Rangi students pay tribute to inspiring women 

INSPIRING: Rangi Ruru student head of school Rachel McSweeny (sixth from left), with the student 

leadership team and principal Sandra Hastie, discussed inspirational women, including the Gibson 

sisters (inset) and Harry Potter author JK Rowling (right). 

IN THE LEAD up to International 

Women’s Day on Friday, Rangi 

Ruru Girls’ School and Christ’s 

College students got together to 

discuss women they admire. 

Author JK Rowling, female 

politicians and, of course, mums 

and sisters were among those 

identified by the students, as 

well as a group of sisters from 

Christchurch in the late 1880s. 

Rangi Ruru was established in 

Webb St, Papanui, by the Gibson 

sisters 130 years ago. They wanted 

to provide an environment “where 

girls could flourish and excel.” 

Rangi Ruru student head of 

school Rachel McSweeny said 

there’s a great deal of admiration 

for the women who founded Rangi 

Ruru. “We have tried to encapsulate 

the idea the Gibson sisters had 

of creating a place where young 

women could be the best they can 

be in a safe, secure and supportive 

environment,” she said.

Papanui 

candidates 

step up for 

October 

elections 

• By Julia Evans 

THREE CANDIDATES may vie 

to represent Papanui at the city 

council table in the local body 

elections. 

Think Papanui founder Simon 

Britten will run in the October 

elections, although he hasn’t 

decided whether to challenge for 

the city council or Papanui-Innes 

Community Board. 

If he runs for council, he 

will take on incumbent Mike 

Davidson for a seat at the city 

council table. 

Last week, Papanui-Innes board 

member John Stringer said he 

would also run in the ward. So 

far it is the only area to have more 

than one candidate confirmed to 

stand. 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board chairman 

Sam MacDonald will run for the 

Waimairi Ward, but current city 

councillor Raf Manji is not standing. 

In 2016, Mr Britten was beaten 

for a Papanui Ward spot on the 

community board by Mr Stringer 

and deputy chairwoman Emma 

Norrish.

GREAT NEWS for young tennis player 

Abby Mason on page 14 today. 

The 15-year-old St Margaret’s College 

student, who plays for Elmwood, has 

made the New Zealand junior Fed Cup 

team to compete at the Asia-Oceania 

qualifying event next month. 

A top hockey player and swimmer, she has turned her focus to 

tennis in the past six months, and the rewards have now come. 

Abby told sports reporter Gordon Findlater: “There was one 

point during the winter where I was playing more hockey than 

tennis. It definitely didn’t help at all, so hopefully it will help my 

tennis this year.” 

A goal is to play college tennis in the United States. If she does 

well in the Fed Cup, no doubt she will.

Kahu Rd improvements finally passed 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

TWO COMMUNITY boards 

had to meet again last week to 

pass safety improvements for 

cyclists on a busy Fendalton 

road after a they failed to do it 

last year. 

The decision has come six 

months late because there 

were not enough

community 

board members 

at a meeting in 

September to 

make a formal 

decision on the 

improvements to 

Kahu Rd outside 

Christchurch 

Boys’ High 

School. 

The original 

meeting was 

deemed invalid due to the 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board only having 

four members present. 

A quorum of five members 

from each board is needed to 

make a formal decision. 

City council head of 

DELAYED: A decision to make Kahu Rd outside CBHS safer 

was delayed by six months due to a community board 

procedural error. 

community support, governance 

and partnerships John Filsell 

admitted an error was made and 

it had never happened before. 

Last year, CBHS expressed 

concerns over the safety of road 

users and the large number of 

students who cycle to the school. 

CBHS has had a significant 

redevelopment, causing cycle 

parking facilities to be relocated, 

which resulted in significantly 

greater cycle activity on Kahu 

Rd outside the school. 

The error meant all affected 

parties had to repeat their deputation 

to the boards again. 

Kahu Rd resident Leigh 

Webber said he was very disappointed 

in the process. 

Residents were concerned 

the city council staff recommendation 

to have drop-off and 

pick-up zones on both sides of 

Kahu Rd and no stopping on 

Girvan St would mean a loss of 

car parks. However, the board 

members went against the staff 

recommendation and approved 

the installation of a drop-off and 

pick-up zone on the north side 

of Kahu Rd. 

It will be in effect between 

8.30-9.30am and 2-4pm, 

Monday to Friday. Outside 

these times parking will be 

unrestricted. 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board deputy 

chairwoman Helen Broughton 

said the boards decided to “take 

the middle path” to relieve some 

issues for the school and help 

residents. 

CBHS senior master Craig 

Dunnett said it would have been 

nice if the improvements had 

happened earlier. 

“Any change is a good change 

if it is going to make it safer 

for the school users and the 

community users on the road 

there,” he said. 

He said the school would 

have preferred the city council 

staff recommendation but 

understood residents were 

concerned about losing car 

parks. 

Mr Dunnett said the area 

outside the school was “an 

accident waiting to happen.” 

Mr Webber said the board 

made an acceptable decision, but 

it is the school’s responsibility to 

ensure its students’ safety. 

“CBHS are trying to transfer 

all the costs and trouble over 

to the public when the answer 

lies within the school itself,” Mr 

Webber said.

SISSON PARK WORK 

Work will start this week to

THE DISTANCE between the 

hydrotherapy pool and the toilets 

at Taiora: QE II Recreation and 

Sport Centre is causing pool 

users embarrassment. 

Parklands resident Aileen Trist 

said the hydrotherapy pool was 

most often used by people who 

need close access to the toilet and 

changing room facilities. 

However, the hydrotherapy 

pool is further away from the

the venue. 

“People that use the 

hydrotherapy pool use it because 

they have a disability, whether 

it’s a big one or a small one, they 

have mobility problems.” 

City council head of recreation, 

sports and events Nigel Cox said 

the hydrotherapy pool was 55m 

away. 

He said installing the pool 

any closer to the facilities had 

not been an option because the 

supported and safe environment 

is a good time to try things 

you might otherwise not have 

thought about. 

budget for it was a late addition. 

Mrs Trist said her husband 

Tony has suffered two strokes and 

is paralysed down his left side. 

He was almost left 

embarrassed trying to get to the 

facilities during the couple’s last 

trip to QE II, she said. 

Mrs Trist wants three 

uni-sex toilet facilities to 

be installed closer to the 

hydrotherapy pool so others 

like her husband do not have to 

struggle in the future. 


“It can build confidence and 

emotional resilience, which 

especially for young women is 

really important.” 

A video produced by Rangi 

Ruru students, with assistance 

from Christ’s College, went live 

on both schools’ websites on 

Friday. It hopes to encourage 

others to think about and thank 

the women they admire most. 

And what would the school’s 

1889 founders think of the world 

for women today? 

“I believe the Gibson sisters 

would be very proud of Rangi 

Ruru in 2019, as we inspire, 

challenge and empower young 

women within a community 

that knows and cares for them,” 

Rachel said.

She discussed this proposal in 

front of the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board at its meeting 

last week. 

The board requested the 

city council seek urgent advice 

on how the toilets could be 

added. 

Mr Cox said the city 

council was aware of Mrs 

Trist’s concerns, but there are 

currently no plans and no 

funding available to install more 

accessible toilets.

Revolutionary plan for red zone 


A NEW, children-friendly 

development along the 

Richmond end of the Avon River 

will aim to help Banks Avenue 

School Pupils recover from the 

trauma of the earthquakes. 

Avon-Otakaro Network’s 

Evan Smith said about four out 

of five Banks Avenue School 

pupils had been left with some 

form of post-traumatic stress 

disorder. 

Banks 

Avenue School 

principal 

Toni Burnside 

said an ongoing 

study by 

Canterbury 

Toni Burnside 

University associate 

professor 

Kathleen 

Liberty had found Banks Avenue 

pupils continued to show symptoms 

of PTSD almost nine years 

on from the first quake. 

Mrs Burnside said these 

symptoms included not being 

able to focus in class, having 

separation anxiety from their 

parents and struggling to sleep 

at night. 

Mr Smith said Avon-Otakaro 

Network’s so-called Riverlution 

project would aim to bring 

normality and fun back into the 

lives of pupils and residents who 

had been surrounded by red 

zone for so long. 

“With the behaviours some 

of the kids are exhibiting, they 

calm down a lot if they’re out 

and about and getting in touch 

with the dirt.” 

The development would run 

from Glade Ave to Banks Ave 

and include a number of features 

including kids walking trails, 

play areas gardens, a pop-up cafe 

and a tiny house village. 

“For a long time this area has 

been a place of fear and now it 

can be a part of the solution. 

It’s really just enabling kids to

have an opportunity to explore 

the space and be at peace with it 

again,” said Mr Smith. 

He said Banks Avenue 

pupils would get to choose 

one feature to include in the 

project and the discussion on 

what this would be was in its 

early stages. 

Mrs Burnside said Ms Liberty 

was continuing to work with 

Banks Ave’s teachers to develop 

strategies to help pupils with 

PTSD cope at school. 

These included “drink to 

think,” a daily initiative where 

children are made to drink milk, 

having play time before lunchtime 

so students are 

settled when they come 

back into the classroom and 

having a snack break between 

the start of school and morning 

tea time. 

She said involving pupils in 

the Riverlution project would 

be another positive step towards 

their recovery. 

“We’ve been devastated here, 

so it’s really nice for them to 

be a part of that re-growth 

and rejuvenation . . . in years 

to come, they’ll remember the 

earthquakes, but they’ll also 

remember that they’ve played a 

part.”

say on 

Annual Plan 

CONSULTATION ON the draft 

Annual Plan 2019-20 is open. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel said the 

draft Annual Plan has a few significant 

changes from the budget 

forecast for year two of the Long 

Term Plan. 

It reflects a desire to reduce 

rates increases, remove chlorine 

from the city’s drinking water 

and to focus attention on roads, 

footpaths and parks. 

These are our top priorities 

for the year ahead,” she said. 

“It’s a year for getting the basics 

done, while ensuring our 

drinking water is in line with 

new standards set by central 

Government.” 

The average rates increase is 

lower than the amount forecast 

in the Long Term Plan, which is 

pleasing, she said. 

However, there has been an 

increase in the fixed charges 

component of rates, including 

an increase in the waste 

minimisation rate, due to 

increased costs for recycling on 

the international market. 

•Consultation on the plan 

is open for the rest of March, 

with hearings planned for 

April. 

As local MP I was impressed 

by the turn-out of hundreds of 

volunteers from the Student 

Volunteer Army (SVA) to plant 

native trees and clear weeds at the 

Styx River Catchment in Belfast 

recently. Congratulations to SVA 

president Sati and his team for coordinating 

such a successful event 

in support of the local community. I 

enjoyed chatting to volunteers and 

having a closer look at the work 

they undertake, and acknowledging 

what they do when I spoke at 

the event. Thirty-five species of 

native birds live in the fragile Styx 

Catchment and it was great to see 

everyone making such a positive 

impact on this area. 

I enjoyed attending the Rare 

Breeds and Heritage Lifestyle Day 

at Willowbank on Sunday. It was 

a great opportunity to have a look 

at New Zealand’s rare breeds and 

to hear about the work undertaken 

by the Rare Breeds Conservation 

Society of New Zealand. 

I’m inviting our principals and 

school communities from across 

the electorate to a public meeting 

to look at proposed changes to 

schools under Government’s 

Tomorrow’s Schools programme on 

Wednesday 3 April at 7pm in the 

Ruataniwha Kaiapoi Civic Centre 

in Kaiapoi, so please do attend to 

hear what the proposals will mean 

for your school. We’ve raised some 

serious concerns about the potential 

transfer of power from parents to 

officials. 

Changes to apprenticeship and 

trades training are causing concerns 

that polytechnics in the regions will 

be short-changed. From next year, 

trades-training apprenticeships will 

be managed by polytechnics as 

they were almost 30 years ago. I 

believe this is a step backwards 

as today we recognise industry is 

best at training industry. Regional 

polytechnics like Ara will be 

centralised into one large national 

polytechnic in Wellington and all 

decision-making for Ara will come 

from Wellington. We are consulting 

New Zealanders on their views and 

I would love to hear from you.




Teen poet’s special inspiration 

• By Jess Gibson 

ONE DAY Evie Johnson wants 

to be prime minister – and now 

she has a personal letter from 

Jacinda Ardern to inspire her. 

Last year, the 13-year-old from 

Strowan sent Ms Ardern a letter 

about a series of haiku poems 

she wrote from the perspective 

of a refugee, which were printed 

and sold to 

raise money for 

UNICEF. 

Ms Ardern 

responded to 

the letter last 

month and 

congratulated 

Jacinda 

Ardern 

Evie on her 

project. 

The prime 

minister 

also said she had run a haiku 

competition when she was at 

school. 

Evie wrote her poems as part 

of the year-long Passion Project, 

in which year 8 pupils used their 

passions to help solve some of 

the world’s biggest problems, 

with the United Nations 

sustainable development goals as 

their framework. 

Evie sold all 150 tea towels in 

under three weeks and raised 

$1500, which she donated to 

UNICEF’s Rohingya children’s 

appeal. Evie used her love for 

creative writing to express how 

she felt about goal No 4 – quality 

education. 

“I have always loved learning 

and it breaks my heart to 

think that not all children 

receive a quality education, 

usually for reasons outside of 

their control,” said Evie. 

“A quality education can 

change any child’s future. Just 

because children are refugees, 

they should not miss out on the 

opportunity to make a better life 

for themselves and others,” she 

said. 

INSPIRED: 

Bridget 

Compton- 

Moen and 

Evie Johnson 

hold the letter 

from Jacinda 

Ardern, which 

talks about 

her love of 

poetry in her 

school days. 

Evie’s former teacher Bridget 

Compton-Moen said the skills 

students develop in the Passion 

Project are “endless.” 

“The girls’ growth is so 

impressive because they are 

engaged in something they really 

love and are passionate about,” 

said Mrs Compton-Moen. 


No garden 

awards 

ceremony 


A CEREMONY for the 

Community Pride Garden 

Awards will not be held for the 

Coastal-Burwood Ward this 

year. 

It is the only ward in 

Christchurch which will not 

be hosting a ceremony for the 

awards. The Coastal-Burwood- 

Burwood Community Board 

decided at a meeting last week the 

$3000 cost of hosting the awards 

was out of its budget. 

Instead, the board will post 

out certificates to the ward’s 142 

award winners. 

Board member Linda Stewart 

opposed the decision. 

“I see it as a negative to not 

encourage the ward to be 

colourful and pretty again and 

pretty for everybody.” 

She said gardening is a way 

for many people to add some 

vibrancy to damaged streets 

and manage the stress which 

came with being surrounded by 

damage. 

All the other members of 

the board agreed that the 

Community Pride Garden 

Awards should be hosted once 

every two years to save money.

British expat’s love of Richmond 


WHEN CATHY Allden laid eyes 

on Richmond in 2007, she knew 

she was home. 

The British expat fell in love with 

New Zealand’s landscapes when 

she first visited in 2001. 

When she and her partner 

John Cleminson decided to start 

their house hunt in Christchurch, 

they quickly realised they loved 

no landscape more than the one 

around Richmond. 

“We really loved the river and we 

loved the proximity to the city and 

we didn’t look much further than 

within a 1km radius of the river.” 

After the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake, the surroundings Miss 

Allden had grown so fond of all 

but disappeared. 

Her house was one of the few 

still habitable in her street, just five 

houses down from the red zone. 

The stress of the situation was 

added to Miss Allden’s attempts to 

have a child through IVF in 2012, 

which eventually led to the birth of 

her son Jack in 2013. 

Seeing damage all around her, 

Miss Allden realised she wanted 

to do whatever she could to help 

Richmond recover. 

After quitting her job as a 

travel agent to become a full-time 

mum, she decided to make this 

her mission. It all started with a 

paddling pool. 

“Me and a couple of other mums 

put together a petition and went 

and did a deputation to the city 

council for the Long Term Plan to 

get the paddling pool at Avebury 

House fixed. That got approved.” 

Miss Allden said she got such 

a buzz out of making this project 

happen she became hungry to do 

more. 

“That was the catalyst really 

that started the momentum of 

a sense of empowerment that 

we could actually do more and 

engage more and take ownership 

of the post-earthquake recovery in 

Richmond.” 

She then decided to turn her 

attention to Richmond’s green 

spaces and became the co-founder 

of the Richmond Community 

Garden. 

The garden was started on the 

edge of the River Rd red zone in 

2017 and its contributors have 

since worked on a number of 

community planting and green 

space development projects with 

schools and other community 

organisations. 

Miss Allden said the space has 

helped connect the Richmond 

community. 

“We’re showing skills and 

growing food resilience and really 

working together as a village to 

support each other.” 

LEGEND: Cathy Allden has worked tirelessly to get Richmond 

back on its feet post-quake. 

Subdivision 

gets new 

reserves 


FOUR EMPTY plots of land in 

the Prestons subdivision will 

become recreation reserves. 

The Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board approved the proposal 

and the reserves’ names at 

a meeting last week. 

The decision means the 

reserves will now be maintained 

regularly by city council staff. 

It has previously not been 

responsible for the areas because 

unnamed reserves cannot be 

placed under the city council’s 

schedule of maintenance. 

The community board agreed 

the renaming was the best 

option for all involved because it 

means the reserves can now be 

easily located by residents and 

their use can be promoted by the 

city council. 

The names are: 

1. Aopori Reserve (Prestons 

Park Drive) 

2. Arokehe Reserve (Avemore 

Drive) 

3. Kowaro Reserve (Prestons 

Park Drive) 

4. Mara Reserve (Katrine 

Drive) 

The city council also plans to 

extend Marshland Domain.

Simon Britten 

writes about 

the benefits of 

the Neighbourhood Links 

building 

THE FORMER Redwood 

Plunket rooms have been unused 

since Plunket moved out in 2014, 

citing concerns over the strength 

of the building. 

Four years later, with the 

city council-owned facility in 

a near derelict state, work to 

clear the overgrown garden 

and refurbish the building 

commenced. 

Without the advocacy of 

community leaders, including 

Papanui city councillor Mike 

Davidson, it could have been 

even longer before funding for 

any work was allocated by the 

council. 

The price tag for this 

work started at $30,000, 

but ultimately ended up at 

$100,000. Apparently, the 

initial budget was not based 

on a detailed report and then, 

while work was under way,

discovered. 

I’ve seen this cost raise a few 

eyebrows in comments on the 

Think Papanui website. Would it 

have been better to just demolish 

the building, or might it have 

been cheaper to build something 

new? Clearly, something had to 

be done. Designing and building 

a new community facility, even 

a tiny one like this, isn’t going to 

come cheap. 

If the building was privately 

owned, maybe demolition and 

re-purposing of the site would 

have been more likely. 

Perhaps that illustrates the 

value of local government 

investing in a facility for 

the long-term benefit of the 

community. 

Now reopened as the 

Neighbourhood Links rooms, 

local community workers have a 

space to work from. 

They will be based in the 

community they’re serving, 

adjacent to other public 

amenities, including the 

Redwood Library and park, as 

well as near the shops and public 

transport. 

A local base is an important 

ingredient for a community-led 

project like Neighbourhood 

Links and I’m glad our 

community board and city 

council supported it.

• By Jess Gibson 

AFTER A lifetime of low 

self-esteem and a fear of 

injuries, Jennine White felt 

unfit, vulnerable and afraid to 

work out. 

Now the 33-year-old 

performance reporting analyst 

will take part in the 6km 

City2Surf run on March 24 

feeling better than ever. 

Mrs White decided to focus 

on her health in November 

after a visit to her doctor to 

talk about a shoulder injury 

turned into a discussion about 

how her lack of fitness was 

affecting her well-being. 

Her doctor recommended 

the ‘green prescription’, a 

free programme which offers 

advice from a physical activity 

coach. 

She received a plan from 

her coach Olivia Maisey and 

gained the confidence to 

participate in the City2Surf 

after she was encouraged to see 

a personal trainer, get injury 

rehabilitation and see a life 

coach. 

Mrs White is now positive 

she can push herself to do the 

6km event if she alternates 

between a brisk walk and a jog 

to take care of her injury. 

While she has finished with 

the green prescription, she 

said Miss Maisey has been like 

her “cheerleader.” She said her 

personal trainer, life coach, 

family and friends have all 

helped her to stay motivated. 

“People like me need 

someone in our corner and 

someone to help us fight 

through to get a better 

lifestyle,” she said. 

Mrs White said she is 

focussed on her well-being 

rather than losing weight, 

and feels “amazing” because 

of it. 

“My mental health is so 

much better, I have reduced 

anxiety and sleep so well. I 

feel like I’m on another planet 

now,” said Mrs White. 

Miss Maisey said it was good 

to see how extra support can 

make a difference to someone’s 

lifestyle. 

“She’s gone from doing 

barely any exercise to 

absolutely smashing it,” said 

Miss Maisey. 

“She has done amazing.”

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, as we 

navigate our way through the first few months of 

the year. Some of that is directly due to a recent 

set of experiences and my observations of how 

individuals perform when they are encouraged and 

praised. I know there’s nothing earth-shattering in 

that observation, but there’s definitely something 

compelling. 

Praise is defined as: The expression of approval 

or admiration for someone or something. 

And here’s the connection: 

Over the past weekend, I attended an event 

to support friends who were taking part in a 

regional sports challenge. Having seen them 

through their various transitions, I was off to 

find a spot on one of the backroads where I 

could wholeheartedly cheer them on. 

What I got to experience has given me a 

whole new insight into the value of praise 

because, on my small corner of the course, I 

was able to acknowledge and cheer on some 

200 athletes. The reaction to a simple sentence 

of encouragement was profound. To a man 

(and woman) many of the competitors picked 

their pace up, took the time to nod or smile 

and even (despite the difficulty of that moment 

in the event) shout out a quick ‘thank you’. All 

of us felt better for the exchange. It made me 

wonder how often we hinder each other’s 

progress by not positively acknowledging 

good work or offering praise based on a 

positive action. 

At this time of the year we are preparing for 

business planning, one of the most significant 

and serious parts of our annual calendar. 

Inevitably, we spend time analysing different 

aspects of the year, including our strengths, 

Shout Out & 

Praise Up! 

challenges and opportunities. Being in business, 

the opportunity to berate yourself for missing a 

target or botching a new process – or interacting 

without always considering the 100 other 

agendas – is always on the cards but the simple 

experience of being praised for the items done 

well goes a long way. 

A Stanford professor, Carol Dweck, has spent 

some 40 years studying the growth mindset and 

the part praise plays in it. Although her studies 

captured the responses of children when praised, 

I think the passage of years doesn’t make too 

much difference. So, make someone’s day by 

offering genuine encouragement and praise. 

For me, that shout out goes to homeowners, 

especially those that assist in the transaction 

process by heeding the recommendations of 

their property professionals and remaining open 

to measured, well-considered feedback. 

Like the cyclists I watched climbing steep hills, I 

also get to work with some consultants climbing 

incredible mountains of their own. Here’s to that 

ascent being praiseworthy and wholehearted 

whilst they deliver results for their clients. 

And, as far as the business planning we have ahead 

of us goes, another sports-based analogy comes 

to mind: 

Strengthen the core and disrupt the edges. 

Thank you, Bert.

Spotlight on suffragists 

Papanui Heritage Group’s 

Murray Williams and 

Christine Grant write about 

the suffragists from the 

suburb 

IN LAST week’s column, general 

information about the Papanui 

women who signed the 1893 

petition was reviewed. 

In this article, we look at some 

of these women who fought for 

the right to vote in a little more 

depth. 

Maria Sophia Pope, née Bloor, 

is undoubtedly the best known of 

this group. 

Born in London in 1818 and 

married to a dyer, Thomas Pope, 

she arrived in Christchurch in 

1862 and immediately displayed 

the entrepreneurial qualities that 

were to make her a household 

name in the city by opening a 

shop in Market Square (now 

Victoria Square). 

She advertised as ‘Mrs Pope, 

Importer of General and Fancy 

Stationery, Berlin Wools etc.’ 

Eventually she shifted her 

business to Colombo St and then 

to Cashel St. In 1887 she bought 

a residential property in Papanui 

on Schmidt St, which was later 

renamed Hawthorne Rd. She 

was living in this house when 

she signed the petition in 1893. 

She died in 1909, and in 1916, the

Square. PHOTO: ROBYN 

GOSSET 

business was reorganised and 

incorporated and continued to 

trade in Christchurch under the 

Mrs Pope brand until the 1990s. 

A Papanui branch was 

established at the Northlands 

mall in the 1970s and it became 

one of nine city branches selling 

a wide variety of clothing and 

imported wool. 

Alice Pattrick, who was born 

in Lincolnshire, England, in 1820 

arrived in Canterbury with her 

husband on the Cressy in December 

1850 and they gravitated 

to the Ashley district where they 

farmed. 

By 1893 she was widowed and 

was living in Papanui in Myrniong 

St (now Chapel St) when she 

signed the petition. She was 74 

when she died in 1894. An obituary 

in the Press mourned the loss 

of another link with the earliest 

settlers and noted that she had 

left three sons, four daughters,

Eliza Greenstreet (neé Mackie) 

arrived with her family in 1852 

and married in 1858. She and her 

husband moved out of Christchurch 

to Ringwood station in 

south Rakaia, where they did 

well enough to afford a townhouse 

on the corner of Mays and 

Papanui Rds where she was living 

when she signed the petition. 

Eliza had 10 children and died in 

1912 aged 69. 

Another signatory with 

strong Papanui links was Annie 

Hookham, who had been ‘head 

female’ on the staff at Papanui 

Primary School in the 1880s. She 

became president of the Canterbury 

Women’s Institute and 

her membership of the Fabian 

Society is evidence of her possessing 

advanced social views for 

the time.

A CELEBRATION is planned 

for April 5 and 6 to celebrate 

the past 65 years of educational 

history of Linwood College. 

In mid-2019, the school’s 

buildings will be demolished in 

preparation for a full rebuild on 

site. 

At $44 million the rebuild 

budget is one of the largest of 

any of the Ministry of Education’s 

rebuild programme since 

the February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

Students enrolled at the school 

will be relocated to old Avonside 

Girls’ High site for the full duration 

of the rebuild. 

When news of the rebuild was 

released, approaches were made 

to the school for an opportunity 

to celebrate its past. 

At the time it was built in 

1954, Linwood High was the 

first post-war co-educational 

school to open in the entire 

country. 

While the school looked more 

like a building site than an 

educational campus on opening 

day, the community soon 

proudly rallied around its new 

Local

high school and ensured it had 

the resources equivalent to any 

existing school in the city. 

To mark the demolition 

of the buildings a ticketed 

Conversazione event is being 

hosted on April 5 and a free 

open day on April 6. 

The event will end with a 

farewell ceremony at 3pm. This 

event is open to anyone in the 

community to attend. 

Past students from all over 

New Zealand and Australia 

have bought tickets to attend 

the farewell says the chair of the 

event’s organising committee 

Linda Rutland. 

“People have a real attachment 

to their old school with the 

original 1954s remaining a very 

tight-knit group.” 

Greater Christchurch state secondary school principals and 

boards of trustees have undertaken a joint effort to strengthen the 

current secondary network. One of the outcomes of this work 

is the proposed implementation of new enrolment schemes 

and amendments to existing enrolment schemes for some coeducational 

state secondary schools. There are seven secondary 

schools proposing to amend or implement a scheme, which are: 

• Burnside High School 

• Haeata Community Campus 

• Hillmorton High School 

• Linwood College 

• Mairehau High School 

• Papanui High School 

• Riccarton High School 

More information on this process and an online 

survey to gather feedback can be found at: 

www.shapingeducation.govt.nz/secondary 

There are also public meetings to gather feedback: 

• Wednesday 20th March, 7pm – 8pm – Hillmorton High School 

• Monday 25th March, 7pm – 8pm – Papanui High School 

• Tuesday 26th March, 7pm – 8pm – Riccarton High School

Strong summer of tennis earns reward 

OPTION ONE 

• By Gordon Findlater 

ST MARGARET’S College’s 

Abby Mason has been rewarded 

for a strong summer by being 

selected in the New Zealand 

Junior Fed Cup team to compete 

at the Asia-Oceania qualifying 

event. 

Abby, 15, received a phone 

call last week during a coaching 

session to learn she will be 

heading to the tournament in 

New Delhi from April 15 to 20. 

“It was such a good feeling,” 

said Abby. 

“It’s something I’ve been 

aiming for, but I didn’t think I 

was going to make it so it was 

quite a surprise.” 

Over the last six months Abby 

has turned her focus to tennis, 

something she believes has 

helped elevate her game. She 

previously swam competitively 

which involved training four 

times a week and attending 

meetings at the weekends. 

CALL UP: Fifteen-yearold 

Abby Mason has been 

selected to represent New 

Zealand at the Junior Fed 

Cup Asia-Oceania qualifying 

event in India.

She also played representative, 

club and school hockey last year. 

However, she will only play for 

school this year in her pursuit 

of improving her skills with the 

racket. 

“I’m putting a much 

bigger emphasis on tennis,” she 

said. 

“There was one point during 

the winter where I was playing 

more hockey than tennis. It 

definitely didn’t help at all, so 

hopefully, it will help my tennis 

this year.’’ 

Abby’s coach James Meredith 

has been impressed with the 

steps forward her game has taken 

over the summer after shifting 

more of a focus to tennis. He 

believes she has the right tools to 

succeed going forward. 

“She’s an all-rounder, there’s 

no real weaknesses in her game. 

She’s tall and has a big serve 

which means she can win a lot of 

free points. She’s very fit which 

her hockey has probably helped 

with,” said Meredith. 

“She always does well on beep 

tests and can scramble to win 

make balls to keep points alive.” 

Last month Abby picked up 

her first junior ITF ranking 

points after collecting two wins 

SPORT 

at the Tennis Canterbury ITF at 

Wilding Park. 

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 of 

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

round of 16. 

At the 16U New Zealand 

Junior Championships Abby 

was defeated in the quarterfinals 

by eventual champion 

Jade Otway 4-6, 3-6. However, 

Abby impressed at the 18U New 

Zealand Junior Championships 

with two wins – including a 6-4, 

7-5 win over eighth seed Ivy 

McLean – to reach the quarter 

final stage. 

Before heading to India with 

the New Zealand team Abby 

will represent St Margaret’s 

at the national secondary 

school champs at Wilding Park 

from March 25-28. She will 

also compete at two Tennis 

New Zealand Kiwi Money 

tournaments in Timaru and at 

Cashmere Tennis Club in March. 

In the future Abby hopes to 

play tennis for a United States 

college before seeing how far she 

can go in the sport.

St Andrew’s students 

make under-20 trial camp 

FORMER ST Andrew’s College 

first XV players Sam Gilbert 

and Shilo Klein have made the 

New Zealand under-20 final trial 

camp being held in Palmerston 

North next week. 

Both players are former STAC 

captains. Gilbert, a full-back, 

captained the side in 2016. Klein, 

a hooker, captained in 2017. 

Meanwhile, former Christ’s 

College mid-fielders Dallas 

McLeod and Isaiah Punivai will 

also attend the camp. 

Other former UC Championship 

players in the squad are 

Flether Newell (Rangiora High 

School) and Cullen Grace 

(Timaru Boys’ High School). 

New Zealand under-20 coach 

Craig Philpott said players have 

been working on individual 

programmes since their last 

assembly in December and they 

are eager to see progress. 

“We know a number of these 

players have been playing for 

their Super Rugby clubs in under-20 

and development teams 

so we expect to hit the ground 

running next week.” 

The trial camp includes position 

specific coaching in the lead 

up to two trial matches against 

the Hurricanes and Chiefs development 

teams. 

“This is a strong group of 

young athletes so as coaches we

have a tough job ahead of us 

in selecting the squad for next 

month’s Oceania Championship.” 

The New Zealand under-20 

team will compete at the Oceania 

Championships before 

heading to Argentina in June for 

the under-20 World Championships. 

World Rugby recently announced 

the draw for the 

tournament. New Zealand are 

tasked with a tough pool assignment 

coming up against South 

Africa, Scotland and Georgia 

with an eye on qualifying for the 

play-offs. 

Sam Darry, who captained 

Christ’s last year was considered, 

but was unavailable for selection 

due to injury.

the national junior secondary school boys tournament after 

defeating Nelson College in their regional final. 

• By Gordon Findlater 

CHRISTCHURCH BOYS’ High 

School’s junior cricket team will 

head to Palmerston North to 

take on the country’s best at the 

junior secondary school boys 

tournament. 

They booked their spot at the 

competition by defeating Nelson 

College by 41 in the regional 

final at Burnside Park last week. 

Batting first CBHS scored 180 

where opening batsman and 

captain Robbie Foulkes laid a 

good platform, while wicketkeeper 

batsman Easton Stocks 

also made a healthy contribution. 

They then completed the job 

by bowling out the opposition 

for 139 to book a spot at the 

competition they last won in 

2015. 

SPORT 

Finals spot for CBHS 

“They’re really pleased,” said

“They’re a committed group 

and are looking forward to 

testing themselves against the 

country’s best schools.”

College in the regional quarterfinal 

and Timaru Boys’ High 

School in the regional semi-final.
