IT’S A dirty job, but someone
has to do it.
That is Hornby’s Trevor
and Alison Murray’s reason
behind why they will pick up
any litter, broken glass and
dog faeces they see while
walking throughout the suburb.
“Somebody has got to do it,”
Mrs Murray said.
Every day while walking
their two dogs Abby and
Macey, the couple will clean up
the suburb’s parks and streets,
along with reporting anything
on city council property needing
repairs.
They will now be presented
with a Keep Christchurch
Beautiful Award in recognition
of their hard work at the
Tūranga Library tonight.
Mrs Murray, who is also a
member of the Greater Hornby
Residents’ Association, said
she was “thrilled” to have been
acknowledged.
The couple will often walk to
areas including Oakhampton
Reserve, Trevor Reserve and
the old Branston Intermediate
School site.

Burglaries
spark
safety
meeting
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A SPIKE in burglaries in the
greater Halswell area has prompted
a community safety meeting to
gauge the extent of the problem.
City councillor Anne Galloway
and Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board candidate
Narrinder Singh
Warraich have
organised the
meeting, which will
be held on Saturday
from 10.30-11.30am
at the Harvard
Community Patrol
Lounge.
In June, five
homes in Bibiana
Anne
Galloway
St, Felicitas Grove and Eaglesome
Ave were targeted in a series of
burglaries.
CCTV footage from nearby
properties filmed a tall, European
man wearing a hoodie and a black
mask, roaming the streets during
all five burglaries.
The meeting will be attended by
Greater Christchurch Regeneration
Minister Megan Woods,
Community Constable Li’Ying
Cai and representatives from
Hornby Community Patrol and
Neighbourhood Support will be
present. •Turn to page 4

Potential quarry noise to be discussed
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
Jolene Eagar
NOISE ISSUES raised from
Fulton Hogan’s controversial
application to open a quarry in
Templeton will be discussed by
experts ahead of the upcoming
hearing in November.
Fulton Hogan, Selwyn District
Council and Canterbury District
Health Board noise experts have
initiated a meeting on noise
effect matters relating to the application.
It is a
result of the
hearings
panel commissioners
requesting
all expert
witnesses liaise
amongst
themselves
to on matters relevant to their
specific areas of expertise.
The aim of the meeting is
to clarify outstanding matters
relating to noise effects.
An ECan spokesman said
experts for any parties including
for submitters are able to attend.
The meeting is expected to be
held early or the middle of the
month.
Templeton Residents’ Association
treasurer Jolene Eagar said

the upcoming hearings over its proposed Roydon Quarry.

it feels as if ECan and the district
council is using the Resource
Management Act 1991 to justify
giving Fulton Hogan “every
possible advantage” to mitigate
issues in their application before
the hearing.
She questioned why everyone
was being encouraged by the
councils to share all their information
before the hearing.
“What is the purpose of the
hearing if they try and work
through all the issues up-front?
tree trouble?
call us 384 9630
www.fourseasonstreecare.co.nz
“For me, these things are actually
supposed to come out in the
hearing,” Mrs Eagar said.
Last month the TRA raised
concerns over ECan and the
district council granting Fulton
Hogan’s request to extend the
deadline for the hearing process.
The hearing does not have to
be completed until January 23.
Meanwhile, ECan and the
district council have asked for
further information from Fulton
Hogan on its quarry application
to respond to information raised
by submitters.
These are for Fulton Hogan to:
•Confirm the volume of
groundwater which will be extracted
annually and clarify how
it will be managed.
•Provide an assessment
and to clarify if there are any
measures to reduce the risk
of bird strike, particularly in
relation to the management of
ponds at the quarry. This is due
to the quarry’s close proximity
to Christchurch International
Airport.
•Provide an updated set of
draft conditions for all resource
conditions sought to reflect
mitigation measures provided in
the application.
•To provide more detail on
how Fulton Hogan’s proposed
mobile processing plant will be
used and if mobile crushers will
be used on the site and where
they will be located.
The information is due back
on Friday.

Concerns for
children on
broken glass
•From page 1
“One day we came home with
three cartons of alcohol cans and
bottles left at the old school. It is
things like that, that really disgusts
me,” Mrs Murray said.
Her message to other residents
is to “clean up after yourself.”
“I am not saying I am perfect,
because I am not, but it never
hurts people to pick up rubbish,”
Mrs Murray said.
Her message also goes to dog
owners not picking up their dog’s
faeces in public spaces.
“You are not allowed to leave
it on the ground but some dog
owners don’t care . . . it is a legal
requirement but it is also a moral
obligation,” Mrs Murray said.
She said she gets annoyed with
takeaway restaurants due to the
amount of rubbish she finds.
Her other concerns are children
injuring themselves as a result of
broken glass left on the streets.
“The city council can’t afford
to have the parks cleaned up . . .
it comes back to us unless they
want to put up their rates.”
Last year the association
obtained a litter picker, gloves and
bags from the Keep Christchurch
Beautiful organisation to allow
Mr and Mrs Murray to continue
their efforts.
Call for boarding house changes
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A PUSH to change the city’s
District Plan is being urged to
stop boarding houses
appearing unexpectedly
in residential streets.
The Ilam and Upper
Riccarton Residents’
Association wants the
city council to notify the
public when a resource
consent for a boarding
house is lodged.
It is after the city
council approved a
six-bedroom dwelling
on Lynfield Ave to be converted
into a nine-bedroom boarding
house recently.
It primarily involved the
conversion of a large lounge
area to three new bedrooms

Cr Galloway said the concerns
are primarily coming from
multi-ethnic communities.
She said residents had also

he said.
Mr Singh Warraich said the
goal of the meeting is to hear
residents’ stories and work with

Said Cr Galloway: “I think
the reason why we are hoping to
get a response from the multicultural
community is that they

Mr Reddiford said key issues
are car parking on the street and
the high number of people going
into the boarding house.
He said he went for a drive
around Lynfield Ave on Tuesday
morning and described some of
the student houses as looking
“seedy.”
“I was going ugh this is meant
to be a nice area, some of these
houses are pretty grotty,” Mr
Reddiford said.
City council’s head of resource
consents John Higgins said the
issue of public notification is
relatively new so the need to
change the District Plan has not
been evaluated yet.
“The issue has however been
recently sent through to the
District Plan team for consideration.”
In 2016, the city council
changed the rules so that a
resource consent had to be
required if a house exceeding six
bedrooms was established.
It was after the IURRA successfully
lobbied for the city
council replacement District
Plan to have a definition of what
a boarding house is, to stop loose
“rent a room” arrangements.
The new definition also
meant the city council would
investigate the living conditions
of a house if a complaint is
received.

Library building’s future unclear
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
THE FUTURE of the Hornby
Library building is uncertain
after the new mega-facility is
built on Kyle Park.
The city council is planning
to move the library into the new
Hornby Library, Service Centre
and South West Pool once it
is built, meaning the library
building on Goulding Ave may
be re-purposed, demolished or
sold.
City council head of
recreation, sports and events
Nigel Cox said it currently
intends to dispose
of the superseded
facility, but how
this will be done
is still to be
determined.
The Greater
Hornby
Marc Duff
Residents’
Association
discussed the 40-year-old library
building’s future at its annual
meeting.
Suggestions have been made
for the library building to be
converted into meeting rooms or
a multi-purpose space.
The Hornby Community Care
Centre, which owns half of the
building, is also interested in
UNCERTAIN: The city council is looking at options for the
future us of the Hornby Library building on Goulding Ave.
taking full ownership.
Centre trust chairman Bob
Shearing said in due course it
wants to talk to the city council
about the future use of the
library building.
“We are probably keen to have
some role in managing it. That
said, no formal discussions have
been held as yet,” he said.
Residents’ association
chairman Marc Duff said people
see it as a useful building, which
could be done up and made into
a community facility.
Association member Mark
Peters said it would be a “shame”
to lose the library building as it
is in a central location.
“It would be good to see it used
as a meeting space or something
of that nature to free up some
extra space in the new facility,”
he said.
Mr Peters said there needs to
be some serious conversations
with the centre over whether
it would like to take over the
library building.
The library building’s
future was raised after the city
council released a survey on the
design of the long-awaited megafacility.
It sought the community’s
views on what they would like to
see in the $35.7 million facility
and asked residents to select
their top four options.
Mr Peters told Western News
last week the community would
expect a lot of the options
brought up for the new facility to
be included in it.
Mr Duff said a topic raised
by a lot of residents at the
association’s
meeting was
whether the
planned meeting
room options for
the mega-facility
could be put into
the Goulding Ave
library building. Mark Peters
The other issue
raised was whether
there is a need to put a gym
in the facility when there are
already several gyms in Hornby.
As of last week, the survey had
received about 120 responses.
Consultation on what people
want to see in the mega-facility
closes on Monday.
Upgraded
centre
reopens
THE FENDALTON Library
and Service Centre has
reopened following a five-month
closure for refurbishment and
repairs.
Library users can now
enjoy the upgraded heating
and ventilation
systems.
City council
head of libraries
and information
Carolyn
Robertson said
the library now
has improved
spaces.
Carolyn
Robertson
“The enhanced space better
meets community needs,
providing plenty of room for
social interaction and a wealth
of knowledge and entertainment
resources,” she said. “The library
is a key component of the local
social infrastructure – a true
centre of the neighbourhood.
I know that the library and
service centre’s services and
accessibility are particularly
valued by members of the older
and younger communities.”
All of the usual services
are available at the library,
including postal services.

Student Army
gets back
to work
CANTERBURY University’s
Student Volunteer Army have
been pitching in across the city.
About 100 students and 20
community members worked on
more than 10 projects including
maintenance work at schools and
kindergartens in St Albans.
The volunteering effort was part
of the SVA’s ‘connect the community
project’, which has been
going since 2013.
Said SVA president Sati
Ravichandiren: “This event,
historically has taken place a lot
in the eastern side of town, so this
year in New Brighton, last year in
Linwood, previously we’ve been to
Burwood as well.
“The SVA as a movement just
has a huge legacy there because
of the quakes . . . it’s just about
maintaining that connection and
continuing to connect there, give
back.”
Mr Ravichandiren said students
and community members
benefited from the volunteering
work.
“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.”
New classrooms for schools

Since the February 22, 2011,

school’s roll has grown by about
100 pupils.
“Today we are at 260 but we

rooms from Hornby High

When the school year finishes,
two teaching blocks, including
the old school block, will be
demolished.
When the redevelopment is
completed the school will have
12 classrooms.
The school received a new
block including a library,
reception, meeting rooms, staff

Fundraising was a big
hurdle for Taka-Ardouin, and

With her sights now set on

Wellington in October, the
constant fundraising struggle
adds to the stress of relentless

Apart from her interest
in sport, Taka-Ardouin is a

Fundraising is also under

CFFD has had an active
presence in Christchurch
since 1981, with attendances
between 70 to 80 in earlier
days.
Regular meetings, annual
camps, outings and church
visits give varied experiences
and community involvement
for members.
Thanks to the church and
community support, general
running costs are minor, and
easily covered by member
donations.
An annual grant from
community funding usually
covers the cost of total

meetings.
It is when members wish
to attend the national camp
that extra funds are
needed.
Taka-Ardouin said she was
disappointed to come home
with no medals from Seoul,

She along with the CFFD
residents will continue to
fundraise for the national
camp in October.

Readers respond to the
article about delays to the
Riccarton Rd upgrade
Carolyn Ark – I was very
disappointed to read that the
upgrade to Riccarton Rd had
been delayed. On January 1, my
husband and I took the plunge
and went from a two-car family
to one car, and purchased an
electric vehicle. By making this
change we knew we would be
relying quite heavily on public
transport to get round. Not a
problem I thought . . . until I
discovered Riccarton Rd bus
lounges are closed for many
weeks . . . not a problem in
summer, but waiting in midst of
winter outside is not pleasant.
Situations like this will not
encourage more people to use
public transport in this day
and age of lessening our carbon
footprint.
Wayne Allen – Good. No
need to change anything as
it’s working okay in its present
state. We don’t need anymore
road or street changes. A waste
of money.
Liz Richardson – Poor
retail is feeling it.
Carol Geddes – I feel so
sorry for the business people.
They never stop mucking
around with Riccarton Rd. No
wonder our rates keep going up.
Claire Coxon: You have
already inconvenienced the
people and the businesses so get
on with it and finish the job.
Leonie Rich – Already
chaos, I only go from Deans Ave
to the best side street to get off
Riccarton Rd. It’s a nightmare.
Also the poor shops along there.
Graeme Brown – City
planners always seem to fail on
an epic level in Christchurch.
Anthony Brooks
responds to the Western
News article on the
demolition of the old
Sockburn Service Centre
This time last year we were
told the service centre would
be demolished. I will believe
it when I see it. How much
has it cost ratepayers to fence
the building since the
earthquakes? Maybe the council
should build the new pool there
instead of Kyle Park and save
some money.
WHOLESOME: The Westpac Rescue Helicopter base was one
of the deserving recipients of baking from Villa Maria College
students. ​
Goodies for paramedics
VILLA MARIA College’s
students have been undertaking
acts of kindness in the
community, showing support
and giving thanks to a wide
range of deserving recipients.
One group of students chose
to visit the Westpac Rescue
Helicopter base to deliver homemade
baking for the team to
enjoy.
The students took a variety of
goodies to the base, and were in
turn treated to informative talks
from pilot Andy Shearer, and
intensive care paramedics Corey
Milnes and Shane Lynch.
“As a group, the girls decided
who they would like to show
kindness to, and after some discussion,
they collectively decided
to create a beautiful morning
tea for those who operate our region’s
rescue helicopter service,”
said the school’s head of faculty
for technology Prudence Reveley.
SCHOOLS
She said all the baking was
home-made by the students
and hoped it would provide
a well-deserved treat for the
hard-working men and women
at Canterbury West Coast Air
Rescue base.
Another group of students
delivered bags of goodies and
personal notes to the nurses on
the Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit at Christchurch Hospital
to thank the nurses for the work
they do.
Other examples of kindness in
the community have included a
food donation for the City Mission,
and beautiful handwritten
notes sharing positive messages
left on cars parked at the Bush

ADVERTORIAL
Our home, our village
For Tony and Irienne,
settling into Ryman
Healthcare’s Anthony Wilding
Retirement Village was an
easy decision.
“It made me happy, to
know that if anything were to
happen to one of us, the other
has a place where they are safe
and have social contact,” says
Tony, aged 74.
“I was conscious that we
were living on our own, and
it could be quite isolating,
while here if you take a walk it
takes you a lot longer than you
anticipated because there are
so many people to greet and
talk to,” adds Irienne, 72.
“It’s the peace of mind,
really. It’s having the stress
and worry of being responsible
for a house taken away.”
The couple moved into
their townhouse at the village
in 2015.
“We used to tell our friends
we’ve moved house,” says
Tony “but it just happens to be
in a retirement village!”
“It’s our home, as simple as
that,” says Irienne.
Tony, originally from
England, moved to New
Zealand with his family when
he was seven years old.
His family eventually settled
in Nelson where Irienne’s
family came from. They met
at a local dance when Tony
came home from Canterbury
University, where he studied
Physics and Maths.
“In our days you met at a
local dance,” says Irienne,
“while nowadays you meet on
the internet!”
Irienne, a trained nurse,
moved with Tony to Tokoroa
when he was offered a job.
“It was in the middle of
nowhere, and we used to travel
to Taupo, to go for a hot swim,”
says Irienne.
“We also travelled to
Tauranga because I was
homesick for the sea,”
she adds.
Tony and Irienne with sales advisor, Susie Alayne.
Eventually they moved to
Auckland where their oldest
daughter was born, then a
move down to Wellington,
where their second daughter
was born. Finally, after a
couple of years, they settled
back in Nelson with their
growing family.
“My parents and Irienne’s
family were there, so it made
sense,” says Tony.
They eventually bought a
lifestyle block, and Irienne
managed the farm.
“It was a real
Old MacDonald’s farm,”
laughs Tony.
After many years in
Nelson and retirement, the
couple decided to move to
Christchurch to be near their
daughter and grandchildren.
“Luckily we scraped through
with very little damage,”
adds Irienne.
After a few years, the couple
began looking at retirement
options “half-heartedly”.
“So, we got to the stage
where climbing ladders was
becoming a bit of a problem,”
says Tony.
“With me at the bottom
of the ladder!” adds a
laughing Irienne.
“We decided to downsize,
and really the choice was to
buy a smaller townhouse out
in the real world or go into a
retirement village,” says Tony.
“It’s in your mind a bit, I
guess. Then somebody told us
about Ryman,” says Irienne.
Tony and Irienne belonged
to a walking group and were
introduced to Anthony Wilding
when there was a morning tea
held in the village centre.
The location was perfect for
the couple, as their daughter’s
family is settled nearby.
“We couldn’t be bothered
moving again.”
Anthony Wilding village is
located in Aidaneld, Halswell,
and has fantastic views of the
Port Hills.
The village offers
independent townhouses,
assisted living in a serviced
apartment, resthome, hospital
and dementia care. The
village includes an all-weather
bowling green, indoor heated
swimming pool, spa, internal
atrium, library, gym, hair and
beauty salon, bar and shop.
Sales Advisor, Susie Alayne,
says the village has beautiful
gardens, a strong sense of
community and the setting
is unique.
“We have all the benets
of a big village but we’re
small enough that everyone
still knows everyone else,”
says Susie.
Susie says that the benet
of a townhouse is that it offers
complete independence but
with the bonus of having a
safety net for times when you
might need some help.
And that is what
really clinched it for Tony
and Irienne.
“The xed fees denitely,
and the peace of mind,”
says Irienne.
For now, the couple is still
enjoying being out and about.
“We’re still very active
outside of the village,”
Tony says.
They are part of a biking
group and like to go tramping
so the townhouse living is
perfect for them as they can
just shut the front door and
head out without worrying
about the house.
“We also love the friendships
we’ve made here, the Happy
Hours, the staff, it’s such a
friendly village,” says Irienne.
“It’s got everything we like.
It’s the people in the village
who make this home.”
And the best part of living at
Anthony Wilding?
“Not having to clean our own
windows,” laughs Irienne.

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.
“The boys disagreed with that

Cup last
week.
Middleton Grange ballers
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.”

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.

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.

Chock full of fruits, seeds,

recipe by Joan Bishop is

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.
