Calling time after 45 years in the classroom 

• By Matt Slaughter 

MURRAY Wright (above) 

remembers walking into a staff 

room full of smoke and wearing 

shorts on his first day 45 years 

ago as a teacher at Shirley Boys’ 

High. The 68-year-old, who 

lives in Cashmere, said he had 

grown a beard to differentiate 

himself from his students. 

His attire and teaching 

style have changed a lot since 

then. 

“You only had three noncontact 

hours a week, I think 

my starting pay was $8000 a 

year.” 

“Teaching in the classroom 

was pretty basic with blackboard 

and chalk.” 

Mr Wright retired on Friday, 

and estimates he would have 

taught about 10,000 students 

geography, social studies and 

english over the course of his 

career.

A GREAT innings has come to end for 

school teacher Murray Wright (page 1). 

Murray, who lives in Cashmere, finished 

up at Shirley Boys’ High on Friday after 

45 years there – his one and only teaching 

stint. 

That is rare feat these days, if not unique. 

I could be wrong, but I suspect there are very few high school 

teachers still around who have been at the one school all of their 

career. 

Murray told reporter Matt Slaughter when he started at 

Shirley BHS, he grew a beard so he looked different to the 

students. 

He’s taught around 10,000 students over the years including 

cricketer Nathan Astle, All Black Chris Jack and Shirley BHS 

current deputy principal Tim Grocott. 

Enjoy your retirement Murray.

Come of Age – The Case for Elderhood in a Time of Trouble 

Throughout history of human life on earth, we have learned from our elders. 

Our lives and our communities have been strengthened by those who have come before us. 

“Getting older is inevitable, 

becoming an elder is a skill.” 

– Stephen Jenkinson 

In todays world as people strive for self-improvement we often lean towards therapists and life coaches to 

gain our knowledge, yet there is a significant lack of intention to engage deeply with our elders as a key 

component of our education. Elderhood today is often understood more in terms of its absence rather 

than its presence. 

It is often said that age carries wisdom, yet at a time when we have 

more older people than we ever have before, why are there so 

few elders among us? What constitutes an elder and how do we 

re-engage with generational wisdom-sharing? 

Stephen Jenkinson is one of the world’s most engaging 

truth-tellers and philosophers on the topic of wisdom, death 

and elderhood. Join us for this unique evening to explore how 

our society can reconnect with the wisdom and humility of 

elderhood. Suitable for any age. 

In brief, Stephen Jenkinson, MTS, MSW teaches internationally 

and is co-founder of The Orphan Wisdom School, 

Ottawa Valley, Ontario, Canada. An award winning 

author of Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul. Stephen 

has also been a subject of the feature length documentary

Shellfish gathering rules could change

RULES AROUND shellfish 

collection in the Avon-Heathcote 

Estuary could change in 

response to a potentially 

declining population. 

A Ministry for Primary 

Industries spokeswoman 

said their recent research 

suggested there could be 

declining cockle biomass in 

parts of the estuary. 

“We are currently assessing 

what management interventions 

may be necessary. This could 

include increased signage, 

commissioning a biomass survey 

of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary 

next year, or reviewing the rules 

and regulations for recreational 

shellfish collection in the 

estuary,” she said. 

“The research indicated that in 

general, people were unaware of 

current management practices in 

the estuary.” 

She indicated that overharvesting 

could possibly pose a 

threat to the bird population. 

“There are some international 

studies, conducted in areas with 

very high cockle harvesting that 

suggest bird populations can be 

negatively impacted by shellfish 

harvesting.” 

The recreational daily bag limit 

for cockles is 150 per person per 

day. 

The shellfish catch limit in the

Last year researcher Stephanie 

Hampson found that cockle 

numbers had fallen dramatically 

between 2012 and 2017. 

Ms Hampson said the combination 

of poor nutrients in 

the water and pressure from 

collecting was responsible for the 

serious decline in numbers.

She said the results indicated 

the catch limit of 150 cockles per

ban put in place.

Ihutai Trust chairman Kit 

Doudney said they would fully 

support a review of rules and 

regulations. 

He said studies from the trust 

also found that shellfish numbers 

had considerably fallen. 

Mr Doudney said the trust 

was growing concerned with the 

shellfish population. 

“We have noticed that every 

low tide there are up to 25 people 

gathering shellfish, which is a 

lot. We also see dogs at low tide 

accompanying their human

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!!

FLOWERS FROM a 

memorial garden in 

Sumner are continuing to 

be stolen. 

Our Lady Star of the Sea’s 

memorial garden was setup 

in September to commemorate 

former members 

of the church who had 

passed away. 

Since then several flowers 

have been dug up and 

stolen overnight. 

Sharyn Lane, who helped 

set-up the garden, was 

shocked to see someone 

had stolen their 1.2m protea 

only two weeks after the 

mosque shootings. 

“Here we have this absolute 

tragedy, don’t we learn 

anything from tragedy in life? 

This has been horrible for 

people and then some bugger 

digs a flower up out of a memorial 

garden,” she said. 

Mrs Lane said they could 

not afford to keep replacing 

the stolen flowers and 

was concerned the garden 

might die. 

“I feel sick about it because 

you think they 

are going to steal the rest 

of plants and there are people 

giving us money 

in good faith to make 

the garden beautiful in 

memory of the loved ones 

they’ve lost.” 

Our Lady Star of the Sea 

parish chairman Michael 

Hannifin had a message for 

the thief. 

“Bring them back and 

there won’t be any repercussions, 

we want them 

back. Even if they are just 

left there in the garden, we 

are more than happy to 

replant them,” he said. 

“It’s just disappointing to 

see someone stealing plants 

in a supposedly affluent 

area.”

Surfing mural has deeper meaning 


A MURAL encapsulating the 

strength of the local surfing 

community has been painted 

on the side of Joe’s Garage in 

Sumner. 

The mural was created by 

United States artist and surfer 

Ty Williams with the help of 

Sumner surfers he called his 

“surrogate family.” 

Williams said the mural, which 

was originally intended to accompany 

the Single Fin Mingle 

surf competition last weekend, 

gained deeper meaning in the 

context of the mosque shootings. 

The artist from Maine said he 

wanted to use his art to become 

part of the heartening response 

shown from New Zealand in the 

wake of tragedy. 

“I just thought If I had the opportunity 

to bring a little bit of 

light to a dark situation why not,” 

he said. 

Williams said he was overwhelmed 

by the reaction from 

New Zealand. 

“Coming from the States I 

think it is enormously inspiring,” 

he said.

gun legislation change but also 

in the way of responding to the

Mr Stewart and his friend Marc

The electric unicycle enthusiasts

He even used it to visit his

City chorus on international stage again 

• By Jess Gibson 

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.

The key to his students’ success 

has been bringing a smile to

grandchildren, Oscar, Albie, 

Ashton and Elliot, and his wife 

Rosemary. 

He said he won’t forget SBHS, 

but his hobbies will now come 

first. 

“I’m intending to come back 

relieving occasionally, but I’ve 

got a bit of redecorating to do 

at home and I play a little bit of 

golf and bridge . . . and I’ll keep 

reading.” 

Mr Wright said he values what 

he has achieved at SBHS and the 

staff and students he has worked 

with. “I can’t think of a different 

career I would have been happier 

in.”

Almost $4k for toy library 

ALMOST $4000 was raised 

to fulfil the wish list of the 

Christchurch South Toy 

Library. 

The Freemasons at Unity 

Lodge No 271 heard the library 

had to move premises twice and 

was under financial pressure, 

member Brook Thorpe said. 

“So the men at unity decided, 

with charity and community 

being two of our main 

philosophies, they would be the 

well-deserving recipients of our 

help,” he said. 

It held a pizza fundraising 

night at Winnie Bagoes, as well 

as holding raffles. 

“Because of the support from 

the Christchurch community, 

Unity Lodge thought it clearly 

spoke volumes about how important 

the Christchurch South 

Toy Library is to the area they 

operate in,” Mr Thorpe said. 

“In light of that, many men 

from our lodge chose to make 

personal donations totalling 

$230, and as a lodge we decided 

to donate $600 towards a wish 

list of toys put together by the 

toy library, from our own funds 

to do our bit.” 

The Freemasons charity also 

donated $600. 

After the pizza fundraising 

night, the toy library was

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

AN ALTERNATIVE route has 

been created in a bid to save 

Hornby’s infrastructure from 

having to undergo major changes 

for a proposed cycleway. 

Greater Hornby Residents’ 

Association treasurer Ross 

Houliston has presented a 

new route to the city council 

which he believes will be 

safer for cyclists to use. 

His solution is to have 

the Hornby section of the 

cycleway run alongside the 

old Little River branch railway 

line to meet up with 

the Christchurch Southern 

Motorway. 

Mr Houliston has suggested the 

cycleway runs from Carmen Rd to 

one side of Branston St – depending 

on where easements could be 

obtained. 

The cycleway would then join 

onto the Springs Halswell Reserve 

on the corner of Springs Rd and 

Halswell Junction Rd before 

joining up to the Christchurch 

Southern Motorway. 

His reasoning was the cycleway 

would be safer, cheaper and could 

link up to Halswell, Prebbleton 

and Wigram. 

He said the alternative route 

would make it easy for Hornby 

schools to join up to, few pedestrians 

use Branston St and it would 

go through all the industrial

areas including past Gough CAT 

Christchurch. 

In February the city council 

went out for consultation on 

the cycleway which runs from 

Templeton through to the central 

city, which it has received a high 

volume of submissions on. 

For Hornby, the city 

council is proposing 

the cycleway run from 

the Waterloo Rd/Gilberthorpes 

Rd intersection 

through Waterloo 

Rd and Hei Hei Rd, 

Buchanans Rd and 

Carmen Rd. 

The route will also 

travel through Sockburn, Upper 

Riccarton and Riccarton. 

Mr Houliston has previously 

criticised the city council’s 

proposal with concerns changes 

to Hei Hei Rd could mean losing 

car parking on the east side across 

from St Bernadette’s School. 

He was also concerned about 

the narrowing of intersections 

Tirangi and Aurora St and Keri 

Keri Place with Hei Hei Rd. 

City council’s transport planning 

and delivery manager 

Lynette Ellis said the city council 

has received Mr Houliston’s alternative 

route but has not had the 

chance to determine if it is viable. 

Former city councillor Bob 

Shearing said he would support 

any use of the railway corridor for 

the cycleway.

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).

Christchurch Girls’ High School 

Te Kura o Hine Waiora 

Founded in 1877, Christchurch 

Girls’ High School - Te Kura o 

Hine Waiora benefits greatly 

from 140 years of proud 

educational achievement. It is 

a learning environment that 

values its rich tradition while

All the programmes at

choices and can determine their own 

future and not have it predetermined by 

others. 

We prepare our students by asking 

them to embrace tradition, innovation 

and excellence and to appreciate the 

importance of each in shaping the future. 

The school values, developed by the 

students themselves, are an integral part 

of the education we offer: 

Compassion Aroha A Christchurch 

Girls’ High School girl will show empathy 

and concern for others. She will have an 

understanding of the world and people 

beyond her own circumstances, giving 

service and acting with decency.

support of her family and whanau. She is 

appreciative of the opportunities she has 

been able to explore at school.

She will be known for her honesty, 

courtesy, reliability and trustworthiness.

Medbury School: Preparing boys for life in the 21st century 

Medbury School is the only independent 

boys’ school in Christchurch, offering an 

education for both dayboys 

and boarders from Years 1 to 

8. Medbury offers a traditional 

education, encompassing the 

Medbury values of manners 

and respect, and its vision is 

to provide an education which 

prepares boys for life in the 

21st Century. 

Whilst placing a high 

value on Literacy and 

Numeracy in a ‘boys-only’ 

learning environment, Medbury also 

believes in helping boys develop as 

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

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.

leadership challenges to new sports, art 

and technologies.

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, 

SOUTHERN VIEW 

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/

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.

outdoor elements. 

Now there is a machine that is sweeping the globe and has

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

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

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

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.
