Passion for music leaves law behind
OVERWHELMED: A special farewell concert will be held for pianist, composer and musical director Matt Everingham before
he heads to the United States.

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
MATT EVERINGHAM could
have easily chosen to pursue a
prospering career in the legal
profession.
During the summer he
passed a course at the
Institute of Professional
Legal Studies, which has given
him the right to go to court to
pass the bar. But while juggling
his studies in law, over the years
Everingham has managed to
establish himself as a pianist,
composer and musical director
– and has made it his
profession in the city for the
past six years.

cinema
complex
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
AN EIGHT-CINEMA complex
could open at Wigram Skies.
Canterbury Property
Investments Ltd has made a
resource consent application
to open a multi-cinema at The
Landing.
The proposed complex, presently
known as Silky Otter would
have a total of eight cinemas
– each with 50 seats, a lounge,
retail/food and beverage counter.
Waiting areas, meeting rooms,
bathroom facilities and a total of
41 car parks will be accommodated
in the site area, along with
a new access point to Corsair
Drive.
A city council spokesman said
the resource consent is currently
on hold and awaiting further
information.
The vacant site at The Runway
is 3141m2 and the proposal comprises
an architecturally-designed
building of 1405m2 in gross floor
area.

MORE EVIDENCE on page 1 today of
the rapidly expanding suburbs in the
south-west.
Canterbury Property Investments Ltd, a
big player in the rebuild, wants to build an
eight-cinema complex at The landing in Wigram Skies.
That’s a smart move from the company as the area continues
to boom.
Bars, cafes, retail and health services have and are moving
into Wigram to capitalise on what provides the dollars – people.
The complex will be called the Silky Otter. I haven’t seen any
in the Wigram area, but it’s not a bad sort of a name.
Community groups and the community board are behind the
idea, so while the plan has to go through the resource consent
process, I’d say it’s a home run.

Quarry consent conditions review
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A RISE in the number of heavy
vehicles using a small country
lane in Yaldhurst has led to a
quarry company’s consenting
conditions being formally
reviewed.
The city council is reviewing
the conditions which originally
allowed SOL Quarries Ltd to
establish a gravel quarry at
Guys Rd.
Yaldhurst
residents are
fed up with
quarry trucks

School, Guys and
Hasketts Rds
Aaron
throughout the
day, a city council
spokesman said.
Campbell
“Council staff are aware of
community concerns regarding
heavy vehicle usage on Schools
and Hasketts Rd and are
currently involved in reviewing
the issues,” he said.
The formal review set out in
the Resource Management Act
will ultimately be considered by
a commissioner, the spokesman
said.
The conditions in the resource
consent approved in 2016
encouraged heavy trucks to use
alternative routes to School Rd/

using narrow roads.
Hasketts Rd. The commissioner
decision for the consent stated
none of the experts on the panel
supported the use of the route.
While the panel did not want
the route to be used, it was
decided not to make a specific
condition preventing heavy
trucks from using it.
SOL Quarries Ltd manager
Simon Apperley said it has
recently met with the city
council, sent it all required
information and completed a
quarry compliance audit.
He said the city council also
has the opportunity to review
the quarry conditions every 12
months and SOL Quarries Ltd
has been working with it, along
with Environment Canterbury,
on trucking and general quarry
regulations.
Mr Apperley said it has put
a lot of emphasis on School Rd
and has met with Yaldhurst
Model School representatives,
which had positive outcomes.
But Yaldhurst residents are
still unhappy with the number
of trucks using the road.
The Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
has also requested an update on
the review’s progress.
Board member Aaron
Campbell said residents are
putting up with vibrations from
the heavy vehicles going past.
“The corners are quite
narrow, there is worries there
that turning heavy vehicles
move across into opposing lanes
of traffic around School Rd,” he
said.
School Rd resident Adrienne
van Rig said it is a narrow road
with no footpaths and she is
concerned about children using
the road who attend Yaldhurst
Model School.
But Yaldhurst Model
School principal Allan
Robertson said the school has
not noticed any issues with
heavy trucks.

TREES LIKELY TO STAY
The future of 22 trees at Villa
Grove will be decided today by
the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board. Western
News reported in September Villa
Grove residents wanted them
removed. The residents presented
a 24-signature petition to the
board, calling for the trees to be
cut down. City council staff have
recommended the trees not be
removed.
NEW CAR PARK PLAN
A new car park could be installed
at the south side of the Halswell
Domain. The proposed car
park would be located along the
Edward Stafford Ave frontage. It
is due to the high use of Halswell
Domain, which has led to parking
pressure. The Halswell-Hornby-
Riccarton Community Board will
look to approve the car park at its
meeting today.
FREE COOKING CLASS
Free cooking classes for older

Kirkwood Intermediate
School of Choice
Celebrating Kirkwood House
Captains for 2019
Year 7 Camp
Our Year 7 pupils have recently
attended a camp at Purau Bay.
This is a great way for the children
to get to know each other.
Canadian canoeing was my favourite part of camp, it
was really fun racing each other. We enjoyed playing
football, the game predator and kick the can. It was
a great way to get to know each other and I hope this
camp continues for years to come. We had the most
amazing parent helpers which we really enjoyed. We
also learnt to cooperate with each other and it gave us
an opportunity to get to know our class mates better.
From the left: Jakub I, Sofia M, Ariel S, Elham N, Callum S, Emanuela M,
Carsyn W, Sophie M
House Captains for Mansfield/Hillary
Callum - Ex Prebbleton School I love Kirkwood Intermediate because
there are a lot of opportunities for sport and leadership. I would like to
make the Basket A Team and look forward to experiencing the Chinese
culture when I travel to China on the school trip. I wanted to be House
Captain to improve my leadership skills and so I can be a good role model
for the school.
Emanuela - Ex Clearview Primary Kirkwood provides many different
opportunities for us to experience. I will like to work on achieving an allround
elite Blue which is part of our Kirkwood Blues Awards. My goal in
Year 7 was to show my leadership skills in Year 8.
House Captains for Sheppard/Freyberg
Carsyn - Ex West Spreydon I enjoy Kirkwood because it has so many
opportunities. This year, I would like to earn another Blues Award as well
as learn as much as I can. This year I want to help others and ensure
everyone is happy.
Sophie M - Ex Halswell Primary School I love the many opportunities
available at Kirkwood and I would like to be involved as much as possible
while being a good role model. I will enjoy being a great leader and making
Sheppard/Freyberg the best house.
House Captains for Britten/Te Kanawa
Jakub - Ex Rolleston School Kirkwood Intermediate School has a great
atmosphere, with amazing pupils and staff. There are so many opportunities
you can do and no one judges you. This year I would love to get an allround
elite from the Blues Awards system. I am also looking forward to
the trip to China and learning about their culture. I would like to be a good
role model for everyone and gain more skills in leadership. I look forward to
helping others.
Sofia M - Ex Oaklands School I love Kirkwood as there are a lot of great
opportunities. The teachers are awesome and you get to try new things to
challenge yourself. This year I would like to achieve good grades, learn a lot
and will look forward to a brilliant final year. I was inspired by our last year’s
House Captains and I would like to inspire the Year 7 pupils.
House Captains for Rutherford/Batten
Ariel - Ex Edmonton Primary (Auckland) I Love the opportunities made
available at Kirkwood Intermediate School. I would like to be involved in
basketball and I will look forward to learning all about China when I visit later
on in the year.
Elham - Ex Gilberthorpe School I love everything about Kirkwood
Intermediate School, especially Technology and winter sport. However, my
favourite part is the Library and school hall. My goal this year is to improve
in reading and writing, playing as many different sports as possible and to
have fun during my time at Kirkwood. I will enjoy this leadership role as I am
a confident speaker, I can be a good role model and I am a good adviser.
Abseiling was my
favourite part of camp
because it was fun, challenging
and a new experience. I thought
that I wouldn’t go the whole way down
but I did! It was my goat at camp. A
lot of friends in my class cheered for
me which was great support. Some of
the activities which I enjoyed were
abseiling, Canadian canoeing,
crab hunting and feeding
the chicks.
My favourite part of
camp was the Canadian
canoeing, although feeding the
eels was a lot of fun too. Other
camp activities were: abseiling;
pitching tents; playing sports; bush
walking; periwinkle hunting and
beach time. I have to say I prefer
camping rather than playing
on electronics all day.
I enjoy outdoor
activities and
adventures. I also really
liked the food and awesome
activities which I was able to
do. The Canadian canoeing
was my favourite. I also
enjoyed the games we
played.

Changes to online Halswell page
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
AN ONGOING social media
quarrel has led to a survey being
released on how Halswell’s
largest community Facebook
page is run.
The Halswell
Community
Group
Facebook page
will mostly
stick to the
status quo after
releasing results
on what its
members think
Chrys Horn
about the way
the page is run.
Halswell
Community Project chairwoman
and one of the administrators
Chrys Horn
said after the
page has been
facing so much
trouble recently,
it was
important to
gauge what
people thought
Greig Russell
about what it
does.
The page has
come under fire from outspoken
Halswell resident Greig Russell
who was removed from the
group of nearly 11,000 members
for posting a mobile number on
ONLINE: The result of an online survey will help guide how the
Halswell Community Group Facebook page is run.
the page.
As a result of falling out with
the administrators, he has
since set up his own page called
Halswell Community Page
Uncensored.
Following the Halswell
Community Group Facebook
page releasing the findings of its
survey, the group decided it
will continue to approve posts
in spite of the majority voting
against it.
Out of the 352 people that took
part in the survey, 61.9 per cent
preferred it being allowed for
any member to post to the
Facebook page, while 34.7 per
cent voted to have all online
posts approved.
But Dr Horn said approving
all posts online has made the
administrators lives so much
easier and it has cut down their
workload enormously.
She said because the group is
approving posts before they go
online she feels it was unlikely
Mr Russell would cause too
much damage and would be
happier about adding him back
to the group.
But Mr Russell said he was no
longer interested in being part of
the page and it was not worth the
“headache.”
He said he didn’t think the
group was going to change and it
was “wrong” for them to decide
what people should or shouldn’t
read and many Halswell
residents were sick of it.
Mr Russell has also criticised
the page for temporarily shutting
down over the weekend
recently.
But Dr Horn said that
was not fair, the group
administrators needed a
weekend to talk about the way
the group was run.
“It is all done voluntarily . . .
we had a team where people were
starting to think, oh we don’t
really want to do this anymore,”
she said.
Other conclusions from the
survey was for the group to
allow local clubs and
groups advertise fundraisers, the
majority wanted to see
less trolling, bullying and
bickering and members
should not be able to list items
for sale.

Hub Hornby
to celebrate

SIX HORNBY residents will
be celebrated for making a
difference in the community at
an upcoming fashion show.
The Hub Hornby will be

show to showcase its upcoming
new season line.
As part of the event, six
residents nominated from
the greater Hornby area will
receive a “top to toe” $1000
makeover, styled by mall fashion
stylist Vicki McMillan.
The Hub Hornby centre
manager Jason Marsden said
the idea is to celebrate diversity
in the community and all
nominees are “really neat
people.”
As part of the show, rather
than using professional models,
participating retailers are
organising their own models
using staff, friends and family.
“This is going to be all about
real fashion on real people. We
want our customers to think:
Yes I could wear that,” he said.
Fashion Forecast will be
held at The Hub Hornby
from 7-8pm on Thursday. Free

Digging deep on Riccarton Rd
ABOUT 1m of Riccarton Rd
needs to be dug a day as part of
the $18.4 million upgrade.
Almost 1km of sewer pipe
needs to be replaced, buried 4m
below the road and work digging
it up has begun.
“Replacing that much pipe at
the depth is a big project by any
measure, but when you’re digging
up Christchurch’s second busiest
road, you have another ball to
juggle in terms of keeping traffic
moving both ways and keeping
access to all the open shops,” said
manager planning and delivery
transport Lynette Ellis.
“The sewer pipes are nearly
100-years-old and at the end of
their lifespan, so the work has to
happen now if we want to avoid
the pipes failing,” Ms Ellis said.
“We thought we’d take the
opportunity to make quite a few
other improvements to Riccarton
Rd that will leave the whole
area much more vehicle – and
pedestrian-friendly than it is.”
The project will cost $18.4
million and is expected to be
complete by December 2020.
The city council is also replacing
water mains under the road.
Once the underground work
is finished, the council will
rebuild the road and then
widen it, creating bus priority
measures and extra space for
DIG: Work has started on stage one of the Riccarton Rd
upgrade opposite Westfield Shopping Centre.
emergency vehicles.
“Riccarton Rd has more than
800 bus movements a day and
around 3000 passengers boarding
here per weekday, so the bus
priority measures will provide
more reliable bus travel for a lot
of people, especially at peak times
when they need to get to work or
home,” Ms Ellis said.
There will be sections of bus
lane on each side of the road, bus
lights at traffic signals so buses
can proceed ahead of general
traffic, and longer bus stops so
getting on and off is easier and
quicker for passengers.
A tree-lined median is also
being installed between Clarence
and Matipo Sts.
“The trees we’re putting in will
have a calming effect that will gently
slow traffic, which will make
this section of the road a more
pleasant destination for shoppers
and visitors,” Ms Ellis said.
On-street parking along Riccarton
Rd is being permanently
removed to make space for the
new road layout, but the council
has created a time-restricted
car park behind Riccarton Rd
between Rimu St and Straven Rd
to replace it.

The idea of a new cinema
complex has received positive
feedback from the community.
Greater Hornby Residents’
Association member
Mark Peters said it
is a “fantastic idea” and
will be a great resource.
“There are a number of
residents in the Hornby
area that would be really
keen to have a cinema
back in our region. I
am sure there will be plenty of
patronage,” he said.
His views were backed by
Awatea Residents Association
secretary Kay Stieller, who
said it will mean having more
facilities in the community and
residents won’t have to go into
the city.
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton

Mike Mora said if it brings
people, business and provides
entertainment, it could be positive

“People do love having a

Former Save
Denton Park
group legal
researcher
Brian Brodie
writes
about the
reclassification of Kyle Park
YOU MAY not be aware
that the city council is now
calling for submissions on the
reclassification of Kyle Park, as it
did for Denton Park, to build the
Hornby mega facility.
It is interesting to note
that the hearings panel,
which deliberated on the
reclassification of Denton Park,
turned it down, stating its
No 1 reason and issue for not
supporting the city council’s
application to reclassify Denton
Park was the overwhelming
problematic traffic issues that the
immediate central Hornby area
would need to accommodate.
It was very clear to ascertain
from about 1500 Denton Park
public submissions that the
majority of Hornby residents,
in particular, expressed a no
tolerance stance toward any
further suggestions of projects
and buildings by the city council
which would cause further
congestion and problematic
traffic issues in the vicinity of the
central Hornby area.
In the initial public
consultation document (which
ran from Wednesday, April
26, to Friday, June 9, 2017)
the “site challenges” for Kyle
Park section showed the city
council’s consideration clearly
suggests the traffic congestion
and management issues facing
the Kyle Park site are far more
problematic than that of Denton
Park. However, now the city
council and some members
of the Halswell-Hornby-
Riccarton Community Board
are seen to be running with and
supporting Kyle Park contrary
to this consideration. What has
changed?
The alarming thing is that
by supporting the Kyle Park
site, one could be seen to be
disregarding the initial city
council consideration or seem
ignorant of the fact that “the
traffic issue” was both the
hearings panel and the public’s
main reason for not supporting
the Denton Park reclassification.
In summary, it would appear
very naive to assume after taking
account of the city council
considerations, publicised
research, the hearings panel’s
findings and received public
submissions, that the Kyle Park
site will be less troublesome than
its neighbour, Denton Park, in
regard to the traffic issue.
It is highly likely that Kyle
Park may well present more
problems than the former option
of Denton Park.

the Western News article
about young cyclists not
wearing helmets
Ross Bartlett – I just read
your article on cycle helmets.
My comments below apply both
to bikes and electric scooters,
which can travel at more than
30km/h. I’m all for pro-choice,
but I don’t think people realise
what happens when head meets
road at 30km/h. The photo above
is the result of such. While I
was on a commuting ride, about
28km/h, a car pulled out from
the kerb without checking and
clipped my back wheel. The
injuries are purely from hitting
the road, not the car, and a
helmet was worn. I’m reliably
informed that without the
helmet, my days of eating solid
food may have been numbered.
You can be the best rider on the
planet, but you can’t avoid the
carelessness of others forever.
The revolution
in heat pumps
is here now!
I actually think the primary
reason people don’t wear helmets
is because of what it does to their
hair, because some helmets do
look a bit dorky, and because
people don’t like being told
they have to. Perhaps a bit of a
generational thing, too, with the
latest batch of kids growing up
on scooters and used to wearing
helmets, but the oldies having
it “thrust” upon them. There’s
certainly no inconvenience,
given it sits on your head so you

submission, some serious
questions must be considered:
•Is the problematic traffic issue
really such a big deal?
•Does the cost of land
remediation at $8-$10 million
actually quantify a smaller
facility?
•Is a 22 per cent reduction in
the complex size acceptable?
•Is this complex just about a
swimming pool for the southwest?
What is the big hurry
really about?
Remember a library and
governance buildings are to be
included, hence the need for the

•Are you really getting your

•Could you get a larger, better,

Quarry where they

leashes at all times
I have been walking
at Halswell Quarry for
the past three years and
have been appalled at
the lack of signage around the
place. Even where there are signs
they are so small no one can
see them. As for dog owners,
they think they are a law unto
themselves, having no respect
for other users, not only at the
quarry, but in all other parks.
I have been pestered by dogs
even in the conservation areas
around the lakes. And as to dogs
unleashed on the rim walk, you
are asking for trouble. Let’s get
some decent signage up with a
phone number on them for dog
patrol.

HALSWELL residents
living with disabilities want
to see improvements made
to the suburb’s transport
infrastructure.
Surveys undertaken by the
Halswell Community Project
and city council have identified
a need for improvement in the
suburb’s infrastructure.
A report
released to
Western
News showed
residents living
with disabilities
had concerns
over speeding
traffic, a lack
of controlled
crossings, large
curbs and a need for smoother
footpaths. It also found there was
a general desire for more disabled
toilets in the area.
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board member Ross
McFarlane said it is about finding
a happy balance of what footpaths
are functioning now and
what is due for a replacement.
“We’d all like footpaths paved
with gold but the fact is just in
the present financial situation
. . . let’s face it we have still got
a lot of earthquake damage,” he
INDEPENDENT LIVING: St John of God Halswell is one of many organisations in the suburb
providing care to people with disabilities. It has joined the tiny house movement to provide more
housing for people with physical disabilities.
said. But Mr McFarlane said it
was an excellent survey.
St John of God Halswell
resident Josh Caldwell, who was
diagnosed with rare auto-immune
disease transverse myelitis,
said the footpaths need to be addressed
as they are challenging.
“It is kind of citywide though
. . . I think Halswell is pretty
good compared to the rest of the
city,” he said.
Two surveys were undertaken
due to the high number of organisations
working with people
with disabilities and an information
gap identified during a community
planning session.
One survey covered accessibility
to community facilities
while the other allowed the
opportunity to give feedback on
what made the suburb a good
place to live.
It showed people with intellectual
disabilities liked living in
Halswell because of the slightly
rural feel, having accessible
facilities and it is close to other
areas.
The survey was originally
undertaken due to the high
number of organisations

disabilities and an information

community planning session.
Halswell has a large number
of organisations working with
people the disabled including
Halswell Residential College, St
John of God Hauora Trust and
Halswell Men’s Shed.
Thirty-eight individuals
responded ranging in ages from
10 to 82.
The report also showed there
was a demand for further recreational
activities and Zumba
for people living with disabilities
was recommended.
Other recommendations
were for more outdoor lighting
around car parks and walkways.
City council’s head of community
sport, governance and
partnerships John Filsell said it
will use the survey to work with
disability organisations and
community groups to assist in
projects that benefit people with
disabilities.
Halswell Community Project
chairwoman Chrys Horn said
it was a good survey which
highlighted the needs of a group
the community doesn’t hear
from often.

Hornby High School community.
What an incredibly sad time we have been through in
Christchurch. Much that we have pretended to be true in
New Zealand, much that we have chosen to believe does
not exist, has been made plain for us to see. Personally I
cannot comprehend hate on the scale that we saw on the
15th of March. What has lifted my heart and fed my soul is
the love and compassion with which our amazing rangatahi
have responded. I have almost daily seen the evidence that
my messages of love and kindness are finding their mark in
our children’s hearts. Whether it was the sight of a Year 13
student comforting a younger student with an arm around
a shoulder while visiting the Botanic Gardens tribute wall,
or the messages of love and support that children of many
ages spontaneously created to take to that wall, our young
people have given me hope. It is at times such as these in
particular that we need hope before all else.
Take heart, because our young people, our beautiful
rangatahi, know what is right, they want a world filled with
love and compassion, with tolerance and peace. Unlike my
generation of the 60’s, this generation may just be able to
change the world for the better. I live with that hope.
We are about to enter enrolment season for 2020 entry to
Hornby High School. Our kura has an enrolment scheme
that came into place at the beginning of 2019. The Board
of Trustees has decided to make 15 out-of-zone places
available for 2020, all in the years 7 to 10. Last year we
had quite a few whānau disappointed because they left
application for enrolment too late. Application for out-ofzone
enrolment closes on 26th July. It is easy to think that
that is a long way away, but the time will pass rapidly. The
agreed zoning rules are such that we cannot accept out-ofzone
enrolments after that date. Details of our enrolment
scheme are available on our website. Look under the
‘Enrolment’ tab for a zone map and specification. You can
pick up enrolment forms from reception any time now.
In the meantime, carry forward our message of kindness
and love, support your children to continue to care, to care
about the world and its people.

Farewell concert
planned for musician
•From page 1
The Broomfield resident has
therefore decided to make the
big move to the United States to
try his luck at breaking into the
American music scene.
“For now music is my total passion
and it is far too fun to give
up for a day job,” he said.
Everingham, 24, will fly to New
York next Tuesday before travelling
to Nebraska to take up work
as a musical director, conductor
and pianist at live theatre company
Post Playhouse.
“I am just really ready basically
for that next step and particularly
in musical theatre as you know
the US, typically New York City is
the centre of all that,” he said.
He will work at the company
over the American summer season
before heading back to New
York in August to find work as a
musician.
But before he leaves, Everingham
will play and conduct in a
special farewell concert celebrating
his years of making music in
the city on Saturday.
“I am doing a repertoire I have
always loved, artists that inspired
me early on . . . artists like Billy
Joel and Elton John,” he said.
Destination USA – A Farewell
Concert will feature musicians,
singers and choirs he has worked
with over the years along with
songs from a wide range of musical
genres he has played.
Ensembles The Vocal Collective,
Tango La Luna and the
Canterbury Lawyers’ Choir will
perform along with a line-up of
well-known theatre performers in
the city.
Everingham said it is an honour
and overwhelming having so
many artists supporting the show.
Everingham has led an exciting
career working with companies
including The Court Theatre and
Showbiz Christchurch.
His original song Fractures:
In Memoriam was premiered at
Westminster Abbey, London, in
2015 and his other work has been
performed at the Miami Fashion
Film Festival.
Having a strong interest in

WORK HAS begun on
the more than $5 million
redevelopment of Oaklands
School in Halswell.
The revamp includes

It is scheduled to take about
18 months and is part of
the Ministry of Education’s
construction programme for
Canterbury schools following

school.
Oaklands School principal
Margaret Trotter said it
is exciting to see signs of
construction on the school site
after years of planning and
anticipation.
The school’s buildings,
constructed in the 1960s, stood
up well to the earthquakes but
needed to be refreshed and
adapted for the modern learning
environment, she said.
Much planning has gone into
minimising disruption to the
more than 570 students and the
school community while the
redevelopment happens, Mrs
Trotter said.
She said this included doing

the holidays and after school
hours, she said.

The Ministry of Education

Mrs Trotter said.
The project is expected to
take almost two years and will
happen in two phases.
The first phase, happening
in 2019, involves demolishing
some prefabricated buildings,

Which group of children was the Top Team?
Sarah from Sports Canterbury came to
Oaklands School with a great range of games
for us to play. The games encouraged team
building and problem solving. Year1 were
teamed up with friends from Year 6GF and
Years 7/8 Big Buddies. There was a two

completed in four minutes.
The team with the highest score won. Well done

Wainui Camp is a camp just for
Year 7 Students to jell and build
rapport with their teachers. Wainui
is an outstanding camp. It starts
with a beautiful bus ride over to
Banks Peninsula where you get
views of the Akaroa Harbour and
all of the surrounding bays. Once
students arrive, they get settled into their bunkrooms and get
a chance to explore the camp and the surrounding parts of the
camp. Following their short exploration, they then get stuck
into their first activity.
The activities this year were, Archery, Sea Kayaking, Outdoor
Life Skills and High Ropes. These activities are designed to be
challenging and push students out of their comfort zone.
At night time, students get to play games such as, Hunters
and Seekers, Go Home, Stay Home and Spotlight. For all of the
students, the night time activities were a hit and a bunch of fun!
While at Wainui, Pete the Chef cooked us lovely meals for tea
and lunch. The consisted of homemade spring rolls, burgers,
American Hotdogs and Butter Chicken. It was safe to say, we
ate everything that was on offer.

High school rowing’s new champs
• By Gordon FIndlater
CHRISTCHURCH BOYS’ High
School stamped their authority
at Maadi Cup as secondary
school rowing’s newest
powerhouse.
At the regatta on Lake Karapiro
in Cambridge, CBHS won
their first ever Maadi Cup, and
were also the regatta overall winner
with 42 points on the official
tally.
They beat out tradition rowing
schools Hamilton Boys’ High
School in second with 37 points
and St Peter’s School (Cambridge)
in third overall with 28
points.
Points are awarded to crews
that finish in the top three in the
A finals.
In the Maadi Cup under-18
coxed eight race, defending
champions Christ’s College took
an early lead before CBHS made
their move at the 1000m.
The crew of Scott Shackleton,
Tom Fraser, Cameron Long,
Ethan Alderlieste, Cameron
Henderson, Angus Templeton,
James Glover, Ben Brown and
coxswain Timothy Heritage
steadily increased their pace and
eventually took the lead, crossing
the finish line in 5min 54.31sec
with Christ’s College taking
silver in 5min 55.71sec.
CBHS also won the Springbok
Shield under-18 coxed four in a
record time of 6min 25.39sec.
The crew of James Gloer,
Ethan Alderlieste, Cameron
Henderson, Tom Fraser and
coxswain Timothy Heritage beat

for Rangi Ruru came in
the under-18 novice coxed eight
where they ran two crews who
finished second and third.
“The novice eight event
was particularly significant
because at the end of the race, we
had eighteen girls on the

second crew showed grit and determination
to pull that off,” said
Rangi Ruru rowing manager Ella
Vink.

Athletics Day
Burnside High School Athletics Day was held over two days in February. Participation in the event was
very high, with a number of records being broken that had stood for many years.
From there 75 students went on to represent the school at the Canterbury Secondary School’s
Athletics Championships which was held at Nga Puna Wai on 19th and 23rd of March. Students
were excited to compete on an artificial track after many years competing on grass following the
earthquakes. We came away with twelve Canterbury titles including two relay titles.
Burnside High School are the winners of the 2019 Top Co-Ed School Award for Canterbury Athletics.

International Olympiad
Eric Song has recently been selected as one of
four students to represent New Zealand at this
year’s International Olympiad Informatics. The
International Olympiad Informatics is the most
prestigious computer science competition in the
world for secondary school students.
The 2019 IOI will be a week-long competition held
in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Training for the Olympiad will include a ten day
training camp in Sydney over the Easter holidays
and a pre-departure camp before leaving for Baku
in early August. The lead supervisor and mentor
of the New Zealand delegation this year - Logan
Glasson - is another Burnside graduate who in the
past achieved great results in this competition.
The team was formed through a highly competitive
selection process. Students were first identified
from various competitions last year and invited
to attend an intensive training camp in January.
Through several competitions, starting at the camp
and continuing through February and March, the 30
camp participants were narrowed down to the final
team of four representing New Zealand.
All the very best Eric.

SPORTS
• By Gordon Findlater
ST THOMAS of Canterbury
College players had mixed
emotions after two penalty
shootouts at the New Zealand
secondary schools futsal
championships.
Both the school’s senior and
junior boys sides played grandfinals
in the space of two hours
at the tournament in Wellington
after advancing through pool
play and the knockout section.
In the junior final, St Thomas
and Wellington’s St Patrick’s
College finished at 2-2 following
normal and extra time.
St Thomas then suffered
heartbreak, losing the penalty
shootout 3-2.
“Our senior team were all
watching the game, as soon
as they lost on penalties they
came on and got everyone in a
big huddle and talked to them.
Each of the senior players was
comforting a junior player, it
was pretty cool to see,” said St
Thomas’ teacher Jacob Allen,
who heaped praise on the teams
coaches Shannen Vailuu and
James Vallance.
The senior team then turned
around the school’s penalty
fortunes. St Thomas opened the
scoring in the senior final against
Wellington’s Scots College
CHAMPIONS:
St Thomas’
senior side
celebrate
winning the
senior boys
title at the
New Zealand
secondary
schools futsal
championships.
Win and loss for St Thomas
when Aashish Rai drove home
a low free kick. They were then
reduced to four players for 2min
when Tom Stewart received a
second yellow card, allowing
Scots to equalise.
Locked at 1-1 after normal and
extra-time, St Thomas nailed
their first two penalties, courtesy
of Mika Rabuka and Seth
Simpson.
St Thomas’ goalkeeper then
pulled off a huge save which
allowed Rai to seal the win
when he scored the team’s third
penalty.
Earlier in the tournament
the senior girls title was won by
Rangiora High School.
Best ever result at
national basketball
tournament
• By Gordon Findlater
ST THOMAS of Canterbury
College’s junior 3 x 3 basketball
team have created history by
achieving the school’s greatest
ever result at a national
tournament.
The team came within a
whisker of claiming the title in
Tauranga being pipped by Hastings
Boys’ High School 13-15 in
overtime after the schools were
locked at 13-13 after regulation
time.
“To have success at the junior
South Island tournament last
year, and then follow that up at
a national competition, means
we are putting our school on
the map,” said coach Neville
Booker.
The squad of Hunter Adam,

St Thomas’ junior
basketballers made
school history by
finishing second at

In the quarter-final, they defeated
Taupo-nui-a-Tia College
14-11 and then turned around
their pool play result to defeat
Boys’ High School 12-6 in the
semi-final.
In the final St Thomas’ trailed
by two with just seconds remaining
in regulation time before
Gonzalez hit a game-tying
shot from long range. However,
they were overcome in overtime.
St Thomas’ also competed
in the senior championship,
finishing 14th.

WITH MARY IN FAITH
TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA
A NEW MARIAN COLLEGE FOR 2023
MESSAGE FROM
THE BOARD
The Marian College Board is pleased
to share the Bishop’s decision to
relocate Marian College to north west
Christchurch on a three hectare site.
Our new College will neighbour St
Joseph’s Primary School on land
bordered by Vagues Road, Main North
Road and Northcote Road, with the main
entrance off Lydia Street.
The new school is projected to cost in
excess of $20 million and students are
expected to start in February 2023.
The Bishop said finding a new home for
Marian College has always been one of
his main priorities. The purchase of the
former Foodstuffs warehouse property on
Northcote Road has made this possible.
He indicated scoping and design work
will begin ready for when possession of
the land takes place in April 2021.
The news is exciting and very positive
for Marian College and the changes are
going to further strengthen and grow our
Catholic community.
Thank you to the Bishop on behalf of
Marian College for his commitment to
our future, and to the Catholic Diocese
of Christchurch for its steady support
over the years.
The Catholic Bishop of Christchurch, Paul
Martin and Marian College Principal Mary-
Lou Davidson visiting Marian College’s
new Papanui site.
Thank you also to our school community
for your loyalty and patience and to all
the schools, businesses and communities
who have supported Marian since the
earthquakes. It means a lot to us.
We look forward to the challenges the
next four years bring us and to having
closer working relationships with St
Joseph’s School Papanui and our brother
school St Bede’s College.
Tātou ko Mere e whakapono ana
With Mary in faith
Jan Paterson
Marian College Board of Trustees Chair
SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
What will the new school look like?
It is too early to say just yet. What we do know is that we intend to ensure the Catholic
special character, values, heritage and story of Marian is incorporated and reflected in our
new school’s grounds and buildings. While we are fortunate to be getting a new school –
the heart of Marian College will remain the same.
Our new Forde Block (Social Sciences and Careers), which opened at the beginning
of this year, combines the best of traditional and open-plan classroom settings within a
multi-functional and sound-proof learning environment. So far, the feedback from students
and teachers has been positive, so it’s likely our new school will have similarly designed
classrooms.
Will there be opportunities for input into the new school?
Yes. We will be engaging with our school community and gathering ideas in coming
months.
Why is it taking until 2023 to get a new school?
The newly purchased site is currently tenanted and the lease expires in 2021. The Catholic
Diocese of Christchurch will then take possession of the land. In the meantime, there will
be valuable time for consultation, scoping and design work, before construction starts.
Will travel to and from the new school be more difficult?
Our new site is conveniently located on main arterial roads including QEII Drive and the
ring road to Eastern and seaside suburbs, Main North Road through to North Canterbury
as well as the Orbiter bus route. Connecting cycleways include the Papanui Parallel
Cycleway, Northern Line Cycleway and QEII Shared Cycleway.
By the time our new school is ready, the Christchurch Northern Corridor will be open. It is
expected this road will significantly reduce traffic volumes on Main North Road – by up to
50 per cent. It will also create an opportunity for the city council to make changes to Main
North Road resulting in improved public transport journey times.
Access to transport is an important part of our planning. We are confident that our families
will have suitable transport options for students travelling from more than 30 of our feeder
primary schools - families living in Central and East Christchurch, the seaside suburbs and
North Canterbury.
My daughter is currently a senior student at Marian – will she feel left out?
A wonderful aspect of Marian College is how supportive and understanding our school
community is through periods of change. We often say: “once a Marian girl, always a
Marian girl”. Marian College will be making every effort to include all students in the
shaping of our new school - regardless of whether they will be attending. We are asking
past students and staff of Marian College and also our founding schools St Mary’s College
(Christchurch) and McKillop College, to provide valuable input into what the new school
will look like.

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 been 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 agree
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.”

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

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

how the team performed.
“We produced some top quality
products and came away
with a g od result so we’re very

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

A CRACKDOWN on mobile
traders acro s the districts could
be l oming.
However, the public has li tle
interest in having input into the
i sue.
Only eight submi sions were
received for a potential bylaw
aimed at regulating commercial
activities in public places.
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
on private or public land.
A report said there are two
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en

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
te l” to make them aware of what
the soldiers l oked like.
Children were shown the type
of kits horses were required to
wear in the war.

Mr Winder and his team, the

He said the cha lenge started

The preparation for this

said coming second against 1
other countries was a “fantastic”

“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.
