St Margaret’s giving back 

THE ST Margaret’s College 

school year has started on a 

charitable note. 

Staff have built 20 bicycles 

and donated them to Heart Kids 

families and also donated 150 

lunches to those in need through 

the Eat My Lunch initiative. 

Said St Margaret’s College 

principal Diana Patchett: “It was 

very emotional to see the pure 

joy on the children’s faces when 

they came to collect their bikes.” 

Parents of four-year-old heart 

child Harri Brown, Rod and Mel 

Brown said the generosity shown 

meant a lot to them and their 

son. “It’s overwhelming that the 

amazing people who work at St 

Margaret’s wanted to support 

Heart Kids NZ and our son Harri 

by assembling and gifting him 

a wonderful bike to ride with a 

cool helmet, lock and bandana. 

He loves it, thank you.” 

Heart Kids is the only New 

Zealand charity that provides 

support to those with congenital 

heart defects and childhood 

heart disease. 

Heart Kids regional family 

support co-ordinator Margaret 

Hewett-Hawker said: “Canterbury 

Heart Kids NZ are deeply 

moved and grateful for the kindness, 

generosity and thoughtfulness 

of the St Margaret’s staff for

supporting our heart children.” 

“Having the opportunity to 

support Heart Kids, endorsing 

philanthropy and generosity of 

spirit, while also providing our 

staff with a valuable team building 

experience was the perfect 

way to kick off the school year,” 

Mrs Patchett said. The school 

also supported the Eat My Lunch 

programme by giving each staff 

member an Eat My Lunch meal. 

“We traditionally all eat 

together at the beginning of the 

year and this year we decided to 

extend this by providing food to 

those who otherwise would be 

going hungry,” she said. 

With every lunch bought, the 

charity donates another to a 

child in need.

Zaras, Kates and twins at Rangi 

THREE SETS of twins, three 

Zaras and seven Kates are part 

of a full boarding house at 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School this 

year. 

Director of boarding Kyleigh 

Lyth said it’s been a fantastic 

first few days with the new 

girls arriving and the returning 

boarders catching up with their 

friends and housemates. 

“The weather has been 

fabulous,” said Mrs Lyth. “The 

programme has been a real 

hit with the girls. They have 

enjoyed pottery, an ice cream 

sundae parlour, a movie night, a 

visit to the gondola, and a walk 

finishing at Corsair Bay for a 

barbecue and swim.” 

Of the 138 girls in the house, 

there are 36 year 9 boarders and 

40 new girls. One of the points 

of difference about boarding at 

Rangi Ruru is the opportunity 

senior boarders have to “go 

flatting” within the boarding 

house. The older girls are 

looking forward to experiencing 

the extra independence this 

gives them. 

“They love it. As well as 

learning about budgeting and 

other important parts of living 

together, once a term the girls 

are encouraged to host a flat 

dinner party and are welcome 

to invite friends. At one last year 

I was lucky enough to attend, 

we had a wonderful Thai dinner 

in the flat. It’s a great way to 

introduce the girls to flatting 

while still having a full support 

network around them,” Mrs 

Lyth said. 

As the boarders settle in, 

there’s a lot of positive energy 

and talk bouncing around 

the walls of the Rangi Ruru 

boarding house.

NEW ZEALAND’S FAVOURITE AIR 

•From page 1 

Greenwood-Buchanan said she 

was “very privileged” to be asked 

back to work as Paige’s personal 

hairdresser, tour companion and 

personal assistant. 

“I think she likes me because 

we like a lot of the same things 

. . . the fact I can help her with 

her hair and make-up is a bit of a 

treat for her because she usually 

always does it herself. We just get 

on really well,” she said. 

While Greenwood-Buchanan 

was in charge of setting up 

Paige’s dressing room, she said 

the star preferred to get ready and 

decide what to wear by herself. 

She described Paige as a “classy 

lady” who knows how to make 

herself look a “million dollars.” 

“She is absolutely lovely. She 

is very down to earth, she has a

fantastic sense of humour. We 

have a lot of laughs,” Greenwood- 

Buchanan said. 

She said it was a “career 

highlight” to work with Paige. 

“I remember listening to her 

songs in the 80s . . . I was in awe 

of her voice, her presence and 

persona.” 

Touring with Paige in 2012 

“kicked off a massive career” 

for Greenwood-Buchanan who 

“didn’t really know” what she 

was going to do after 29 years as a 

hairdresser. 

She has since been involved 

in sourcing and styling wigs, 

hairdressing, make-up and 

managing wardrobes backstage 

for shows. Following her first 

tour with Paige, Greenwood- 

Buchanan was contacted by one 

of The Court Theatre’s leading 

directors and asked to work on 

wigs and hair backstage. 

“I haven’t looked back really. 

I have been contracted to do 

this work ever since . . . it is a 

whole new career,” she said. 

Greenwood-Buchanan has also 

led an exciting career on stage, 

playing the lead role of Velma 

Kelly in Showbiz Christchurch’s 

production of Chicago in 2008. 

She is also a co-director and 

co-performer in vocal trio The 

Starlets, and hopes to perform 

more for the public this year.

Students nuts and bolts about robots 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

BURNSIDE HIGH School 

students with a flair for 

electronics will take their own 

robot to a national competition. 

Aditi Sharma, Alisha Sangwan 

and Aarya Advilkar have spent 

hours joining wheels, axles, 

motors and gears to create their 

own robotic machine. 

But the hard work has paid 

off, with the students travelling 

to the Vex Robotics National 

Competition in Auckland later 

this month. 

The competition requires 

students to build and 

programme a robot, which 

will then undertake a series of 

challenges. 

The students have designed 

their robot to launch balls 

through a catapult design, go up 

onto platforms and flip flags. 

It is controlled by a remote 

controller. 

Aditi, 15, said it is an 

opportunity for them as they can 

meet other people who share the 

same interests. 

They have been working on 

building the robot since January 

last year and have spent time in 

their school holidays working on 

the project. 

BUILDERS: Burnside High School students Alisha Sangwan, Aditi Sharma and Aarya Advilkar will 

be taking their robot to the Vex Robotics National Competition 

Alisha, 13, said the students 

are hoping to earn a good 

placing in the competition. 

“Top 50 would be good, but the 

least would be getting experience 

and new ideas of what other 

OPTION ONE 

people think,” she said. 

All three students share an 

interest in electronics and how 

robotics could impact society in 

the future. 

Alisha said while she doesn’t 

think “robots are going to take 

over the world” learning about 

them is helpful if you want 

to go into different types of 

technology. 

She said the programming 

for the robot has similarities to 

science, technology, engineering 

and mathematics. 

Aarya, 14, said she “likes 

robotics so much” and thinks 

it will help her in the future as 

she is considering becoming an 

architect. 

“I like to plan ideas for the 

robots and how it can compete 

in the game and how it can fulfil 

the task within the game,” she 

said. 

Aditi said she is taking three 

technology subjects this year and 

is interested in pursuing a career 

in engineering. 

“I think robots would be a 

good part of society, they can 

help in so many ways. They can 

do things humans can’t,” she 

said. 

About 80 teams from around 

New Zealand are taking part in 

the event which aims to increase 

the awareness of robotics in 

school communities.

Bird nurse spreading her wings 

• By Matt Slaughter 

AFTER 20 years of caring for 

some of Christchurch’s most 

vulnerable, flying residents Jackie 

Stevenson is ready to spread her 

own wings. 

The 72-year-old Parklands 

resident says she’s on the lookout 

for someone who shares her love 

for birds to take her place nursing 

them back to health. 

Mrs Stevenson gave up her job 

as a nurse when she realised birds 

were her true passion. 

Since then, her home has been 

transformed into a bird rescue 

centre. 

However, Mrs Stevenson 

said the long days and sleepless 

nights, which came with caring 

for sick birds had taken their toll. 

“Each year I must admit, I 

think this has to be my last year.” 

“I’m getting older and each 

year’s getting harder. It’s quite 

physical work.” 

Mrs Stevenson said for all of 

the birds she had managed to 

save, many died in her care and it 

had made her job even harder. 

She said her decision to seek 

someone to take over her role had 

also been made for her husband. 

“He hates coming home and 

seeing me so tired, so I’ve got to 

think of him too.” 

Mrs Stevenson said she 

estimated that she had cared for 

about 200 birds last year. 

All of her work had been 

voluntary, with some financial 

support coming in the form of 

donations from the public. 

Mrs Stevenson received 

$100 in petrol vouchers a 

year from the Department of 

Conservation and dog and cat 

biscuits to mash up and feed to 

the birds from the SPCA and 

FLY AWAY: 

Jackie Stevenson

8-week-old 

wood pigeon. 

Dogwatch. 

She said cats were the main 

cause of injuries to birds. 

But recently the number of 

injuries caused by vehicles had 

increased. 

Mrs Stevenson said she had 

treated a number of species of 

birds. 

However, the number of native 

wood pigeons that had been 

brought to her with injuries was 

increasing. 

These birds most commonly 

received their injuries from flying 

into car windows. 

Amongst those also commonly 

in her care were New Zealand 

native fantails. 

As Mrs Stevenson continued 

to search for someone to train to 

take over her role, she said there 

were a few easy things people 

could do to make her job easier. 

“One of the main things is not 

picking birds up that don’t need 

to be picked up.” 

“With most birds, even if they 

can’t fly they can get up trees, 

they can get out of reach of cats.” 

She said it was about “knowing 

their needs and knowing when to 

intervene.” 

Mrs Stevenson said those who 

were interested in taking over 

from her could get in touch 

directly through the Bird Rescue 

Centres, part of New Zealand 

Bird Rescue Charitable 

Trust’s website www.birdrescue.

Positive steps to solve bus issue 

Environment Canterbury 

senior manager 

public transport 

Stewart Gibbon 

responds to the 

article last week 

about Diana 

Isaac Retirement 

Village residents’ 

transport issue 

Environment Canterbury 

introduced the idea of a Community 

Vehicle Trust for Diana Isaac 

Retirement Village in November 

and has had two conversations 

with Graham Tate and other 

residents on the matter, including 

the January meeting. Throughout 

Canterbury, where traditional 

scheduled public transport is 

unavailable, the Community Vehicle 

Trust model has proven to 

be highly successful in delivering 

accessible, flexible and affordable 

transport options to defined 

geographical communities. We 

are focused on identifying a solution 

that is sustainable and will 

meet the longer term needs of the 

residents. The transport needs 

of the residents, and the flexible, 

close proximity and community 

nature of the Community 

Vehicle Trust model appears to 

align well with the current and 

future transport needs of the 

residents. We are still exploring 

the viability of the option 

with the residents and Ryman 

Healthcare. However, discussions 

to date have been positive and 

focused on running a trial period 

of up to six months, to validate 

the feasibility of the idea in this 

specific urban context. ECan 

would provide support to the 

retirement village in setting up its 

Community Vehicle Trust, then 

all operational matters moving 

forward would be managed by 

the trust, such as determining 

vehicle size and type, destinations 

and trip times. Community 

Vehicle Trusts receive annual 

grant funding from ECan and 

the New Zealand Transport 

Agency, and obtain grant funding 

from other sources. They 

also receive funds from customer 

usage of the service to cover the 

cost of the journeys taken. These 

funding sources combined enable 

the trust to procure and manage 

their vehicles and associated 

administrative functions. 

OPTION: ECan is investigating a service to transport retirement 

village residents now that the Orbiter bus no longer stops 

outside the village.

Ratcliffe picks up three 

rookie awards in US 

TRIALIST: Ashlee Strawbridge hopes to represent New 

Zealand’s under-17 women’s team in New Caledonia in August. 

Basketballer trials 

for New Zealand 

RANGI RURU year 13 student 

Ashlee Strawbridge has been 

named to trial for the New 

Zealand under-17 basketball 

team. 

Seventy-five basketballers from 

across the country will attend 

the trials this week at the Bruce 

Pulman Arena in Auckland, 

before the team competes at the 

FIBA Oceania’s in Noumea, New 

Caledonia in August. The aim is 

to qualify for the FIBA Asia Cup. 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School 

director of sport Mandy Anderson 

said Ashlee is a standout 

performer and a player with huge 

future potential. 

“The under-17 group provides 

a large number of potential team 

members and that together with 

North Island dominance in basketball, 

really underlines Ashlee’s 

significant achievement being 

selected for trials.” 

Ashlee celebrated her 17th 

birthday the day she found out 

about her selection. 

She said she is “stoked” to be 

trialling. 

“I will be working and training 

with every bit of energy and drive 

I have to represent my country,” 

she said. The team to play in 

New Caledonia is expected to be 

named by March. 

FORMER St Bede’s College 

student Jake Ratcliffe is on a 

roll in the United States after 

recently picking up his third 

rookie of the week award 

playing ice hockey for Westfield 

State University. 

The 21-year-old became 

the first New Zealand man to 

play NCAA ice hockey when 

he joined Westfield State in 

Massachusetts in August. 

In his first season to date, 

Ratcliffe has tallied a 

team-leading nine goals. 

He also adding seven assists 

for a total of 16 points to be the 

second highest points scorer on 

the team. 

He scored three gamewinning 

goals, two of them in 

big conference games. 

“I love it. I was excited to get 

back into school after taking 

three years off to play junior 

hockey,” said Ratcliffe. 

“It’s been everything I 

expected and more . . . it’s been 

a lot of fun.” 

Ratcliffe’s breakout rookie 

season has also come to the 

delight of his coach. 

“We brought Jake in to be a 

point-producer and he exceeded 

our expectations,” said Westfield 

State coach Bob Miele. 

“He has a bright future ahead 

of him.” 

Ratcliffe – who is majoring in 

business at Westfield – made his 

New Zealand Ice Blacks debut at 

17-years-old and has spent time 

at the Canadian International

Centuries old folk remedy supports 

good health! 

A fermented liquid health 

tonic offers an array of 

powerful health benefits. It is 

none other than the popular 

apple cider vinegar or ACV. 

Since the time of Hippocrates – the “Father 

of Medicine” – ACV has been renowned for its 

curative properties. 

In his popular book “ARTHRITIS & FOLK 

MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis reports how he 

found that Vermonters who regularly consumed 

ACV and Honey had excellent health with 

many putting in a vigorous day’s work on the 

farm even when well into their eighties. He also 

noted the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be 

remarkable with many patients reporting almost 

total relief after taking a course of the 

mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that 

the acid and potassium in cider 

vinegar counteracted calcium 

deposits and helped the body 

control calcium use. He also noted 

that Vermonters who consumed 

ACV and H around meal time 

had excellent blood pressure and 

circulation. The reason he found 

was that protein foods thickened 

the blood and vinegar thinned it. 

As the blood thickens it cannot 

pass as easily and quickly through 

the blood vessels and capillaries. This 

poor blood flow would reduce cellular 

health by limiting nutrients to the cells 

as well as waste elimination from the cells. 

To prevent cell damage the body naturally 

increases blood pressure but this puts more stress 

on the blood vessels, organs and heart. Having 

ACV and H with meals will help prevent protein 

raising the blood pressure. It also contributes 

to a feeling of greater well-being because the 

thinner blood circulates quickly and more easily 

through the blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis found regular 

consumption of CV and H to be an excellent 

health tonic with numerous Health attributes. 

ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all the 

goodness of the apple in a form that is readily 

accepted by the bodyGood health starts with good 

digestion and assimilation of nutrients. ACV taken 

before food will stimulate and promote healthy 

digestion and assimilation of vital nutrients for 

good health. A well-functioning digestive system 

helps prevent disease by neutralising any toxic 

substances that enter the body. 

It is important to note not all ACV is produced 

in the traditional way and results are likely to 

prove disappointing with these other vinegars. 

Marshall’s Premium ACV & ACV with 20% 

Manuka Honey is produced in Canterbury from 

Organic whole apples in the traditional way. It is 

double strength so you can use less.

Snores for 22 years and has had a 98% 

success rate with 

people using the 

appliance. Snoring 

can be a health 

hazard, causing 

sleep apnoea, where 

the person actually 

stops breathing for 

short periods. 

It can cause 

short-term memory 

loss, tiredness and 

contribute to high 

blood pressure. 

The Snorex 

device does not feel 

restrictive, is noninvasive 

and carries 

a money-back 

guarantee. 

Many people are referred by ear, nose 

and throat specialists, however, anyone can 

phone for an appointment. 

For an information pack or to discuss 

the Snorex further, phone Denise Lim on 

377 4318 or check out the website

Collagen 

The Body’s Youth Protein 

Collagen is the primary protein in the 

body. It is a major component of skin, 

hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments, 

joint cartilage, bones, gums, teeth, eyes, 

and blood vessels. 

In fact collagen is the primary 

structural component for all tissue 

in the body, providing the strength 

and resilience associated with youth, 

beauty and wellness. The body’s natural 

collagen production decreases with 

age resulting in many signs of aging, 

such as flaccid skin, wrinkles, ligament 

and tendon injuries and aching joints. 

Collagen supplementation is one of 

the most fundamental things a person 

can do to prevent premature aging and 

promote youthful vitality. 

NEOCELL are the industry leaders 

in research on collagen supplementation. 

Through advanced research they have 

perfected a way to hydrolyse collagen and 

effectively reduce its molecular weight this 

improving the absorption of collagen into 

the blood stream by over 90%. 

A clinical study on NEOCELL 

COLLAGEN has shown skin hydration to 

increase an average of 21% and up to 50%, 

with 92% of test subjects experiencing 

firmer, softer skin. Most people taking 

NEOCELL COLLAGEN reported seeing 

visible improvements within two weeks. 

Collagen supplementation provides 

the nutrients necessary to support the 

body’s collagen supply. It can help reduce 

fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin 

elasticity, support building of strong bones 

and teeth, strengthen the nails and hair, 

and is vital for muscle growth, It also 

assists weight loss by helping burn fat 

for energy, promotes wound healing by 

supporting the regeneration of healthy 

tissue as well as help support overall 

health.
