HARD WORK on and off the 

rugby field is paying off for 

17-year-old David Ni. 

The Christchurch Boys’ High 

first XV blindside flanker will 

head to South Africa to play in 

the World Schools Festival next 

month. 

He has been mowing lawns, 

selling raffles and doing other 

odd jobs to help find $4500 to 

pay for his share of the trip. 

But mowing lawns and doing 

other jobs may soon take a back 

seat for David. A professional 

rugby career and the big money 

that goes with it is David’s goal 

and he may soon take his first 

steps towards that. 

David received a call from 

CBHS rugby master Mike 

Drury last week about “an agent 

who wanted to have a talk about 

playing rugby in Japan after 

high school.”

Bid to 

save bus 

service to 

retirement 

village fails 

• By Matt Slaughter 

A MAIREHAU retirement village’s 

11-month battle with Environment 

Canterbury to save their bus 

service has been lost. 

ECan says it has “run out of 

ideas” for a compromise, which 

would satisfy residents and staff 

at Diana Isaac Retirement Village 

after their Orbiter service was cut 

last month. 

The Pegasus Post reported last 

month ECan had raised the idea 

of trialling a service to transport 

retirement village residents to bus 

stops and locations they can no 

longer access. 

The vehicle would have been run 

by a trust and volunteers from the 

village. 

Village resident Graham Tate 

had supported the idea but said 

residents had decided this would 

have simply been too much work at 

their stage in life. 

“An email survey of about 20 per 

cent of the independent residents 

within this village made it clear 

that there is very little support for 

the proposed ECan Village Vehicle 

Community Trust model.” Mr Tate 

said.

IT’S THAT time of the year again – the 

countdown to the City2Surf. 

This year’s instalment will be the 45th 

time the iconic event has been held. 

Thousands upon thousands of 

Cantabrians have ran, walked, 

skateboarded, pushed prams and hobbled to the line over the 

decades. 

On pages 6-7 today, we talk to some of the people who will 

take part this year. 

The City2Surf is not a race – but many do consider it that, and 

that’s fine. Being first across the line is a great incentive. 

For others, taking on the City2Surf can be the start or end of 

a personal goal from a fitness perspective or just to say I’ve done 

it. With two distances, it’s an event for everyone.

$11m Belfast campus gets go ahead 


BELFAST SCHOOL’S new 

$11 million senior campus off 

Johns Rd has been given the 

green light and is expected to be 

finished in 2021. 

The new campus is 

part of the Ministry of 

Education’s Christchurch 

Schools Rebuild programme. It 

will be built within 1km of the 

current school site 

on Main North Rd, 

which is also set 

to get a $4 million 

upgrade. 

The population of 

Belfast is expected 

Sue Elley 

to double from 

7500 to 15,000 

by 2041, which 

principal Sue Elley said was the 

“catalyst” for the upgrade. “Each 

year our role has been increasing 

and it’s expected to keep 

growing,” said Mrs Elley. 

She said the decision followed 

a “very positive” consultation 

process last year to decide 

whether the preferred option 

was a two-campus model for the 

existing school or an entirely 

new school. 

“As a community, Belfast has 

a strong identity and we think 

that having a school on two 

sites is the best option for our 

community rather than having 

CAMPUS: Belfast School’s growing roll means its Main North Rd site is no longer big 

enough so an additional campus will be built off Johns Rd. 

two schools that would be 

competing against each other,” 

said Mrs Elley. 

The new senior campus for 

year 5-8 pupils will be built on a 

new site north of Johns Rd. The 

Main North Rd site will become 

the junior campus for year 1-4 

pupils. 

“To future-proof both sites, 

we anticipate that each campus 

will be master-planned so that 

they could accommodate up to 

600 students in the long-term,” 

said a Ministry of Education 

spokesperson. 

Mrs Elley is excited about the 

new development and said she 

will be working closely with the 

ministry, school staff and the 

board of trustees to ensure the 

build runs smoothly. 

“Our intention is that we will 

be very strongly remaining as 

one school, but we will have the 

advantage of having different 

types of resources that the 

children can use at either site.” 

An education brief discussing 

the development will be 

produced and distributed to the 

public before the planning and 

design stage begins.

upgrades is now under way. 

This will include work on the 

change rooms, toilets, reception 

foyer and café and it is expected 

that these will be completed in 

April 2019. Phase one, which 

included reopening the outdoor 

pools and the hydroslide was 

completed in December. 

COMMUNITY HUB 

The old Plunket Rooms

Retirement village introduces 

taxi and car sharing scheme 

•From page 1 

“Personally, I think the Village 

Community Vehicle Trust 

concept could well work in a 

village where residents’ ages were 

younger than here,” Mr Tate said. 

Ryman Healthcare spokesman 

David King said the age of 

residents had ultimately 

been behind its decision 

to not support the 

vehicle trust idea. 

“We think that 

creating a trust, which 

required our residents 

to drive, roster, and take 

full responsibility for 

their own scheduled 

Graham Tate 

transport service, placed a large 

and unfair burden on them.” 

Both Mr Tate and Ryman 

Healthcare were now again 

calling ECan to re-route the No 

44 bus service to take it along 

Philpotts Rd and closer to the 

village. However, ECan senior 

manager of public transport 

Stewart Gibbon said Philpotts 

Rd could only be accessed from 

one end. Ryman Healthcare had 

offered to provide a portion of its 

land for a bus turnaround area to 

make the detour smooth. 

Mr Gibbon said this would 

require the construction of “a 

physical piece of infrastructure 

to be built to enable a bus to do a 

U-turn at the end of the street.” 

This would cost $100,000 and 

this, combined with the time it 

would take to construct, meant 

ECan did not see this as a good 

option, Mr Gibbon said. 

He said re-routing the No 44 

also did not align with ECan’s 

regional public transport plan. 

“We’ve run out of ideas. 

We’ve offered alternatives and 

we haven’t been able to implement 

those alternatives, so 

there’s really not much to do.” 

Mr Tate said he and other 

residents were hugely upset 

with ECan’s stance on this. 

“Our feeling is that ECan 

is unwilling to offer any accessible 

bus service to the village. 

Residents believe this is an unacceptable 

position. It seems incredible 

that probably the largest 

concentration of residents in the 

locality and perhaps the most in 

need of public transport should 

have that access taken away.” 

From March, Ryman Healthcare 

will be operating a village 

taxi and car share scheme to 

make sure residents can still 

get around. One will be used 

as a bookable taxi, which will 

be available to get residents to 

and from appointments using a 

Ryman-employed driver who has 

a passenger licence. The second 

will be available for residents who 

can drive themselves. 

Stickers warn off doorknockers 


BISHOPDALE residents fed-up 

with door-to-door salespeople 

will soon have a simple 

solution. Every home in the 

area is about to receive a ‘do not 

knock’ sticker. 

The campaign was launched 

by Consumer NZ to educate 

people about their rights when 

avoiding unwanted salespeople 

and mobile truck shops. 

Over the next few weeks, 

residents can expect a newsletter 

from the Bishopdale Community 

Trust which will include 

a sticker and information 

about the campaign from 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board member 

Aaron Campbell. 

A recent law change, which is 

set to come into force in 2020, 

will mean traders who ignore 

the stickers will be fined up to 

$10,000 and the company which 

they represent may be liable for 

up to $30,000. But, until then, 

traders are still expected to take 

the stickers seriously. 

Bishopdale Community Trust 

co-ordinator Chris Coles said he 

was ‘more than happy’ to work 

with Mr Campbell to get the 

word out. 

“In our demographic, we 

have a lot of older people and a 

lot of young families and they 

are two particular groups that 

DON’T KNOCK: Chris Coles has helped with the distribution of 

Consumer NZ’s campaign stickers in Bishopdale. 

are vulnerable to door-to-door 

salespeople,” said Mr Coles. 

Mr Campbell started pushing 

hard for the distribution of 

stickers after he received a 

number of requests for them 

following a Facebook post, 

mainly from young mothers 

tired of the “intrusion” from 

traders who were hard to say 

no to. As well as helping with 

the newsletters, Mr Campbell 

has been dropping stickers and 

information packs at libraries 

and delivering them to houses in 

other areas such as Bryndwr. 

Since 2014, more than 550,000

stickers have been distributed to 

consumers nationwide. 

A Consumer NZ survey 

showed 70 per cent of its 

members disliked door-to-door 

salespeople and wanted them 

to stop. More than 60 per cent 

labelled them “annoying” and 

“intrusive.”

Concern over cycleway plans 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

BUSINESSES AND residents 

could be hit hard by a major 

realignment of a street in 

Riccarton to make way for a 

cycleway. 

The removal of on-street carparking, 

cul-de-sacs, intersection 

changes and the shifting of 

bus stops could be on the cards 

for Elizabeth St as part of a $39 

million cycleway. 

The changes are part of the 

city council’s proposed South 

Express Major Cycle Route 

which will run from Templeton 

through to the central city. 

The route will travel through 

Hornby, Hei Hei, Sockburn, Upper 

Riccarton and Riccarton. 

The potential changes have 

sparked concerns for those in 

the area. 

The city council is calling for 

public feedback on the proposal, 

which is the next stage in the 

$252 million major cycleway 

programme. 

Tony Pearson, owner of 

Hamilton Motors (1995), which 

is located on Elizabeth St near 

Matipo St, said the proposed 

loss of car parks is going to affect 

his business. 

“It will affect my income, it 

might affect my employment 

. . . there are only three of us 

POTENTIAL CHANGES: Residents and businesses are 

concerned over the proposed changes to Elizabeth St to make 

way for the South Express Major Cycle Route. 

now. Realistically it could go 

down to two,” he said. 

On-street parking spaces are 

due to be reduced at the Matipo 

St intersection along with shortterm 

parking and loading zones 

installed. 

Mr Pearson said he can fit 

eight cars onto the property and 

a further six cars in the work 

shop. 

“That is not enough. We are 

turning around more cars than 

that. We need the accessibility 

of putting cars on the road,” he 

said. 

Division St dairy owner Rae 

Wang is also worried she will 

lose business due to the changes. 

“We think it is a waste of our 

taxpayer money. It is not necessary 

and not many people will 

use it,” she said. 

But city council planning 

and delivery transport manager 

Lynette Ellis said the anticipated 

cycle volumes using the Riccarton 

section of the cycleway is 

1900 per day. 

A Riccarton Community 

Church spokesman said it is 

still gathering information but 

it does have concerns about the 

likely impact of the changes. 

Nearly 1000 people use the 

church’s facilities throughout 

the week for services, playgroups, 

craft groups and its fruit 

and vege co-op. 

It averages about 370 people 

for its weekly Sunday services. 

Central Riccarton Residents’ 

Association acting chairwoman 

Joscelyne Silcock said it is positive 

for residents to be able to 

come out of their door and go 

onto a cycleway. 

But she said she hasn’t decided 

if she is for or against the cycleway 

due to car parking being 

a problem in the area. 

“I can see cycleways being a 

positive but then I am thinking 

of all this money and there are 

still parts of the city that really 

haven’t had their fair share since 

the earthquakes,” Mrs Silcock 

said. 

The CRRA will be making a 

submission on the issue.

Ice skaters 

raise $10k for 

Cure Kids 

HUNDREDS OF ice skaters have 

helped raise more than $10,000 

for Cure Kids. 

The Alpine Ice Sports Centre 

donated an entire day’s takings 

and donations from customers to 

the child health research charity. 

The money will go towards 

medical research to help improve, 

extend and save the lives of Kiwi 

kids living with serious illnesses 

and conditions. 

Alpine Ice manager Finn 

O’Leary said the team was 

thrilled to raise so much for Cure 

Kids research and felt the day had 

been an amazing team-building 

exercise for staff. 

The event saw a record number 

of customers visit the ice rink 

– the highest in one day since it 

first opened 33 years ago. 

Cure Kids chief executive 

Frances Benge said the generosity 

of the Alpine Ice team was 

overwhelming. 

“To think Alpine Ice donated 

their entire day’s takings to Cure 

Kids . . . is just so heart-warming. 

The money they raised will help 

make a difference to the child 

health research we are supporting 

to find preventative strategies, 

treatments and, one day, cures 

our children need, “ he said.

both walking and 

jogging and it’s 

just a challenge.” 

Mrs McInnes goes jogging twice 

a week.She likes to explore the 

Harry Ell Walkway, Sign of the 

Kiwi, Sign of the Takahe and 

Godley Head tracks. “Often in 

the past, I have walked with 

friends. A friend of mine is 

walking the 6km and then we 

will have a coffee afterwards,” she 

said. 

Josiah Beach, 30, Anna 

Beach, 30, and Ezra Beach, 

16 – The trio will take on the 

14km event this year. Husband 

and wife, Josiah and Anna, have 

completed the event a handful 

of times previously, but it will be 

Ezra’s first time doing the 14km. 

“He’s just brought some new 

RIVALRY: Ezra, Anna and Josiah Beach. (Right) – Geoff 

Sutton and Angela Penn. 

running shoes especially for it,” 

said his older brother Josiah, who 

has run up Rapaki Track a couple 

of times to prepare. “I think I’ll 

really get started on my training 

next month.” Mrs Beach ran her 

first City2Surf in 2009, when 

training for a half marathon and 

“never looked back.” 

Angela Penn, 49, 

and Geoff Sutton, 42 – The 

brother and sister duo aren’t 

letting the fact they are getting 

older slow the down. The pair 

are running the 6km event in the 

City2Surf together. “I’m going to 

be 50-years-old soon, I might as 

well keep going while I am still 

standing and don’t have many 

injuries,” said Mrs Penn. Back 

in October, the pair ran in the 

Pegasus Fun Run 6km event and 

hope to run the 10km event at the 

Christchurch Marathon in June. 

They are both driven by the hope 

that one day they might have 

grandchildren, who they would 

like to be fit and healthy for. “It’s 

more about getting out there and 

enjoying it. I am really looking 

forward to spending some time 

with my brother, it’s good to hang 

out,” Mrs Penn. 

Roger Comber, 70 – Back 

in his youth, Mr Comber took 

part in two halfmarathons 

in 

Ashburton and 

Timaru. Now 

retired from his 

job as an english 

Roger 

Comber 

teacher, he said 

he has decided 

to get back into 

running. He enjoys running 

around the streets near where he 

lives and often goes to Les Mills 

gym to stay in shape. “I like the 

City2Surf because it is an easy 

distance and it’s a popular run to 

take part in.” 

James Ferguson, 32, 

Harewood – Mr Ferguson 

will take on the 14km event in 

the City2Surf. It will be his first 

time doing the event and he 

admits he’s a “first-time runner,” 

opting to keep fit 

through rugby 

and other sport. 

The event will 

help him prepare 

for more running 

later in the year 

James 

Ferguson 

when he takes on 

the Buller Gorge 

half marathon 

and the Saint Clair Vineyard 

half marathon in Blenheim. 

He is enjoying his training – 

somewhat. “It’s a fair distance 

the 14km, but I’ve got to get fit 

somehow.” Before and after work 

a couple of times a week, Mr 

Ferguson has been challenging 

himself to run distances 

between 10km and 14km. He 

will accompanied by a group of 

friends who will also run in the 

event next month. 

Pauline De Wit, 66 – Mrs 

De Wit isn’t keen to slow down 

anytime soon. Previously, she 

has run the 6km event in the 

City2Surf but next month she 

decided to “push the boat out” 

and do the 14km 

run. “I felt I could 

have gone further 

so I am keen to 

try the 14km. 

I have seen the 

wonderful sense 

Pauline 

De Wit 

of achievement 

gained from an 

event such as 

this and wanted 

to be part of it . . . I am getting 

older and I want to achieve 

something like this before age 

takes me over.” Mrs De Wit has 

been training with her friend Jill, 

who she has done the event with 

before. The pair enjoy after-work 

walks around the Burwood 

Wetlands. “The Wetlands takes 

approximately 40 minutes, plus 

walks at the weekend along the 

Heathcote River. Also due to the 

hot weather I have been enjoying 

swimming at Corsair Bay, 

Magazine Bay and at Sumner.”

TRAINING: Meg Longley 

and Josh Stevenson will 

attend a debate training 

programme this month. 

Developing top high 

school debaters 


TWO YEAR 13 debaters from 

the north-west have been 

selected for a South Island 

development programme this 

month. 

Belfast’s Meg Longley and Josh 

Stevenson of Burnside have been 

selected to attend two weekend 

training camps, along with another 

Christchurch student and 

three from Otago. 

After the programme Meg, 

who attends St Andrew’s College, 

and Josh, who goes to Christ’s 

College, will go head-to-head for 

their schools in the regional debating 

competition at Canterbury 

University next month. 

They were chosen by the 

Canterbury Schools’ Debating 

Council after a selection process 

which monitored their abilities 

throughout past competitions 

Greater Christchurch National 

MPs enjoyed getting out on 

Monday and reconnecting with 

the people who work so hard for 

our region. We met with a range 

of organisations from Canterbury 

Police to Regenerate Christchurch 

to ChristchurchNZ. As I often say, it’s 

only when MPs are working on the 

ground that we can see the impact 

larger issues have on people’s 

daily lives and it’s important to stay 

connected. 

Waitangi Day brought our 

communities together in the spirit 

that has made New Zealand the 

envy of other countries. The traits 

we value as New Zealanders, such 

as our distinctive national identity 

and respect for diversity, hold as true 

today. I’ve begun my own Te Reo 

Maori journey and enjoyed a greater 

understanding this year of our Maori 

tikanga. I encourage you on your 

own Te Reo journey. 

Constituents looking to purchase 

their first home are losing confidence 

they will be getting the keys soon 

through Government’s KiwiBuild 

and debates. Meg and Josh both 

discovered a passion for debating 

in year 9 and have competed 

against each in several different 

competitions. 

They will work together for the 

first time at the development programme, 

going over a range of 

articles about different political 

issues and topics with coaches to 

develop their skills. 

“It’s important to be aware of 

issues so that when we can vote 

we know what’s going on,” said 

Meg. 

Josh said he enjoys debating 

social issues that challenge him 

and make him think. Both are 

looking at their options for 

university next year. Meg said she 

wants to study law at either Otago 

or Canterbury university, and 

Josh has his sights set on Victoria 

University. 

SPORTS 

initiative following the Housing 

Minister’s admission they will be 

going back to the drawing board on 

this one. 

This comes after Government 

spectacularly missed its first-year 

target to have 1,000 homes built 

by July. First we saw that number 

downgraded to 300 – and now 

interim targets have been scrapped 

altogether. So far, only 47 homes 

have been built – amid discouraging 

reports of buyers pulling out and 

the homes being sold on the open 

market instead of going back in the 

ballot. National has always said 

the way to build more houses is to 

release more land and speed up the 

consent process, and we proved 

this after the earthquakes. Added to 

this was our KiwiSaver HomeStart 

scheme, which allowed people to 

withdraw from their Kiwisaver funds 

and gifted them an up to $10,000 

grant towards their deposit. The 

results? Between April 2016 and 

March 2017, 315 HomeStart grants 

were approved just in Waimakariri 

electorate. The figures speak for 

themselves. 

ROWING, HOCKEY and 

cycling have featured in the 

achievements of talented Rangi 

Ruru sportswomen. 

First XI hockey players 

Brittany Wang and Anneka 

Calder were invited to play 

for an invitational team against 

the Great Britain women’s 

team. 

Brittany scored a goal 

in the penalty shoot-out 

at the end of the game 

However, Anneka wasn’t able 

to play due to rowing 

commitments. 

Rangi Ruru director of sport 

Mandy Anderson said it was 

a real honour for both girls to be 

asked to play. 

“It was an extremely exciting 

opportunity to play against the 

current Olympic champions,” 

she said. 

Meanwhile cyclist Charlotte 

Spurway picked up the 

Canterbury track cycling record 

for the under-17 2km individual 

pursuit. 

On the water at the South 

Island rowing club champs at 

Lake Ruataniwha, Rangi Ruru

Fresh produce a drawcard 

for over three decades 

For 33 years now, customers from across 

Christchurch have enjoyed the fresh flavours, 

the quality and the very competitive prices of 

the fruit, vegetables, dairy products and honey 

offered at vegeland in Marshland Road. 

One of the last remaining market garden 

businesses in the area, it has also been under the 

same ownership since it started, and the team 

now includes fifth-generation family members. 

as well as growing and selling produce, 

vegeland purchases fresh items from the market 

every morning, and has built up a strong 

relationship 

based on trust 

with the market 

operators, owner 

Tony Kiesanowski 

says. 

vegeland’s 

delicious, fresh 

fruit ice-cream is always a popular choice 

with customers, while a recent development 

at vegeland has been the introduction of topquality 

meats from elite Meats of the Bush Inn 

Centre, with the mobile truck on-site at vegeland 

every Saturday and Sunday. 

“This has been very well received by our 

customers,” Tony says, “and there will be more 

exciting developments at vegeland within the 

next couple of months, so watch this space.”

ITF title for up-and-coming 

Bishopdale tennis player 

• By Gordon Findlater 

Tuesday February 12 2019 

PROMISING YOUNG gun 

Reece Falck has won his first 

junior International Tennis 

Federation title. 

The Bishopdale men’s 

premier player teamed up with 

Australian partner Cooper 

White to win the doubles title 

at the Tennis Canterbury ITF 

competition. 

Falck, 16, and White didn’t 

drop a set on their way to the 

final at Wilding Park, which 

they took out 6-4, 6-4 against 

the unseeded Australian pair of 

Enzo Aguiard and Haru Sonton. 

The No 3 seeded pair had a 

bye in the first round before 

defeating Pedro Papangelis and 

Chris Zhang 6-3, 7-6 in the 

second round. They accounted 

for Japanese duo Rui Katogi and 

Gaku Moriya 6-2, 7-6 in the 

third round. 

They then swept aside 10th 

seed pair, Ayato Arakaki 

from Japan and Junyi Tang 

from Australia, 6-2, 6-2 in the 

quarter-final. In the semi-final, 

they met Japanese No 1 seeded 

pair Taiyo Hirano and Ryoma 

Matsushita 6-2, 6-3. 

The 45 junior ITF ranking 

points Falck received for the 

doubles victory is his biggest 

haul from an event to date and 

moved him to a career high 

world OPTION junior ONE ranking of 584. 

TALENTED: Reece Falck won his first junior ITF title in the 

doubles at Wilding Park. (Below) – Abby Mason gained her 

first ITF ranking points after two wins in the singles. 

Falck also competed in the 

singles at Wilding Park, but was 

defeated in the first round by 


Australian Philip Sekulic 1-6, 

6-7. 

There was also success at the 

tournament for 15-year-old 

Elmwood player Abby Mason 

who picked up her first ITF 

points after collecting two wins 

in the singles. 

Abby defeated 16th seed 

Amy Stevens from Australia 

in the first round 7-6, 6-4. She 

then beat China’s Zijun Jiang 

5-7, 6-2, 6-3 before falling to 

17-year-old Holly Stewart from 

Auckland 6-3, 2-6, 1-6 in the 

round of 16.

Mr Drury said he has 

watched David’s skills progress 

throughout high school. 

“David’s a very good player, 

he’s very tough and abrasive,” 

said Mr Drury. 

“One of our 

contacts will 

sit down with David 

and his father to 

discuss things and see 

whether it could be 

a possibility for next 

year,” said Mr Drury. 

This will be David’s 

second year playing 

at the World Schools 

Festival. 

The festival at 

Stellenbosch in the Western 

Cape province will host 10 of 

the top rugby playing schools 

from South Africa and 10 of the 

best school teams from around 

the world. 

David said the trip will be 

a “good opportunity to get 

SPORTS 

David’s hard 

work is about 

to pay off 

Mike Drury 


to know the team and really 

connect with them before the 

actual season starts.” 

He said his love for rugby 

started 10 years ago when he 

began playing for the Merivale 

Papanui as a seven-year-old. 

He said his dedication 

to the sport is fuelled 

by his “camaraderie 

with the boys” and 

an interest in contact 

sports. 

“I’ve always found 

it a hobby, it’s just 

something I really like 

doing,” said David. 

David and his team 

have held raffles, a race 

night, a spud sale and 

a presentation night with Steve 

Hansen, which raised about 

$45,000. 

David also received a $350 

grant from the Fendalton-

Community Board as part of its 

youth development fund.

Gold Real Estate Group Ltd. 

Let’s enjoy 2019! 

and be a little more 

green and mindful 

Happy 2019. I’ve learnt that most people fit into 

two camps when it comes to acknowledging a 

New Year and the concept of setting New Years 

resolutions. They either embrace them and jump 

in with the zeal of someone slightly demented( 

I’m probably in that camp) or they sideline the 

opportunity, comfortable in the knowledge that the 

year will be what it will be and that no amount of 

forced change,good intent or actions can be carried 

out for 12 whole months on a wish alone. 

In fact an American survey conducted in 2018 

found that up to 32% of people don’t set any 

form of resolution at all seeing little value in 

the process and no likelihood of an outcome. 

I’ve never been able to see things through 

the lens of relax, breathe then wait and see 

but I’m aware that for some individuals that 

is a positive choice, however in business this 

could see you falter. Things change, markets 

move either up or down, client expectations 

grow, technology progresses forward and 

expectations get bigger year on year. 

A new year gives you the chance to really take 

stock, to review where you’ve been, I always 

do this with someone I trust implicitly, and 

then work out where you want to go. 

You can consider the challenges, the game 

changes, the small wins and the larger 

victories. They will all be there and each of 

“Carry out a random 

act of kindness, with no 

expectation of reward, safe 

in the knowledge that one 

day someone might 

do the same for you” 

PRINCESS DIANA 

these will provide great insights as to what 

comes next. That’s where the resolutions come in 

or they do for me. Statistically the most common 

resolutions involve : weight loss ( been there) 

and let’s face it who hasn’t, eat healthier (another 

tick)exercise, read more, make more, save more 

it’s always something more. Bill Gates once said “ 

most people overestimate what they can do in a 

year and underestimate what they can do in ten”. 

This year personally and in business I’m mindful 

of the word and nature of less. 

As a company it’s got us focused on some of the 

finer aspects of less. 

Less paper, less waste, less stress, more 

community involvement, and more mindfulness. 

I’m looking forward to it and I’m heartened by the 

fact all of us are aware of the need to be kinder 

to ourselves, our community and our planet. So 

those are some of my resolutions but I couldn’t 

go into 2019 with out some of the old favourites 

(which I’ll keep to myself )but I will finally give 

up on backing a trailer or worse the boat!! No 

amount of intention will change the fact that 

I’m terrible! 

Whatever school you subscribe to all the best for 

2019, it will be no surprise that the year will be 

what ever You expect it to be.

KIDSTUFF 

Cathedral Grammar Pre-School 

located within the heart of the city 

Our play based learning 

approach supports your child 

as they begin their exciting 

journey as a lifelong learner. 

Play, laughter and learning are essential 

ingredients for a successful Pre-School 

education. The crucial early years need to 

be nurtured, shaped and cherished as your 

child takes their first steps in education. 

Cathedral Grammar Pre-School proudly 

teaches the children of tomorrow, today. 

At Cathedral Grammar Pre-School your 

whole family is welcomed into the wider 

embrace of the Grammar community 

including whole school fun and functions, 

services and support as well as smooth 

transition to the Junior School and links to 

the Prep School. 

In Cathedral Grammar’s purpose built 

Pre-School, taught by qualified teachers, 

your child will discover by curiosity, 

investigation and exploration. Our low 

child/teacher ratios, ensure your child’s 

quality individual and group learning. 

Research states that play may be the 

single most important things that humans 

do. “Our play based learning approach 

supports your child as they begin their 

exciting journey as a lifelong learner” says 

Principal Scott Thelning. 

Your child will develop essential 

foundations in literacy and numeracy. He 

or she will enjoy the benefits of specialised 

facilities, subjects and staff including Art, 

Physical Education, Yoga and Chapel. 

When children feel good about 

themselves and their abilities, they are able 

to take flight and explore, discover, take 

risks and play, laugh and learn effectively 

and successfully. “Self-esteem is at the core 

of this development process” Thelning 

says. 

Being an inner city Pre-School gives 

you a wonderfully easy opportunity to 

engage in your child’s learning if you are 

working in the CBD. Every opportunity 

is taken to utilise our central city location 

to extend our ‘campus’ from the Botanic 

Gardens to the Canterbury Museum, 

The Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o 

Waiwhetu to the Christchurch Transitional 

Cathedral, from Tūranga (Christchurch 

central library) to the emergency services. 

Every day is an open day at Cathedral 

Grammar Pre-School. Contact the

this home will be a delight to live in. 

Your privacy is assured with the classic hedge 

fencing that creates a quiet oasis to enjoy your 

lovely garden and patio.

between a charming lounge to settle down in or 

carry on down past the kitchen to your living/ 

dining room with its own patio to enjoy a coffee 

and croissant each morning. 

Upstairs you will find three double bedrooms, 

the master with ensuite and the family 

bathroom. All tastefully furnished - no need to 

do any renovations here before you move in. 

Located only a few minutes from the Airport 

and with the large shopping complex opposite 

Northwood you have everything you need right 

on your doorstep. 

The easy care garden will leave your weekends 

free for hobbies, and this home would make an 

ideal lock up and leave for extended holidays, 

safe in the knowledge that you are in a secure 

location.

By now, landlords, property managers 

and most tenants will be aware of the 

changes to the Residential Tenancy Act 

concerning home insulation, requiring all 

rental properties to have adequate ceiling 

and under floor insulation installed, where 

practicable, by 30 June 2019. 

However, many landlords and property 

managers may not be aware they could be 

liable for a $4,000 fine (per non-compliant 

property), payable to the tenants, if their 

investment properties do not meet the 

standard in time. With an estimated 125,000 

rental properties still requiring better 

insulation, these owners and property 

managers are being urged to take action now 

to avoid the impending rush. 

Local long-established insulation specialists 

EnergySmart are a selected service 

provider for the government’s EECA (Energy 

Efficiency and Conservation Authority) 

insulation programme, and currently offer 

both landlords and homeowners great 

savings to better insulate their properties. 

The company offers free property 

assessments with an insulation Compliance 

Certificate for the property if the existing 

insulation already complies. If insulation 

is required, they provide a Compliance 

Report and quote to complete the work. 

Extended home energy assessments are 

also available, covering heat pumps and LED 

lights if required. 

EnergySmart are one of the largest 

manufacturers and installers of insulation 

products in New Zealand and supply a 

range of home solutions including their 

own insulation brands Terra Lana wool and 

PolyKing polyester, as well as supplying Pink 

Batts fibreglass insulation. All carry a 50 

year warranty. 

Their installers are fully trained, clean 

and tidy, and their work is audited both 

internally as well as by the government, so 

you are assured of the highest standard of 

workmanship. 

EnergySmart has easy payment options 

including no deposit and 36 months 

interest free, meaning you can insulate your 

property from only $12 per week. Landlords 

can insulate now, take advantage of current 

discounts, and beat the rush. 

While insulation in rental properties is now 

a legal requirement for landlords, they will 

also have the satisfaction of knowing their 

tenants are living in a warmer healthier, more 

energy-efficient home, and consequently 

are more likely to stay. 

To enquire about a free property 

assessment and insulation options, 

contact EnergySmart.
