Reprieve 

for gallery 

through 

$6000 

funding 

boost 


A FINANCIAL crisis for 

Brighton Gallery has been averted 

for now. 

Early last week, the Brighton 

Gallery Trust was facing the 

prospect of closing the gallery if it 

could not find extra funding. 

It asked the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board for a grant of 

$6832 to pay its rent for next five 

months, but only $4100 was given. 

THis would have only allowed 

three months to find a way to 

keep the gallery open. 

But, the Rata Foundation came 

to the rescue, granting the gallery 

$6000 on Friday. 

Gallery trust secretary Jayne 

Cummins said the board’s grant 

wouldn’t have been enough to 

save it, but Rata’s grant made sure 

the gallery’s immediate future was 

secure. 

“It’s just taken the weight off 

and we’re just over the moon.” 

She said the two grants 

combined would be enough to 

keep the gallery going until the 

end of this year at least.

GREAT NEWS for long suffering Bromley 

residents on page 1 today: The tide is finally 

turning in the long running war against 

the midges. 

And Janet Profit can take a lot of the 

credit for it. 

Janet, who lives in Shortland St, has battled the city council 

for years over the midges, which gather at the oxidation ponds - 

and then cause havoc for residents nearby. 

She has featured regularly in the Pegasus Post over the issue, 

which in my humble view has kept the pressure on the city 

council to come up with remedies. 

To their credit the city council has. The $300,000 which goes 

into fighting midges each year seems to be paying off. 

A good result all round.

To avoid potholes – Google it! 

Map being developed to 

indicate bumpy roads 

• By Julia Evans 

WORKING OUT how to 

avoid potholes and bumpy 

roads will soon easier with the 

development of a website map. 

The city council is working 

on a new “roughness condition 

map” which will show the 

condition of each road, lane, 

street and drive around the city. 

Said city council planning 

and delivery transport manager 

Lynette Ellis: “The roughness 

condition map will identify 

how rough a road is, both as a 

measurable number, and as a 

description (eg good or poor).” 

Ms Ellis said the technology 

is used elsewhere in New 

Zealand and there is no direct 

connection between the map 

and the earthquakes as the map 

will be using recently measured 

data. 

“The driver for this is to share 

factual information concerning 

the transport network with the 

community,” she said. 

It will also be used to help 

inform decision-making city 

councillors and community 

boards make with regard to 

investing money and prioritising 

infrastructure. 

“Functionally this is using 

data that council already holds, 

and serving it onto the website 

via new software that has been 

made available via council’s 

geospatial programme,” Ms Ellis 

said. 

The map is intended to be live 

on the website later this year. 

The state of roads around the 

city remains a hot topic eight 

years after the February 22, 

2011, earthquake. 

Last year’s city council Long 

Term Plan was set to focus 

on the “basics” – setting out 

to prioritise improvements to 

roads and footpaths alongside 

wastewater infrastructure and 

drinking water upgrades. 

ROUGH: The city council is 

working on developing a 

map for its website to tell 

residents which roads are in 

the poorest condition such as 

this damage on New Brighton 

Rd.

Concern 

over 360 

Trail delays 


THE WAIT continues for a 

walking track linking the Coastal 

and Burwood Wards to be built. 

The track will become part of 

360 Trail, which links tracks all 

over Christchurch if it is completed. 

But the, 360 Trail committee 

were fed up with waiting for the 

track, which would run east from 

the Bromley oxidation ponds to 

be completed. 

Members Judith Millar and Ken 

Couling addressed the Coastal- 

Burwood Community Board last 

week, saying city council staff 

had been telling them since 2017 

that the project would go-ahead, 

but very little progress had been 

made. 

Ms Millar said she was told 

there had been told the project 

manager had changed two times 

since February and this had held 

things up even further. 

“Really, we don’t know where 

we’re at with the project. 

“We are a stakeholder and we 

are not consulted or informed on 

this stuff.” 

When asked to comment on 

the issue, the city council did not 

respond. 

•From page 1 

THe gallery’s only other 

income comes from the 20 per 

cent commission it charges for 

sales and teaching completed in 

the gallery, and the $30 it collects 

from members a year. 

THe community board gave 

$9000 to the gallery last year, but 

members said 

its financial 

situation 

had not 

improved, 

so it could 

not justify 

approving 

the full 

amount 

asked for again this year. 

Recreate co-ordinator Sue 

Davidson said keeping art spaces 

open in New Brighton was 

challenging, but could have the 

solution for safeguarding the 

future of its arts scene. 

Ms Davidson wanted an arts 

centre in New Brighton and she 

was in talks to make this happen. 

At a community board 

meeting last week, chairwoman 

Kim Money recommended Ms 

Davidson pitched her idea to 

DCL. 

Ms Davidson said she had 

already reached out. 

DCL manager of 

communications and 

engagement Cecilia Densham 

said it supported the idea and 

was happy to begin talks. 

“DCL would support the 

idea of a permanent artwork 

venue for the New Brighton 

community. DCL believes in 

creative health and its effect on 

well-being.” 

New Brighton Business 

and Landowners Association 

chairwoman Rebecca Tavete said 

she would support an arts centre 

style space being developed if 

this was given the go-ahead. 

Ms Davidson, a South 

Brighton resident of 20 years 

said she had seen what artists in 

New Brighton and surrounding 

suburbs had to offer. 

With support from Renew 

Brighton and Development 

Christchurch Ltd, Ms Davidson 

has been co-ordinating spaces 

for art in New Brighton Mall 

since the start of this year 

and another space at Te Kura 

Tawhito on Seaview Rd for over 

a year. 

Ms Davidson said a new, 

purpose-built facility would 

be necessary if New Brighton’s

Regeneration plan taken back by council 


RESPONSIBILITY for the work 

to develop a regeneration strategy 

for Southshore and South New 

Brighton will be taken back by 

the city council. 

Regenerate Christchurch was 

originally charged with leading 

the work on the strategy, but after 

carrying out a review late last 

year, it has recommended the city 

council take over the project. 

Last week 

the city council 

unanimously 

agreed that was 

the best way 

forward. 

“This project 

Brendan 

Anstiss 

has moved more 

slowly than 

anyone would 

have liked. We 

have heard the concerns and 

disappointment expressed by the 

affected community about the 

lack of progress,” said general 

manager strategy and transformation 

Brendan Anstiss. 

“We have also received strong 

feedback from residents in Southshore 

and South New Brighton 

that their immediate priority 

is understanding and resolving 

the outstanding impacts of the 

earthquakes. 

“The city council has therefore 

agreed that the best way forward 

is to split the project into two 

separate projects, but have them 

running simultaneously so we 

can avoid delays and get things 

back on track as quickly as possible,’’ 

Dr Anstiss said. 

The first project will be an 

urgent investigation into the estuary 

edge to build a comprehensive 

picture of the changes that 

have occurred as a result of the 

earthquakes and to identify any 

outstanding community needs. 

This work will include specific 

actions and opportunities to 

mitigate inundation and erosion 

that addresses earthquake legacy. 

“At the same time, city council 

staff, together with the community, 

will also do more detailed 

planning on the adaptation 

process for the area to respond to 

climate change, so we can be very 

clear about what is required over 

the longer term for this project to 

be a success,’’ Dr Anstiss said. 

Staff will report back to city 

council in August for decisions 

on next steps for each project. 

“While the leadership 

of the project might have 

changed, we haven’t lost sight 

of the importance of putting 

community at the centre of the 

project. Council will be working

with the engagement approach 

developed by members of the 

Southshore and South New 

Brighton communities – the 

‘How Team’. There is an ongoing 

commitment to work with 

community groups and the wider 

community as these projects 

progress,” said Dr Anstiss. 

The decision has been met with 

strong support from the community 

groups who were present 

at the meeting. 

“As a community we have 

struggled to have the pre-existing 

earthquake issues recognised. 

We are very encouraged that this 

damage has been acknowledged 

today, and a pathway created to 

affect repairs. We are overjoyed 

with the city council’s decision 

and we can now give our support

Said Coastal Ward city

Drop in 

midge 

numbers 

•From page 1 

“When we had those 29, 30 and 32 

deg C days, we thought, here we go . 

. . they’re not next door, because I’ve 

checked with the neighbour and she 

leaves the light on at night time,” 

she said. 

“The thing is, they’ve actually 

disappeared.” 

City council three waters and 

waste operations manager Adam 

Twose told the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board at its meeting 

last week, midge numbers had 

decreased by 36 per cent around the 

Bromley oxidation ponds compared 

to the midge season last year. 

Mrs Profit said though this was 

hard to believe, she had seen these 

results first-hand in the few months 

since summer. 

“If that’s working, keep going,” 

she said. “Where they’ve gone, I 

wouldn’t know.” 

The reduction was a result of the 

city council changing the technique 

used to kill midges around the oxidation 

ponds. 

Mr Twose said midge dredging, 

which involved mechanically dragging 

chains across the pond floor 

where the midge lay their eggs, had 

been much more effective than the 

strategy used before, trying to kill 

midges using chemicals. 

He said dredging meant midges 

were killed before they were born. 

Mrs Profit said she was happy for 

now, but would have to wait until 

summer to see if midges would 

return to her property. 

“Maybe now it is working, but the 

thing is, how long is it going to work 

for?” 

Though there was work still be 

done before midges were completely 

wiped out, Mr Twose said signs 

were positive for the next midge 

season. 

“I am confident we will see a better 

improvement next year,” he said. 

The city council has budgeted 

$300,000 a year between 2018 and 

2028 to go towards midge control 

around the wastewater ponds. 

BIG DREAMS: Caleb Gopal, a dance teacher of Parklands, is one of 

three Christchurch teenagers heading to the World Hip Hop Dance 

Championship in Phoenix, Arizona in August. (Right) Chloe Wright, 

15, Sam Richardson, 19 and Caleb. 


CALEB GOPAL wants to be 

one of the best dancers in the 

world. 

Now, the 18-year-old 

Parklands resident has a 

chance to do so. 

He is one of three teenagers 

from the Team Cozy crew, 

which has qualified for 

the World Hip Hop Dance 

Championship in Phoenix, 

Arizona in the United States 

in August. 

Caleb will dance alongside 

19-year-old Sam Richardson 

and 15-year-old Chloe Wright. 

They finished second in 

the mini-crew category at the 

Hip Hop International New 

Zealand Championship in 

Auckland last month and 

were one of just three teams 

from the category to qualify 

for the worlds. 

Caleb said dancing was his 

life. 

He balances his job as a 

dance teacher and weekly 

practices with the crew. 

He believed Team Cozy 

could go all the way to 

win. 

“We’ve wanted this for a 

long time and now we’ve 

finally got the opportunity, 

so we’re ready to put in that 

work. Really, it comes down 

to how hard we want to work 

and how hard you do work to 

the result that you will get on 

the day,” he said. 

Attending the world 

championships had been a 

life-long dream for Caleb and 

the crew.

He said he would be proud 

regardless of the result they 

achieved. 

“No matter where we 

come, last or first place, it’s 

an achievement stepping 

on that stage . . . either way, 

we’re going to be stoked and 

grateful for the opportunity.” 

Preparation for the event 

would involve up to three 

practices a week and extra 

practices as the event drew 

closer, said Caleb. 

He was excited to showcase 

Team Cozy’s uniquely 

Christchurch flavour to the 

rest of the world. 

“No one really knows what 

to expect when it comes down 

to Christchurch or the South 

Island.” 

The crew would have to 

showcase three styles of 

hip hop dancing during its 

routine. 

These would include break 

dancing, house and new 

school swag. 

He said for those who had 

never seen these dance styles 

before, they were all about 

“just feeling good.” 

Caleb said his team would 

fund some of the cost of 

the trip themselves, but was 

looking for sponsors to ease 

the cost of getting to Arizona.

been set up for those who

Theirs is one of the 14 new 

two-bedroom units at the complex. 

Miss Mihaka said this was a 

world apart from where she was 

living just a few months ago. 

“It’s warm with double glazing, 

really, really warm. We’ve got 

our own spaces, she’s got her 

room where she’s got her TV and 

games all set up and I’ve got my

CONSTANCE AND her family 

couldn’t afford internet. 

After their previous plan became 

too expensive, the Linwood 

residents were thrown a lifeline. 

They are one of a number of 

families across Christchurch, who 

have received free wireless broadband 

as part of a programme to 

help those who can’t afford it. 

The programme was a partnership 

between Variety, the Children’s 

Charity, and 2degrees and 

was also being rolled out to 36 

new development, which also 

includes 23 one-bedroom units 

and a large common room. 

Their new living conditions 

would allow Miss Mihaka 

and her daughter, who was 

completing tertiary study, to get 

families with children at Bromley 

School. 

Constance said this would 

make a big difference for her children 

Chelsea, Nevaeh, Wairua- 

Terehia and her husband Dan. 

She said school had been hard 

for her children without internet 

access and they used to have to 

go to the library to get homework 

done. 

“It’s just hard because everything’s 

done online.” 

She said having access to internet 

again would help her family 

move forward in life. 

on with life. 

“I think our lives will be 

changed in a good way now compared 

to what I was in for years. 

The change is going to be good 

for us in the long-run as well.” 

“It means a lot to me because 

“It just takes a bit of the hassle 

off . . . it’s good for us because, 

with school work for the kids, 

they can do projects. 

“My husband wants to start 

a business eventually . . . it just 

helps to get our own stuff sorted, 

goals that we want to get sorted 

and we’ve got quite a few.”

home.” 

Residents and neighbours 

came together with Housing 

New Zealand staff last month 

to celebrate the opening of the 

new homes. 

Miss Mihaka said some of 

her new neighbours had been 

through their own struggles and 

a real sense of togetherness had 

grown as a result. 

“I’ve met all of the neighbours 

now and everybody’s happy and 

excited and they kind of came 

from similar backgrounds too.” 

“This is about building a community 

for our people, but it’s 

about building a community for 

Richmond and Eveleyn Couzins 

as well,” said Housing New

Benson. 

“With this space, it’s about

Funding 

boost for 

mentors 

A NEW Brighton mentoring 

programme has received $5000 

from an accounting firm. 

The donation went to Youth 

Alive Trust and was made by 

Social Currency, a new business, 

which donates 10 per cent of its 

sales to programmes for at-risk 

kids. 

Thanks to the donation, a New 

Brighton teenager with few 

male role models now has a 

mentor, New Brighton’s Paddy 

Caffell. 

The two get together each 

week to talk, go to the gym, skate 

and sometimes do community 

projects. 

Mr Caffell said he had some 

very tough experiences as a 

teenager himself and it was 

one of the reasons he was 

passionate about supporting 

young people. 

“I was being hit at home and 

I never had the courage to tell 

anyone. It’s difficult to see what’s 

happening in the head of a 

teenager, but I’m in a privileged 

role of walking alongside someone 

who I have built trust with,” Mr 

Caffell said. 

Competition to name takahē 

LEE MEESE has chosen Poa as 

the name for a takahē chick. 

The Avonside resident’s name 

suggestion was chosen as the best 

of the 1800 submitted as part of 

a competition run by Mitre 10 to 

name the bird. 

The six-month-old takahē is 

the first chick of the season to be 

named. 

Ms Meese did plenty of 

research before submitting Poa 

as her suggestion. 

It is short for poales, 

the biological order of plant, 

which includes grasses and 

tussocks. 

“The thing that stood out was 

the grass and tussocks. That’s 

roots for me, and where you 

come from is part of who you 

are. Poa was pulled from a plant 

name, it felt strong for me and 

fitting for a New Zealander – 

male or female,” said Ms Meese. 

“I’m really excited to be part 

of something important, even if 

it’s just choosing a chicks name. 

Saving an endangered species is a 

massive thing.” 

Mitre 10 has been a sponsor 

of the Takahē Recovery 

Programme since 2005 and the 

winning name was chosen by its 

team. 

“We were very pleased to 

see the winner had made the 

connection between tussock 


grasslands to the takahē story. 

One of the Takahē Recovery 

Programme’s advocacy goals 

is to increase public awareness 

about the vital role this habitat 

plays in takahē conservation and 

we thought the name Poa was a 

perfect fit,” said takahē advocacy 

ranger Julie Harvey. 

As part of the prize, Ms Meese 

won a trip to Queenstown and 

Fiordland to visit the Burwood 

Takahē Centre.

Call for better bird protection 


MORE NEEDS to be done to 

protect birdlife around the Avon- 

Heathcote Estuary. 

The Avon-Heathcote 

Estuary Ihutai Trust says dogs, 

drones and 

people continue 

to be a threat 

to the 118 bird 

species, which 

call the estuary 

home, including 

godwits. 

Tim Lindley 

The Coastal- 

Burwood 

Community Board will now 

investigate what it can do to better 

protect these birds after trust 

members expressed concerns at a 

meeting last week 

The estuary became part of the 

East Asian-Australasian Flyway 

network last year, a network, 

which protects migratory waterbirds 

across wetlands in about 20 

countries. 

Trust member Tim Lindley 

said the birds, which used the 

estuary faced threats that people 

may have not been aware of. 

“Birds do see dogs as wolves 

. . . it’s quite important that 

they’re not disturbed by dogs.” 

Mr Lindley said the estuary’s 

proximity to the eastern suburbs 

in both the Coastal-Burwood 

and Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

wards made protecting them 

even more important. 

“The birds stop feeding for 10 

minutes when they are interrupted 

by humans. 

“Because this international 

flyway is in an urban area, it’s 

only going to get worse. 

“It’s dinner time for the 

birds and we need to keep it 

that way.” 

Board members agreed the 

signage currently in place telling 

people to be respectful of birds 

when around the estuary needed 

to be improved. 

Board member Linda Stewart 

suggested signage should give 

more specific information on the 

types of behaviour and activities 

that disturbed birds and how 

this could be avoided. 

PROTECTION: (Clockwise) – Lesser knots, south island pied 

oystercatchers and godwits are being disturbed according to 

the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust.

Residents’ 

association 

for Prestons 


A RESIDENTS’ association 

in Prestons has been formally 

established. 

The Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board approved 

the formation of the Prestons 

Residents Association last week. 

The association had existed 

previously, but had not been 

officially recognised under 

the city council’s Residents’ 

Association Formation and 

Recognition Policy. 

Residents called for it for some 

time and community board 

members agreed this would create 

a more active voice for an area, 

which had been through a lot 

since the earthquakes. 

Board member Linda Stewart 

was appointed to liaise with the 

association and provide feedback 

to the community board and city 

council. 

The association’s boundaries 

include Prestons Rd, Marshland 

Rd and Dunlops Rd and extends 

to Lower Styx Rd, near Spencerville. 

An information leaflet about 

the purpose of the association and 

its boundaries was delivered to 

residents last month.

in third was not far off, with 93

Selwyn House champions 

Penelope Sutton, 8, Amelia West,

Penelope said the quiz was 

“nerve-racking but fun.” 

“The tie-breaker was the hardest

REGENERATION: About 120 people got stuck in at the 

community planting at the Styx Mill Conservation Reserve last 

Sunday. 

Styx Mill planting day 

• By Jess Gibson 

MORE THAN 1500 native trees 

and shrubs were planted in the 

Styx Mill Conservation Reserve 

in Northwood last Sunday. 

About 120 people volunteered 

for the community planting 

run by Trees for Canterbury, 

including students, park rangers, 

members of the Styx Living Laboratory 

Trust, a scout group and 

residents. 

Trees for Canterbury project 

co-ordinator Robin Stove said the 

day went “fantastically.” 

“It was great having people 

from diverse backgrounds there.” 

The main large species planted 

were Kahikatea and Totara 

trees and there was a mixture of 

smaller trees like Ribbonwood, 

Lacebark, Flax and Cabbage 

trees, among others. 

The seedlings were all sourced 

and donated by Trees for Canterbury, 

who gather the native 

tree species from areas such as 

Riccarton Bush. 

Trees for Canterbury has been 

planting in the reserve, as well as 

other sites, for about 20 years as 

part of a regeneration project to 

plant two million native trees in 

Canterbury. 

So far, the group and its volunteers 

have planted and/or donated 

almost one million trees. 

Mr Stove said the plantings are 

a good way to help members of 

the community take ownership of 

their city. 

“It is their city and they should 

be involved in it,” he said. 

Birthday celebrations for 

red zone community garden 

RICHMOND Community 

Garden has celebrated its 

second birthday in the 

residential red zone. 

On May 4, the Richmond 

Community Garden 

Trust held a birthday party to 

show its appreciation to the 

volunteers, organisations and 

individuals who had supported 

it or given their time and energy 

to its projects. 

“Without such support, we 

would not be able to flourish 

and the community would 

not be able to gather, socialise, 

make new connections and 

learn whilst having fun,” said 

Richmond Community Garden 

co-founder Cathy Allden. 

In 2017, the trust was issued 

with a two-year lease 

for one acre of red zone land 

from Land Information New 

Zealand. 

It created a transitional community 

space, floral garden, 

fruit forest and edible native 

garden in Richmond. 

The lease was amended to 

cover .8ha of land six months 

later and extended by another 

three years in June last year. 

Volunteers contribute more 

than 80 hours of work to the 

garden every week, with several 

groups using it regularly. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Richmond Community Garden celebrated its 

second birthday in the residential red zone on May 4.

PEGASUS POST 

The history behind Mother’s Day 

Founder 

of the 

Christchurch 

Women’s Club 

Toastmasters 

Sheila 

Hailstone 

writes about 

how Mother’s 

Day began 

History tells us celebrations 

related to mothers have existed 

throughout the world for 

thousands of years, though 

the Christian celebration of 

Mothering Sunday was more 

about the mother church than a 

celebration of women. 

What is probably unknown is 

the woman who campaigned for 

our modern version of Mother’s 

Day would later denounce the 

commercialisation of this event. 

It took Anna Jarvis six years 

of campaigning in the United 

States to have a day set aside to 

honour mothers or as she put it, 

“the person who has done more 

for you than anyone else in the 

world.” 

Her own mother, Ann Reeves 

Jarvis, had been a peace activist 

caring for the wounded in the 

Civil War no matter their politics 

or which side they fought for. 

Then after the war, she began 

clubs to address public health 

HONOUR: It took Anna Jarvis six years of campaigning in the United States to have a day set aside 

to honour mothers. 

issues and helping women to 

knowledgeably care for their 

children. 

When her mother passed 

away Anna realised, in spite of 

the positive impact women have 

on society, their work for their 

children and the community was 

often overlooked. 

Anna’s Mother’s Day was not a 

commercial event, but was about 

celebrating the achievements of 

women and further reminding 

them of their power and what can 

be accomplished when women 

and mothers come together for a 

good cause. 

Time has not diminished the 

value of Anna’s message. 

Mother’s Day has become 

a date for launching political 

causes. The wife of Martin Luther 

King, Coretta used Mother’s 

Day in 1968 to host a march 

in support of underprivileged 

women and children. 

Then in the 1970s women’s 

groups gathered on this day to 

highlight the need for equal 

rights for women and access to 

child care. 

On Friday at 12.30pm, 

Christchurch Women’s Club 

Toastmasters is holding an open 

day at the Village Church on the 

corner of Frank St and Papanui 

Rd to celebrate the influence 

of mothers and women in our 

lives. 

CWC Toastmasters supports 

women to succeed in any 

venture giving them the skills to 

communicate their vision clearly 

and with confidence. 

Everyone is welcome to come 

to this meeting.

NORTH WAI boardrider 

Ava Henderson took 

on some the best groms 

from across the ditch 

when she competed at the 

Bede’s Grom Shootout in 

Queensland. 

Ava, 14, finished fifth in 

the under 14 girls category 

at the two-day event on 

North Stradbroke Island, 

east of Brisbane. 

The trip to gain valuable 

experience on the big 

Queensland waves comes 

on the back of a stellar 

SPORT 

2019 in New Zealand. 

In January, Ava narrowly 

missed out on the under 

14 title at the national 

surfing championships in 

Taranaki. 

However, since then 

she has competed well 

beyond her years winning 

a number of nationally 

ranked under 16, 18 and 

20 titles. 

She won two of the three 

events on the Billabong 

Grom Series between 

January and March to 

be crowned the under 16 

series champion. 

YOUNG GUN: 

Ava Henderson 

took her skills 

to Australia and 

has finished fifth 

in the Bede’s 

Grom Shootout 

in Queensland. 

Good Aussie showing 

for teen boardrider 

In March she won the 

under 20, 18 and 16 divisions 

at the Duke Festival 

of Surfing and gained the 

No 1 New Zealand ranking 

in her age group. 

Last month she claimed 

the under 18 and 16 

divisions at the Kaikoura 

grom comp. 

Ava will be in with a 

very strong chance of 

being selected in the 

New Zealand team for 

the World Junior Surfing 

Championship which is 

due to be named in the 

coming weeks.

extensive range of educational, sporting and 

cultural opportunities are offered for girls in 

Years 1 - 8. 

A supportive all-girl learning environment 

encourages girls to take risks without fear 

of failure and develops their love of learning. 

They become confident, compassionate, 

articulate and determined young women who 

have the values, skills, and attributes needed 

to not only achieve their goals but to make a 

difference in their communities. Our teachers 

ensure girls are inspired and committed to 

learning as they develop their unique way 

of learning and achieving. The focus across 

Years 1 - 8 is on the growth of the developing 

girl encompassing intellectual, social, physical, 

emotional, and cultural needs. 

Selwyn House is committed to providing a 

continuum of international education. The 

combination of the International Baccalaureate 

Primary Years Programme (PYP) and our 

future-focused STEAM and Mechatronics 

curriculum ensures girls are equipped to face 

a continually changing world with confidence 

and enthusiasm. We focus on instilling strong 

foundations which can be successfully built 

upon. Core learning in reading, writing and 

mathematics is a priority. Specialist programmes 

in Art, Creative Writing, Leadership, 

Mechatronics, Music, Performing Arts, 

Physical Education, Science, Spanish and 

PEGASUS POST 

Swimming play key roles to further enhancing 

learning. 

Selwyn House provides each girl with a 

personalised learning experience. Each classroom 

and specialist teacher has the time to 

foster meaningful relationships with each student. 

Due to our comprehensive learning environment, 

our girls are highly skilled, stand 

out among their peers and are prepared for a 

successful transition to secondary school. 

Selwyn House’s nurturing environment is 

apparent in all aspects of the school. In our 

modern and safe, family-oriented Boarding 

House, girls are supported by dedicated staff 

and tutors. Girls from across New Zealand 

and internationally fondly call the Boarding 

House, their ‘home away from home’ and easily 

form a sisterhood with others. 

We believe in the strength of tradition, the 

promise of the future and the power of education.

SCHOLARSHIPS & SCHOOL OPEN DAYS 

All new for Avonside 

at Ōrua Paeroa 

A new school, a 

new location, and a 

new uniform! What 

a fabulous year for 

Avonside Girls’ High 

school as a new 

chapter in the school’s 

90 plus year history 

is written this year. 

Avonside Girls’ High 

School moved into its new home on 

Travis Road at the beginning of term 

2, taking its traditions, culture, history 

and values along with a 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 moved onto the 

new site in Travis Road to 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 singlesex 

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! 

We welcome interested students and 

their families to come and visit the 

campus on our Open Night. 

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). 

We look forward to welcoming 

prospective students and families to our 

Open Night, Thursday 23 May at 6.30- 

8.30pm.

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 

European 

Car Owners

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

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the

Only eight submi sions were

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking to operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”
