Now the St Albans designer is
a finalist for the third time. And
this year, she is upping the ante
with three different pieces.
They follow the theme of
mythology and Mrs Hutchison-
Thomas said the designs are
based on shape and colour, but
she could not reveal more than
that before WoW takes place
from September 26 to October
13 in Wellington.
At the age of 18, after studying
fashion at Christchurch
Polytechnic, she began a job as
a wardrobe mistress with the
Southern Ballet.
“I was 18, and while thrown
in the deep end, I knew this was
what I wanted to do,” she said.

Revised
plan not
enough
to reduce
traffic in
St Albans
• By Claire Booker
RESIDENTS ARE unhappy with
the city council’s revised plan to
reduce traffic in St Albans once
the Northern Arterial Motorway
is built.
St Albans Residents Association
chairwoman Emma Twaddell
said the updated plan does not
do enough to reduce congestion
and carbon emissions. She says
the city council is not showing
leadership after it declared a
climate emergency.
The controversial Downstream
Effects Management Plan was
revised after the city council
opted not to endorse it. The
original plan did not address
traffic volumes on Cranford St
which are expected to more than
double from an existing 21,000
vehicles a day to 48,000 vehicles a
day within five years.
However, some of the revised
plan’s major objectives to reduce
traffic, such as public transport
and high occupancy vehicle
lanes, have been described as a
project for the future in the plan’s
consultation document.

Students help bring down old campus
• By Claire Booker
THE HISTORIC buildings
in Papanui which were home
to students from Te Ora Hou
Otautahi have been demolished
in preparation for a new-look
campus.
And it was the students from
the alternative learning programme,
te kaupapa whakaora,
who started the demolition
process with crowbars, hammers
and a bit of hard work.
The Windermere Rd site was
originally a farmhouse, but became
Loreto Convent and later
Loreto College.
The buildings were built in the
early 1950s and are no longer
adequate for the alternative
education programme.
Te Ora Hou Otautahi general
manager Jono Campbell, 47, has
been involved with the education
organisation for 30 years
and says the buildings were rugged
and rundown.
“It was leaking, cold and
drafty,” he said.
Mr Campbell said having the
students involved in the demolition
was part of the organisations

the transition of students from
children to adults.
“One thing we like to do in
this process is to acknowledge
the significant milestones in a
young person’s life . . . so it was
just a chance to engage our guys
with actually being a part of the
process,” he said.
Te Ora Hou Otautahi has

programme was started in 1995.
The programme enrols about
35 students a year, ranging
from year 9-11, and its mission
is to make learning fun and
engaging.
The new buildings are due to
arrive on site today and were
previously used at Canterbury
University.
Mr Campbell said it is hoped
the installation of the buildings,
deck and gardens is finished by
Christmas.
The $2.4 million rebuild has
been funded through support
from the Rata Foundation, the
city council and fundraising.
Mr Campbell is looking
forward to the site being
completed, saying it will be a
space not only for students, but
for the youth of Papanui and
their whanau. “It means we
can support our students to be
healthy, and just be in a much
nicer environment. A place
that they can be proud of, take
ownership in, and actually enjoy
coming to every day,” he said.
In Brief
QE II DRIVE NIGHT WORK
Night work will start on the QE
II Drive bridge from tomorrow
night until August 16. Wall
panels will be removed for the
bridge abutments so further
piling work can happen. This is
because the ground is softer than
first thought, so re-piling work is
necessary to ensure longevity. The
work will take place between 8pm
and 6am.
FACILITY UPDATE
The Papanui-Innes Community
Board has short-listed four
building companies for the
rebuild of the community centre
in St Albans. Tender offers close
today, and the lead contractor
is expected to be announced in
September.
FUNDS APPROVED
It’s good news for 15 young
people in the Nor’West News

the last week from the Papanui-

Students from Villa Maria

St Albans costume designer
looks to sew up award
•From page 1
•From page 1
Since the start of her career,
she has worked in many film,
TV, opera and musical theatre
costume departments throughout
New Zealand and abroad.
“A couple of years ago I finally
got to work my dream job –
costume designer on a period
feature film,” she said.
Mrs Hutchison-Thomas once
doubted whether she was artistic
enough to enter WoW but this
is now her third year in the
competition, and her third time
being a finalist.
“I wasn’t sure if I would
enter again, after winning the
NZ Design Award last year, I
felt I had met my goal. But the
competition is so addictive, and
such a wonderful experience, I
couldn’t pass it up,” she said.
This year WoW has two big
awards which could see the
winners head overseas. The
Cirque du Soleil Invited Artisan
Award will give someone
the chance to visit Montreal,
Canada, and the new Residency
Experience Award, which will
give the winner an opportunity
to showcase up to five pieces
in Los Angeles. Her husband
Tim and her three children Lily,

understand that sometimes when
she has a big job they won’t see
her much, but she said they know
there’s always an
end.
Mrs Hutchison-
Thomas said she
has managed to get
all the work done
with some very long
hours, late nights
and support from
her parents and
husband. This year’s
design process has
been complex due to
the different shapes
in her pieces, and she
has had the added
hurdle of working in
her garage, because
the family recently
moved into a
townhouse, so most
of her studio is in
storage.
After the
competition is over,
Mrs Hutchison-
Thomas will
continue her studies,
and prepare for her
first exhibition in Mt
Pleasant later this
year.

Concerns remain over plan
to manage traffic from
Northern Arterial Motorway
Residents are frustrated
because under the plan the lanes
won’t be completed by the time
the motorway extension opens
late next year.
Said Ms Twaddell: “Have they
forgotten they declared a climate
change emergency a
month ago? Where is
the courage to make a
change that is urgently
required to reduce
carbon emissions now?”
Said city council
transport planning
and delivery manager
Lynette Ellis: “These
projects are not part of
the initial package of
works we’re proposing in the St
Albans, Edgeware and Mairehau
areas, but they are part of the
big-picture approach. We have
also designed the initial package
of work to allow for bus or carpooling
lanes to be added in
when this work is complete.”
However, Ms Twaddell said the
city council needs to move faster.
“We can’t lower our emissions
without better transport options
which allow this. But once
again, the city council is focused
on using our rate money to
accommodate single-occupant
Mike
Davidson
NOR’WEST NEWS
commuter traffic and at the
detriment to many of their
residents,” she said.
City councillor Mike
Davidson said the revised plan is
not perfect.
“The proposal that’s gone out
was never going to be perfect
because when you throw
a motorway into a suburb,
it’s always going to create
bad outcomes. But what
we’re trying to achieve is
something good out of it.”
The city council is
working with the New
Zealand Transport Agency,
Waimakariri District
Council and Environment
Canterbury on a number of
projects to reduce traffic in the St
Albans area, including the high
occupancy vehicle and public
transport lanes.
Ms Twaddell says the
organisation will also continue
to work with the city council to
get a project on the table which
focuses on reducing traffic before
the motorway extension opens.

plan is open until August 19.

Community group head stands down
• By Claire Booker
ALAN AND Dilys Hardy had
the choice to retire in Spain or
Florida, but 13 years ago they
decided on Christchurch.
Mr Hardy became involved in
the Belfast Community Network
but has decided to step down
from his role as chairman.
The couple have been married
for 53 years, and have travelled
to many places together.
Mr Hardy, 74, said there are a
few key factors associated with a
long and happy marriage.
“Perseverance, a sense of
humour and I suppose a lot of
good luck,” he said.
South-West Nigeria, United
Arab Emirates, Chile, Northeast
Nigeria and Egypt are
among the places the couple
have been in their lives.
Mr Hardy had a busy work life
before he retired. He began his
career as a marine engineer and
had various other roles in between
his next stint with a major
international cement company
where he travelled around the
United Kingdom, Middle East,
Africa and South America.
After 18 years abroad, with no
real sense of home, Mr and Mrs
Hardy decided it was time to
settle in one place and retire, New
Zealand seemed like a good fit.
TRAVELLERS: Alan Hardy and his wife Dilys retired to New
Zealand 17 years ago, after a life of travelling they chose
Christchurch to settle ahead of Spain and Florida.

The couple were in Christchurch
for the earthquakes, but Mr
Hardy said although they were
unpleasant, after five years of
working in Chile with regular
tremors and erupting volcanoes,
earthquakes were nothing
unusual.
They first settled in
Northwood but then moved to
Belfast, where Mr Hardy became
involved with the network.
Mr Hardy was on the
board for four years and has
been the chairman for the last
two years, but he has decided
to step back from this role to
focus on his health and enjoy his
retirement.
In his time with the network,
Mr Hardy said one of the things
he was most proud of was getting
a living wage for the staff,
and helping to progress the
many groups the network run,
including the Belfast Active
Senior Support group.
“Recently, through the
support of donators, including
the rugby club, we now do a
holiday programme where we
will take them (BASS group
members) out on trips once a
week somewhere – even just to
the beach so they can put their
feet in the water.”
Mr Hardy says he will miss
being the chairman at BCN
and working with the people
involved with the network.
“I will miss working with the
dedicated board members and
hardworking BCN staff and
seeing growth in their skills and
abilities as they successfully take
on new tasks,” he said.

Students find space mission a real
• By Claire Booker
FUTURE ASTRONAUTS from
St Margaret’s College, Rangi Ruru
Girls’ School and Christchurch
Girls High School have come
back from the NASA space camp
feeling over the moon.
The programme was at the
NASA Johnson Space Centre in
Houston, Texas, over the July
school holidays, with students
from New Zealand, Australia and
Taiwan attending.
The camp was an immersive
programme that supported individual
leadership, project management
and communication skills,
with a focus on STEAM subjects –
science, technology, engineering,
art, and mathematics, or applied
mathematics.
During the camp, the girls met
NASA astronauts, explored all the
different NASA facilities, and visit
areas that are usually closed to the
public.
The students also visited interactive
museums and displays which
enabled them to get a real appreciation
of the science that supports
space exploration.
The students were in Huntsville
in the lead up to celebrate the 50th
anniversary of the lunar landing.
They watched the launch of
5000 rockets at the exact time that
Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong
left earth on July 16, 1969, which
was also part of the Guinness Book
of Records attempt.
At space camp in the US Space
and Rocket Centre, the students
were involved in activities such as
spinning around in the multi-axis
trainer and got to experience a
minimal gravity simulation.
The students spent their days
doing different space-related
challenges and competitions,
from building and coding robots
to constructing and launching
rockets as well as completing the
simulated Mars mission.
In the Mars mission, each student
had a particular role either in
mission control, on the space shuttle
or on the International Space
Station.
The girls got to launch the rocket
with the shuttle, dock the shuttle
with the ISS, conduct experiments
and activities dressed in space suits
and then swap over astronauts to
return them back to earth.
Linda Chong, head of the centre
of innovation at St Margaret’s College
accompanied the students and
said the girls coped well throughout
the action-packed trip.”I hope
that their interest in STEAM has
been fuelled. Anything is possible
and this experience has inspired
them to greatness,” Ms Chong
said.

mission
within a set
budget. We
also worked
towards
completing
a challenge
which
involved us
working in teams of four
to create a business that
would solve the growing
problem of space junk.
This culminated in us
presenting a business
pitch to some NASA
engineers, which was both
terrifying and incredibly
exciting. We somehow
also managed to find time
on our trip to see a major
league baseball game,
and get some shopping
done of course. I met
some awesome people
and had the chance to
learn some incredible
things. It’s an experience I

I got to see the historic
mission control, the Saturn

It definitely enhanced my

this trip also helped me

Spuds fund Helen’s scooter
• By Matt Slaughter
STUDENT Volunteer Army
volunteers got to work in and
around St Albans and East
Christchurch last Saturday.
About 100 students and 20
community members worked
on more than 10 projects
including maintenance work at
Montessori BestStart pres-chool
and Rawhiti Domain in New
Brighton.
The volunteering effort was
part of the SVA’s connect the
community project, which has
been part of its calendar since
2013 and become its secondlargest
event of the year.
Said SVA president Sati
Ravichandiren: “This event
[is] about maintaining that
connection and continuing to
connect.”
Mr Ravichandiren said students
and community members
benefited from the volunteering
work.
“They’re really appreciative
of getting those student hands
helping out and providing that
labour. But, more than that as
well, when you meet with the
families who came along and
talking to people who joined
us in the hub afterwards, it’s
great for the students to feel that
appreciation.”

FOR 15 YEARS Helen Ratapu
has struggled with back pain and
arthritis, which has stopped her
from taking her grandchildren
swimming and to the park.
But now the 65-year-old of
Redwood can do all she ever
wanted to, thanks to potatoes.
Mrs Ratapu has been trying to
get funding for a mobility scooter
for the last eight months, and
help finally came from the Belfast
Kaiapoi Rotary Club.
The club holds an annual
fundraiser in which it grows and
sells new potatoes over Christmas.
Some of the money raised was
used to purchase Mrs Ratapu’s
mobility scooter for $3200.
“This will change my life,” she
said.
The potato fundraiser has been
running for about eight years
and has previously paid for items
including Chromebooks for
Northcote School pupils, before
school breakfast programmes, and
transport to mid-week school sports.
Mrs Ratapu’s husband has
been taking their grandchildren
swimming and to the Margaret
Mahy Playground on their bikes.
Now Mrs Ratapu is able to do
things like that with her new
mobility scooter, if it will go that
far. She couldn’t decide what she
is most looking forward to, but
being out with her grandchildren
over the summer is an exciting
prospect.
“There’s nothing in particular I
want to do – just lots of things in
general,” she said.
Mr and Mrs Ratapu have
been the caregivers for their
granddaughters, Jodi, 9, and Zoe,
11, for the last five years. Mrs
Ratapu is pleased she will be
able to spend more time with them.
A combination of osteoporosis
and degenerative arthritis have
led to multiple bone fractures for
Mrs Ratapu and make moving
around painful and dangerous.
Since she received the scooter,
Mrs Ratapu has enjoyed getting
out with her granddaughters, and
is looking forward to the warmer
weather and all the different
activities they will get up to.
She is grateful to the Rotary club,
which has also donated a shed to
store the scooter in.
Said Belfast Kaiapoi Rotary Club
president Peter Prattley: “Our club
is committed to helping those who
need a bit of a hand up.”
“All those who helped grow,
harvest and sell the potatoes,
along with our valued customers
who regularly buy them, can be
pleased to see the funds making a
real difference to someone’s life,”
he said.

Save money by trading baby clothes
• By Laura Hitchon
A NEW venture to help parents
of newborn babies save money
has opened in Christchurch.
The Canterbury Baby Clothing
Library in Spreydon operates
a clothing exchange system
where members can trade good
quality second-hand baby clothing
for other good quality second-hand
baby clothing items of
a similar nature. Library owner
Jacky Bakker said the library
system loosely worked on a likefor-like
exchange.
Ms Bakker said she came up
with the idea for the business after
buying some expensive baby
clothing for her grandson on an
overseas website and discovered
it was too small, but was unable
to exchange it.
“Babies are constantly growing,
so rather than people
throwing out their old baby
clothes and sending them to
landfill, why not exchange
them,” she said.
In addition to reducing
landfill, Ms Bakker hoped to
make shopping for baby clothes
more enjoyable, affordable and
less time-consuming for new
parents.
Customer and grandmotherto-be
Janice Belgrave said it
was easy to spend $35 on a new
outfit that only ended up being
worn once or twice. “It’s great if
parents are able to recycle and
reuse where possible,” she said.
Christchurch Parents Centre
president Yvette Cundy said a
lot of parents were surprised at
how quickly they went through
clothing and that selling them
online was a time-consuming
process. “The process of putting
items up on Trade Me, listing
everything and waiting for people
to collect the items, it’s just
too hard,” she said.
Ms Bakker said having a baby
was meant to be an enjoyable experience,
but people got caught
up with the image and expense
of it instead of savouring it.
“I get to make contact with
people at the happiest time of
their lives, which is just lovely,”
she said.
Rather than spending a heap
of money on baby clothing, Ms
Bakker believed people should
spend it on what matters, like
car seats, mattresses or good
shoes.
“You can still achieve a cool
look by shopping sensibly,” she
said. Ms Bakker said label clothing
and generic clothing were
treated exactly the same and
what mattered was the quality of
the garment.
“Clothing to be traded must
be free of holes and discolouration
and must have fully functioning
zips, domes and buttons.
“Hats, socks, singlets and

most knitwear are not accepted
but can be donated by members
for other people to use.
“Premature and special occasion
clothing are also available
on request,” she said.
Ms Belgrave said she was
gifting a full membership to her
children and hoped it would
make things a little easier for
them.
“A membership to the baby
library would make an ideal
gift for a baby shower too,”
she said. Casual and full
memberships are available
and visits to the library are by
appointment only. Once the
clothing is exchanged, it’s the
customers to keep.”
BAKE SALE: Papanui High
School students Alisha
Hitchens, Kisania Shingleton
and Bidhya Chhetri looked
after the sweet treats.
Cakes earn $328
for Starship
LAST WEEK, Papanui High
School participated in the
inaugural bake it better for
Starship, a campaign to raise
funds for Starship Hospital.
And they raised $328 for the
cause.
The campaign encouraged
workplaces, schools and communities
to hold bake sales with all
funds raised going directly to buy
new equipment and training for
the National Children’s Hospital.
Students from the Papanui
High School service council and
student council volunteered their
time – with help from their parents
– to bake treats that were sold
to students and staff.
Assistant principal Rachel
McConnell was pleased with the
outcome.
“The baking is always excellent
and the high level of goods had
staff lining up early,” she said.

To have your say on an issue in the city’s
nor’west, email claire.booker@starmedia.kiwi
Readers respond to the
article in Nor’West News
about the low turnout at
the draft Integrated Water
Strategy drop-in meeting
sessions
Jayvine Morgan – Deciding
to have meetings in the middle
of winter, it is no wonder there
was a low turnout. It’s freezing
and we had a particularly
horrible event only four months
ago that shocked our town and
country. This type of incident
can affect people for a long time.
There are already countries
suffering from lack of water.
We have such an amazing asset
here in New Zealand, which
we are almost giving away at
the moment. I hope we become
aware of just how important
water is for the future and our
country has a lot of it. It could
become an important part of our
contribution to other countries.
Marney Ainsworth – The
Bryndwr Community Group
is listed in CINCH, which is
the database maintained by the
Christchurch City Libraries.
We heard nothing about this
consultation. It seems the city
council isn’t even using its own
information to communicate and
connect.
Michael J. Brathwaite – I
don’t think there is too much
consultation. In fact, I don’t think
FUTURE OF WATER: Up to $10 billion has been budgeted for water management in the city
council’s Long Term Plan, yet there was a near-zero turnout at the drop-in information sessions
held recently.
we have any real consultation.
If people are not attending
meetings, it is probably because
by now most residents are aware
of what a sham the consultation
process is. When the council
make a plan, it includes a few
ridiculous things that it intends
all along to remove, then claim
it’s done so in response to the
submissions. Regarding the
water. For me, the main issue is
the Government’s plan to give
health boards the right to force
councils to fluoridate their water
supplies, and when that becomes
law there will be no consultation
because the council and
ratepayers will have no say in
the matter.
Linda Hodgen – I feel the
reason you don’t get residents
turning up to meetings is because
they don’t feel their views will
be listened to. There was a big
turnout rally against the selling
of water rights for plastic bottles
and selling overseas. Nothing
happened and more water is
being bottled. We accepted that
there was a need for chlorine,
which was meant to be
finished in May but there
is still some chlorine. Water
is a valuable resource and we
are giving it away. We are
having to go to deeper aquifers to
get clean water but how big is the
aquifer? I understand it is only
now starting to be measured.
We don’t want sea water
contamination. There have been
two overseas research studies
pointing to a link between high
nitrate levels and bowel cancer.
I understand Christchurch has
a high level of bowel disease
but before anything is done to
control nitrate levels you want to
do another study and so
delay any improvement. Then
you ask why we haven’t turned
up.
Readers respond to an
article about community
boards having more
decision-making powers
Anthony Brooks – The
reason why we don’t want to give
more power to the community
boards is clearly shown by the
example you gave – changing the
name of the cemetery. The main
council says no, the board says
yes, the tail wagging the dog.
With less and less people
making the decisions it becomes
spending money for the sake of
spending and we already have
enough of that.

From Boys’ High to Belgium
for talented young rider
• By Jacob Page
WINNER: Bailey O’Donnell crosses the line after beating a field
of 89 to take a 100km race in Deinze, Belgium.
FORMER Christchurch Boys’
High School cyclist Bailey
O’Donnell’s gamble on himself
appears to be paying off as he
won his first road race in Europe.
The 18-year-old is in the midst
of a two-month stint racing on
the roads of Belgium, an opportunity
organised by former
New Zealand cyclist Hayden
Roulston.
O’Donnell said he would use
the opportunity to try to make
the most of his talent while he
could, but he has also been doing
some part-time building work
back in Christchurch.
O’Donnell won a 100km race,
often referred to as a kermesse,
in Deinze, west of Flanders.
He is racing for a small
under-23 Belgium team and is
loving the experience.
“Belgium is pretty much the
home of road cycling in the
world, I think it’s the biggest
sport here after soccer.
“They have many different
kinds of races on every day of the
week in different areas, people
come from all over the world to
race here.
“They close the whole town
down for the race and every one
from that town comes out to
watch and also there is always a
carnival on at the same time.”
O’Donnell said he saw an opportunity
to take control of the
race and took it.
“I decided to race a lot more
aggressive than I have been and
put myself in to the red a lot
more than usual,” he said.
“It came down to a bunch
sprint and I didn’t know if I had
the legs but I saw a gap open on
the inside with about 300m to go
and I hit it and managed to get
past everyone and hold on for
the win by a few bike lengths.”
O’Donnell said he still has
a month to go in Belgium and
hopes he can catch the eye of
team scouts and hopefully get
the chance to come back.

THE MIDDLETON Grange
basketball team has been playing
with “a chip on their shoulder
all season” and now it’s helped
them claim the Dowson Cup.
They produced a stirring
comeback to win 102-90 and end
Cashmere High School’s twoyear
reign over Canterbury high
school basketball’s equivalent of
the Ranfurly Shield.
They will defend it against St
Andrew’s College next Tuesday.
Co-coach Jack Williamson
said the team have “trained
the house down after being
ranked the fifth best school in
Canterbury in the preseason
rankings.

come back to win Dowson Cup
season.”
Cashmere held the cup since
May 30, 2017, when they beat
Burnside High School.
Williamson said he believed
his team could win at the start
of the game, especially with
Cashmere’s imposing Tom
Webley out injured.
“Being down 19 points in the
third quarter, I guess you could
say at that point, I didn’t think
we could come back but the guys
showed plenty to storm back
into it.
“I said to the guys that it was
important to stay grounded after
the win. It’s important not to
get too over-confident after one
result. We don’t necessarily have
the size or the strength of some
teams but we go out there with
a good basketball IQ and a love
of the game and that counts for
a lot.”

A safe, gentle way to improve
fitness and health
For all those wanting to improve their strength,
fitness and overall health in a relaxed, friendly
environment, Charisma Health & Leisure in
Avonhead provides the ideal opportunity.
Not a gym, Charisma Health & Leisure is equipped
with six Shapemaster Powertone electronic beds,
each one designed to target specific muscle groups.
Owner Katrina Barron explains: “With the
Powertone system, the beds are all pre-set to operate
for five minutes, and clients move from one to the
next for the different sets of movements, with their
session lasting just over 30 minutes.
“The speed and resistance of each bed can be
varied according to individual needs, and they are
very safe – people of any age and any level of fitness
can use them and gain the benefits.”
These benefits include improving core strength,
gaining longer, leaner muscles, improving circulation
and increasing energy, as well as helping those with
conditions such as osteoarthritis and multiple sclerosis.
People also find the system useful for regaining
strength and normal movement after surgery such
as hip replacement, Katrina says, and for anyone
with an injury such as a broken ankle or damaged
shoulder, who want to maintain their fitness while
recovering, the injured area can be isolated while
they use the system.
The Shapemaster system was developed in the UK
in the late 1980s, and is now widely used around the
world as a gentle, safe form of exercise. Charisma
Health & Leisure in Avonhead is one of only two
places in New Zealand that offers it.
“Our other advantage is there is no pressure on
people to sign contracts – we don’t have contracts,
we offer flexible packages for our clients,” Katrina
says.
“You can come for a free trial, where we take you
through the system, explain how it works and the
health benefits it provides.
“If you like it you can then take a month’s
membership during which you can come once a
day for as many days as you wish. After that you can
choose from one of our flexible packages.”
Charisma Health & Leisure is located at 45
Merrin Street, just along from the Avonhead Mall.
Phone 358 3834. Open Monday to Friday 7.30am-
5.30pm and Saturday 8am-12.30pm.
The Powertone electronic beds each
provide different sets of movements
for the body’s muscle groups.

Educating locally for lifelong connection
Do you remember the days of knowing your
neighbours? In this digital age, building
local connections creates lifelong anchors
for our children. Whether it’s bringing the
community into the classroom, or making
classroom learning relevant for the real
world, Shirley Intermediate has - since
1934 - been a core part of the wider Shirley,
Richmond and Dallington communities.
With a major building programme
coming, and the move (to next door) of
Banks Avenue School , the local educational
pathways are increasingly compelling.
Know local, go local - Put a stake in
the ground and put your hand up for the
wellbeing and connectedness of your
children within your community. • Social
cohesion and individual growth • Learning
through inquiry and direct teaching
• Learning in the classroom and in the
community • Academia and creativity

A world-class education and
supportive learning environment
Every parent wants to ensure their child
is receiving the best foundation for their
academic future. Selwyn House School
offers this through small class sizes, deep
core learning, talented teaching staff all set
within a nurturing environment and an
extensive range of opportunities.
Selwyn House offers the International
Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years
Programme (PYP) and is proud to be a
leading STEAM focused school. We not only
encourage our girls to work in advanced
STEAM fields, we want our girls to lead
them. Our STEAM Hub provides every
student from Year 1 to 8 access to stateof-the-art
equipment. In Mechatronics,
girls learn the foundations of mechanical
and electrical knowledge. Robotics is
introduced as an interdisciplinary, inquiry
based learning programme drawing mostly
on mathematics, science and technology.
Learning is also enhanced by additional
opportunities including Future Problem
Solving and the 2020 Space Camp trip
where 24 girls will travel to the United States
to attend a week long Space Camp.
A supportive all-girl learning environment
encourages girls to take risks without fear
of failure. As the girls progress they are
confident in their abilities, understanding
that perseverance helps them grow. A
school-wide buddy programme provides
each girl with support and mentoring.
Learning is personalised
and each teacher has the
time to foster authentic and
meaningful relationships.
Strong relationships
between the class teacher
and family ensure each girl’s
learning journey is nurtured
by a partnership of support.
Teachers construct learning
activities to help each girl
identify their personal
strengths.
Selwyn House believes
these strengths can be
applied to academic tasks
and become more powerful
with the acquisition of skills
and knowledge, aiding
intellectual development
and academic achievement.
For this reason core
learning in reading, writing
and mathematics is a
priority. Specialist teachers
in Spanish, Mechatronics,
Art, Science, Physical
Education, Swimming, Performing Arts and
Music work with classroom teachers to help
identify the strengths of every girl.
The environment at Selwyn House
empowers each girl to embrace their future
and develop a love of learning. A Selwyn
House girl will learn to define herself,
accept responsibility, form opinions,
and have compassion for the world.
This combination of achievement,
confidence, and character makes
a Selwyn House education a powerful
and transformative experience.

House or to schedule a personal tour

Tasty Bites
Moreish treats using oats and rice flour
Chock full of fruits, seeds,
and oats, this muesli bar
recipe by Joan Bishop is
a healthy treat. The fat
content and added sugar
is low and the tastes and
textures of the fruits and
spices blend with and
enhance the slightly
nutty flavour of wholegrain
oats. Then top it off with
a decadent yet delicate
black rice steam cake
Pineapple muesli slice
Makes 40-44 slices
Ingredients
50g butter, chopped
3 Tbsp honey
425g can crushed pineapple in
juice, well drained
3 Tbsp lime juice
140g crystallised ginger, chopped
120g dried apricots, chopped
120g dried pineapple pieces,
chopped
1 large egg, size 7, lightly beaten
100g pumpkin seeds
100g sunflower seeds
100g desiccated coconut
140g whole grain oats
100g standard flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
Directions
SENIOR LIVING
Place the butter, honey,
crushed pineapple and lime juice
in a large saucepan over low heat
and stir until melted and mixed.
Add the ginger, apricots and
dried pineapple. Slowly bring to
the boil.
Cover with lid and very gently
simmer for 5min. Remove from
the heat and cool well before
stirring in the beaten egg.
Preheat the oven to 180 deg C
on bake. Line a slice tin (about
20cm x 33cm) with non-stick
baking paper.
Combine the pumpkin seeds,
sunflower seeds, coconut,
wholegrain oats, flour, cinnamon
and nutmeg in a medium-sized
bowl and mix well.
Tip the dry ingredients into
the saucepan containing the
fruits and stir to mix. This is
quite a stiff mixture. Tip into the
lined slice tin. Spread out evenly
over base of the tin with the back
of a spoon or wet hands (mixture
does not stick to wet hands). It is
important the mixture is pressed
down firmly into the tin.
Bake in the preheated oven for
30-35min until set and lightly
golden. Do not overcook.
Remove from the oven and
allow to cool completely in
the tin. Leave overnight before
slicing, if time permits.
Using the baking paper edges,
lift the slice from the tin and
place on a chopping board.
Cut into squares or oblongs as
desired.
Black rice steam cake
Serves 8
Ingredients
200g butter
250g black glutinous rice flour
6 large eggs
250g (generous cup) caster sugar
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp sweetened condensed
milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
Directions
You’ll need a cake tin and a
steaming pan or basket large
enough to hold it. Melt the butter
and use a little to grease the
inside of the cake tin well. Dust
with just a little black flour to
help stop the cake sticking. Start
the water boiling underneath
the steamer so it is ready for the
cake.
In a large bowl, whisk together
the eggs, sugar and salt to get a
frothy mixture with the sugar
dissolved. Stir in the black
glutinous rice flour and baking
powder.
Stirring as you go, gradually
add the condensed milk, the
vanilla extract and finally the
melted butter. Keep stirring
until the mixture is smooth and
velvety.
Pour into the cake tin and sit
in the steaming basket.
Wrap the lid with a clean
tea towel – this will stop water
dripping on to the cake and
create a tight seal.
Steam over a medium-low
heat (making sure there is always
water in the pan). How long it
takes depends on the size and
shape of your pan – between
25-40min.
Check every 5min or so
towards the end of the cooking
time. The top should be gently
springy with not too much
wobble below; then poke in a
skewer to check the middle has
a delicate crumb rather than raw
batter.
Remove from the steamer and
leave to cool for 10min in the tin
before turning out on to a rack to
cool. Serve with strawberries.

Kidney, bladder and
urinary support
A healthy urinary system is needed to
filter and remove waste and excess fluid
from the body. Each part of the urinary
system (kidneys, bladder, ureters and
urethra) works in harmony to drain urine
from the kidneys and escort it out of the
body. If the kidneys’ ability to filter the
blood is seriously damaged by disease,
wastes and excess fluid may build up in the
body. The critical regulation of the body’s
sodium, potassium and acid content is
performed by the kidneys. The kidneys
also produce hormones that affect the
function of other organs. For example,
a hormone produced by the kidneys
stimulates red blood cell production.
Other hormones produced by the kidneys
help regulate blood pressure and control
calcium metabolism. Urinary tract
infections occur when germs enter the
urinary tract and cause symptoms such
as pain and/or burning during urination
and more frequent need to urinate. These
infections most often affect the bladder,
but they sometimes spread to the kidneys,
and they may cause fever and pain in your
back. Not all kidney disease produces
symptoms although some signs there may
be a kidney problem are: puffiness around
eyes, swelling of hands and feet, more
frequent urination - particularly at night,
difficult or painful urination, high blood
pressure and blood in the urine.
Nature’s Sunshine JP-X is a powerful
all natural herbal formula that has been
formulated to support the bladder, kidneys
and provide relief from urinary infections.
The herbs naturally support: improved
digestion, liver function, increase
circulation to promote healing, stimulate
urine flow to flush out toxins, shrink
swollen tissues and reduce inflammation,
neutralise acidity, relieve pain and support
sexual function. JP-X is recommended to
help arthritis, cystitis, diabetes, diarrhea,
dyspepsia, dysuria, edema, gallstones,
gastritis, gout, incontinence, kidney
infection/inflammation, kidney stones,
liver problems, nephritis, prostatitis,
rheumatism, urinary dysfunction, and
urinary tract infection/inflammation and
high blood pressure.

Collagen
the body’s youth protein
Collagen is the primary protein in the
body. It is a major component of skin,
hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments,
joint cartilage, bones, gums, teeth, eyes,
and blood vessels.
In fact collagen is the primary
structural component for all tissue
in the body, providing the strength
and resilience associated with youth,
beauty and wellness. The body’s natural
collagen production decreases with
age resulting in many signs of aging,
such as flaccid skin, wrinkles, ligament
and tendon injuries and aching joints.
Collagen supplementation is one of
the most fundamental things a person
can do to prevent premature aging and
promote youthful vitality.
NEOCELL are the industry leaders
in research on collagen supplementation.
Through advanced research they have
perfected a way to hydrolyse collagen and
effectively reduce its molecular weight this
improving the absorption of collagen into
the blood stream by over 90%.
A clinical study on NEOCELL
COLLAGEN has shown skin hydration to
increase an average of 21% and up to 50%,
with 92% of test subjects experiencing
firmer, softer skin. Most people taking
NEOCELL COLLAGEN reported seeing
visible improvements within two weeks.
Collagen supplementation provides
the nutrients necessary to support the
body’s collagen supply. It can help reduce
fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin
elasticity, support building of strong bones
and teeth, strengthen the nails and hair,
and is vital for muscle growth, It also
assists weight loss by helping burn fat
for energy, promotes wound healing by
supporting the regeneration of healthy
tissue as well as help support overall
health.
NEOCELL COLLAGEN and further
information is available from the
Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s
Health & Natural Therapy, 101Seaview
Road, New Brighton, Phone: 388-5757.

HOME & HEATING
Choosing the
right heat pump
for your home
Are you struggling with the heat of
Summer or wanting to get organised for
Winter? With the ever changing weather
patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility
of being able to heat and cool which is an
advantage no other appliance can offer. This
represents great value for your investment
as you can use it all year round. The team
at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you
cool this Summer either at home or work.
Enviro Master supplies, installs and services
all the leading brands including Panasonic,
Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means
our team can show you which system and
brand will best suit your needs.
With new regulations coming in for
Landlords to provide heating in rentals,
now is a great time to beat the 1st of
July deadline. Inadequate heating and
ventilation can lead to mould growth and
dampness in your property, leading to
costlier maintenance and an unhealthy
living environment. Providing a fixed
heater with a higher heat output and lower
running costs, like a heat pump, will enable
your tenants to heat the area effectively.
It will also discourage them from using
unflued gas heaters which can make a
house damp and mouldy.
It is important to remember, when
selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s
warranty does not cover the installation
and consumers could be responsible for
any repair or damage caused to the system
due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s
five-star installation guarantee ensures
correct installation, and a demonstration
so customers have an understanding on
how it will best meet their needs.
For a free in home consultation, call
Enviro Master on 366 0525 or visit our
showroom at 41A Shakespeare Rd,
Waltham, Christchurch.
The importance
of air quality
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 in-store but they
can also provide innovative solutions
tailored to differing requirements.
