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 

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 

said.

Library bill 

falls on 

ratepayers 


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. 

City council 

head of libraries 

and information 

Carolyn Robertson 

said because the 

contractor which 

built the library 

has been put into 

Carolyn 

Robertson 

liquidation, the city council will 

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 

in the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. •Turn to page 5

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 


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.

FEEDBACK ON $1M TOILETS 

The city council received 49 

submissions on the $1 million 

toilet blocks proposed for Roto 

Kohatu Reserve in Harewood. 

The public provided feedback on 

the designs for two separate toilet 

blocks to go next to the popular 

Rua and Roto Kohatu lakes. A 

summary of the feedback will be 

available once staff have replied to 

the submitters. 

POLICE STATION REOPENS 

The front counter at the Papanui 

Police Station re-opened on 

Wednesday. All front counter 

services, other than the 

Christchurch Central Police 

Station, were closed after the 

March 15 terror attack. The 

number of police staff involved in 

the response to the attack meant 

services were reduced. Due to 

operational demand, each stations 

opening hours may vary. 

NIGHT ROADWORKS 

Another round of roadworks 

is taking place at the Cranford 

St and Innes Rd intersection 

between 7pm and 6am. The 

Christchurch Northern Corridor 

Alliance team was due to start 

an upgrade of the stormwater 

network on Sunday and plans to 

finish on Friday. The footpath is 

closed and diversions are in place 

for pedestrians.

Now 

Parking limits should boost business 



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.

McMaster & Heap 

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!!

Ms Hume was “really

turnout. The group talked 

about the area’s needs – 

including a community 

hall, adequate facilities, 

more resources, events 

and making the suburb 

enjoyable for young people. 

She said there was

“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. 

Studio serviced 

apartment 

available now! 

Have the independence of your 

own home, and a little extra help with 

meals and housekeeping.

THE CHRISTCHURCH City 

Chorus has its sights set on New 

Orleans. 

The choir of 140 women will 

represent New Zealand at the Sweet 

Adelines International competition 

in the United States in September 

after winning the national heat for 

the 11th time. 

It won’t be the first time the group 

has performed at the competition – 

the choir has previously taken the 

stage in San Antonio, Hawaii and 

Indianapolis in the United States, as 

well as Calgary, Canada. 

In its most recent trip to Las Vegas 

in 2016, the choir finished fifth in 

the world at the competition. 

But director Virginia Humphrey 

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, 

Beautiful Scarves

• Fabulous range of colours

Unichem Bishopdale values natural health 

products, particularly the Go Healthy 

range, including Glucosamine, Magnesium 

and Fish Oils, which they are proud to be 

able to offer their customers at some of the 

best prices in town. 

Glucosamine can assist with joint 

mobility, Magnesium has a number of 

potential benefits including improvement 

to muscle, bone and nerve health, while 

Fish Oils can improve joint, heart and 

mental function. 

If you are unsure what products would 

be most helpful for you, have a chat to 

the team. They have the knowledge and 

understanding of a range of natural health 

products to provide the right advice for 

every individual.

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

NOR’WEST [Edition NEWS datE] 




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! 

Shirley Boys’ High School 

at Ōrua Paeroa 

Finally after 8 years 

of unstinting effort, 

Shirley Boys’ is in its 

new home, one that 

features state of the art 

facilities for teaching 

and learning in the 21st 

Century. 

The new 

campus features a 

Performing Arts Centre, full size all 

weather turf, sports fields, the largest 

school gymnasium in the city as well 

as traditional classrooms and modern 

flexible spaces designed to meet the needs 

of all of its 1250 young Shirley men. 

Shirley Boys’ High School, 

Kiwi Soul Global Vision 

At Shirley Boys’ High School, students 

are encouraged to participate in a vast 

array of sporting and cultural activities 

and in all of these areas they are expected 

to prepare themselves for action and 

success on the world stage, while also 

being encouraged to retain and strengthen 

their own cultural roots. 

Shirley Boys’ High School encourages 

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).

boys’ school in Christchurch, offering an 

education for both dayboys

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

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.




Nurturing and educating 

children for 168 years 

Is your child one of 15 or 50? Is their 

classroom a calm, productive learning 

space or a tension of noise and 

movement? How much teacher attention 

does your child really receive? 

St Michael’s has been nurturing 

and educating children for 168 years. 

Our small co-ed classes and specialist 

teachers ensure your child is an 

individual, well known by staff and 

fellow pupils alike. For at the heart of 

St Michael’s are the essential values of 

Christian faith and good citizenship: 

respect, integrity, faith, hope and love. 

St Michael’s is a prep school so 

your child is assured of a traditional 

foundation in English and Mathematics. 

This academic rigour then underpins our 

wider curriculums in Science, History, 

Geography and Spanish. IT literacy 

is taught, not assumed, and computer 

use is measured. We like teaching and 

talking to our pupils! 

Cultural and sports’ programmes 

develop your child’s foundation further, 

as creativity and problem-solving come 

in many forms. Specialist art and music 

classes are enjoyed weekly; and most 

pupils play at least one instrument. 

There are two choirs, and drama lessons. 

Our new Y7&8 Programme ranges 

from financial literacy to outdoor ed, 

leadership challenges to new sports, art 

and technologies.

Papanui 

High School 

- 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, 


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. 

You are invited to view our website, 

school charter, ERO report, and/or 

contact the school for more information. 

We look forward to welcoming all 

prospective students and their families/ 

whanau to visit our school.

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

Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural 

Therapy in New Brighton. PH: 388-5757.

outdoor elements.

LED was invented by NASA as they were looking for a light 

source to grow plants in space, from this they found that it 

had amazing skin cell rejuvenation and it wasn’t long before 

LED infrared was used in hospitals around the world. 

Doctors then noticed patients started looking younger 

whilst under a program of RED LED light treatments after 

their surgery and injuries, which led them to study colour. 

It was found that skin cells recognise colour and that each 

colour has a job to play in the performance of the living 

skin cell.

experience with the LED light therapy with documented 

results in: 

• Anti-Ageing – Wrinkles, Age spots, Scaring

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

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 


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,
