Rangi Ruru head of visual arts
Kate Rivers said Georgina is a
wonderful colourist who has a
love of expressive style.
“Georgina’s work shows a gestural
approach with her oil paint
applied confidently through the
use of expressive mark and rich
colour,” she said.
Mrs Wynands said she hopes
the competition will continue to
grow and reach more students
in the years to come.
“It is such a thrill to see the
students excited about their
work, their parents proud to
see their son or daughter’s work
in a gallery and the teachers’
enthusiasm and support of their
students,” she said.
The art will be available to
view until Friday.
Support for surf
life saving club
• By Jess Gibson
THERE HAS been a wave of
support for the rebuild of the
Taylors Mistake Surf Life Saving
Club.
The city council received 72
submissions on a proposal to
lease the current site to the club
during a month-long consultation
period from July 30.
The lease would enable them
to build a new $3m pavilion following
the demolition of the old,
earthquake-damaged clubrooms.
Sixty-six submissions were in
clear support of the proposed
lease and licence, three provided
feedback and suggestions and
three were opposed.
Reasons for opposition included
size of the proposed building,
access limitations and concerns
over its location.
All concerns were investigated
and responded to by city council
staff.
The Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board is set to
decide whether to grant the lease
at a meeting today.
Resource consent has been
approved for the designs at the
site, which means if the club is
not granted the licence it will
need to go back through the
resource consent process and
potentially alter the designs.
