The Bishopdale resident has
been serving up free breakfasts
to pupils for two years to help
them engage in a full day of
learning.
Weet-bix, milk, fruit,
scroggin and baked beans are
some of the foods dished up by
Mrs Mytton and teacher aide
volunteer Sharon Cleverly each
morning at 8.30am.
“The kids are really well fed,
which is wonderful,”​said Mrs
Mytton.
“With full tummies, their

learn. If they’ve got a rumbly
tummy they aren’t going to

RATEPAYERS WILL foot
the $30,000 bill to repair the
Bishopdale Library floor.
Shrinkage cracks, which are
believed to have formed within
the first two days of the slab being
poured in 2017, will be fixed at
the building’s entrance between
Thursday and
April 29.

said because the
contractor which
built the library
has been put into

pay for the repairs.
The damage became apparent
late last year when plastic was
removed from the slab.
When the damage was reported
by Nor’west News in January,
it was unclear if the contractor
would pay for the repairs.
Ratepayers paid to rebuild the
library in 2017, six years after the
previous building was damaged

IT’S GREAT to see people giving back
to the community. Lynne Mytton (front
page) is one of them.
The 67-year-old is a familiar face at
Bishopdale School at 8.30am where she
dishes up breakfast to pupils, with the help of teacher aide
Sharon Cleverly.
Lynne has lived in Bishopdale for many years. She recalls
fondly serving breakfast at home to her own children before
they headed off to the school.
Times have changed though and many schools now serve up
breakfast for pupils – but they need people like Lynne to help
out.
“With full tummies, their brains engage and they start to
learn. If they’ve got a rumbly tummy they aren’t going to learn
anything because they’re focused on being hungry,” she says.
Good stuff.

Pool group fails to get rates reprieve
• By Jess Gibson
A BID FOR a rates remission
at the site of planned Edgeware
Pool has sunk.
The St Albans Pavilion
and Pool Group applied for a
remission for the empty site on
Edgeware Rd as its members
have been paying
from their own
pockets since
purchasing the
land in 2016.
Rates
remissions
are granted to
Karleen
Edwards
not-for-profit
community
organisations
which provide a public good
through the use of their land.
City council chief executive
Karleen Edwards declined the
application from the group, which
is a registered charity, as the land
is not open for public use.
St Albans Pavilion and Pool
spokeswoman Valerie Somerville
said the application was an
attempt to relieve some pressure
while the group tries to reinstate
the pool, which was demolished
in 2007.
“We accept the reason for
the council’s decision and are
very grateful for the (Papanui-
Innes) Community Board’s
support in suggesting other
PLANS: The St Albans Pavilion and Pool Group is paying rates for the empty land on Edgeware
Rd where it plans to build the Edgeware Pool.

options to apply for funding,”
said Mrs Somerville.
The community board received
a letter from Dr Edwards
informing members about the
decision after it wrote to the city
council in support of the group’s
application.
Dr Edwards acknowledged
the group is doing good work
and said the city council would
be “happy to accept a further
remission application once the
site is open.”
In 2016, the city council sold
the land for the Edgeware Pool to
the St Albans Pavilion and Pool
Group for $1.
The city council stated at the
time it would not contribute to
the project, but later said it would
commit $1.25 million if the
group could raise the rest of the
$5 million cost.
So far, about $170,000 has
been raised for the project,
which has been used to cover
costs including resource consent
and developing a design plan.
The project is in its feasibility
stage, which will assess the
practicality of the pool designs
and determine whether it is an
asset to the community.
After this, the group can apply
for money from major charitable
funding groups.

Parking limits should boost business
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Jess Gibson
PARKING restrictions could
lead to a much-needed boost in
business for a block of shops in
St Albans.
Ten car parks on the northern
side of Malvern St between
Rutland and Gossett Sts will
get 60min limits, while two
car parks on Rutland St near
the entrance to the Canterbury
Rugby Union’s car park will get
30min limits.
The Papanui-Innes
Community Board approved the
decision to put time restrictions
on the car parks, which currently
have no limit. It aims to provide
higher turnover parking for
customers using the Rutland St
shops.
Shop owners suffered a
downturn in business in
2017 after the installation of
the Papanui Parallel Cycleway
removed about 50 per cent of the
car parks along Rutland St.
There are currently only seven
restricted 15min parking spaces
outside six shops, the rest are allday
car parks ,which are usually
taken up by CRFU members and
staff.
Coco Gifts owner Liz van
Monfort said she noticed a 20 to
30 per cent downturn in business
after the major cycle route was
Bishopdale Library floor repairs to cost $30k
•From page 1
The $1.2 million library rebuild
budget was increased by almost $2
million to ensure the building was
up to standard.
In January, city council
community libraries manager
Erica Rankin said the cracks were
considered safe but were being
fixed as the damage was noticeable
to visitors.
She said there is a high
likelihood of more shrinkage
cracks in other parts of the
building, but these could be
covered by floor materials.
Repairs were made to the floor of

put in. “(The parks) will be a
great boost for daily business,”
said Ms van Monfort.
Susan Ross, who owns the
Susan Ross uniform shop, said
parking has been a “nightmare”
the assembly hall in January while
the main library remained open.
But the city council has
decided to close the building
while the entrance is fixed as the
expected noise and dust would be
unpleasant for the public.
The closure is timed to
coincide with the Easter and
Anzac Day.
Library items can still
be returned to Bishopdale Library
while the building is closed.
The closest alternative libraries
are the Papanui Library in
Langdons Rd and Redwood
Library in Main North Rd.
and the changes are a positive
outcome. Rutland St Dairy
owner Jackson Zhang said he
suffered a downturn of about
40 to 50 per cent following the
cycleway changes.
Mr Zhang has also faced an
ongoing problem with people
disregarding the current 15min
restrictions, so the board has
asked the city council to consider
enforcement signs.
The city council sought
feedback from affected residents
and businesses on Rutland and
Malvern Sts on the proposed
changes in November and
received 63 submissions. Of 44
submissions which opposed the
changes on Malvern St, 38 were
from people associated with
CRFU and the remaining six
were unidentified. The majority
of these submissions supported
the changes to the two parks on
Rutland St. One submission said
60min was not long enough for
people going to meetings or for
training sessions at Rugby Park,
while another said rugby players
would need to park further away.
City councillor Mike Davidson
said the “strength in numbers” of
the CRFU’s submissions needed
to be taken into consideration
when looking at the benefits to
the wider community.
A CRFU spokesperson said
the “decision-making process is
ultimately with the council.”
Two other options were
considered by the board –option
one was to provide 10 60min
car parks on Malvern St and six
30min car parks on Rutland St,
which would have removed all
of the all-day parking between
Innes Rd and Malvern St. Option
three was to do nothing.
DAMAGE:
Ratepayers
will pay
to repair
cracks in the
floor of the
Bishopdale
Library.

Veterinary practice
Bilateral anal Gland SurGery
Anal gland issues are
common problems
we see in our canine
patients today. The
anal gland has no
real function except
it’s the dogs “special
scent” or parfum.
This secretion has a
distinctive fish smell
to it making it very
unpleasant for us,
plus its heaving with
bacteria! Not a good
look or smell on the
new sofa.
Dogs present
because of pain and anal irritation leading
to scooting, licking or biting of the area.
Often it’s too painful for these dogs to toilet
so they become constipated. Severe cases
become infected and the anal sacs swell and
can eventually burst, discharging pus either
outwardly or inwardly around the perineum.
Occasionally anal sac fistulas develop which
persist for ages. Impaction of anal sacs can
lead to toxaemia and dermatitis. Some dogs
present because they leak anal gland fluid
constantly which becomes very difficult to live
with if your dog is an indoor pet.
No one really knows why anal glands become
a problem. Some cases present due to
diarrhoea, constipation or anal sphincter
laxity. Some cases are related to anal duct
obstruction which leads to infection,
abscessation and sometimes rupture of the
sac. Other cases are due to hypersecretion
which can happen with food allergies, thyroid
diseases and infectious skin disease.
Whatever the cause, my job is to rectally
express them which isn’t particularly nice for
the patient as often by this stage they are
painful. It is a procedure mostly I can perform
awake.
If the anal sacs are infected I either prescribe
antibiotics systemically or I instill an antibiotic/
anti-inflammatory ointment into the sacs for
2-3 treatments. Sometimes a prescription food
is recommended ( either for food allergies or
a diet high in fiber) and revisits are advised to
check the sacs.
In chronic, recurring and difficult cases that
don’t respond to
medical therapy,
often the best
option is bilateral
surgical removal.
This option can
completely eliminate
the disease and
make the owners
and dogs’ life far
more bearable. Dogs
can live without
these anal sacs – it’s
just a fiddley surgery
and great care has
to be taken when
working around the
anus to avoid incontinence issues.
I have had lots of practice removing anal
glands over the past 30 years – so much so
that I get referrals from other clinics.
Juno, a young Labrador cross is having
bilateral anal gland surgery. Juno presents
every 2-3 months with anal glands that just
leak and wreek everywhere. They are not
infected nor painful to squeeze. She has
received various medical treatments and is on
a Royal Canin hypoallergenic diet, but nothing
seems to help.
The surgery takes roughly 60-90 minutes,
because I am very careful around this delicate
area. Juno is maintained throughout the
surgery on intravenous fluids and Megan
my surgical nurse is monitoring all her vitals
(heart rate, temperature, respiratory rate, body
temperature and oxygen saturation) to ensure
a safe anaesthetic and quick recovery.
Juno was a star patient and the two anal
glands were removed. She was discharged
on antibiotics, pain medications and local
anaesthetic cream to apply to the surgical
area. I recommended an E collar to wear
initially to stop her worrying her surgical site
and a soft diet 5 days post surgery.
My advice is – don’t struggle with this
problem in your family cat or dog as it’s
not going away. These glands have no vital
function and can be removed safely and
effectively in the right surgical hands, leading
to a better quality life without the nasty
smells!!

“It’s fresh and it feels like home”
Colleen Shah loves the
ease with which she can
keep in close contact with
friends and extended family,
while living at Ngaio Marsh
Retirement Village.
Her apartment offers a
beautiful view out to the
village gardens, and is located
in a quiet part of Papanui in
the heart of Christchurch.
Colleen can easily drive to
Merivale and other nearby city
suburbs, before returning to
the sanctuary of her serviced
apartment. “It’s clean and it’s
fresh and it feels like home.”
Home is important to
her. Colleen has had an
adventuresome life including
living for a good spell in
India, where she mixed with
politicians and diplomats.
She originally trained in
Wellington in the diplomatic
service and was posted to New
Delhi. Her husband Vinay
Shah, who was an aspiring
politician, died in a plane
crash in 1976. In her serviced
apartment she has a photo
album of her wedding day
on Christmas Eve 1969. The
photo of her table of guests
including such dignitaries as
Indira Gandhi.
Colleen previously worked
in foreign affairs in Wellington
before that posting, but
remains a Cantabrian at heart.
She likes the options of
either joining in community
activities, relaxing at home
or heading out for an
appointment or to see friends.
Her own family, including
Serviced apartment resident Colleen Shah with sales advisor Marie Kyle-Stevenson
her daughter who lives in
Perth, know she is in a lovely
environment and can choose
to visit her whenever they
want. She has two stepchildren
living in India.
The staff at the village
have completely won her
over with their charm and
caring attitude.
The village provides
independent living in a
townhouse, assisted living in
serviced apartments, and the
very best of resthome and
hospital care. The village is
peaceful and conveniently
located close to both Merivale
and Northlands malls and the
central city.
Facilities include an allweather
bowling green, indoor
heated swimming pool, spa,
atrium, gym, hair salon, bar,
library and shop. “I spend
a lot of time in the library
here, which is a nice part
of the central building. I’m
often sitting there reading
The Press.”
Outside is the croquet lawn
and of course the gardens.
“One of the wonderful things
about the village has been the
display of impatiens owers in
pink and orange. Our residents
can see these brilliant colours,
and they take pleasure in
being able to see owers when
they go out,” Colleen says.
Colleen says the facilities are
great and the gardens give a
real sense of space and beauty
to the living environment. She
also loves the quality of the
meals provided in the village.
She had previously lived in
her own apartment in Carlton
Mill Road, then made a move
to a central village before
coming to Ngaio Marsh.
She is very happy to
have two friends from
her last village now living
on the same serviced
apartment floor as her. Sales
Advisor Marie Kyle-Stevenson
says Ngaio Marsh is a very
attractive option for people
looking at retirement villages,
particularly given its
central location.
It has a great layout
including beautiful green
spaces to provide both a visual
delight and space for the
village community to enjoy
outdoor events. “It’s spacious
and there are a good number
of walks near the village,”
Marie says.
“There’s a walk that goes
right up the west edge of the
village up to Northlands Mall,
and there’s another great walk
that takes them to a café.”
Although the village is
close to a lot of amenities, it’s
tucked away location means
that residents enjoy peace and
quiet in a friendly community.

own home, and a little extra help with

is hoping to do better at this year’s
competition.
Coaches will fly over from Los
Angeles, Sweden and Seattle to train
the choir before it heads to New
Orleans.
Mrs Humphrey said the group
could go every year if it wanted but
aims for every three years due to
the high cost of the trip. The choir
will showcase jazz, popular New
Zealand music, ballads and swing at
a southern-style-themed fundraiser
on April 28.
The money raised will go towards
accommodating two Swedish singing
coaches during the trip, hiring
stage equipment and flying props
over.
The choir will donate 10 per cent
of its proceeds to the Muslim Association
of Canterbury after the
March 15 terror attack.
The group will be judged on
sound, music, expression and showmanship
at the competition.
Mrs Humphrey formed the group
in 1985 after being part of a barbershop
chorus in Canada.
“I loved it so much I came home
and started a chorus here,” she said.
The group has since won every
national competition it has entered
since 1987.
The fundraiser on April 28 will
showcase two a cappella shows at
2pm and 7pm at Harmony Church​,
220 Antigua St.

hygge at home
[pronounced hue-guh ]
It’s definitely got me thinking. This month instead of
writing (which to me is talking) about property in its
usual commercial and clinical way, I’ve decided to
explore the deeply satisfying concept of what a home
is. What makes us rush home, why some homes
engage you at every level and how this deep sense of
comfort and safety are important because they are.
Last year I was introduced to the concept of Hygge.
Usually I struggle with concepts with words I find
difficult to say but this word stems from the Danish
representation of what is “cozy”.
It’s not a formal method of living, it doesn’t dictate or judge, it
merely encourages you to know or find what is comforting and meaningful
then ensuring the essence of this is part of your home life.
The consistent elements of this sit as easily in a Kiwi lifestyle as a
Scandinavian one and includes: enjoying or being close to nature, creating
intimate cozy spaces, having meaningful items in your home rather than
massive amounts of stuff or clutter (that’s me challenged!) and finding joy in
the simple things.
With all of this in mind, I thought I’d share some of my own Hygge
interpretations and ways in which I enjoy bringing a strong sense of home
and family into my life.
• Blankets, I love them everywhere and not just for decoration but for
warmth, snuggling and occasionally as a quick cloak walking from one part
of the house to another.
• Big couches that you can lie on or fall asleep in. Not those tiny little things
that you just fit on with your back straight and your feet tucked in.
• Candles, flowers and lamps. No surprises here and if there’s nothing
at the markets I’ll forage leaves and random bits of greenery. All of these
provide me with a sense of peace and respite.
• Pictures of my family, if there was a fire I’d grab my framed pictures and
feel grateful.
There you are. I live much of my life in the world of real estate.
I’m constantly interpreting or being asked to explain its nuances.
The Christchurch market going into winter, this winter needs a clear head
and a strong sense of purpose that’s why celebrating the gentle rhythms of
your own home is important for me and no doubt you.
Happy April, try Hygge.

It’s
happening
at the...
Bishopdale Village Mall
Popular pharmacy
offers much more
than expected
As residents of Bishopdale and the
surrounding areas know, they can rely on
the friendly pharmacists and retail team at
Unichem Bishopdale Pharmacy for all their
pharmaceutical needs as well as health,
personal care and beauty products and
advice.
However, there is much more on offer at
this popular pharmacy, with one of their
key features being the extensive selection of
fashion scarves.
“We are well-known for our scarves
and we sell hundreds every month,” says
business owner Maria, who runs the
pharmacy in partnership with Amanda and
Anna.
“Our retail manager goes to three gift
fairs a year and sources the very latest in
colours and designs for our customers.
They are mostly one-offs, however there is
often the potential to re-order if a customer
misses out on a particular one they like.”
A number of the retail team members
have particular talents for colour matching,
and can help customers choose the
right scarf for their personal style and
colouring, and also show them different
ways to tie and wear scarves, Maria says.
Prices range from $11.99 up to $100 for
the most luxurious designs, with most of
the scarves priced around $20.
A new range of ponchos has arrived at
Unichem Bishopdale – just in time for
the cooler weather. Priced from $30 to
$120 these come in a variety of fabrics and
shades, including merino, and are a very
popular, easy-to-wear fashion item.
Another reason why customers keep
coming back to Unichem Bishopdale is
their extensive range of gift items.
“The feedback we get from people is that
they always seem to find what they want,
and in their price range,” Maria says.
Added to that is the complementary
gift-wrapping service, she says.
“Customers can walk in, find just what
they’re looking for, have it beautifully
gift-wrapped and walk out ready to go.”
When it comes to health and wellness,

Ma Baker - your local
Kiwi bakery
They say that if you want to know the
best place to find a great bakery, follow the
locals, and in Edgeware and Bishopdale,
you’ll find both the residents and those
working in the area are regularly heading
straight for Ma Baker.
Their yummy food options in-store can
be described as honest Kiwi tucker and
there’s something for everyone. Everything
is baked daily by their team of bakers, from
the fresh bread displayed in store which
is also used in their sandwiches and rolls,
to their delicious and so-moreish cream
cakes, scones and slices. It’s a perfect spot
to call in for lunch or afternoon tea with
friends, to share a cuppa and a cake with
someone special, or for tradies to fill up
on their large selection of pies, stuffed
sausages, toasties, buns and donuts, and
they can be comfortable knowing they are a
tradie/hi-vis/workboots-friendly bakery. It
is also a popular spot for business people to
hold casual weekly meetings.
When cooking a meal is too much after
a busy day, parents can select something
from their large deli-bars and take home
large-sized bacon and egg or family meat
pies or pizza breads with fruit pies to follow
– their budget-friendly prices mean that
take-out or eating out doesn’t need to be
a weekly treat any more. Their savoury

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS
All New for Avonside
at Ōrua Paeroa
A new school, a
new location, and a
new uniform! What
a fabulous year for
Avonside Girls’ High
school as a new chapter
in the school’s 90 plus
year history is written
this year. As Avonside
Girls’ High School moves into its new
home on Travis Road at the beginning of
term 2, it will take with it its traditions,
culture, history and values and its focus
on working with every student to help
her identify her strengths and develop
her talents so that she can flourish in her
future.
Just over 1000 girls will move onto the
new site in Travis Road and experience
learning in New Zealand’s newest
secondary school buildings. The campus
which also includes a satellite unit of
Ferndale School, is New Zealand’s first
ever co-location of a state girls’ school and
a state boys’ school sharing the same site
and some key facilities and yet delivering
teaching and learning within their own
single-sex learning environments.
One look inside the impressive entrance
foyer reveals an exciting campus with
fabulous facilities to enhance learning for
students.
In the front section of the school lie the
shared facilities, boasting the reception
and administrative centre for both
schools, a spacious library, a cultural
space, two theatres, a cafeteria with indoor
and outdoor seating, and student kitchen
facilities alongside a commercial kitchen
for teaching senior Hospitality courses.
The design of the school then separates
into two separate schools each designed
around its own courtyard. The school
is organised by learning areas, denoting
the school’s support of subject discipline
knowledge and skills, yet with adjacencies
that provide opportunities for learning
to be connected across learning areas for
students.
Avonside supports the development
of the whole student with a strong
ako programme delivered within a
vertical form structure and wonderful
opportunities for involvement beyond
classroom learning time. The superb
facilities in the new campus certainly
enhance those opportunities for our
students.
Avonside Girls’ High School has
embraced this opportunity to provide this
exciting new brand of 21st century style
single-sex education – the best of both
worlds!

students to strive for personal excellence.
Learning occurs both inside and outside
the classroom, reflecting the desire of the
school to focus on teaching the whole
person to ensure a lifelong desire for
self-improvement. At Shirley Boys’ this
is known as “BTB – Better than Before”.
BTB leads to achievement, which can
be as modest as getting fit for a sport or
improving a test score or learning to sing
in a choir. BTB can also be as spectacular
as achieving a Premier New Zealand
Academic Scholar Award (awarded to the
Top 10 academic students in NZ).

Medbury School is the only independent

Medbury values of manners
and respect, and its vision is

Choosing the
right school for
your Tamariki
When choosing the right school for our
tamariki we often go by the ‘feeling’ we have
when we visit, as much as by the programmes
that schools have on offer. The world demands
fewer people who can do repetitive tasks and
more people who can think creatively and
critically. That’s why our vision, our aspiration,
as a school is to be ‘A centre of creative
excellence’ in everything that we do, whether
visual arts or chemistry, volleyball or music,
management or curriculum organisation. In
doing this we haven’t forgotten the importance
of the strong relationships that we build with
all of our students, and the importance of
individualising learning pathways so that
we come as close as we can to meeting every
individual student’s needs. Hornby High
School’s feeling is one of positive relationships
that support learning. Students often comment
that we feel like whānau, like family. This all
takes place within our amazing new facilities,
some of the most modern in the country.
These facilities are allowing us to develop a
curriculum that caters for individual needs,
that supports student passions, and helps
our students to grow their heart for their
community, while emphasising our values
and promoting the ethos of kindness, of
manaaki. We are also committed to engaging
with whānau in any and every way we can. I
personally invite you to come along and meet
with our skilled staff, and the amazing young
people who make Hornby High School such a
wonderful place to be.

At Medbury, the focus is

encouragement he needs to discover
and develop his particular strengths.
The learning programmes are all

Christian Integrated Schools in
Christchurch working together
Working together for the good of students
and families has been a successful recipe
for Christian Integrated Schools in
Christchurch.
The Christian School Network has been
in existence for over ten years. Aidanfield
Christian School, Emmanuel Christian
School, Hillview Christian School and
Middleton Grange School decided in
2005 that there was much to be gained
by working together cooperatively.
They recognised opportunities to share
successful teaching practice, curriculum
development initiatives across a wide
spectrum of school operations as well as
cooperatively strengthening their special
Christian Character. They recognised that
their ability to serve students and families
was greatly enhanced by working together
in a close and trusting relationship.
The success of the network has seen
other schools wanting to join in. Early

Middleton Grange School was
established in 1964 with the aim of
providing a first rate general education
and biblically based teaching in the
Christian faith. We see learning not
as an end in itself but something that
happens alongside the development of
character and a desire to serve God by
serving others.
We look forward to seeing our young
people excelling in academic, sporting,
cultural and service activities with a
sense of personal achievement. We also
want them to identify the strengths,
skills, talents and abilities that God has
put within each one of them, not just
for their personal benefit, but for the
benefit of the communities that they
live in. Serving others with compassion
and kindness is part of the ‘DNA’ of
Middleton Grange School. We want our
young people to engage in the society
and culture that they live in, to be a
positive influence and to point others to
God by their example.
We appreciate the hard work that
staff and students put into producing
top academic results, but what we value
even more highly is wisdom, character,
integrity and a willingness to help and
encourage others.
This is summed up in our school
motto ‘Character, Excellence, Service for
the Glory of God.

St Thomas believe
the best preparation
for life is an
education in a caring
diverse environment
At St Thomas’ we believe that the best
preparation for life is an education which
fosters excellence in a caring, diverse
environment. Our staff are committed
to guiding our students through a broad
range of spiritual, learning, culture,
sporting and service opportunities
in order to develop young men with
“educated hearts and educated minds”.
We are a state integrated Catholic
school for a maximum of 615 students
from Years 7 to 13. Our size enables us to
provide individual attention and develop
close relationships with our students in
order for them to develop a healthy selfimage,
relaxed but confident personal
skills, and a positive outlook on life.
We are a high performing academic
boys’ school and as such, maintain a clear
focus on boys’ needs and the pathway
from boyhood to manhood. We will
provide your son with adventure, testing
of courage and strong, good male role
models.
We want the young men who graduate
from our College to be men of justice and
compassion, who believe they have much
to offer the world in order for it to be a
better place.
Steve Hart, Principal
St Thomas of Canterbury College
Giving boys the
opportunity to be great
St Bede’s is a Catholic College for boys
founded by the Society of Mary in 1911
and it is also the only Catholic boarding
school for boys in the South Island.
Catholic, Marist and Bedean principles
and values form the basis of a holistic
education at the College. We aim not
to make the College great but to ensure
every boy has the opportunity to be great,
and we endeavour to develop young men
of Catholic hearts and minds through the
experiences the boys have in their time
here at the College.
St Bede’s is a College for all…a place
where gospel values are practised to
help form principled men; a learning
environment where everyone achieves;
a place that teachers want to come
to because of the strength of the
community; a place also, where boys can
embrace spiritual, sporting, cultural and
community activities, which all combined
shape boys into men. That’s the priority
and that is in our DNA.
We welcome parents and boys to the
College’s Open Day on Wednesday 8 May
between 9.00am – noon, where you will
have the opportunity to tour the College
and meet staff and students.
Parents are also invited to attend the
Information Evening, commencing at
7.00pm, where Senior Management and
students will provide further information
about the College.

- Preparing
students for
their future
“Our aim is simple... to
provide the best education
possible for every student”
Giving students the
opportunity to study from
an innovative and broad
curriculum is critical to
providing each student a
pathway that meets their
individual needs. We allow
for a greater range and
flexibility in subject choice
including the utilization
of the secondary/tertiary
interface. This reinforces the
philosophy underpinning
personalised learning and
is strongly supported by
understanding our students’
interests, passions, talents,
and ultimately their career
aspirations.
We understand that for effective
learning to take place, it has to be
implemented in such a way that students
will be highly engaged. The school
does this in a ‘forward thinking’ way by
creating learning environments that allow
our students to see value in what they do
and achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” is what
we represent and we demonstrate this by
having young adults leave our school as
confident learners who have gained the
appropriate qualifications and social skills
to become valued contributing members
of society.
All that we do here is reinforced by
positive relationships, an ethos of caring,
NOR’WEST NEWS
cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and
high expectations – what we call “Our
Full service Model”. The school highly
values the connectedness of curricular
and co-curricular learning. We have a
philosophical understanding that the
holistic development of the student is
critical to their individual success.
The school has worked hard to
consolidate recent initiatives to ensure
sustained and continuous improvement.

FOCUS ON HEALTH
1 in 2 people
deficient in B12
Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and
as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.
Scientists at Rush University Medical
Center found those most deficient
in vitamin B12 to have the smallest
brain mass and the lowest scores on
tests measuring short-term memory,
concentration and brain performance.
Another study showed that older people
with higher levels of B12 in their blood
have bigger, healthier brains and score
higher on cognitive tests than those with
lower levels. Yet another recent landmark
study showed that B12 supplementation
slows the accelerated rate of brain
shrinkage and declining cognitive function.
B12 is essential for energy production, cell
health, regulation of mood and sleep cycles,
nerve health and repair, and prevention
of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular
risk factor that is known to cause damage
and plaque in the blood vessels. It can also
increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard
researchers found
a 34% decrease
risk of vision
loss in a study
of participants
aged 40+ who
supplemented with
B12. Another study
linked a higher risk of hearing loss in
IS YOUR BRAIN SHRINKING?
Brain fog, forgetful, feeling old, low energy, mood swings,
difficulty sleeping, pins & needles, numbness in legs
Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking brain due to a lack of vitamin B12. Supplementation of
methylcobalamin B12 has been shown to reduce the rate of brain shrinkage & support memory &
brain function. B12 is also known to protect against homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk
factor that can also damage the hearing, eyesight & affect the mood. B12 is essential for energy,
cell health & nerve function.
B12 SUPPORtS:
• Memory & Brain Performance
• Helps protect against brain
shrinkage
• Energy & Recovery
• Nerve Function
• Vegetarian’s Diet
• Helps protect blood vessels from
damage
• Sleep & mood regulation
• Cellular Health & Repair
• Good Health
• Cardiovascular Health
• Eye sight - Study showed a 34%
decrease risk of vision loss in
those supplemented with B12
• Hearing loss - Study linked a higher
risk of hearing loss in subjects in
their 60s who were low in B12
subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.
The reason so many people lack B12
appears to be our body’s ability to absorb
it declining with age as the digestive
system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux
medication and other drugs further reduce
B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in
the form of Methylcobalamin sublingual
tablets that are dissolved in the mouth and
thru bypassing the digestive tract have
been shown to effectively raise B12 levels in
the body.

The tree of LIFE
New research on Gingko
Biloba excites researchers!
For decades scientists believed brain
damage with age, after a stroke or injury
was irreversible and brain neurons could
not be repaired. In more recent times,
new research has shown that neurons
can grow back with the right conditions
and that a special extract of Gingko
Biloba (EGb-761 or TEBONIN) has
been clinically found to assist in this.
The implications for stroke recovery are
obvious, but researchers also know many
of us suffer from undetected “microstrokes”
that over a period of time slowly
reduce our cognitive function. TEBONIN
is prescribed worldwide as a natural
supportive agent for a healthy brain and
cognitive function. It supports healthy
mental performance, concentration, focus,
alertness, motor function and to help
with many conditions including tinnitus
(ringing and noise in the ears), vertigo
and normal balance. TEBONIN improves
micro-circulation and helps the blood
flow reach those critical places it needs to
get. It is a potent anti-oxidant and makes
the red blood cells more pliable and
capillary walls more flexible.
TEBONIN is one of the most widely
studied and researched herbal products in
the world and is the only Ginkgo biloba
extract manufactured via a patented
multi-step extraction process. Each small
tablet contains a highly concentrated
50:1 extract to give you a therapeutic
clinical dose without having to take a large
amount of the herb. Of 25 Gingko biloba
products on the market, and tested by a
major medical journal, only TEBONIN
passed all five of the test requirements.
Ten brands didn’t meet any requirements
and the rest didn’t pass more than three
out of five requirements. TEBONIN is
the only Gingko biloba extract shown
to activated all areas of the brain and is
considered the gold standard in Gingko.
TEBONIN has been trusted by millions
of consumers worldwide for over 30
years with more than 8,000,000 tablets
consumed each day.
TEBONIN and further information
is available from the Natural Health
Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural

Community Centre
There are exciting times ahead for
Risingholme Community Centre,
as we prepare to re occupy the

in the Risingholme Park in Opawa.
This occasion will be marked with a
Mayoral Opening on Wednesday 5th
June and a Community Open Day
will take place on Saturday 8th June
when members of the community
are welcome to come and have a
look at the refurbished facilities.
Risingholme Community Centre

exciting learning opportunities across the
city. With the start of term 2 on Monday
6th May and winter approaching why not

Looking after each other
and ourselves
This Autumn the WEA is offering a
range of courses with the emphasis on
self and social care. We recognise that
having opportunities to listen deeply to
one another, and to come together around
a shared activity or experience are vital
parts of building a safe and connected
community. It is also true that to look after
others we must first look after ourselves. It
can be as simple as building time into our
busy lives for things that feed us: perhaps an
artistic or musical pursuit, learning a new
language, or practicing meditation. With
a range of over 40 courses from Middle
Eastern Dance to Understanding the Treaty
in 2019, Foraging to Rethinking Mental
Health and a welcoming and enthusiastic
community of learners, there is lots to gain
from a course at the WEA and we would
love to see you there.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS
NOR’WEST NEWS
Tyres, rims and even
great coffee
Word of mouth is the best
recommendation for any business, and there
is a raft of customers happy to recommend
JCM Direct Tyres in Middleton. The
independent, family-owned and operated
business supplies tyres, mags and rims and
it is clear from their feedback that they
provide ‘outstanding customer service,’
‘really know what they are doing,’ and even
provide ‘tasty coffee.’
Reviews like these are hard-won, with
the emphasis being on making sure they
go the extra mile to really meet the needs
of the client. As an independent dealer,
they are not tied to a specific brand.
Instead, they will look at your vehicle,
your budget and your driving style to
provide you with what you need instead
of what the franchise wants you to have.
This can be brand new tyres such as Pirelli,
Continental, GT Radial and Nankang, or
high end, almost-new second hand tyres
in mint condition, often the same brand
names as the new options. The JCM team
wants to know their customers are leaving
them with their vehicles, from caravans to
utes, that are safe on the roads.
They will give you their honest opinion
and expertise about what you need too.
It could be more cost effective in the long
run to spend a little more a quality tyre and
reduce the risk of punctures on the Garden
City’s rebuild roads, and if you do have a
puncture, they can repair it quickly and
efficiently.
It is not only tyres – they supply rims
from the 1930s to the present day. If you
are lucky enough to own a classic vehicle,
you will know how difficult it can be to
find authentic parts, and the JCM team will
help you source what you need.
They also provide alloy wheels, spare
wheels plus wheel and tyre combo packages
to make their excellent products even more
affordable. They are even able to help you
with finance options.
Open six days a week, you can find
them at 8c Birmingham Drive on the
corner with Hands Road. Check them
out on Facebook.com/JCMDirect, or
visit JCMDirect.co.nz to see what their
family can do to help your family.

HOME & HEATING
The
importance
of air quality
Choosing the
right heat pump
for your home
The quality of the air we breathe
affects our health and ability to
perform. We breathe in and out
approximately 20,000 litres of
air every day. It is therefore very
important to ensure good air
quality indoors through adequate
ventilation. Ventilation is the
process of air exchange to provide
the necessary air quality that meets
the needs of the occupants for clean,
fresh air. Low oxygen with high
carbon dioxide causes stuffiness
in the room and occupants can
feel drowsy. Invisible harmful
substances like a high content of
dust and tobacco smoke are harmful
and can cause various diseases. Even
bad smells can cause discomfort
or irritate the nervous system. In
summer, it’s easy to open windows
for cross ventilation, however as
winter approaches, we start to shut
up out houses to trap in the heat and
as a result, air quality can decline.
Ventilation includes both the
exchange of air to the outside as
well as circulation of air within
the building. It is one of the
most important factors for maintaining
acceptable indoor air quality in buildings.
Filtered air supply for summer and filtered
and warmed air in winter creates a healthy
environment in which to live and work. In
case of poor or insufficient air intake from
outside, the oxygen content decreases,
humidity and dustiness levels increase. If
exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is
not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity
and harmful substances are not removed.
To ensure the quality of your air, contact
the experts. Smooth-Air Products can
calculate the required air exchange for
your building requirement.
Smooth-Air offers a wide range
of ventilation equipment, from
air vents to ducting for fans,
for both the commercial and
domestic markets. They have
an extensive range of fans and
ventilation components instore
but they can also provide
innovative solutions tailored to
differing requirements.
You can contact Smooth-Air on
0800 SMOOTH (0800 766684).
Are you struggling with the heat of
Summer or wanting to get organised for
Winter? With the ever changing weather
patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility
of being able to heat and cool which is an
advantage no other appliance can offer. This
represents great value for your investment
as you can use it all year round. The team
at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you
cool this Summer either at home or work.
Enviro Master supplies, installs and services
all the leading brands including Panasonic,
Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means
our team can show you which system and
brand will best suit your needs.
With new regulations coming in for
Landlords to provide heating in rentals,
now is a great time to beat the 1st of
July deadline. Inadequate heating and
ventilation can lead to mould growth and
dampness in your property, leading to
costlier maintenance and an unhealthy
living environment. Providing a fixed
heater with a higher heat output and lower
running costs, like a heat pump, will enable
your tenants to heat the area effectively.
It will also discourage them from using
unflued gas heaters which can make a
house damp and mouldy.
It is important to remember, when
selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s
warranty does not cover the installation
and consumers could be responsible for
any repair or damage caused to the system
due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s
five-star installation guarantee ensures
correct installation, and a demonstration
so customers have an understanding on
how it will best meet their needs.
For a free in home consultation, call

showroom at 41A Shakespeare Rd,
