Kyle Park 

vote 

looms 

today 


COMMUNITY board members 

will vote in favour of reclassifying 

part of Kyle Park which will help 

pave the way for the Hornby mega 

facility to be built there. 

Vicki Buck, Anne Galloway, 

Jimmy Chen and Natalie Bryden 

told Western News they are in 

favour of the reclassification. 

The Hornby-Halswell-Riccarton 

Community Board will meet 

today to vote on the issue. 

If the reclassification of the park 

is approved by the board it will 

then go to the city council 

But board chairman Mike Mora 

and member Ross McFarlane 

refused to show their hand before 

today’s meeting. 

Said Mr Mora: “If anybody is 

saying before the matter is being 

moved and seconded and debated 

they are actually out of line.” 

Mr McFarlane said it would 

“prejudice process if I was to comment” 

before the meeting. 

Board deputy chairwoman 

Helen Broughton and members 

Debbie Mora and Catherine 

Chu did not respond to Western 

News.

ANOTHER STEP in the long winded 

Hornby mega centre saga happens today. 

The Hornby-Halswell-Riccarton Community 

Board votes over whether to 

reclassify Kyle Park. If that happens the 

city council then makes the full decision on its reclassification, 

which effectively would pave way for the mega centre to be built 

there. 

Like Denton Park, now no longer an option for the site, there 

are those for and against Kyle Park. 

Western News reporter Georgia O’Connor-Harding canvassed 

the nine community board members to see how they would 

vote today. 

Four responded and two of those said they wouldn’t disclose 

their views until today’s meeting. No word from the other three.

Halswell bottle store plan shelved 


A LIQUOR company has pulled 

its plan to open an off-licence 

store in Halswell’s Ensign St. 

Bottle-O Halswell Ltd 

director and shareholder Wendy 

Gibbons told Western News it 

has cancelled its contract to 

purchase a shop in The Oaks 

Village Halswell complex. 

The company was granted 

an application 

to open an offlicence 

liquor 

store at 29 Ensign 

St in December. 

However, 

the Halswell 

Residents’ 

John 

Bennett 

Association 

appealed the 

decision to 

the Alcohol Regulatory and 

Licensing Authority last month. 

The application made by 

Mrs Gibbons and her husband, 

Richard, received 37 objections 

along with five petitions 

containing 32 signatures in 

opposition to the store. 

City council head of regulatory 

compliance Tracey Weston said 

the alcohol licensing team has 

had no formal communication 

that the application has been 

withdrawn. “The application 

remains under appeal unless 

formally withdrawn by the 

applicant,” she said. 

The Oaks Village Halswell 

developer Roger Bridge would 

not comment on whether the 

contract to purchase the bottle 

store has been cancelled. 

Residents’ association 

chairman John Bennett 

described the news as “a bolt of 

lightning.” 

He said it was getting 

organised for the appeal but the 

hearing wasn’t until late May. 

“The community was 

definitely not in favour of the 

bottle store. If that is the case 

they will be very happy,” Mr 

Bennett said. 

Mrs Gibbons said if the 

application had proceeded 

she would have appealed the 

opening hours of 9am-11pm 

daily. Mrs Gibbons said it 

was very satisfying to see the 

application was granted, and 

HALT: 

Bottle-O 

has 

decided 

not to 

open at 

the The 

Oaks 

Village 

Halswell 

complex. 

the initial licence and ruling 

acknowledged they are good 

operators. The decision granting 

the application said Mr and Mrs 

Gibbons had the experience to 

safely sell alcohol. 

“The information we received 

from a notable solicitor said 

that the majority of problems 

presented into evidence were 

related to an on-licence and The 

Quarry Bar & Bistro, not an offlicence,” 

she said.

In Brief 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

TEMPLETON FIRES 

KiwiRail’s investigation into a 

series of vegetation fires around 

Templeton earlier this month 

shows they were likely caused by 

a train. KiwiRail has apologised 

for the impact of the fires and is 

taking steps to reduce the risk. 

This will include identifying and 

preventing vegetation fires near 

train tracks, limiting the power 

of locomotives, lowering speeds 

and dampening areas beside the 

train tracks. 

DRIVEWAY SAFETY 

Non-for-profit organisation 

Parent to Parent is launching an 

initiative at Bunnings Warehouse 

Riccarton on Sunday called 

SafeSquares to keep children safe 

in driveways. It aims to create 

a safe spot for children to stand 

while vehicles are operating 

in the driveway. A workshop 

will be held at Bunnings from 

10am-2pm in which people can 

decorate a free paving stone. 

POOL PARTY 

Jellie Park Recreation and Sport 

Centre will hold its final pool 

party of the season on Saturday. 

The ‘autumn pool party’ 

will include a synchronised 

swimming display, zorbs, 

inflatables and a free sausage 

sizzle. The event will be held 

from noon to 3pm.

Students – get to know your neighbours 

Riccarton 

Neighbourhood 

Support Group 

chairman 

Richard Lee 

writes about the 

opportunities 

students 

moving into the area have 

to connect with their 

neighbours 

OVER THE LAST couple of 

weeks, a number of properties in 

Riccarton have been rented out. 

The EcoShop on Blenheim 

Rd has become busy again 

over the weekends with young 

people buying up second-hand 

mattresses and used furniture. 

The kitchen utensils and 

household items needed to start 

a flat are being snapped up from 

the likes of The Warehouse and 

Kmart. 

The transient group of mainly 

tertiary students has begun 

OVER THE FENCE: As Canterbury University students move 

into Riccarton, Richard Lee offers a few tips on how they can 

get to know their neighbours. 

moving into our rather diverse 

community for the start of the 

academic year. 

As a community, we would 

like to extend a warm welcome 

to our new neighbours who have 

decided to make Riccarton their 

home away from home. 

There are plenty of 

opportunities for new 

residents to connect with their 

neighbours. 

They are welcome to join us at 

the Riccarton Neighbourhood 

Support Group meetings. 

The meetings are held at 6pm 

every first Wednesday of the 

month at the Riccarton Baptist 

Church, 80 Rattray St. 

Go along and listen to the 

invited speakers talk on a 

variety of topics of interest to 

the community and make some 

new friends. Take a plate to share 

with the community. 

Last year, the neighbourhood 

support group became the 

caretaker of a mini-birdhouse 

cabinet structure which holds 

donated books for everyone in 

the community to borrow. 

The structure was built and 

installed as part of a course 

project undertaken by a group of 

Canterbury University students. 

The neighbourhood also has a 

community garden and 

pantry which is always in 

need of volunteers to help out. 

Through the years, we have also 

had students helping out at the 

garden. 

All residents are welcome to 

participate in the community 

activities being organised 

throughout the year. 

The monthly Riccarton 

Community Newsletter lists the 

various activities and happenings 

in the neighbourhood.

Readers respond to an 

article about a planned 

upgrade of the Middleton, 

Ilam and Riccarton Rds 

intersection, the fourth 

most dangerous in the city 

Dave Young – It’s not 

rocket science, they have only 

to set up the intersection as two 

T-intersections with their own 

traffic light phases, not the stupid 

phases they have there at present. 

One phase for Middleton Rd. 

Then a phase for Riccarton Rd 

then a third phase for the other 

street and do away with the lefthand 

free turn. 

Sarah Smith – It’s the one I 

avoid – can’t avoid my local one, 

Marshland/Briggs/Lake Terrace 

Rds intersection, though. It’s a 

pretty bad one that needs green 

arrows on all sides. 

Fiona Ward – Surely it would 

be easier and more effective to 

alter the light sequences so that 

each direction has a “right-turn 

arrow” phase. There are so 

many tricky/busy intersections 

in Christchurch that don’t have 

them and need them. It makes 

no sense. 

Holly Traxler-Puddle 

– This is a very confusing and 

tough intersection because 

the roads don’t come to a 

pronounced four-corner 

intersection. That yellow road 

sign on the far left should 

actually be painted on the road 

too. 

Mandy Paget – So it’s not 

the intersection, it’s the drivers? 

Dimity Church – It’s an easy 

one, no right-hand turns all 

done. 

Arleen Campbell – Hate 

this intersection, so dangerous. 

Jane Hughey – Oh well, it’s 

okay, they will just keep putting 

in more traffic lights, where 

they aren’t needed and more 

accidents will keep happening at 

dangerous intersections. 

Heather Wilkins – This 

intersection has been like this 

since I can remember and I’m in 

my 60s now. You were just a bit 

more cautious when you 

went through it. Give way or 

stop signs were worse. 

Mary Jean – Very poorly 

designed intersection. 

Glyn Owen – Sit a police 

car there for a while, or even a 

cardboard cut out one. 

Barry Clarke – If they have 

green right turning arrows that 

would make it safer. 

Vicki Bennie – About time. 

Jacque Skinner – Seriously? 

How can they say this is a 

dangerous intersection when it 

has lights? Just go when the light 

DANGEROUS: A safety upgrade is being planned for the

is green and you have a space – 

not rocket science. Try driving 

through or across the Breens/ 

Harewood/Gardiners Rds 

intersection at busy times of the 

day with no lights where there 

are constant fender-benders 

and nasty accidents, plus kids 

getting clipped by cars. That’s a 

dangerous intersection. 

Alison Westrupp – A 

roundabout? 

Pam Dench – Just change 

the light phases. Simple fix, 

not millions of dollars on an 

upgrade. 

Carlos Capinpin – Really 

bad, I’m avoiding that 

Middlleton-Ilam way, so 

confusing. 

Kathryn Macgregor 

– Needs a roundabout by looks. 

Mel Sherwood – This is the 

worst intersection ever, I live right 

by it and we were saying yesterday 

something needs to be done.

Community groups in online spat 



A SPAT HAS broken out 

between two Facebook 

community pages in Halswell. 

Resident Greig Russell has hit 

out at the administrators of the 

Halswell Community Group 

page for being “ousted” from 

the group of 

nearly 11,000 

members for 

speaking his 

mind. 

He was 

removed from 

the page when 

he posted a 

Chrys Horn 

mobile phone 

number online. 

Mr Russell since set up a new 

page called Halswell Community 

Page Uncensored with a 

catchphrase of #LETSMAKE- 

HALSWELLGREATAGAIN 

“They ousted me out of the 

community. Short of pitchforks 

and tiki torches that is what they 

have done,” he said. 

Mr Russell was returning 

home from a fishing trip in Greta 

Valley when he came across a 

group of men stranded due to 

having a flat tyre. He lent the 

men his spare wheel to enable 

them to get home and got one of 

their mobile numbers. Mr Russell 

said the men had promised 

to return the spare wheel the 

next day, but nothing eventuated 

and they would not return 

his phone calls and blocked his 

number. To pressure the man, he 

asked members of the Halswell 

Community Group to phone the 

number and ask for the wheel’s 

return. It was returned after 

about a week. 

But Halswell Community Project 

chairwoman and one of the 

administrators Chrys Horn said 

it was harassment and would not 

be tolerated. 

“The trouble is people put up 

stuff and they make allegations. 

We have had quite a few times 

that has happened and the poor 

person on the receiving end has 

no idea what was going on”. 

But Mr Russell responded 

saying it “absolutely” was not 

harassment. He said he did

something about his wheel being 

stolen and he got a result. 

“Someone was trying to rip 

me off. You put yourself in my 

situation. You have got a phone 

number that is all you have got. 

What are you meant to do if they 

block you?” 

He said there is no consistency 

in the Halswell Community 

Group rules and if posts up not 

up to their dictation they will 

shut it down. 

But Dr Horn said it is the 

Halswell Community Project’s 

page and it has clear rules people 

need to follow. 

“If people step outside those 

and they don’t take no or an 

answer then we block them and 

that is just the way the world 

works. 

“Dr Horn said it is a large 

group to monitor and because 

the administrators have a lot 

going on in their lives, they do 

not always catch posts breaking 

their rules right away. The group 

has a wide range of policies 

including group members being 

unable to advertise businesses, 

abuse or make racial comments, 

complain about organisations 

or make posts containing sexual 

references or innuendo. On the 

Halswell Community Page Uncensored 

Mr Russell said as long 

as people “keep it civil” they will 

not get shut down. 

Dr Horn said the group doesn’t 

bare many grudges and she 

would like to reinstate Mr Russell 

when things settle down and 

if the other administrators agree. 

But she said several of the 

administrators on the Halswell 

Community Group have been 

blocked from the Halswell 

Community Page Uncensored. 

Owner sees thief stealing tools from van 


A THIEF WAS seen attempting 

to steal tools from a work van in 

Halswell. 

Electro-Tech Services owner 

Stephen Walker was driving to his 

Aidanfield home in another vehicle 

when he spotted a man inside 

his work van. 

The man had broken into the 

van through the side window. 

Mr Walker pulled up outside 

his property as the man began to 

walk down the driveway towards 

the street, holding two tool cases. 

One tool kit contained electrical 

hand tools while the other was 

a drill and battery kit. The tool 

kits were worth several thousand 

dollars together, Mr Walker said. 

Mr Walker then confronted the 

thief. 

“I pulled over and wound down 

the window and said: ‘Hey mate, 

best you put that back and we will 

call it quits’,’’ he said. 

The man then turned around 

and placed the tool kits beside the 

van. 

The man then walked out of the 

driveway past Mr Walker’s car. 

As he walked past, Mr Walker 

pulled out his camera and told 

the thief to “smile for the camera”. 

“He then put his hands over his 

head and ran past me at a 

million miles an hour,” Mr 

Walker said. 

Mr Walker then called the police 

and began to follow the man 

before losing him. 

Mr Walker drove around a couple 

of streets looking for the man 

before police told him to return 

to his home. 

The incident took place on 

February 16 at about 2pm. 

A police spokeswoman said 

inquiries were conducted at 

the time but did not locate the 

man. 

Mr Walker said police responded 

“really quickly” which 

was good. 

Inquiries are ongoing.

Riccarton Rd plants 

given new home 


PLANTS WHICH otherwise would have 

been sent to the dump have been given a 

new home in Riccarton. 

Creeping rosemary, agapanthus, hebes 

and coleonema were removed from 

Riccarton Rd last week as part of major 

road works which started this month. 

Eighteen planters were taken 

out to enable space for one 

lane of traffic in each direction 

on Riccarton Rd during the 

construction period. 

But instead of being left to die, 

the plants which could be saved 

were transplanted to garden 

beds at the Rata St and Straven 

Rd intersection last week. 

Riccarton Bush-Kilmarnock 

Residents’ Association member 

Lyndon Telfer wrote to the city council 

last month, asking if the plants could be 

placed in other gardens. 

Association chairman Tony Simons 

said it was good to know the city council 

is thinking about conserving plants. 

“We don’t like seeing things dumped so 

we are really pleased the city council did 

that,” he said. 

The roadworks involve upgrading 

damaged underground pipes and

going” and get the Hornby 

Mike Mora 

Anne 

Galloway 

facility established. 

“We have gone through 

all the options – this is the 

quickest, fastest one and 

the one I think has the 

most community support,” 

she said. 

If the partial reserve 

reclassification and 

management plan changes 

do not go ahead there 

would be further delays as 

an investigation would be required to find 

another suitable site, a city council report 

said. 

It may also result in higher construction 

costs due to inflation and a lower scope to 

be able to be delivered for the budget. 

Said Cr Galloway: “It is time to let 

the community know we want the best 

for them and provide a facility that will 

encourage education and learning as well 

as physical activity. 

Cr Buck said her only concern was she 

may not be able to get to the meeting due 

to another commitment.

priority measures. 

The area has faced issues in the past 

with plants along Rimu and Titoki Sts 

being squashed by vehicles parking for 

the Christchurch Farmers’ Market on 

Saturday mornings. 

Mr Simons said while it is still an issue, 

the city council has made improvements 

by putting bark chips on the 

gardens. 

It has also been placing road 

cones around the gardens on 

Saturday mornings to prevent 

cars parking on the flower beds.

Community Board deputy 

chairwoman Helen Broughton 

said she brought the issue of 

cars parking on Rimu and

June. 

She suggested bollards be placed 

around the gardens. 

Mr Simons supported this idea and 

said the road cones are “not particularly 

attractive.” 

But city council planning and delivery 

transport manager Lynette Ellis said the 

safety of road users and the costs need 

to be considered before any solutions are 

finalised.

of Denton Park was discussed, the 

community board decided not to proceed 

with using the park for the facility on the 

recommendation of a city council panel. 

The park was turned down as the site

Exploring Antarctica by sea 

INSPIRED: Georgina Archibald training for her Antarctic 

kayaking expedition next month. 

A CHRISTCHURCH woman is 

about to head to Antarctica to 

kayak with an Olympian – all in 

the name of inspiring others to 

get out and explore. 

Ara Institute of Canterbury 

learning adviser Georgina Archibald, 

29, is one of five young 

people selected to take part in 

the Antarctic Heritage Trust’s 

Inspiring Explorers Expedition. 

“This will certainly be the 

greatest outdoor adventure I’ve 

ever undertaken, so I’m thrilled 

to have been selected,” said Miss 

Archibald. 

Next month Miss Archibald 

and the expedition team – including 

Olympic slalom canoeist 

Mike Dawson – will travel to the 

Antarctic Peninsula via South 

America on a One Oceans Expeditions 

vessel. 

Once in Antarctica, they will 

have the opportunity to explore 

the region in kayaks with help 

from guides and Dawson. 

“Going to Antarctica is incredible 

but being able to kayak there 

will be even more amazing . . . 

it means we’ll be able to get up 

close to the landscape and wildlife,” 

said Miss Archibald. 

As she counts down to 

the trip, her focus is on 

training and ensuring 

she has the right gear. 

“I’ve been enjoying 

kayaking around Banks 

Peninsula over the 

summer. However, the 

warm temperatures have 

been very different to 

the polar conditions in 

Antarctica, and one of 

the expedition’s biggest 

challenges will be managing 

the extreme cold while kayaking 

– ideally I’ll get my layering 

techniques right.” 

As a self-described storyteller, 

Miss Archibald was drawn to 

the nature of the expedition, 

which combines the chance to 

Georgina 

Archibald 

experience new landscapes and 

wildlife. On her return, Miss Archibald 

will share her story with 

the Pasifika community, schools, 

tertiary institutions and community 

organisations. 

“My message will be 

focused on what an 

incredible world we 

live in and to make 

the most of being able 

to get out there and 

explore it. Adventures, 

big or small, local or 

further afield, are what 

opens our eyes and 

make us appreciate 

life.” 

Antarctic Heritage 

Trust executive director Nigel 

Watson will lead the expedition, 

saying it will be an unforgettable 

experience. “We have an 

incredible team on board this 

year. We can’t wait to share this 

journey as Antarctica has the 

power to change lives.” 

Garden award haul 

•From page 1 

The trophy is the competition’s 

premier award and it won the 

Howman Cup for outstanding 

flats and townhouse gardens in a 

retirement village. 

The village came first place in 

the rest and retirement homes 

category of the competition, 

earning them the Peter Lawrence 

Challenge Trophy. 

Individual village residents also 

received a second and third prize 

in the Howman Cup category 

and the association awarded all 

residents located on the village’s 

street frontage a gardening certificate. 

“Lots and lots” of hours have 

gone into the garden – which is 

cared for by Miss Holmes and 

part-time gardener Amanda 

Riordan. 

“We both have a passion for 

our work and we put our heart 

and soul in the garden,” Miss 

The revolution 

in heat pumps 

is here now! 

Holmes said. The garden, which 

was first planted by the village’s 

former gardener Linda Rollo in 

2010 features a range of plants 

including rhododendrons, camellias, 

lavenders and roses. 

Mrs Rollo, who retired in late 

2016, said a lot of the garden 

has changed since the original 

planting and it is “just a beautiful 

village” now. 

She said the key is to never give 

up and put in “lots of hard work.”

Tasty Middle Eastern takeaways 

a popular choice in Halswell 

Now firmly established as one of 

Halswell’s most popular takeaway food 

outlets, Souvlaki King offers an extensive 

range of authentic Middle Eastern food 

that’s fresh, healthy and delicious. 

In the last few weeks they have introduced 

two new items to the menu, offering even 

more choice for customers. These are the $11 

Snack Box, which comprises scrumptious 

hot chips with lamb, beef, chicken, falafel 

or mixed, topped with cheese and barbeque 

sauce or your choice of chili sauce, and the 

traditional Shawarma, which is a roll filled 

with meat, vegetarian falafel or feta cheese, 

and topped with barbeque or your choice 

of chili sauce. This is also $11, or $14 with 

hot chips. 

Both these items are proving very popular 

for lunch, the business owners say. 

The souvlakis are available in three 

portion sizes – small, large or triple, with 

a choice of chicken, lamb, beef, kofta or 

falafel and served with coleslaw, lettuce, 

tzatziki, hummus and your choice of chili 

or barbeque sauce. 

All ingredients used at 

Souvlaki King are sourced 

locally to ensure freshness and 

quality, including the meats, 

which are supplied by the local 

butchery. 

The falafel is freshly prepared 

every day to their own secret recipe, 

and is another very popular item, 

even for non-vegetarian customers, 

and all the salads and sauces are 

prepared on the premises every day. 

For a sweet taste, they offer the traditional 

baklava, and cake slices, 

while beverages 

include a selection 

of coffees, teas, hot 

chocolate, milk shakes 

and thick shakes. 

Souvlaki King has just 

launched its website, www.

now order online and your 

food will be ready to pick up 

and pay for when you arrive.

Bangladesh tour for teen 

CALL-UP: Caius Faatili is one of four St Thomas’ students to 

make an age group NZ residents squad. 

Four St Thomas students 

selected for league squads 

FOUR ST Thomas of 

Canterbury College students and 

a Hornby High School student 

have been selected in the New 

Zealand resident rugby league 

16s and 18s squads. 

Nikau Waikato, Jaedon Wellington, 

Felix Fa’atilii and Caius 

Fa’atili from St Thomas’ and Jordan 

Coleman from Hornby have 

been selected for the squads after 

attending a talent development 

programme held in Cambridge. 

Felix Fa’atilii, Waikato and 

Wellington have made the 16s 

squad while Caius Fa’atili and 

Coleman are selected in the 18s. 

The camp saw 80 of the 

best 16s and 18s players in 

the country put through their 

paces both on and off the 

field at the three-day camp, 

with everything they learnt 

culminating in two trial matches 

on the final day. The talent on 

display left selectors with some 

difficult decisions to make as 

players battled it out in hopes of 

catching the coaches’ eyes. 

The squads will assemble on 

during the school holidays on 15 

April 15 and July 8, with a game 

in October to be announced in 

the coming months.

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High 

School’s Angus Sidey will get 

his first taste of cricket in the 

subcontinent when he heads 

to Bangladesh with the New 

Zealand under-19 team in April. 

The 16-year-old received a 

phone call from NZ under-19 

coach and former Canterbury 

and Black Caps batsman Peter 

Fulton last week. 

“It was pretty incredible really 

. . . I was part of an emerging 

players’ camp earlier in the year 

but I had no idea I’d get the call 

up,” said Sidey. 

The right-arm pace bowler 

is just one of three Canterbury 

players named in the squad 

along with St Andrew’s College 

students Jesse Frew and Rhys 

Mariu 

The tour to Bangladesh will 

be the New Zealand’s first series 

in the lead up to the World Cup, 

which will be played in South 

Africa in January. 

“It would be a bit of a dream 

to make the World Cup team. 

There will certainly be a bit of 

pressure under the spotlight in 

Bangladesh, but I wont let it get 

to me,” said Sidey. 

“It will be a interesting challenge 

bowling in spin-friendly 

conditions.” 

The Bangladesh tour will start 

with a 50-over warm-up game, 

followed by five 50-over contests.

EXPERIENCE: Angus Sidey will get his first taste of cricket in 

the sub continent when he travels to Bangladesh with the NZ 

under-19 team in April. 

Bangladesh, who recently 

hosted the England under-19s, 

Paul Wiseman, the former 

Canterbury and Black Caps 

spinner who is the programme 

leader for the under-19s, 

said: “We see this as purely 

a wonderful opportunity; a 

subcontinental tour that the 

players will really benefit from. 

I think we’ll learn a lot about 

players over there.”

Teaching and learning during construction 

The redevelopment works will be carried out in such a way as to enable school business to continue as normal. Buildings will 

be refurbished in sequence, with students decanted into spare classrooms. There will be three stages to the works. 

Oaklands School 

Project Update 

Oaklands School is embarking on an exciting journey to transform our campus to meet our 

vision for teaching and learning, now and into the future. This newsletter aims to inform and 

update our school community on the redevelopment project. The proposed design transforms 

Oaklands School, creating a new school entrance, with central courtyard surrounded by 

administration, library and hall. The school’s teaching spaces will also be transformed into 

new innovative learning environments. 

Our vision 

It is our goal to support and 

nurture our students for their 

unique strengths and talents at 

Oaklands School. 

We aim to meet individual learning 

needs. 

This can be seen in everything we do 

from our flexible learning using an 

inquiry approach, the opportunities 

children have to learn in a wide range 

of learning opportunities, extension/ 

enrichment programmes and strong 

remedial programmes for those needing 

targeted support. 

Our CARE Values is a strong part of our 

school culture in promoting life long 

learners. 

Innovative learning 

environments 

The world we are preparing our children 

for is always changing. 

Education needs to keep pace with this constant 

evolution. Innovative learning environments are 

capable of adapting as educational practice 

evolves. 

Innovative learning environments encourage 

collaboration and inquiry for both children 

and teachers. They allow the teacher to teach 

in a range of styles and groups to best meet 

the strengths and needs of a diverse group of 

children. 

The Ministry of Education has been very 

supportive in working with the school to design 

buildings that will support the constantly evolving 

way of teaching and learning at Oaklands School. 

We are Life Long 

Learners who Aspire to 

Excellence 

We believe that learning is effective and 

successful when: 

• Learners experience success 

• Meaningful relationships are built and 

maintained 

• We are connected collaboratively 

• We know the learner 

• We are all learning to learn in 

authentic and purposeful contexts 

• We approach learning with a growth 

mindset 

We have worked really hard 

preparing for our redevelopment and 

will keep focused on teaching and 

learning throughout the project. So 

much work has taken place during 

the planning stages to ensure our 

learning environments with 

complement our excellent teaching 

practices. 

“Our redevelopment will involve the 

demolition of 11 school buildings, 

refurbishment of six buildings, 

including the hall, as well as the 

construction of three new buildings”, 

The school will remain operational 

during the redevelopment which is 

expected to be completed by August 

2020. 

Margaret Trotter, Principal 

Central Courtyard 

Health and safety during 

construction 

The new buildings will comply to 100% new building standards. 

Safety of students, staff and the public has priority during 

construction. 

Health and safety plans will be put in place prior to any work 

proceeding on site, and will be actively managed throughout the 

construction period. 

Construction zones will be in place during construction, with no 

access available for students, staff, or the general public.

fantastic line up from their seats. 

So we have created three distinct 

zones at the venue – there will be 

no seating of any kind allowed at 

the front (but feel free to bring a 

picnic blanket), the next section 

will be low chairs only, and you 

are welcome to bring full height 

deckchairs for the deckchair zone. 

Thank you for your cooperation 

with this.

Feneon chases US basketball dream 


PROMISING basketballer Kurt 

Feneon is looking to take his 

game to the next level now he 

has finished his final year at 

Christchurch Boys’ High School. 

Feneon, 18, trains twice a 

day, five times a week with 

the Canterbury Rams as he 

pursues a United States college 

scholarship. 

The forward/guard has 

adjusted his game since finishing 

high school. At 198cm, Feneon 

was predominantly used at 

centre due to being the tallest 

player in his team. However, 

he is now concentrating on his 

game as a wing player. 

“I could always dribble and do 

what you need to as a guard, but 

I never did because I played as a 

big,” said Feneon. 

Those skills were on show 

this month when he travelled to 

Melbourne with the Canterbury 

Knights as part of a six-game 

tour. Feneon shot 7/14 threepointers 

for the team, which 

contained a number of current 

and former Canterbury Rams. 

“I was always a good midrange 

shooter, but I’ve really 

been working on my three-point 

shooting.” 

He’s hopeful that form will 

translate into a US college 

scholarship. 

Going to the US has been his 

objective since he got serious 

about basketball four years ago. 

If it happens, he won’t be the first 

DETERMINED: Kurt Feneon trains twice a day to improve his 

three-point shooting and pursue a US college scholarship. 

in his family to make the 

trip. 

His father Remi from France 

and mother Jolene from South 

Africa met at the University 

of Mississippi – known as Ole 

Miss – while there on tennis 

scholarships. 

“They’ve always been 

encouraging me on it because of 

the great experiences they had 

over there,” said Feneon. 

SPORTS 

Just like his parents and 

sister Jade, who all play premier 

inter-club tennis, he also played 

the sport from a young age. 

However, at 13 Feneon made the 

switch to basketball. 

“I was okay at tennis but I 

never really loved it,” he said. 

“I’ve found that winning with 

a team is so much better than by 

yourself.” 

Feneon is now training 

regularly with the Canterbury 

Rams ahead of their NBL season. 

He will head to Dunedin with 

the Knights to play the Otago 

Nuggets and Southland Sharks 

next month. 

“I’m just trying to make 

sure I’m in the best shape I can 

be. I’m just waiting for that call,” 

he said. 

While his ultimate goal 

is to get to the NBA, he will 

also have other professional 

playing options in the Northern 

Hemisphere if he can continue to 

develop. 

“I’ve got a French passport 

because of my dad, so Europe is 

another place I could play.” 

Feneon was part of the 

Canterbury team which won the 

national under-19 title last year, 

and has also attended a number 

of New Zealand age group 

camps. 

Trio selected 

for national 

netball squad 

QUANTELLE Hira-Kapua, Julia 

Wynands and Olivia Burnham 

have been selected in the New 

Zealand Secondary School 

netball squad. 

Hira-Kapua from Hillmorton 

High School and Wynands and 

Burnham both from Villa Maria 

College are the only three played 

from the Mainland region to 

gain selection into the 22-strong 

squad following a three-day 

national development camp in 

Cambridge. 

A NZSS team will be selected 

from the squad by the end of 

April. 

NZSS head coach and panel 

member Charissa Barham said 

selectors had assessed performances 

at the national development 

camp, the ANZ Premiership 

pre-season tournament 

in Ōtaki along with various 

secondary school tournaments 

last year. 

“It has been a thorough 

process and we have had the opportunity 

to look at a number of 

players,” she said. 

“There are some athletes who 

were involved with the NZSS 

team last year and plenty of new 

faces who are pushing hard for 

selection this year.” 

Burnham is one of six players 

in the squad from last year’s 

NZSS team which competed in 

Australia. 

It’s our 

45th 

Anniversary 

year!

Wellbeing & Beauty 

The smile you deserve 

Christchurch Denture Care may only 

have been in the Garden City since 

October last year, but the company behind 

them has been providing the same great 

service to denture wearers in the South 

Island for almost 60 years. 

Now the same terrific service that 

has seen locals from as far afield as 

Oamaru, Timaru and Twizel travel miles 

to have dentures made and repaired is 

available right here at 105 Wainui Street 

in Riccarton. It is this expertise and 

experience that means denture wearers 

are in safe hands, and local girl Joanna is 

thrilled to be sharing her skills as a clinical 

dental technician with the people she grew 

up alongside. 

Joanna, along with owner Jenny Wang, 

believes in going that extra mile for clients. 

Both are graduates from the University 

of Otago and fully qualified and highlyexperienced 

dental technicians. They pride 

themselves on terrific customer service. 

However long it takes, they want their 

clients to be happy with their decision and 

with the final product. They will develop a 

personalised treatment plan and provide 

a free initial consultation, free polishing 

for the lifetime of your dentures, and free 

after-care service. For clients who live in 

one of Christchurch’s rest homes, they will 

come to you at no cost, and as part of their 

community service, they run seminars to 

educate nurses and caregivers on gum and 

denture care. 

They provide the full range of services 

for denture wearers including making a 

wide range of full and partial dentures 

that are customised to fit comfortably in 

the mouth and that look like a natural fit 

with your existing smile. The dentures 

can be conventional acrylic, 

metal framed or flexible and 

they will sit down with you to 

discuss exactly what will work 

best for you, your mouth and 

your lifestyle. They will make 

sure your dentures last as long 

as possible, offering relines 

and repairs. Their equipment 

will soon be state-of-the-art 

with 3D digital technology 

on its way including a facial scanner and 

a 3D printer. This will help cut down the 

time spent waiting for dentures to be 

manufactured and will provide a snugger 

and more comfortable final fit. 

On top of all that, they offer 

mouthguards for sports people, snoreguards 

for the partners of snorers, and 

professional-quality teeth-whitening trays. 

Call in and meet the friendly team 

or telephone 03 341 2242 to book your 

initial consultation and get the smile 

you deserve.

REAL ESTATE 

An unparalleled lifestyle in magical Moncks Bay 

242 Main Road, Redcliffs - “As-Is, Where-Is” 

Auction: Thursday, 14 March 2019 Unless Sold Prior 

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 living rooms | 1 office/study | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number SM0166 

Treasured by two generations and offering 

a truly once in a lifetime opportunity, this 

tantalizing home upon a 2853m2 section 

enjoys an overwhelming tranquil setting and 

is presented to the market on an uninsured 

“as-is, where-is” basis. 

Situated in the tightly held locale of magical 

Moncks Bay, this property makes a memorable 

first impression and was constructed in the 

1960s but has naturally received extensive 

modern enhancements including a Bruce 

Banbury architectural renovation in 2004. 

Resort-style serenity is provided by the 

colourful Clivias as well as the established 

greenery and palms trees that border the 

swimming and spa pool, with the outstanding 

views and majestic cliff face backdrop only 

escalating the property’s visual appeal. 

Spacious living areas are complemented 

by the sizeable Kwila deck, water feature 

and idyllic alfresco surroundings which 

have previously hosted a wedding and could 

continue to be the scene of many memorable 

occasions. 

Skylights, the superb use of timber, a 

contemporary colour scheme and the 

magnificent stone fireplaces create an 

incredibly inviting ambience indoors where 

you’ll find four double bedrooms, two 

bathrooms and a relaxing sunroom area that 

comes complete with a spa bath. 

With an expansive lawn area and the 

picturesque garden at the rear of the property 

both epitomise peace and privacy and offer 

access up to the top of the section where 

you can sit and admire the ocean vistas over 

Moncks Bay incorporating from Shag Rock 

and right along the Pegasus Bay coastline. 

This property can potentially be subdivided 

which furthers your options and adds 

another element of interest for buyers. 

Ensconced in a private lane that sits across 

from the waterfront, this property is also 

positioned to enjoy the area’s celebrated 

microclimate and is located within easy reach 

of the beaches, boating facilities, Barnett 

Park and the amenities in both Redcliffs and 

Sumner. 

With floors needing repiling and being sold 

uninsured, deemed uneconomical to repair, 

this unique “as-is, where-is” opportunity is a 

real game changer with the feel good factor 

and is guaranteed to attract attention. Your 

earliest viewing is advised. 

Open Homes: Wednesdays, Saturdays 

and Sundays 1:00pm - 1:45pm. 

See you at the open homes or for a private 

viewing or for more information contact

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.” 

New bid to fix potholes

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes to own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

However, the public has li tle

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking to operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils

s eing first hand what men and 

horses l oked like during war. 

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and
