.org.nz . Our printed 

programme is available from our front 

porch (59 Gloucester street) or at your 

local library, and our office is open 

9.30-3pm Monday to Friday. We look 

forward to answering your questions and 

hopefully helping 

you to make 2019 

a year of new 

experiences and 

positive learning!

of the ‘Future Living Skills’ programme. 

We are continually developing new courses

full range available at a number of venues.

The full programme for Term 4 is on our 

website at http://www.risingholme.org.nz 

FREE Arts & Design 

course, with NCEA built in 

For those looking for a role that 

combines artistic and digital talents, then 

this outstanding, FREE, entry level course 

delivered by local Training Provider 

Trainme, is perfect for those wishing to 

pursue, graphic design, photography or 

digital media as a career. 

The course covers the introduction to 

media techniques such as drawing and 

photography. Students will learn to use 

design software and create their own design 

concepts while collaborating with other 

students on creative projects. 

This course is FREE to students aged 16 

to 19 and they only have to have NCEA 1 

to join. Students without NCEA 1 can be 

admitted, if they show artistic or digital 

aptitude. 

“Many feel that school is not working for 

them or they left without qualifications,” 

says Rhys Pollard, Marketer with tertiary 

educator Trainme. “While not necessarily 

academically minded, they do 

have artistic talents and are very 

much into digital technology.” 

“This FREE six-month 

Trainme course, combines 

these in a very hands-on, 

practical way, giving them an 

intro into various digital media. 

This way, they can decide which 

direction to pursue as their 

career focus.” 

“As an NZQA approved 

programme, NCEA credits 

are built in, so if they apply 


themselves, they can graduate with a New 

Zealand Certificate in Arts and Design 

Level 2, as well as gaining credits towards 

NCEA level 1 or 2.” Says Pollard. 

“NCEA results will depend on how many 

credits they bring to the course to start 

with, but as it’s a fun subject, it won’t feel 

like school at all.” 

Successful Graduates from this 

programme could pathway into higher 

study in media arts, which could include 

graphic design, video production, 

photography or one of the many emerging 

digital-based careers. Places are limited, so 

students are encouraged to apply as soon as 

they can. 

Enrolments are Now Open, for a 

February start. Contact Trainme at their 

Addington campus for more information

REAL ESTATE 

Luxury waterfront residence - one of NZ’s finest homes 

145 Main Road, Redcliffs 

Price: $3,795,000 

4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 4 toilets | 3 living rooms | 1 dining room | 1 office/study | 3 car-garage | Listing Number: PI54988 

Rarely are we favoured with the 

opportunity to bring to the market a home 

of this quality and size within a prestigious 

neighbourhood, where luxury residences 

are few and far between. With all the 

earthquake repairs thoroughly completed 

the house is now insured with NZI ready 

for the next owners to enjoy its splendour. 

Epitomizing a cutting edge design, 

this striking home is a commitment to 

contemporary architectural language and 

unparalleled luxury. Designed by Stufkens 

+ Chambers Architects the home has 

perfectly encapsulated an ambience of 

timeless elegance, while forsaking nothing 

in practicality and functionality. 

With a rich floor area of 501sqm, the 

home built in 2010 is notable for the way 

in which it explores the three separate 

buildings joined by transparent links 

wrapped around an open courtyard 

to create a timeless, modern building, 

appropriate to its urban location. 

With precise planning and detailing it 

incorporates four bedrooms, several living 

areas, soundproof media room, mezzanine, 

study, gym, pool/spa, and an air conditioned 

wine cellar as well as triple car garaging. 

All with water views and effortless indooroutdoor 

flow, lighting and well thought out 

landscaping, it is the perfect result. 

The natural palette of materials and 

colours used throughout the home delivers 

on a promise of calm and clarity with oak 

timber veneer, timber flooring, exposed 

aggregate concrete walls, frosted glass 

and simple white interior. Inspections 

will reveal the full extent of the luxurious 

detailing. Automated roller blinds, localized 

air-conditioning, double-glazing, extensive 

underfloor heating, smart security and 

home automation system start a very long 

list of quality specifications. 

Located just a few minutes to either the 

city or the beach, with local amenities 

meaning you will never need to leave this 

pinnacle position 

The extravagance of this home requires 

new occupants and prudent purchasers 

will recognise that this is indeed a rare 

opportunity for a life that excites the senses. 

Adequate superlatives elude us, so we must 

make do with just two words - SEE IT!
