New bottle<br />

store on<br />

track to<br />

open in<br />

Halswell<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

AN APPLICATION to open an<br />

off-licence bottle store in Halswell<br />

still appears to be on track.<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> reported two<br />

weeks ago Bottle-O Halswell<br />

Ltd had cancelled its contract<br />

to purchase a shop at The Oaks<br />

Village Halswell complex,<br />

indicating the bottle store would<br />

not go ahead.<br />

However, it has now been<br />

revealed Bottle-O Halswell Ltd is<br />

negotiating to lease the premises at<br />

29 Ensign St, instead of buying it.<br />

Director and shareholder Wendy<br />

Gibbons would not comment on<br />

whether it would be leasing the<br />

premises.<br />

In December, Bottle-O Halswell<br />

Ltd was granted an application to<br />

open an off-licence liquor store on<br />

Ensign St.<br />

The decision was appealed<br />

by the Halswell Residents’<br />

Association and a hearing is<br />

scheduled in May.<br />

An email from city council<br />

district licensing committee team<br />

leader Allison Houston to the<br />

Halswell Residents’ Association<br />

on February 25 confirmed the<br />

company is now negotiating to<br />

lease the premises.<br />

from the editor’s desk<br />

THE FALLOUT between Halswell<br />

residents over the community Facebook<br />

page has gone up a another notch (page 5).<br />

Greig Russell was ousted from the<br />

Halswell Community Group page after<br />

he posted a phone number of a motorist who had borrowed a<br />

wheel from him and then failed to return it.<br />

Russell asked the 11,000 or so Facebook members to call the<br />

guy, which he hoped would pressure him into returning the said<br />

goods. But that’s a no-no on the community page – and Russell<br />

was given the heave-ho.<br />

So he set up his own Facebook page, which <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />

reported last week.<br />

And now he’s upped the ante again, which the Halswell group<br />

has responded to.<br />

The gloves are off.<br />

Kahu Rd improvements finally passed<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

TWO COMMUNITY boards<br />

had to meet again last week to<br />

pass safety improvements for<br />

cyclists on a busy Fendalton<br />

road after a they failed to do it<br />

last year.<br />

The decision has come six<br />

months late because there<br />

were not enough<br />

Harewood and<br />

Halswell-Hornby-<br />

Riccarton<br />

Helen<br />

Craig<br />

community<br />

board members<br />

at a meeting in<br />

September to<br />

make a formal<br />

decision on the<br />

improvements to<br />

Kahu Rd outside<br />

Christchurch<br />

Boys’ High<br />

School.<br />

The original<br />

meeting was<br />

deemed invalid due to the<br />

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board only having<br />

four members present.<br />

A quorum of five members<br />

from each board is needed to<br />

make a formal decision.<br />

City council head of<br />

DELAYED: A decision to make Kahu Rd outside CBHS safer<br />

was delayed by six months due to a community board<br />

procedural error.<br />

community support, governance<br />

and partnerships John Filsell<br />

admitted an error was made and<br />

it had never happened before.<br />

Last year, CBHS expressed<br />

concerns over the safety of road<br />

users and the large number of<br />

students who cycle to the school.<br />

CBHS has had a significant<br />

redevelopment, causing cycle<br />

parking facilities to be relocated,<br />

which resulted in significantly<br />

greater cycle activity on Kahu<br />

Rd outside the school.<br />

The error meant all affected<br />

parties had to repeat their deputation<br />

to the boards again.<br />

Kahu Rd resident Leigh<br />

Webber said he was very disappointed<br />

in the process.<br />

Residents were concerned<br />

the city council staff recommendation<br />

to have drop-off and<br />

pick-up zones on both sides of<br />

Kahu Rd and no stopping on<br />

Girvan St would mean a loss of<br />

car parks. However, the board<br />

members went against the staff<br />

recommendation and approved<br />

the installation of a drop-off and<br />

pick-up zone on the north side<br />

of Kahu Rd.<br />

It will be in effect between<br />

8.30-9.30am and 2-4pm,<br />

Mondsay to Friday. Outside<br />

these times parking will be<br />

unrestricted. ​<br />

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board deputy<br />

chairwoman Helen Broughton<br />

said the boards decided to “take<br />

the middle path” to relieve some<br />

issues for the school and help<br />

residents.<br />

CBHS senior master Craig<br />

Dunnett said it would have been<br />

nice if the improvements had<br />

happened earlier.<br />

“Any change is a good change<br />

if it is going to make it safer<br />

for the school users and the<br />

community users on the road<br />

there,” he said.<br />

He said the school would<br />

have preferred the city council<br />

staff recommendation but<br />

understood residents were<br />

concerned about losing car<br />

parks.<br />

Mr Dunnett said the area<br />

outside the school was “an<br />

accident waiting to happen.”<br />

Mr Webber said the board<br />

made an acceptable decision, but<br />

it is the school’s responsibility to<br />

ensure its students’ safety.<br />

“CBHS are trying to transfer<br />

all the costs and trouble over<br />

to the public when the answer<br />

lies within the school itself,” Mr<br />

Webber said.<br />

Bottle store on track to open<br />

at The Oaks Village Halswell<br />

•From page 1<br />

Said Ms Houston: “We have<br />

been advised, (Bottle-O Halswell<br />

Ltd) are not withdrawing the<br />

application. They are however<br />

in the process of renegotiating<br />

their tenure from purchasing<br />

the premises in full to a leasing<br />

arrangement.”<br />

Residents’ association secretary<br />

David Hawke said it is working<br />

on its appeal and is in discussions<br />

with a lawyer about presenting its<br />

case in May.<br />

He did not have a view on the<br />

bottle store being leased, saying it<br />

was up to the applicant.<br />

The residents’ association’s<br />

original objection against the<br />

application stated there were<br />

sufficient facilities in Halswell for<br />

alcohol with Craythorne’s Public<br />

House, Super Liquor and New<br />

World Halswell.<br />

Mr Hawke said there is<br />

evidence any new bottle<br />

store going into an area<br />

significantly increases<br />

alcohol-related harm.<br />

But the decision<br />

granting the application<br />

said Mrs Gibbons had the<br />

experience necessary to safely<br />

PLANNED: A bottle store may still open at the The Oaks Village<br />

Halswell complex in Ensign St, Halswell.<br />

sell alcohol.<br />

It said alcohol-related harm<br />

would be minimised by good<br />

amenity in the area and the<br />

position of the store within the<br />

development.<br />

WAITING GAME: Quarry opponent Simon Moore is<br />

disappointed that Templeton residents received help on<br />

submission-writing but Weedons residents haven’t yet.<br />

Quarry opponents miss<br />

out on submission help<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

A QUARRY opponent is<br />

disappointed that some<br />

residents have missed out<br />

on submission writing help<br />

sessions.<br />

Templeton residents were<br />

offered six generic submission<br />

writing sessions by the city<br />

council in order to prepare for<br />

the battle against a proposed<br />

Fulton Hogan quarry near the<br />

area – but Weedons residents<br />

did not receive any sessions.<br />

Quarry opponent Simon<br />

Moore said a number of<br />

Weedons residents went to the<br />

city council organised sessions<br />

in Templeton as they did not<br />

have their own.<br />

Environment Canterbury<br />

consent and planning manager<br />

Virginia Loughnan said it and<br />

the Selwyn District Council will<br />

not provide the sessions until<br />

the resource consent application<br />

is publicly notified.<br />

“We are choosing to run these<br />

during the notification period<br />

as that is when the public can<br />

make submissions and therefore<br />

is more timely and can help<br />

inform an actual submission as<br />

the whole application will be<br />

available then,” she said.<br />

Said Mr Moore: “What’s the<br />

point of that? Why?”<br />

“Why do we have to wait? It’s<br />

going to be a rush as it is. I just<br />

don’t see any point,” he said.<br />

Fulton Hogan submitted a<br />

resource consent application<br />

to quarry near Templeton and<br />

Weedons in late November.<br />

Quake damage to historic<br />

lodge will be repaired<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />

Harding<br />

ONE OF the city’s oldest<br />

domestic buildings, located<br />

on Racecourse Rd, will be<br />

able to be lived in again<br />

after being unoccupied for<br />

about four years.<br />

The city council will<br />

carry out earthquake<br />

repairs on the historical<br />

Chokebore Lodge.<br />

Built in the 1850s, the<br />

lodge was sold to horse<br />

trainer and breeder Henry<br />

Redwood, who was later<br />

dubbed the father of New<br />

Zealand racing.<br />

Though Mr Redwood<br />

remained in Nelson, horses<br />

were trained at Chokebore<br />

by jockey and trainer Edward<br />

Cutts.<br />

City council capital<br />

delivery community manager<br />

Darren Moses said<br />

while a contractor needs<br />

to be engaged to provide a<br />

programme on the repairs,<br />

the preliminary date for<br />

handover is October next<br />

year.<br />

Following the February<br />

Standard.<br />

There was a severe<br />

failing of the western and<br />

northern cob walls and<br />

repair work is required to<br />

the other cob walls but to a<br />

lesser extent.<br />

The timber-framed<br />

living area has damage<br />

to the fireplace and all<br />

chimneys have to<br />

be repaired and<br />

strengthened.<br />

The brick cook house<br />

area also requires repairs.<br />

The project will cost<br />

$1.17 million.<br />

Mr Moses said the<br />

procurement process has<br />

not as yet commenced, so<br />

currently, it does not have<br />

a builder engaged on the<br />

project.<br />

OUTSPOKEN Halswell resident<br />

Greig Russell has always believed<br />

in the power of free speech.<br />

After being removed from a<br />

community Facebook page in<br />

Halswell of nearly 11,000 members<br />

for posting a mobile number<br />

online, the 40-year-old steel<br />

fabricator has taken a stand on<br />

people having the right to speak<br />

their mind.<br />

Mr Russell set up his own<br />

community Facebook page called<br />

Halswell Community Page Uncensored<br />

after falling out with the<br />

administrators of the Halswell<br />

Community Group page.<br />

Now bumper stickers with<br />

#bringbackgreigrussell and<br />

#LETSMAKEHALSWELL-<br />

GREATAGAIN have begun to<br />

appear around the suburb.<br />

Mr Russell said the idea is to<br />

spread the message of free speech.<br />

The bumper stickers have appeared<br />

on the back of cars, on<br />

children’s school bags and even<br />

on community food shelf the<br />

Sharing Shack in Halswell.<br />

Halswell Community Project<br />

chairwoman and one of the administrators<br />

Chrys Horn said Mr<br />

Russell won’t be added back into<br />

the group until he can prove he<br />

can behave on the page.<br />

“If he has merchandise he<br />

Greig Russell Chrys Horn<br />

obviously doesn’t know when to<br />

stop . . . our Facebook team still<br />

feel fairly harassed, we have now<br />

quietly got rid of him,” she said.<br />

Mr Russell said everyone, part<br />

of a community, has got a different<br />

opinion and it wasn’t right for a<br />

“In a roundabout way, you<br />

could say it is an abuse of power<br />

But Dr Horn said the group<br />

could not be seen as dictators.<br />

his spare. One of the men gave him<br />

his phone number and promised to<br />

return the spare tyre the next day.<br />

But nothing eventuated and Mr<br />

Russell’s calls were blocked.<br />

To pressure the man, he asked<br />

members of the Halswell Community<br />

Group to phone the<br />

number and ask for the wheel’s<br />

return. It was returned after<br />

several weeks.<br />

Dr Horn said: “It is not legal to<br />

post somebody’s phone number<br />

and to get complete strangers<br />

to ring them up on your behalf<br />

when there is no evidence that<br />

what you said is what went. That<br />

is harassment.”<br />

Mr Russell said it was not<br />

harassment, it was asking for a<br />

favour from the community.<br />

in Halswell, has been asked by<br />

several residents to run for mayor<br />

for the elections in October.<br />

putting my name in the ballot<br />

. . . Tim Shadbolt does it, he is all<br />

right. I like him,” he said.<br />

Dr Horn said while she<br />

wouldn’t vote for Mr Russell,<br />

he would be very good at<br />

campaigning and if the public<br />

wanted a mayor who knew how<br />

to make a “loud noise,” he could<br />

do it.<br />

Chance for student to connect with China<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

TIM MARSHALL has a strong<br />

interest in connecting people to<br />

China.<br />

So it is only fitting Canterbury<br />

University’s Global China Connection<br />

club president will travel<br />

to Washington next month to<br />

a global summit aiming to give<br />

young people business and cultural<br />

opportunities.<br />

The 20-year-old Halswell resident<br />

has been selected to attend<br />

the Global China Connection<br />

Summit in Washington, DC.<br />

The summit runs for two days<br />

and will include meeting with<br />

future leaders from US universities,<br />

speakers from Chinese and<br />

US humanitarian agencies and<br />

other members from GCC clubs<br />

around the world.<br />

It will be Mr Marshall’s first<br />

time travelling to the event, after<br />

being involved in the Global<br />

China Connection club for<br />

about two years before becoming<br />

president in November.<br />

“I think it is important because<br />

they (China) are trying to<br />

play a huge part in our economy<br />

and we have a lot of culture relations<br />

now.<br />

“We have a lot of students<br />

coming across now, I think it is<br />

important we all have all good<br />

SUCCESSFUL: With a strong interest in international relations,<br />

Halswell resident Tim Marshall is going to Washington next<br />

month for the Global China Connection Summit in Washington<br />

DC. ​<br />

strategies and ways to manage<br />

that and understand each other,”<br />

Mr Marshall said.<br />

He has just started his third<br />

year studying a Bachelor of<br />

Commerce at Canterbury University<br />

and is hoping to work in<br />

international relations when he<br />

graduates.<br />

“Helping New Zealand business<br />

connect with the Asian<br />

region or vice versa. I think it is<br />

really important we have those<br />

strong ties,” Mr Marshall said.<br />

He first became interested in<br />

China about two years ago while<br />

working with Chinese students<br />

on a language technology project.<br />

At the end of 2017, he<br />

travelled to Beijing for five<br />

weeks to research the culture<br />

and how to increase migration<br />

from China into Canterbury as<br />

part of the Canterbury Mayoral<br />

Forum.<br />

“It is on another level, it is an<br />

incredible place . . . the culture<br />

of the place is totally different,”<br />

Mr Marshall said.<br />

The key difference that stood<br />

out to him was the city having a<br />

rental bicycle system similar to<br />

the Lime scooters – where they<br />

can be picked up and dropped<br />

off from anywhere.<br />

Phones were also used as a<br />

form of payment instead of<br />

credit cards and the agriculture<br />

technology was very advanced,<br />

Mr Marshall said.<br />

He said while China and New<br />

Zealand’s political systems are<br />

different, the two countries have<br />

a good connection.<br />

Mr Marshall said businesses<br />

such as China Southern Airlines<br />

has been helpful to the city<br />

and sponsoring Canterbury<br />

University.<br />

Have your say<br />

on Kyle Park<br />

CHANGES NEEDED to pave the<br />

way for a Hornby mega-facility<br />

to be built at Kyle Park have gone<br />

out for public consultation.<br />

The city council needs to<br />

make changes to the Kyle Park<br />

Management Plan and the area’s<br />

reserve classification in order for<br />

the Hornby Library, Customer<br />

built.<br />

The changes would apply to<br />

the north-east corner adjacent to<br />

Waterloo Rd and Smarts Rd —<br />

the part of the Kyle Park proposed<br />

for the new facility.<br />

The rest of the park will remain<br />

unaffected.<br />

It is after the Halswell-Hornby-<br />

Riccarton Community Board<br />

approved having the management<br />

plan go out for public<br />

consultation and to reclassify part<br />

of Kyle Park recently.<br />

The Hornby facility and<br />

associated car parks will make up<br />

four per cent of the total park area.<br />

The city council is proposing to<br />

reclassify 1.52ha, which is 17.5 per<br />

cent of the total part area<br />

Park decision questionable<br />

Halswell-<br />

Hornby-<br />

Riccarton<br />

Community<br />

Board deputy<br />

chairwoman<br />

Helen<br />

Broughton<br />

writes about the decision<br />

to build the Hornby<br />

mega-facility at Kyle Park<br />

ON DECEMBER 5, 2018, the<br />

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board determined<br />

by a narrow vote, five to four, that<br />

Kyle Park be the site for the new<br />

$35.7 million Hornby Library,<br />

Customer Services and South<br />

West Leisure Centre.<br />

The originally chosen site, Denton<br />

Park, was rejected by a city<br />

council panel considering reserve<br />

reclassification after strong presentations<br />

from the community.<br />

The community board<br />

unanimously accepted the panel’s<br />

recommendation.<br />

Council is taking considerable<br />

risk in building a pool on uncontrolled<br />

landfill.<br />

Asbestos is present and 50 per<br />

cent of some areas are organic<br />

material; leachate testing has not<br />

been done.<br />

The initial geotechnical advice<br />

to the community board was that<br />

this site was difficult to remediate,<br />

costing between $8 to $10<br />

million, possibly higher.<br />

After additional testing at the<br />

board’s request, the additional<br />

cost was reduced to $ 5.8 million.<br />

The $5.8 million reduces the<br />

scale of the facility, as council<br />

has made it clear that the cost<br />

of ensuring land stability comes<br />

out of the $35.7 million budget<br />

allocation.<br />

Hornby will receive a smaller<br />

facility because of remediation<br />

costs.<br />

The cost of remediation could<br />

go higher – in my experience, few<br />

city council projects on<br />

flawed land come in at the estimated<br />

price.<br />

Any additional funding<br />

required reduces the size and<br />

facilities of the complex.<br />

There is a requirement for gas<br />

DECISION: Last year a<br />

narrow Halswell-Hornby-<br />

Riccarton Community Board<br />

vote determined Kyle Park<br />

would be the location for the<br />

Hornby Library, Customer<br />

Services and South West<br />

Leisure Centre.<br />

testing that will take another six<br />

to <strong>12</strong> months and a reclassification<br />

application together with<br />

resource consents are required.<br />

Why was the decision rushed?<br />

The complex will not be completed<br />

until late 2022.<br />

The four board members<br />

who voted against Kyle had not<br />

discarded Kyle but merely wanted<br />

it considered with other options-<br />

Sockburn School, Waterloo Business<br />

Park and Warren Park.<br />

Unfortunately, all have complications<br />

– there is no ideal site.<br />

In my view, the board had the<br />

responsibility to consider these<br />

options and undertake further<br />

community consultation.<br />

This is a major project – southwest<br />

residents deserve the best<br />

possible facility.<br />

Bupa resident<br />

shares wheelchair<br />

safety message<br />

•From page 1<br />

More than 30 residents use<br />

wheelchairs at the care home.<br />

Ms Crothall ran her first<br />

session recently and will be<br />

rolling other sessions out to<br />

Bupa care homes.<br />

Ms Crothall said power chair,<br />

manual chair and scooter safety<br />

is “near and dear” to her heart<br />

after her power chair went off a<br />

kerb about a year ago.<br />

“I couldn’t see the kerb and I<br />

went flying,” she said.<br />

Ms Crothall said while she<br />

hit her head and had to have<br />

her arm X-rayed, she was not<br />

injured from the fall.<br />

“I had a tray on my<br />

wheelchair and it was a blue<br />

sparkly one and I couldn’t see<br />

off the end of it . . .<br />

I advise people to have a clear<br />

one, so you can see through,”<br />

she said.<br />

Ms Crothall said since the<br />

accident she has decided to see<br />

how she can improve safety for<br />

other wheelchair users.<br />

“I was determined to make<br />

it my responsibility to do<br />

everything I can in my power<br />

to stop any more of that<br />

happening,” she said.<br />

The sessions will discuss<br />

a wide range of tips for<br />

wheelchair users.<br />

Ms Crothall said key tips<br />

include always wearing a<br />

seat belt inside and outside,<br />

ensuring the wheelchair has<br />

a rear vision mirror, wearing<br />

a flag and going at a sensible<br />

speed.<br />

“You are essentially a car<br />

when you are using a scooter or<br />

a powered chair”.<br />

Ms Crothall, who was<br />

born with spina bifida, said<br />

it is also important to consider<br />

any other impairments a person<br />

may have when they are using<br />

the chair.<br />

“If I had to have an option<br />

of people making fun of me<br />

or teasing me for doing what I<br />

am doing or being unsafe . . . I<br />

would pick wearing safety gear.<br />

It is not worth the risk.”<br />

Ms Durning said the sessions<br />

have been great for improving<br />

safety.<br />

Head students outline their goals<br />

SCHOOLS<br />

NEWLY-ELECTED head<br />

students from across the western<br />

area of the city write about their<br />

goals for the year.<br />

Next week the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />

will feature Christchurch Boys’<br />

High School, Christchurch Girls’<br />

High School and Riccarton High<br />

School:<br />

Middleton Grange<br />

School head boy and girl<br />

Zinan Bennett and Jessica<br />

Swan<br />

“A dead thing can go with the<br />

stream, but only a living thing can<br />

go against it.” - G.K. Chesterton<br />

We are Zinan Bennett and<br />

Jessica Swan, and we are<br />

privileged to serve Middleton<br />

Grange School as head boy and<br />

head girl in <strong>2019</strong>.<br />

As representatives of the pupil<br />

leadership team, it is our greatest<br />

desire, that as we lead, pupils<br />

would feel a passion stir in their<br />

hearts to “swim upstream,”<br />

that they would be equipped<br />

and encouraged to stand up for<br />

what they believe in, and greatly<br />

influence where they believe<br />

change is necessary.<br />

By integrating the core<br />

values of character, excellence<br />

and service into our various<br />

leadership teams (ie. Waiora,<br />

environment and culture) we<br />

want our peers to be motivated<br />

to do whatever they feel<br />

called to, wholeheartedly and<br />

unashamedly.<br />

Ultimately, Middleton longs<br />

in all it does to bring honour<br />

and glory to God as a school that<br />

seeks His favour and wisdom<br />

before all else.<br />

Regardless of each individual<br />

pupil’s convictions, we hope<br />

that through exposure to<br />

various opportunities, such as<br />

the new centre for leadership<br />

development and influence, or<br />

the international ambassador<br />

programme, pupils would find<br />

and act upon what inspires them.<br />

Middleton Grange School head girl Jessica Swan and head boy<br />

Zinan Bennett ​<br />

Every great change begins<br />

with a dream and, in the words<br />

of Harriet Tubman: “Every great<br />

dream begins with a dreamer.”<br />

So this year, it is our greatest<br />

hope to see pupils begin to<br />

dream and find their purpose.<br />

Resulting from this, we can all<br />

lead, as a student-faculty, from a<br />

place of influence and passion.<br />

Hornby High School head<br />

students Lachlan Hickford<br />

and Shardey Harris<br />

As a prefect team, we want<br />

to be able to make a positive<br />

impact on our school and build<br />

a community spirit that we can<br />

be proud of. We plan to run fun<br />

events and activities all year<br />

long, aiming to get as many<br />

students engaged as we can. We<br />

also wish to create a legacy that<br />

we can all be proud of through<br />

creating positive experiences for<br />

everyone in the school and the<br />

wider Hornby community.<br />

Lachlan – This year my main<br />

focus is to be a positive role<br />

model for the school through my<br />

role as head boy.<br />

I also aim to gain excellence<br />

endorsed overall for level 3<br />

NCEA and gain UE for an audio<br />

production degree at MAINZ<br />

next year.<br />

I am actively involved in<br />

playing football for club and<br />

school, and I also enjoy writing<br />

and performing music, especially<br />

through the music programme<br />

at Hornby High.<br />

I have always looked up to the<br />

prefects and head students ever<br />

since I started at Hornby High.<br />

I saw the positive influence they<br />

had on other students and it<br />

encouraged me to want to take<br />

an active leadership role in the<br />

school.<br />

The main reason that I wanted<br />

to be a head student was to give<br />

back to my school by sharing my<br />

experiences, and the knowledge<br />

I have learnt along the way with<br />

the younger students of the<br />

school, in the hope that they feel<br />

more comfortable to take pride<br />

in themselves and their school.<br />

Shardey – This year my<br />

focus is to keep a balance<br />

between my role as head girl,<br />

whilst maintaining good<br />

academic grades. This is so I can<br />

give back to my school as much<br />

as I can, while still aiming to<br />

achieve level 3 NCEA endorsed<br />

Hornby High School head students Lachlan Hickford and<br />

Shardey Harris:<br />

with excellence.<br />

It is also important for me to<br />

know what direction I will be<br />

going in after leaving school,<br />

as I am still on the journey of<br />

discovering what I am most<br />

passionate about.<br />

I wanted to become a head<br />

student because I was inspired<br />

by prefects from previous years<br />

who served others because of the<br />

pure fulfilment and joy they got<br />

out of it. I want to be able to help<br />

guide and support those younger<br />

than me, make a positive<br />

difference in their lives and share<br />

some of my school experiences<br />

with them that they can learn<br />

from.<br />

I also hope to encourage<br />

students to embrace who they<br />

are and take pride in themselves<br />

as individuals and as part of the<br />

wider Hornby whānau.<br />

Burnside High School<br />

head boy Ofa Puleiku – As<br />

a person, I have always tried<br />

to spread positivity amongst<br />

everyone I meet and I have<br />

always enjoyed supporting<br />

people and helping people.<br />

I knew that if I had got the role<br />

of head prefect I would be able<br />

to influence more people than<br />

I would usually and spread the<br />

positivity to a wider range of<br />

people.<br />

I also wanted to inspire other<br />

young Pasifika students to strive<br />

for the best to<br />

express their<br />

leadership<br />

qualities and<br />

capabilities.<br />

My main goal<br />

this year was<br />

to boost school<br />

culture, to get<br />

more students<br />

along to events<br />

to support<br />

Ofa Puleiku<br />

their fellow<br />

students. If we<br />

had the whole<br />

school learn the school waiata<br />

and school haka it would be a<br />

powerful thing to perform it in<br />

support of a sports team or at<br />

graduation.<br />

Sports, especially rugby, has<br />

had a major impact on my life<br />

and it’s something I have always<br />

enjoyed.<br />

I have also always been in<br />

love with art and the ability<br />

to express yourself with not<br />

only visual art but also<br />

performing.<br />

– My life revolves around my<br />

hobbies, such as sport, cultural<br />

events and leadership roles. Being<br />

head girl of<br />

Burnside High<br />

School has<br />

always been a<br />

goal of mine.<br />

Leadership is<br />

something that<br />

is something<br />

important<br />

to me as it<br />

provides an<br />

opportunity to<br />

make a change<br />

and to help at<br />

the ultimate<br />

level. This is the main reason why<br />

I applied to be head girl as I had<br />

the chance to achieve the goals I<br />

have to enhance the well-being of<br />

our school as a whole.<br />

In particular, the goals I have<br />

for Burnside High School is encouraging<br />

a supportive environment<br />

around our school where<br />

everyone feels included and<br />

shows school pride.<br />

Being of Māori descent I wish<br />

to promote a culturally diverse<br />

school that empowers its students<br />

and embraces the bicultural<br />

aspect of Aotearoa.<br />

Villa Maria head girl<br />

Eadaoin Roughan<br />

Kia ora koutou,<br />

My name is Eadaoin Roughan<br />

and this year I have been given<br />

the privilege of representing Villa<br />

Maria College<br />

as head girl.<br />

I am a proud<br />

New Zealandborn<br />

Solomon<br />

Islander, and<br />

I love the<br />

sciences and<br />

maths.<br />

I came to<br />

Villa Maria<br />

College in 2015<br />

as a year 9 student<br />

and over<br />

the years have<br />

come to learn what it means to be<br />

a Villa girl.<br />

Through its special character,<br />

Villa weaves the values of<br />

SCHOOLS<br />

Students’ goals<br />

Roughan<br />

Tuesday <strong>March</strong> <strong>12</strong> <strong>2019</strong><br />

Whakaute (respect), Manaakitanga<br />

(hospitality) and Tika (justice)<br />

into all aspects of college life.<br />

Whether it be through service,<br />

academics or cultural aspects of<br />

the school, all students reflect<br />

these values.<br />

Mercy Day is one of my favourite<br />

events of the school year. Every<br />

second year, Villa Maria College<br />

hosts a Mercy Day, inviting other<br />

students from the community<br />

with disabilities to take part in<br />

fun activities with the students<br />

from Villa.<br />

Last year, a petting zoo was<br />

set up on the school grounds for<br />

visitors and students to interact<br />

with. The students also organised<br />

a wide range of interesting activities<br />

for our visitors. My group<br />

hosted a gingerbread decorating<br />

activity that was very popular<br />

among all.<br />

However, the highlight of<br />

Mercy Day is the concert that<br />

we put on, which was enjoyed by<br />

students and visitors alike.<br />

Villa offers a wide variety of<br />

opportunities for all students.<br />

Last year, I had the privilege<br />

of meeting the New Zealand<br />

Governor-General Dame Patsy<br />

Reddy, which was an inspiring<br />

experience.<br />

This year, the college leaders<br />

and I will focus on encouraging<br />

Villa girls to try something new<br />

and give every opportunity a go.<br />

I will also introduce a Māori<br />

“word of the week” to our college<br />

community, each new word will be<br />

one of encouragement, for example<br />

“Ka wani kē” meaning “wow.”<br />

A great amount of support<br />

comes from all my family, friends<br />

and teachers, without them I<br />

wouldn’t be where I am today.<br />

This support keeps me going and<br />

encourages me to achieve more<br />

and more.<br />

At Villa, there is so much talent<br />

in every student which inspires<br />

me too, we support and inspire<br />

each other, which creates a great<br />

environment for everyone.<br />

Following my graduation at<br />

the end of <strong>2019</strong>, I hope to study<br />

chemistry and biology at university.<br />

However, I like to focus on the<br />

present, and experience all this<br />

year has to offer.<br />

Strong summer of<br />

tennis earns reward<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

FENDALTON resident Abby<br />

Mason has been rewarded for a<br />

strong summer by being selected<br />

in the New Zealand Junior Fed<br />

Cup team to compete at the<br />

Asia-Oceania qualifying event.<br />

Abby, 15, received a phone<br />

call last week during a coaching<br />

session to learn she will be<br />

heading to the tournament in<br />

New Delhi from April 15 to 20.<br />

“It was such a good feeling,”<br />

said Abby.<br />

“It’s something I’ve been<br />

aiming for, but I didn’t think I<br />

was going to make it so it was<br />

quite a surprise.”<br />

Over the last six months Abby<br />

has turned her focus to tennis,<br />

something she believes has<br />

helped elevate her game. She<br />

previously swam competitively<br />

which involved training four<br />

times a week and attending<br />

meetings at the weekends.<br />

She also played representative,<br />

club and school hockey last year.<br />

However, she will only play for<br />

school this year in her pursuit<br />

of improving her skills with the<br />

racket.<br />

“I’m putting a much<br />

bigger emphasis on tennis,” she<br />

said.<br />

“There was one point during<br />

the winter where I was playing<br />

more hockey than tennis. It<br />

definitely didn’t help at all, so<br />

hopefully, it will help my tennis<br />

this year.’’<br />

Abby’s coach James Meredith<br />

has been impressed with the<br />

steps forward her game has<br />

taken over the summer after<br />

shifting more of a focus to<br />

tennis. He believes she has the<br />

right tools to succeed going<br />

forward.<br />

“She’s an all-rounder, there’s<br />

no real weaknesses in her game.<br />

She’s tall and has a big serve<br />

which means she can win a<br />

lot of free points. She’s very fit<br />

which her hockey has probably<br />

helped with,” said Meredith.<br />

“She always does well on beep<br />

tests and can scramble to win<br />

make balls to keep points alive.”<br />

Last month Abby picked up<br />

represent New Zealand at the Junior Fed Cup Asia-Oceania<br />

qualifying event in India .PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />

her first junior ITF ranking<br />

points after collecting two wins<br />

at the Tennis Canterbury ITF at<br />

Wilding Park.<br />

Abby defeated 16th seed<br />

Amy Stevens from Australia<br />

in the first round 7-6, 6-4. She<br />

then beat China’s Zijun Jiang<br />

5-7, 6-2, 6-3 before falling to<br />

17-year-old Holly Stewart of<br />

Auckland 6-3, 2-6, 1-6 in the<br />

round of 16.<br />

At the 16U New Zealand<br />

Junior Championships Abby<br />

was defeated in the quarterfinals<br />

by eventual champion<br />

Jade Otway 4-6, 3-6. However,<br />

Abby impressed at the 18U New<br />

Zealand Junior Championships<br />

WESTERN NEWS<br />

with two wins – including a 6-4,<br />

7-5 win over eighth seed Ivy<br />

McLean – to reach the quarter<br />

final stage.<br />

Before heading to India with<br />

the New Zealand team Abby<br />

will represent St Margaret’s<br />

College at the national<br />

secondary school champs at<br />

Wilding Park from <strong>March</strong><br />

25-28. She will also compete at<br />

two Tennis New Zealand Kiwi<br />

Money tournaments in Timaru<br />

and at Cashmere Tennis Club in<br />

<strong>March</strong>.<br />

In the future Abby hopes to<br />

play tennis for a United States<br />

college before seeing how far she<br />

can go in the sport.<br />

Getting fit for<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

AFTER A lifetime of low<br />

self-esteem and a fear of injuries,<br />

Jennine White felt unfit,<br />

vulnerable and afraid to work<br />

out.<br />

Now the 33-year-old<br />

performance reporting analyst<br />

will take part in the 6km<br />

City2Surf run on <strong>March</strong> 24<br />

feeling better than ever.<br />

Mrs White decided to focus on<br />

her health in November after a<br />

visit to her doctor to talk about<br />

a shoulder injury turned into a<br />

discussion about how her lack<br />

of fitness was affecting her wellbeing.<br />

Her doctor recommended<br />

the ‘green prescription’, a free<br />

programme which offers advice<br />

from a physical activity coach.<br />

She received a plan from her<br />

coach Olivia Maisey and gained<br />

the confidence to participate<br />

in the City2Surf after she was<br />

encouraged to see a personal<br />

trainer, get injury rehabilitation<br />

and see a life coach.<br />

Mrs White is now positive she<br />

can push herself to do the 6km<br />

event if she alternates between a<br />

brisk walk and a jog to take care<br />

of her injury.<br />

While she has finished with<br />

the green prescription, she<br />

said Miss Maisey has been like<br />

her “cheerleader”. She said her<br />

personal trainer, life coach,<br />

family and friends have all helped<br />

her to stay motivated.<br />

“People like me need someone<br />

in our corner and someone to<br />

help us fight through to get a<br />

better lifestyle,” she said.<br />

Mrs White said she is focussed<br />

on her well-being rather<br />

than losing weight, and feels<br />

“amazing” because of it.<br />

“My mental health is so much<br />

better, I have reduced anxiety<br />

and sleep so well. I feel like I’m<br />

on another planet now,” said Mrs<br />

White.<br />

Miss Maisey said it was good to<br />

see how extra support can make a<br />

difference to someone’s lifestyle.<br />

FINALS-BOUND: CBHS’ junior cricket side have advanced to<br />

the national junior secondary school boys tournament after<br />

defeating Nelson College in their regional final. ​<br />

Finals spot for CBHS<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

CHRISTCHURCH BOYS’ High<br />

School’s junior cricket team will<br />

head to Palmerston North to<br />

take on the country’s best at the<br />

junior secondary school boys<br />

tournament.<br />

They booked their spot at the<br />

competition by defeating Nelson<br />

College by 41 in the regional<br />

final at Burnside Park last week.<br />

Batting first CBHS scored 180<br />

where opening batsman and<br />

captain Robbie Foulkes laid a<br />

good platform, while wicketkeeper<br />

batsman Easton Stocks<br />

also made a healthy contribution.<br />

They then completed the job<br />

by bowling out the opposition<br />

for 139 to book a spot at the<br />

competition they last won in<br />

2015.<br />

“They’re really pleased,” said<br />

coach Rob Smith.<br />

“They’re a committed group<br />

and are looking forward to<br />

testing themselves against the<br />

country’s best schools.”<br />

CBHS also had wins over<br />

Christ’s College in the regional<br />

quarter-final and Timaru Boys’<br />
