A GROUP of former 

Christchurch Girls’ High 

students have been reunited 

by a Colin McCahon painting 50 

years after they donated it to the 

school. 

They met recently at the school 

to reminisce about their younger 

days and the painting which 

has now become a valuable 

collector’s item. 

Some of the group members 

hadn’t seen each other since 

their school days, but were 

laughing and sharing memories 

like no time had passed. 

In 1969, the six young women 

had just finished school and 

wanted to have a good time at a 

ball. 

They founded the Young Old 

Girls’ Association and hosted 

their own debutante ball. 

But they didn’t expect to make 

a profit, let alone enough to buy 

a McCahon painting. 

The painting was presented to 

the school in 1970 by association 

member Jan Hardie at an 

assembly.

Last month’s gas explosion 

in Northwood shocked our 

community. The community 

response, however, in supporting 

affected residents was 

heartwarming. After cancelling 

my appointments, I met with the 

Chair of the Northwood Residents’ 

Association, local councillors and 

emergency staff at the temporary

Mill Country Club, and checked 

in with residents who had come 

down to the centre for assistance. 

Well done to the local community, 

police, insurance representatives, 

council representatives, the

and local businesses for coming 

together for those residents who 

were evacuated. With two people 

still in hospital, our thoughts, as

Paid back for picking up litter 

In Brief 


MARIA LAMB used to worry 

about being known as the “crazy 

lady picking up rubbish” – but 

winning a Keep Christchurch 

Beautiful award has shown her 

she is not alone. 

The awards were held last 

week at the Turanga library. 

Mrs Lamb didn’t even realise 

she had been nominated for 

an individual award until she 

was sifting through her ‘junk’ 

email folder looking for a school 

notice, and stumbled across the 

nomination. 

“[It’s nice to know] you’re not 

the only one doing this, there 

are other people doing their very 

best in their community, but I 

guess we don’t really know about 

each other,” she said. 

Mrs Lamb received the award 

for the work she does in the 

St Albans community. She 

organises exercise groups for 

women in the area and spends 

her time collecting rubbish. 

The exercise group provides a 

safe way for women in St Albans 

to get out and make friends. 

“It took a few months for 

people to get involved, and then 

others started to advertise what 

they were doing, and where 

they were exercising – it sort of 

just kicked off in that way,” Mrs 

Lamb said.

are eager to talk to people they 

catch littering in the streets.

Mrs Lamb said one of the

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

Dr Steve works his magic again… 

“CoCo” is a three year old speyed bunny 

- a very loved and adored pet who 

recently underwent Bilateral Cataract 

Surgery. This surgery was a first for 

Steve who did his research prior to the 

operation. He has operated many times 

on dogs, cats and even a hawk but not 

a rabbit. 

Coco was having real difficulty finding 

her food bowls and manoeuvring 

around outside. She had always 

loved charging around outside with 

the other rabbits. Her cataracts had 

developed fast in approximately 

two months, the right eye more 

mature than the left eye. Cataracts in 

rabbits can be congenital, traumatic, 

metabolic as in diabetes, inflammatory 

secondary to uveitis or infectious, as in 

the case of E Cuniculi. Coco was being 

treated for E Cuniculi, which is a parasite 

ingested and eliminated in the urine. 

This parasite causes inflammation in the 

lens and a capsular cataract can develop, 

leading to uveitis and sometimes 

glaucoma. It is painful and the rabbits 

will often scratch at the eye. 

Coco was referred to Steve and her 

primary vet and nurse came over to 

monitor Coco’s anaesthetic. Rabbits 

on the whole are difficult patients to 

monitor under anaesthetic due to 

their size and eye surgeries are difficult 

anyway because monitoring the 

Open 7 days

head end of the patient is impossible. 

Expertise and experience with rabbit 

anaesthetics is essential when your 

surgery may last one to two hours. Often 

they require you to ventilate for them, 

they must be kept warm, hydrated and 

constant recordings of blood pressure 

need to be recorded. 

Straight away Coco was placed on 

intravenous fluids, had blood taken 

(no kidney or liver compromise was 

seen) and was allowed to snack 

on veggies and hay before her GA. 

Prior to her anaesthetic she was 

supplemented with oxygen to 

increase oxygen concentration in 

the blood. Once anaesthetised she was 

hooked up to a blood pressure monitor 

and pulsoximeter (measuring her oxygen 

saturation in the blood) and positioned 

for cataract surgery. 

The surgery went really well with Steve 

removing the crystalline lenses in both 

eyes. A Cataract is a lens opacity and is 

due to the loss of architecture of the lens 

or capsule fibres. To us the lens appears 

cloudy (the lens is in the middle of the 

eye). The cataract is then sucked out with 

a phacoemulsification machine. This 

machine vibrates, cuts and vacuums the 

cataract out. If all goes well, the visual 

axis is clear and vision is restored. 

So far so good. Steve has frequently 

checked her eyes and Coco can 

visually see well out both her eyes, her 

intraocular pressures are good, she is 

comfortable and happier now her ocular 

world has opened up again. 

I think its brilliant Coco’s owner gave her 

a chance at restored sight. The other 

option would have been removing the 

eyes, as the uveitis and glaucoma could 

have been too painful for her to live with. 

For any questions on cataract 

surgeries please contact Steve 

directly at McMaster & Heap Vet 

Practice. He has just invested in a 

new phacoemulsification machine so 

hopefully will get to test drive it soon.

Painting now a collector’s item 

•From page 1 

Annette Hamblett was a member 

of the association and remembers the 

day the painting was donated. 

“When they went along to the 

assembly, the girls actually laughed, 

because they probably didn’t regard it 

as a proper painting in those days . . . 

we wanted to present something that 

was a bit of a challenge,” she said. 

Throughout the 1950s and early 

60s, many school-leavers went to their 

formal old girls’ association debutante 

ball, but the Young Old Girls’ 

Association had no interest in making 

a ‘debut’. 

And they didn’t want to go to a ball 

with no alcohol and ‘stuffy’ old girls, 

so they took matters into their own 

hands. 

The group organised a venue, 

popular dance band The Chapta, food, 

drink and then advertised the event 

everywhere. 

“When I think about it now, we 

were quite bold, we booked one of 

the biggest venues, the horticultural 

hall, which used to be on the corner 

of Oxford Tce and Gloucester St,” Ms 

Hamblett said. 

Against all odds, they made a profit 

and one of the members, Susan Battye, 

suggested they hold another event and 

use the other half of the profits to gift 

a painting to the school. 

Ms Battye wrote to McCahon, one 

of New Zealand’s most well-known 

painters 

To their surprise, they received a 

very encouraging reply, saying he 

would tell his dealer to give them a 

good deal. 

“And he did. By October 1970, 

we had acquired our McCahon: 

North Otago landscape, number 19, 

painted with synthetic polymer on 

hardboard,” Ms Hamblett said. 

The group members said they were 

pleased to see each other again after 50 

years, and enjoyed seeing the painting 

in all its glory. 

“It will always be a point of 

discussion. It’s not just a placid thing 

on the wall. It’s going to provoke 

discussion about what is art, and how 

can it represent the environment that 

we live in New Zealand,” Ms Battye 

said. 

The CGHS art department now 

teaches students about McCahon and 

his paintings.

School zone 

changes 

not set to 

impact on 

north-west 


CITY-WIDE SCHOOL zone 

changes won’t make much 

difference to pupils and 

students in the north-west. 

Papanui, Mairehau and 

Burnside high schools agree the 

zone changes which take effect 

from January 1. 

Burnside High principal Phil 

Holstein said 

the changes 

are mostly to 

fill the gaps 

which were 

missed out in 

the “puzzle” of 

state secondary 

school zones. 

He was 

pleased schools Phil Holstein 

across the city 

had worked in 

a co-operative 

way to achieve 

the zone 

changes, which 

have been in 

the works for 

seven years. 

Said Papanui 

Jeff Smith 

High principal 

Jeff Smith: “Our community 

has reinforced that they are 

very happy with our current 

zone and it essentially will 

not change apart from a small 

increase on the north east 

boundary, which is currently 

predominantly green space.” 

Mairehau High School never 

had a zone before the city-wide 

zone amendment began, but 

principal Harry Romana said 

the change is positive. 

“We are confident that the 

new Mairehau High School 

zone will provide long-term, 

sustainable and equitable 

learning opportunities for 

the young citizens of our 

community.”

Gold Real Estate Group Ltd. 


Communication methods have changed 

considerably since I first started in the real 

estate industry, and for me these changes 

have driven several observations. 

People don’t communicate as much as they 

once did, and when they do it’s often in 

different mediums. Texting (of course), emailing 

(an essential), Facebooking, Instagramming, 

Snapchatting and Messengering(!), the list is a 

long one and getting longer. 

The first time I ever saw two people sitting 

in a restaurant, supposedly dining together 

but actually spending their entire evening 

interacting with their phones and not each 

other, I remember that I couldn’t actually 

believe it. I discussed it with my (noisy) family, 

sitting as we were at the adjacent table, 

and they were equally bemused – it felt so 

incredibly unusual. Ten years later, it seems the 

norm. Who hasn’t seen a whole table of people 

and, yes, I’ve been a party to this, interacting 

with their phones more than the company 

they are with? And I’m well aware that this 

is happening at family dinner tables too. It’s 

got to be one of the most significant trends 

affecting all of us. 

Instant availability and connectivity are 21st 

Century norms and although it’s possible to 

connect with people anywhere in the world, 

instantaneously, this sometimes comes at 

the expense of interacting with the person 

sitting right next to you. 

Mine is a deeply connective industry, requiring 

strong communication skills which can 

be acquired or learned, though the most 

successful consultants possess these innately. 

Talking the Talk 

You have got to be able to communicate at every 

level, make articulate conversation and possess 

strong intentional listening skills, as well as the 

ability to read non-verbal reactions. If you don’t 

want to talk and you can’t listen, then this is not 

the occupation for you and yet … I find myself 

meeting people wanting a real estate career 

who would prefer to engage at arm’s length. All 

exchanges via email and not in person – their 

primary interactions and engagements are with 

their computer, not their clients. Yes, some clients 

are perfectly happy with this and you can call me 

old-fashioned, but the odds are already stacked 

against you if you only work in this manner. 

Sales require engagement. I do think there’s 

an art to providing a service that takes you from 

being a stranger or acquaintance to a client and 

friend. The development of this relationship in 

real estate occurs due to the success of the job 

that’s been done, but much of that comes back 

to communication. The most frequent complaint 

I hear is, ‘I never heard from my agent’, or not 

enough. There’s a warning in this; my personal 

preference would be for verbal and additional 

communication methods. It’s a deeply primal act 

to talk to each other, it’s what makes us human 

and I’d like to raise the flag and say, keep doing it. 

Talk to someone today, you never know the 

journey it will take you on.

LATER THIS year 18 keen 

leaders from Papanui High 

School will head to Cambodia on 

a service trip. 

The students have been planning 

the trip for two years, after 

setting goals on a leadership 

course run by the Student Volunteer 

Army. 

The students approached 

organisations that run these 

types of service trips, and were 

impressed by Pacific Discoverythe 

only one owned and operated 

in New Zealand. 

The trip will have the students 

doing a range of activities, 

including conversing in English 

with a local high school, building 

a simple home for a family in 

need, running dance classes for 

the physically disabled, music 

classes for children and learning 

about Cambodian social enterprises. 

Ella Stewart is excited about the 

trip. 

“I feel like this trip will definitely 

have an impact on how I 

look at the world and what I 

have. I’m very excited to help the 

people that are affected by the 

LEADERS: The 

18 students 

from Papanui 

High School 

can’t wait for 

their service trip 

to Cambodia 

later this year. 

‘Opportunity of a lifetime’ for 

Papanui High School students 

changes we are looking to make,” 

she said. 

Year 12 dean Paul Anderson 

said he thinks the trip will 

provide the students with an opportunity 

of a lifetime they will 

never forget. 

“It will allow them to extend 

their leadership skills and develop 

new ones. Further to this, 

being in a foreign country will 

allow the students to work on 

communication skills and it will 

benefit both the students and 

the communities they will be 

involved in,” he said. 

Million Metres planting 

day at Jellie Park 


SCORES OF volunteers braved 

the cold last weekend to lend a 

hand to a community project at 

Jellie Park. 

Volunteers spent their morning 

planting native plants along Wairarapa 

stream behind the Jellie 

park pools complex. 

They were responding to the 

call by ‘Million Metres’ for a 

planting day, and the plants came 

from the city council’s nurseries. 

Project lead at Million Metres, 

Georgina Hart is an ex-Cobham 

Intermediate and Burnside High 

School student and was at the 

planting day to help out, and 

explain the importance of the 

stream restoration project. 

Million Metres is a dedicated 

programme for connecting local 

waterway restoration projects 

with large-scale funding and 

resources. 

Its goal is to raise funds to plant 

one million metres of waterways 

with native plants and trees. 

Wairarapa stream has undergone 

significant degradation over 

many years, so the million metres 

project aims to progressively 

restore the stream to its former 

condition. 

This will mean water quality 

will be improved, and the birdlife 

which is dependent on the stream 

will reap the benefits of this work. 

It is hoped that this planting 

day is the beginning of a new of 

life for the stream so it can support 

a rich diversity of life, have 

an abundant food source, and be 

a place of rest and recreation for 

the community. 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board members 

attended the planting day, and 

board member Shirish Paranjape 

said it was ‘wonderful’ to see 

people of all ages go along to give 

a helping hand. 

“The most pleasing sight was to 

see very young children helping 

with full enthusiasm and energy,” 

he said. 

Local schools including Cobham 

Intermediate, Burnside Primary 

School, St Patrick’s School and 

CCEL English Language school 

attended the project alongside 

other community organisations.

Rocking all the way to nationals 


NATALIE Hutton and Minnie 

Robberds have been selected 

for the Smokefreerockquest 

nationals, and they can’t wait to 

be on stage. 

The 18-year-olds will compete 

against two other line-ups in 

the solo/duo category with their 

group There’s A Tuesday Between 

A Monday And Between 

A Wednesday. 

The event will be held on September 

14 in Auckland. 

Natalie is the St Margaret’s 

College co-head of arts and has 

been singing and songwriting 

since she was in primary school. 

Her love for music was 

sparked by a birthday present 

when she was young. 

“It was a terrible blue coloured 

and nylon string guitar which 

is still the best present ever received 

to this day,” she said. 

Minnie is a student at 

Christchurch Girls’ High School 

and her love for music came 

from listening to her parent’s 

music growing up. 

“Artists like Patti Smith and 

Neil Young,” she said. 

The duo entered the Smokefreerockquest 

last year as a 


FIRST-TIME KAPA haka entry 

Ngā Whatumoana may not 

have qualified for the national 

secondary schools competition 

in 2020, but the students made 

their schools proud. 

Ngā Whatumoana was a 

composite group of Papanui and 

Mairehau high school students. 

The group finished seventh at 

the Waitaha Secondary Schools 

Kapahaka Whakataetae at 

Burnside High School recently. 

Ngā Whatumoana was one 

of 12 groups entered in the 

competition. 

The high schools combined 

because it suited the students and 

teachers to perform as one group, 

ROCKERS: Natalie Hutton from St Margaret’s College and Minnie Robberds from Christchurch 

Girls’ High School will head to the Smokefreerockquest finals this week. 

band, but their drummer started 

a full-time job as a butcher, 

and their bass player moved 

to Wanaka, so they decided to 

enter as a duo this year. 

rather than two small ones. 

There is an ideal size for 

kapa haka performances, 

and combining the two schools 

made the performance more 

polished. 

Mairehau High staff member 

Santriana Reihana said everyone 

watching the performance was 

proud of the group. 

“They were focused and 

determined to do their very 

best on the day. All the intense 

months of training paid off as 

they performed their set with 

mana and kaha,” she said. 

Mairehau High’s Phoenix 

Neilson was the male leader 

of the group and said he drew 

inspiration from Te Puea’s 

famous whakatauki (proverb), 

The girls performed recently 

as part of the Christchurch Arts 

Festival in a pre-concert function 

at the Town Hall for Julia 

Deans, Flip Grater and Bella 

which translates to ‘do the work, 

for the benefit of the iwi’. 

It was Mairehau High student 

Matalasi Tulia’s first time 

performing, and she was proud 

of the group. 

“It felt like all the mana 

and hard work that the tutors 

installed in us during the 

preparation allowed us to 

represent our kura [school] with 

the utmost distinction,” she said. 

Said Mairehau High School 

student Zion Wirihana: “It was 

an awesome experience and gives 

me hope that one day in the near 

future, Mairehau can reach the 

pinnacle of success in culture 

and performance, and stand 

with confidence and pride at a 

national level.” 

Kalolo. 

They said they always hoped 

they would get to the rockquest 

final, but they doubted their 

ability. 

“We doubted ourselves 

more and more every time we 

watched another submission 

that popped up on YouTube,” 

said Natalie. 

“New Zealand is full of so 

much talent and we are absolutely 

honoured to have been 

selected,” she said. 

The girls enjoy writing songs 

and love performing together. 

“Performing is one of the best 

feelings, although when you’re 

on stage alongside someone 

else it becomes even more fun,” 

Natalie said. 

Minnie and Natalie hope to 

win the Smokefreerockquest final 

but said they will be pleased 

with however the results turn 

out. 

“Obviously we would be over 

the moon if we were to win! But 

just being selected to attend the 

final itself, we are so grateful 

for,” said Natalie. 

Natalie said the indie duo 

can’t wait to get the results from 

the final, and have no plans of 

going solo anytime soon. 

“We’re all for dancing by 

yourself, but sometimes it’s fun 

to dance with a mate,” she said.

Libraries mark 

160 years with 

exhibition 

WHEN Christchurch residents 

borrowed their first books from 

a library, it was from a single 

room on High St in 1859. 

Now the 160th birthday of 

Christchurch City Libraries 

is being celebrated with the exhibition 

Illuminate: Unearthing 

Treasures from our Collection, 

which opened on Saturday in the 

Southbase Gallery at Tūranga. It 

will run until October 27. 

The exhibition features rare 

books, including An Account 

of a Voyage Around the World, 

by James Cook, published in 

1773; original New Zealand 

artworks; historic maps; vintage 

posters from the 1970s and 

1980s, including some printed 

by record label Flying Nun; and 

a typescript of The Catalogue of 

the Universe by Margaret Mahy. 

Library branches around 

the city will also mark the 

anniversary with displays 

of historic photographs and 

memorabilia. 

City council head of libraries 

Carolyn Robertson said the 

importance of libraries has 

grown hugely over the past 160 

years. 

“It’s amazing to think that 

libraries have been serving local 

people for so long. In those early 

days books were all people could 

borrow, but today’s libraries are 

a source of so much information 

across many different platforms.” 

SCHOOLS 

GREEN THUMBS: Christ’s College teacher David Newton and 

Rangi Ruru student Emma Ffowcs Williams with the plants 

used in the EcoAction programme. 

Students get their 

hands dirty at 

Travis Wetland 

IT WAS a great day to plant 

trees at the Travis Wetland 

recently, as Christ’s College, 

Rangi Ruru and Shirley Boys’ 

High students got their hands 

dirty as part of the EcoAction 

programme. 

About 80 students took part 

in the third lot of plantings 

this year at the wetland in 

Burwood. 

And they made light work of 

the task, planting 420 trees in 

about an hour. 

The programme is run by the 

Eco-Action Nursery trust, and 

the students were involved in 

the whole process. 

The schools were sent kits by 

the EcoAction Trust and the 

students grow the seedlings 

over about a year until they are 

ready to be planted. 

Rangi Ruru student Emma 

Ffowcs Williams is the year 11 

EcoAction co-ordinator said 

there are a lot of exciting parts 

to the project. 

“We know that by returning 

seedlings we have nurtured 

to where the main plant once 

grew, we are giving the new 

plants the very best chance of 

survival,” she said. 

“By growing them ourselves 


we are minimising our 

environmental footprint in the 

process, that’s really important 

to us.” 

Rangi Ruru year 13 student 

and head of sustainability 

Rosetta Brown said the 

students were pleased to be able 

to practice what they preach. 

“So many of us are trying 

our hardest to reduce the effect 

on our environment and to be 

actually doing that, knowing 

we are doing something 

that will be a positive for 

generations to come, is very 

satisfying,” she said. 

Christ’s College teacher 

David Newton led the 

initiative. 

“We want to plant 10,000 

trees in the next 10 years,” he 

said. 

“Doing that using the 

schools as nurseries to grow 

the seedlings is an important 

part of the learning and 

involvement for the students.” 

Rangi Ruru director of 

sustainability Kate Rivers was 

impressed with the energy and 

enthusiasm of students. 

“It’s great to see so many 

young people full of passion for 

this hands-on initiative.”

Your money, your 

home, your choice 

Merivale. 

These days, it’s all too easy to feel as 

though we are just a number when we 

work with the banks. Kim at Mylend 

understands, and wants to make sure 

that her clients are treated as individuals 

with tailored finance packages that suit 

them, their situation and their future. 

Having previously worked with one of 

the major banks, and real estate firms, 

Kim’s background enables her to have full 

knowledge of all transactions to do with 

home lending. 

Mylend’s founder Kim Laurenson has 

longstanding relationships with all the 

banks across Canterbury and she can 

negotiate on your behalf to get the very best 

deal for you – better still, the banks pay 

for this service, it’s free for the customer. 

She does her best to demystify the jargon 

and make the process as simple and 

straightforward as possible. She appreciates 

that as a customer of the banks, you 

have choices, and she believes in finding 

solutions that best match your needs. “It’s 

not a one-size-fits all,” she says. Whether 

it is your first home or you are refinancing, 

Kim knows that “it’s your money, your 

home, and your needs that should be 

considered.” She will help you find out if 

what the bank is offering is right for you, or 

whether something else would work better. 

With over seven years’ experience 

working in this industry, and ably 

supported by Operations Manager 

Georgina Bell, Kim has a thorough 

knowledge of our local banks’ processes 

and options. Buying your first home, 

moving house or simply refinancing to 

take advantage of the current interest 

rates can be complicated. Kim is there to 

ensure arranging finance is as stress-free as 

possible. 

Kim is completely impartial and 

independent and she will talk you through 

your options, and help you make a sensible 

and informed decision. Kim explains that 

with interest rates as low as 3.85%, this is a 

wonderful time to refix your lending and 

use the rates to your advantage. She will 

sit with you and help you to maximise the 

repayments to the bank, so your lending is 

paid off faster. 

With so much experience, the Mylend 

team find most of their clients are 

returning customers or are referred to 

them by word-of-mouth. They trust Kim’s 

advice and know that she and Georgina 

are there to help them navigate lending 

for long-term financial success. Visit

Tasty Bites 

Simple ways to cut back on the calories 

Making a simple swap from 

pastry to a tortilla wrap 

instantly brings down the 

calories. Filled with fresh 

ingredients, these samosas 

and simple chicken curry 

recipes are a great way to 

eat well and lose weight 

Samosas 

Makes 6 

Prep time 10min 

Cooking time 15min 

Ingredients 

2 medium potatoes, peeled and 

diced into 1cm pieces 

75g frozen peas 

Low-calorie cooking spray 

½ onion, diced 

1 garlic clove, crushed 

1 tsp grated root ginger 

Generous pinch of chilli powder 

½ tsp ground coriander 

¼ tsp ground cumin 

¼ tsp ground turmeric 

½ tsp garam masala 

30g spinach 

Juice of ½ lemon 

Sea salt 

3 low-calorie tortilla wraps, cut 

in half 

1 egg, beaten 

Fresh coriander, to serve 

Directions 

Cook the diced potatoes in a 

pan of boiling salted water for 

5min, then drain. Cook the peas 

in boiling salted water and drain. 

Heat the oven to 200 deg C 

(fan 180 deg C) and line a baking 

tray with some greaseproof 

paper or baking paper. 

Spray a pan with some lowcalorie 

cooking spray and place 

over a medium heat. Add the 

onion, garlic and ginger and 

cook for 3-4min until softened 

but not browned, then add the 

spices and cook for another 

minute. Stir in the cooked potato 

and mash it slightly with a fork 

or the back of a spoon before 

adding the uncooked spinach, 

lemon juice and peas. Add a 

pinch of salt and stir. 

Brush the edges of the halved 

wraps with the beaten egg. Fold 

each half into a cone shape and 

seal the edge, leaving the top 

open to add the filling. 

Divide the filling equally 

between the wraps, being careful 

not to overfill them (if you do, 

you will not be able to seal them 

properly). 

Brush the open end of the 

wraps with some more beaten 

egg, leave for 30-40sec, until it 

becomes tacky, then press the 

edges together firmly. ] 

You can use a fork to do this, 

but be careful not to rip the 

wrap. Arrange the samosas on 

the tray. 

Brush each samosa with plenty 

of beaten egg, make sure the 

edges are sealed, then place in 

the oven for 10min, or until they 

are golden brown. 

Remove from the oven and 

serve warm. You can also 

allow to cool, wrap in baking 

parchment and freeze for 

another day. 

Super simple chicken curry 

Serves 4 

Prep time 5min 

Cooking time 30min 

Ingredients 

Low-calorie cooking spray 

1 large onion, sliced 

450g chicken breast (skin and 

visible fat removed), diced 

3 garlic cloves, crushed 

400ml water 

3 Tbsp curry powder 

1 Tbsp ground turmeric 

1 Tbsp tomato puree 

Sea salt and freshly ground black 

pepper 

To serve (optional) 

Samosas (see previous recipe) 

Cooked rice 

Ingredients 

Spray a large frying pan with 

low-calorie cooking spray and 

place over a medium heat. 

Add the onion and cook for 

2min until softened slightly, 

then add the diced chicken to 

the pan and cook for 5min until 

browned. 

Add the garlic to the pan and 

cook for 1min, then add all the 

other ingredients. The water 

should just about cover the 

chicken – you may need a little 

more or less depending on the 

size of your pan. 

Leave to simmer gently for 

20min. 

Turn the heat up and boil the 

curry for another 5min, stirring 

frequently to ensure it doesn’t 

catch on the bottom of the pan, 

this will reduce and thicken the 

sauce slightly. 

Serve the curry with your 

choice of accompaniment. 

Tip: This curry recipe works 

well with lean diced lamb (all 

visible fat removed) too.



AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 

Specialists advise a vehicle 

check before winter sets in 

Winter weather can present a range of tricky driving conditions 

for motorists – from wet, slippery roads and heavy frosts to fog 

and driving rain. That’s why it is important to make sure your 

vehicle is in tip-top shape and ready to deal with these hazards 

before winter really sets in. 

The team at Roses Auto Electrical in Cranford Street recommends 

checking that your lights and windscreen wipers are in working 

order, and to ensure your vehicle will start on cold mornings they 

offer free battery and alternator and starter tests, and free battery 

fitting. 

Their well-equipped workshop includes specialised diagnostic 

equipment designed to find any faults with vehicles’ electronics, air 

bags or ABS braking system, which the qualified and experienced 

auto electrical specialists will repair quickly and efficiently. 

Roses Auto Electrical provides full electrical services for all 

makes and models of European, Japanese and light commercial 

vehicles. Any time a warning light flashes up on the dashboard, 

they advise calling into their workshop to have it checked out. 

Roses Auto Electrical has been in business for more than 20 years, 

and the workshop team are constantly updating their knowledge 

with industry training, as well as having the latest state-of-the-art 

equipment in the workshop. 

The customer comes first for the friendly, professional team at 

Roses Auto Electrical, and motorists having their vehicle serviced 

there can have confidence in its performance and safety, especially 

with the cold weather approaching when driving is often more 

hazardous. 

Roses Auto Electrical is located at 518 Cranford Street, 

Papanui. Phone 352 5090 to book in for service or repairs, 

or visit their website www.roseselectrical.co.nz for more

PAPANUI 

HIGH SCHOOL 

Enrolment Scheme – Update 

As a result of a recent review to look at managing the 

likelihood of overcrowding, the board of Papanui High 

School has adopted an amendment to its current 

enrolment scheme that has been approved by the 

Secretary for Education. 

Under this scheme, students will be enrolled if they 

live within the home zone which predominately 

remains the same, with a minor expansion of the 

zone in the Northern end. 

The enrolment of out-of-zone students is governed 

by the provisions of the Education Act 1989. 

The enrolment scheme, which includes a precise 

description of the home zone, may be viewed at 

the school office, and on the school’s website. 

The enrolment scheme for the Special Programme 

– Kimi ora Unit can also be viewed at the school 

office and on the school’s website.
