Honour for 

Westmorland 

woman 

• By Matt Slaughter 

KATHLEEN BURFORD had a 

concern 20 years ago. 

There were not many initiatives 

set up to help migrant and 

refugee women arriving in 

Christchurch make connections 

and friendships. 

The 74-year-old Westmorland 

resident decided to bring these 

women together the best way she 

knew how- by teaching them to 

make quilts. 

Mrs Burford has been recognised 

with a Queen’s Service 

Medal as part of the New Year 

Honours for her service to 

Christchurch’s migrant community. 

Said Mrs Burford: “Quilting’s a 

great medium for friendship and 

self-esteem and it doesn’t really 

need a language. People can sit 

and stitch and they can be taught 

by being shown what to do.” 

She said the group meets every 

Monday during school terms 

at the Sydenham Community 

Centre and about 300 women 

from 50 different countries 

have taken part in it since it was 

established.

The first part of the redevelopment 

involved a new building linking and 

expanding the junior block; a new 

administration block; the transformation 

of the former office into a dedicated 

high-technology hub for Yr 7 and 8 

students; and construction of a new 

combined library and flexible learning 

space. 

This year the redevelopment continues 

– and will be completed – with the 

refurbishment of existing buildings, 

including two long brick ‘Canterbury

the school opened.

community,’’ she said. 

A lot of effort had gone into minimising 

disruption to teaching, learning and the 

neighbouring community during the 

project, and everyone’s patience was 

greatly appreciated, Mrs Trotter said. 

The Ministry of Education funded the 

‘building’ part of the redevelopment 

but a lot of costs, such as playgrounds, 

landscaping, furniture, curtains and new 

technology items, would be paid for 

by the school’s Board of Trustees and 

the Parent Teacher Association, Mrs 

Trotter said. This community input to the 

school’s future was valued, she said. 

The redevelopment is scheduled to 

finish before the end of 2020.

confusion 


A POST on Cashmere Residents’ 

Association resilience Facebook 

page has been called out as being 

not a true reflection of what the 

group stands for. 

The post made under the residents’ 

association’s name on January 

3 has been called a “rant” by 

Facebook commenters who have 

raised concerns about the state of 

the association. 

The post is critical of why 

“one of (supposedly) the best resourced 

suburbs in Christchurch 

(Cashmere) should fail to run 

a residents’ group, let alone an 

obviously important and desirable 

preparedness/ resilience program 

around that basic organisation.” 

But Helen 

Tait, who is a 

member of a 

group set up 

to try and reestablish 

the 

association, 

which has 

not been 

active since 

February last 

year, said the 

Helen Tait 

post was made by the association’s 

ex-president Rik Tindall, who was 

expelled from his role in 2018.

Recognition for helping migrants through quilting 

• From page 1 

Mrs Burford said the group’s 

current members lost three 

husbands and a son in the March 

15 terrorist attacks. 

Quilting has brought the community 

closer, she said. 

Members have gained “Selfesteem 

and confidence” and 

“language, they learn English,” 

said Mrs Burford. 

“They make friendships that 

they would never make otherwise 

with other cultures.” 

Said Mrs Burford: “I think I’ve 

been given a sense of identity, 

quilting has given me a sense of 

identity.” 


CALLS HAVE been made to 

increase safety measures along 

the Beckenham Loop to better 

protect school pupils and other 

pedestrians. 

The Beckenham Neighbourhood 

Association met at the end 

of last year to discuss possible 

measures to make the loop, 

where the speed limit is 50km/h, 

safer. The association’s chairman 

Greg Millar said suggested solutions 

included narrowing some 

streets within it, creating more 

pedestrian crossings or safer 

crossing points and improving 

For those struggling to settle in 

after they move to New Zealand, 

Mrs Burford said: “I’ve learnt to 

hug and I’ve learnt to kiss three 

times.” 

She said being recognised with 

a Queen’s Service Medal was a lot 

to take in. 

“I was overwhelmed to think 

that it was worth that probably. 

It was good and I’ve kind of been 

overwhelmed by all of the congratulations, 

that’s been amazing. 

But, also I know that without all 

of my helpers and without all of 

my women this wouldn’t happen.” 

Mrs Burford said she also 

couldn’t have done what she had 

without the support of her husband 

David Burford and children 

Sharron, Paul and Nathan. 

TOGETHERNESS: 

Kathleen Burford’s 

quilting classes 

have been attended 

by about 300 

migrant and refugee 

women in the 20 

years they have 

been running. 

She said the group received 

funding support from the Rata 

Foundation and had previously 

done so from rotary. 

Pupil safety a priority along Beckenham Loop 

visibility for pedestrians using it. 

Said city council transport 

operations manager Steffan 

Thomas: “Council staff have 

received concerns regarding vehicles 

speeding in this area from 

local residents. 

“Within the last year there 

have been two complaints in 

regards to vehicles speeding on 

Malcolm Ave.” 

Mr Thomas said “There are 

currently no plans for pedestrian 

improvements in this area, 

although these will be reconsidered 

(with input from the Spreydon-Cashmere 

Community 

Board) in the development of the 

future year safety improvement 

programme.” 

Mr Millar said a number of 

pupils from Beckenham and Thorrington 

schools used the loop during 

term time and it is important 

their journey to and from school is 

made as safe as possible. 

In terms of busy intersections 

within the loop: “There’s quite a 

few of them, really. Right down 

the middle of Beckenham, there’s 

Norwood St and Birdwood Ave. 

There are also areas like Tennyson 

St, they’ve sort of had ongoing 

concerns there with safety of 

kids crossing living on the north 

side of Tennyson St and coming 

across to get to school in the 

morning, it’s quite a busy street 

and there’s not great visibility 

due to lots of on-street parking 

and bike lanes. 

“From time to time you see on 

our Facebook page stories about 

issues with pedestrian safety and 

busy roads and things, so it’s just 

sort something we’ve identified 

as a potential area for improvement,” 

said Mr Millar. 

Mr Millar said the association 

will gather feedback from 

residents on any concerns they 

have about pedestrian safety 

within the loop and their ideas 

for measures to make it safer. 

In Brief 

SEWER IMPROVEMENTS 

The renewal of the sewer mains 

and laterals along Inglis St, 

Phillipstown is set to begin this 

month and should take about 

five weeks. The existing sewers 

are reaching the end of their 

lifespans.

Social media stoush 

• From page 1 

Ms Tait said Mr 

Tindall’s post does not 

reflect the views of the 

Cashmere Residents’ 

Association, which is 

an incorporated society 

currently in recess, 

while she and two 

others consider the feasibility 

Rik Tindall 

said: “There was no 

provision at that 

time in the association’s 

constitution 

specifically for how 

membership would be 

terminated. They used 

the general provision 

to act in what they saw 

as the best interests of 

of starting it up again. 

Said Ms Tait: “No former 

office holders of the association 

or indeed, any other members 

of the association have any 

authority to speak on behalf 

of the association or post 

anything in the name of the association 

on the Facebook page 

or take the name of the association 

for any other reason.” 

But Mr Tindall said the Facebook 

page’s description makes 

clear that it is no longer active 

and its content is simply a vestige 

of the sentiment within the 

Cashmere community. 

He also said the process to 

expel him as president was 

not carried out correctly as 

this happened at a residential 

address rather than councilowned 

premises, so he feels he 

still has a right to post on the 

page in a way to help rebuild 

the association. 

Ms Tait was not involved 

in the decision to expel Mr 

Tindall as president but she 

the association at that time and 

made that decision.” 

Mr Tindall said he is open to 

meeting with those interested 

in re-activating the association 

so it can serve Cashmere once 

again. 

Ms Tait said posts like this 

could confuse people and suggest 

the association is unstable. 

People’s comments in response 

to the post demonstrate 

this confusion. 

Said one person: “Totally 

looks like a rant to me and 

makes very little sense? If the 

person writing this is involved 

in running the group it may 

not be surprising that folks do 

not want to be involved. Just a 

thought.” 

Another person said: “Didn’t 

really understand a word of 

that - is this not the official 

residents’ association page 

anymore? Because if it’s not, it 

probably shouldn’t have those 

words in the page name as it’s 

rather misleading.” 

Lyn McKinnon responds 

to the December 17 

article on a father’s calls 

for a safer cycle route 

between Westmorland and 

Cashmere High School. 

It is certainly a very busy and 

potentially really disastrous 

route to take, whether you are 

a student en route to Cashmere 

High, as you have described, or a 

pensioner like me. 

I have a husband in hospital 

care at Cashmere View and 

bought an electric bike so that for 

my daily visits from Westmorland 

I would not need my car. 

But on very busy days (all day 

Saturday and Sunday) and at 

peak times during the week I feel 

quite vulnerable, and sometimes 

resort to dismounting and waiting 

on the footpath to cross the 

road when there is eventually a 

break in the traffic. 

I can see that the Cracroft area 

will be a problem for planners 

of cycle tracks, as the bridge 

over the river would probably 

need major reconstruction. But 

I believe the high-density cycle 

usage, both by Cashmere High 

students and hundreds, possibly 

thousands of recreational or 

competitive cyclists seven days of 

the week, should make this part 

of the city’s cycling network a 

priority for planners. 

A long-term plan, possibly not 

programmed for another seven 

to eight years, is just not good 

enough. I feel annoyed that I 

will probably be pushing up the 

daisies before a sensible solution 

is implemented. I just hope that 

I am not in that position as a 

result of a fatal encounter on this 

stretch of road. 

Cornelis Tabak responds 

to the December 10 article 

on the measures being taken 

to make the Hoon Hay, 

Worsleys and Cashmere 

Rds intersection and Dyers 

Pass and Hackthorne Rds 

intersection safer. 

There seems to be a very small 

vocal minority who want traffic 

lights here. 

This minority obviously has 

a problem with negotiating this 

and many other intersections and 

they want traffic lights everywhere. 

They give their driving ability 

away by mentioning having problems 

making right-hand turns. 

It is not a busy intersection and 

roading improvements would 

help. 

Parking on the very narrow 

Cashmere Rd very near this 

intersection is stupid. I could 

almost write a book about this 

intersection. 

My rates have almost 

doubled in the six years I 

have lived on Hoon Hay Rd. 

Another $2.5 million for people 

who can’t drive certainly has me 

started. 

The other intersection of Dyers 

and Hackthorne Rds is trickier to 

negotiate so great care is needed 

there, like everywhere with all 

driving.

Volunteers transform wetlands 

IN 20 YEARS, an industrial 

plot of land in Ferrymead 

has been transformed into a 

reserve teeming with native 

bush and wildlife. 

Charlesworth Reserve and 

Wetland is one of the projects 

spearheaded by the Avon- 

Heathcote Estuary Ihutai 

Trust. 

Trust chairman Kit Doudney 

said the group has come a 

long way since forming almost 

two decades ago. 

“Charlesworth Reserve is 

a great example of how an 

entire landscape has been 

transformed and returned to 

its natural state,” he said. 

“The trust and its volunteers 

have put so much work and 

effort into maintaining and 

enhancing the land. By planting 

native bush and trees we 

have seen birdlife return and 

thrive in that area.” 

The trust was formed in

Ihutai also works strategically

Oaklands School 

Oaklands School in Halswell is being 

transformed, with three new purpose 

built blocks and the refurbishment of 

remaining buildings. 

Last year the redevelopment of the 

school began as part of the Canterburywide 

school building programme 

following the earthquakes. 

The first part of the redevelopment 

involved a new building linking and 

expanding the junior block; a new 

administration block; the transformation 

of the former office into a dedicated 

high-technology hub for Yr 7 and 8 

students; and construction of a new 

combined library and flexible learning 

space. 

This year the redevelopment continues 

– and will be completed – with the 

refurbishment of existing buildings, 

including two long brick ‘Canterbury 

blocks’ that were built in the 1960s when 

the school opened. 

Principal Margaret Trotter says they are 

now more than half way through the 

Welcome to new students for the 2020 school year. 

Our staff are looking forward to meeting you and 

we anticipate yet another ‘Brilliant’ year at Breens 

Intermediate School. 

Welcome back to our Year 8 students. Hopefully you 

have all had a good holiday and are excited about your 

learning for this year. 

2020 school year commences: 

Year 8 students – Thursday 30th January at 8.50am 

All students – Friday 31st February at 8.50am 

On Friday 31st January – Year 7 & the new Year 8 students 

are to assemble at the front of the school. We will have staff 

& students there to show you where to go. 

At 9am there will be a Mihi Whakatau to welcome new 

students to Breens. Parents & Whanau are invited to join us 

for the welcome to our Breens school community. 

The Breens school office will re-open on 

Tuesday 28th January, 2020. 

redevelopment and the school campus 

is already looking and feeling different. 

“It is exciting to see the changes that 

have happened already and for students 

to be occupying the new buildings. It 

is also wonderful to anticipate how the 

improved facilities will cater for current 

and future generations of students in our 

community,’’ she said. 

A lot of effort had gone into minimising 

disruption to teaching, learning and the 

neighbouring community during the 

project, and everyone’s patience was 

greatly appreciated, Mrs Trotter said. 

The Ministry of Education funded the 

‘building’ part of the redevelopment 

but a lot of costs, such as playgrounds, 

landscaping, furniture, curtains and new 

technology items, would be paid for 

by the school’s Board of Trustees and 

the Parent Teacher Association, Mrs 

Trotter said. This community input to the 

school’s future was valued, she said. 

The redevelopment is scheduled to 

finish before the end of 2020.

Papanui High School - 

Preparing students 

for their future 

Giving students the opportunity to study 

from an innovative and broad curriculum 

is critical to providing each student a 

pathway that meets their individual 

needs. We allow for a greater range and 

flexibility in subject choice including 

the utilization of the secondary/ 

tertiary interface. This reinforces 

the philosophy underpinning 

personalised learning and 

is strongly supported 

by understanding our 

students’ interests, 

passions, talents, and 

ultimately their career 

aspirations. 

We understand that 

for effective learning 

to take place, it has to 

be implemented in such 

a way that students will be 

highly engaged. The school 

does this in a ‘forward thinking’ way by 

creating learning environments that 

allow our students to see value in what 

they do and achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” is 

what we represent and we demonstrate 

this by having young adults leave our 

school as confident learners who have 

gained the appropriate qualifications 

and social skills to become valued 

contributing members of society. 

All that we do here is reinforced by 

positive relationships, an ethos of caring, 

cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and 

high expectations – what we call “Our 

Full service Model”. The school highly 

values the connectedness 

of curricular and cocurricular 

learning. We 

have a philosophical 

understanding that the 

holistic development 

of the student 

is critical to their 

individual success. 

The school has worked 

hard to consolidate recent 

initiatives to ensure sustained 

and continuous improvement. You 

are invited to view our website, school 

charter, ERO report, and/or contact the 

school for more information. 

We look forward to welcoming all 

prospective students and their families/ 

whānau.

Hornby High School community, and a 

special welcome to those of you who 

are new to our community. 

We begin 2020 eager to set our new 

‘normal’ as we begin our first full year in 

our wonderful new buildings. The impact 

of those buildings on our young people 

and staff alike has been enormous. Our 

experience through the end of 2019 

was that learning was calm, settled, 

and focused. One visitor to our kura in 

late 2019 described the ‘vibe’ as very 

much like that feeling you get when you 

arrive home after a hard day at work: a 

place where you can just ‘be’, a place 

where you can settle to what you need 

to do with purpose and clarity. What a 

New school coming 

Plans for a new Marian College at 

Papanui in 2023 are advancing, with a 

concept design expected in coming 

months. 

Marian College Principal Mary-Lou 

Davidson says students, staff and the 

school community have helped provide 

feedback and ideas, which has informed 

design. “Our new school and grounds 

will reflect and celebrate our Catholic 

special character, cultural narrative, 

values, heritage and story. 

wonderful description from a visitor, and 

a description that equally matches our 

own experiences. 

We also begin the year with some 

exciting changes to our junior curriculum 

as we make learning more connected to 

the real world, more connected across 

subject areas, and with a new pastoral 

system that will evolve over the next five 

years giving even greater support to our 

learners. 

Coming on the back of continually 

improving achievement results across 

the school, these are exciting times.

Villa Maria College is a state integrated 

Catholic secondary school for girls in 

Years 7 – 13. The College was opened 

by the Sisters of Mercy in 1918 and has

Mercy is the very heart of our College, 

and there is an emphasis on service 

to others and the community. Girls are 

educated in Catholic teachings, and this 

Catholic character is evident throughout 

the College. 

Our Mission is to: “Empower each young 

woman to determine her potential, live

learning and as a Mercy woman be 

inspired to make a difference”.

results. Girls are encouraged to stretch 

themselves and work towards individual 

goals, so they fulfil their potential.

combined with varied co-curricular 

activities, encompassing sport, cultural 

and musical programmes.

Shirley Intermediate School continues 

to strengthen community links, recently 

hosting the White Ribbon “Positive 

Family Relationships”. With a major 

building and grounds development 

commencing in a few months, and the 

implementation of their communitybased 

curriculum, positive change 

continues. In addition to two new 

teachers joining the SIS team, the 

appointment of the wonderfully skilled 

Tamara Drew as a full-time Learning 

Support Coordinator will see greater 

capacity for assisting children with 

learning needs - including the children 

at the higher achievement levels. The 

Shirley District Music School continues 

to offer affordable music tuition for 

children at SIS and the nearest schools. 

The bilingual class – Te Tahu Rua Reo

SENIOR LIVING 

Six exercises to help Sciatica 

Reclining pigeon pose 

Pigeon pose is a common yoga pose. It works to open the 

hips. There are multiple versions of this stretch. The first 

is a starting version known as the reclining pigeon pose. 

If you are just starting your treatment, you should try the 

reclining pose first. 

1. While on your back, bring your right leg up to a right 

angle. Clasp both hands behind the thigh, locking your 

fingers. 

2. Lift your left leg and place your right ankle on top of the 

left knee. 

3. Hold the position for a moment. This helps stretch 

the tiny piriformis muscle, which sometimes becomes 

inflamed and presses against the sciatic nerve, causing 

pain. 

4. Do the same exercise with the other leg. Once you can 

do the reclining version without pain, work with your 

health care professional on sitting and forward versions 

of pigeon pose. 

sitting pigeon pose 

1. Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out straight in 

front of you. 

2. Bend your right leg, putting your right ankle on top of 

the left knee. 

3. Lean forward and allow your upper body to reach 

toward your thigh. 

4. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds. This stretches the glutes and 

lower back. 

5. Repeat on the other side. 

FoRwaRd pigeon pose 

1. Kneel on the floor on all fours. 

2. Pick up your right leg and move it forward on the 

ground in front of your body. Your lower leg should be 

on the ground, horizontal to the body. Your right foot 

should be in front of your right knee while your right 

knee stays to the right. 

3. Stretch the left leg out all the way behind you on the 

floor, with the top of the foot on the ground and toes 

pointing back. 

4. Shift your body weight gradually from your arms to 

your legs so that your legs are supporting your weight. 

Sit up straight with your hands on either side of your 

legs. 

5. Take a deep breath. While exhaling, lean your upper 

body forward over your front leg. Support your weight 

with your arms as much as possible. 

6. Repeat on the other side. 

Knee to opposite shouldeR 

This simple stretch helps relieve sciatica pain by loosening 

your gluteal and piriformis muscles, which can become 

inflamed and press against the sciatic nerve. 

1. Lie on your back with your legs extended and your feet 

flexed upward. 

2. Bend your right leg and clasp your hands around the 

knee. 

3. Gently pull your right leg across your body toward your 

left shoulder. Hold it there for 30 seconds. Remember to 

pull your knee only as far as it will comfortably go. You 

should feel a relieving stretch in your muscle, not pain. 

4. Push your knee so your leg returns to its starting 

position. 

5. Repeat for a total of three reps, and then switch legs. 

sitting spinal stRetch 

Sciatica pain is triggered when vertebrae in the spine 

compress. This stretch helps create space in the spine to 

relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. 

1. Sit on the ground with your legs extended straight out 

with your feet flexed upward. 

2. Bend your right knee and place your foot flat on the 

floor on the outside of your opposite knee. 

3. Place your left elbow on the outside of your right knee 

to help you gently turn your body toward the right. 

4. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat three times, then switch 

sides. 

standing hamstRing stRetch 

This stretch can help ease pain and tightness in the 

hamstring caused by sciatica. 

1. Place your right foot on an elevated surface at or below 

your hip level. This could be a chair, ottoman, or step 

on a staircase. Flex your foot so your toes and leg are 

straight. If your knee tends to hyperextend, keep a slight 

bend in it. 

2. Bend your body forward slightly toward your foot. The 

further you go, the deeper the stretch. Do not push so 

far that you feel pain. 

3. Release the hip of your raised leg downward as opposed 

to lifting it up. If you need help easing your hip down, 

loop a yoga strap or long exercise band over your right 

thigh and under your left foot. 

4. Hold for at least 30 seconds, and then repeat on the 

other side. 

exeRcise with caRe 

Be cautious and work with the flexibility of your body. If 

you attend a class or watch YouTube videos, those people 

have been practicing for a while. Don’t compare yourself 

or push yourself. Flow with your body and if you have 

kind of pain, you should stop. You can try again at another 

time.

REAL ESTATE 

Gracious and 

Spacious Family Living 

29 Menzies Street, Sumner | Price by negotiation 

5 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 3 living rooms | 1 kitchen/dining 

2 car-garage | Listing no. OPA24843 

Capture the unique village lifestyle of Sumner from this 

superbly modernised residence which occupies a prime 

position just a few blocks from the beach. 

Pairing the character and charm of its era with tasteful 

upgrades, this property has undergone progressive 

renovations over the past twenty-five years to achieve a 

finish that is classic yet contemporary. Restful neutral tones 

blend with the warmth of beautiful timber joinery and 

floors, adding warmth and style. 

Entertainers will adore the effortless interaction between 

the dining area, kitchen and outdoors, and it’s easy to 

envisage barbecues and long evenings spent savouring the 

last of the sun on the exceptionally private patio. 

Two lounges, the sizeable dining space and the presence 

of a music room offer multiple spaces for families to spread 

out and relax with complete ease. 

Upstairs, four generous bedrooms enjoy plentiful 

sunshine and are supported by the ensuite and the 

spacious family bathroom while a fifth bedroom and third 

bathroom are conveniently located on the ground floor. 

Immaculately landscaped and exuding European style, 

the easy-care section includes 

mature plantings and lawns 

that complement the expansive 

sheltered patio. With access off 

Dryden Street, vehicle storage 

is taken care of by the internal 

access double garage. 

In this superb position on the 

Sumner flat, an idyllic beach 

lifestyle is at your fingertips. 

With the beach only a stone’s 

throw away, an early morning 

surf or evening walk on the Esplanade is yours to enjoy. 

Wander down to the village for a browse through the 

boutique shops or grab a meal in one of the many quality 

cafes and eateries. Families will also note the local Sumner 

School is just a short stroll away. 

Contact Rod Cross of Ray White Ferrymead 

on 021 763 763 or the office (03) 3844 179 to 

arrange a private viewing.

Proposed Changes to 

Cashmere High School Zone 

Over recent years increasing in-zone student 

enrolments at Cashmere High School has meant 

our school is now at capacity. The Board of 

Trustees are seeking to manage this student roll 

growth by amending to our school zone with an 

aim to reduce our school roll. 

All information on the proposed zone changes is 

available on our school website (www.cashmere. 

school.nz) under ‘Latest News’. 

The Cashmere High School Board of Trustees 

are seeking community consultation on the 

proposed school zone changes before a final 

decision can be made. 

A public meeting will be held at 6pm on 

Thursday 30th January 2020 in the Cashmere 

High School Performing Arts Centre. 

Please either email submissions to: 

bah@cashmere.school.nz or post to Cashmere 

High School, 172 Rose Street, Christchurch 8024. 

The closing date for this consultation process 

is Monday 10th February 2020.
