$6000
funding
boost
• By Matt Slaughter
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
• By Matt Slaughter
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.

members said
its financial

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

has been co-ordinating spaces

Regeneration plan taken back by council
Fire rages, homes at risk
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
to working in partnership with
the council,” Southshore Residents

was made to make that journey

thank my colleagues on the community
board, councillors and

exhausting journey but today was
a milestone.”
Said Coastal Ward city
councillor David East: “I am
exceedingly pleased with the
outcome and very appreciative
of the cooperation and
collaboration we’ve seen between
the community groups, elected
members and staff in coming
to an agreement on this, and a

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.
• By Matt Slaughter
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.

“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

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.

Mum and daughter find a new home
Fire rages, homes at risk

ESCAPING A difficult

Miss Mihaka’s mother had

forced to sleep in a car in the

“We’ll be here forever . . . the
home that we’re in now, we can
actually call it home. We’re not
going anywhere.”
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

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
Zealand area manager Fraser
Benson.
“With this space, it’s about
making sure there aren’t two
separate communities. We want
our people to interact with each
other and I can already see that’s
happening, so it’s fantastic.”

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
• By Matt Slaughter
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
• By Matt Slaughter
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.

Quizmasters battle it out
• By Jess Gibson
MORE THAN 200 keen spellers
put pen to paper at the Otago
Daily Times Extra! Canterbury
quiz at Christchurch South
Intermediate.
Pupils from schools across
the city teamed up in threes
last Tuesday and were tested on
spelling, grammar, abbreviations,
matching words with their
country of origin and dictionary
skills.
Selwyn House won the year 5
and 6 section of the quiz with 95
points out of a possible 100.
Their victory followed a
suspenseful tie-breaker with
Fendalton Open-Air School,
which came second with a score
of 94 points.
The St Martin’s School group
in third was not far off, with 93
points.
Selwyn House champions
Penelope Sutton, 8, Amelia West,
9, and Serena Mackle Bayley, 9,
were ecstatic after their win.
Penelope said the quiz was
“nerve-racking but fun.”
“The tie-breaker was the hardest
part. We got really confused
with one word – rhythm,” she
said.

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.

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.

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.
OPEN DAYS
A supportive all-girl
learning environment
Selwyn House School offers a world-class
education with a talented teaching staff
and small class sizes which are set within a
future-focused, nurturing environment. An
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

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

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

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.”
