WHEN CLIVE Chandler
arrived for his first day
at Burnside High School,
othing more than two lonely
H-shaped buildings stood on a
large block of farmland.
As the school was started in
a staggered approach with initially
only third-formers, there
were just over 200 students
and Mr Chandler, now 74 and
living in Cashmere, “did not
know what to expect.”
Sixty years on, the school has
skyrocketed to a role of more
than 2000 earning it the title
of the largest school in New
Zealand outside of Auckland.
Next month a reunion will
be held to celebrate 60 years
since the school opened, with
Mr Chandler playing a key role
in organising the event.
Attendees invited to celebrate
the milestone will be first-day
students who were at the
school when it opened on
February 2.

Mixed views
on plan
to lower
Riccarton Rd
speed limit
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
PLANS TO lower the speed limit
on Riccarton Rd has sparked
mixed feedback.
The city council wants to introduce
a 30km/h limit between
Matipo St and Straven Rd.
As part of a package deal, it
is also proposing to introduce a
40km/h speed limit on the side
streets between Riccarton Rd and
Riccarton Bush – including Rata
St, Rimu St, Titoki and Kauri St.
The Riccarton Bush-Kilmarnock
Residents Association is
calling for as much feedback as
possible from Riccarton residents
so it can make a submission on
its behalf. It has complied a 3min
survey to get an indication from
residents on what their views are
on the proposal.
City council operations manager
Steffan Thomas said the
proposal is a response to concerns
raised by residents about drivers
who short-cut at speed through
these streets.
Association chairman Tony
Simons said early indications
from residents have been people
like the idea of reducing the speed
limit on Riccarton Rd – but the
side streets should be reduced the
same amount. •Turn to page 6

70 years of friendship – and counting
• By Sophie Cornish
AS THE saying goes, it takes
a long time to grow an old
friend.
And for this group of ladies,
it’s been a long time – close to 70
years in fact.
As 14-year-olds, the group
of women met when they were
placed in the same class at
Avonside Girls’ High School in
1950 and have reunited every
year since.
For three, Rosemary Harper,
Valerie Percy and Eleanor
Gillespie, all now in their 80s,
their friendship dates back to
when they were five-years-old,
after meeting at Opawa School
in 1941.
“We had some breaks in
meeting to be young wives and
mothers. We are all either 83 or
84 now, but were only 14 when
these special friendships were
made. We meet each two to
three months and stay in touch.
We are still the same women,”
Mrs Gillespie said.
Mostly the group meet at each
others homes for afternoon tea
and each bring a plate of food to
share.
This way they can laugh and
make as much noise as they like,
Mrs Gillespie said.
Three of the group have
passed away, including most
recently, Fay Rabone-Powell, in
December.
“It was a month to the day
that we met (this month). She
badly wanted to come too, she
knew all about it. But she had
been in and out of hospital,
sick. We use to go to Fay’s quite
a bit, she had a big home,” Mrs
Gillespie said.
The group were in a small class
of 21 at Avonside, where most
had 30 pupils, something they
believe may have contributed to
their close friendships.
“I don’t know what the secret
is; it is very special, especially for
the women who are widowed.
I just want to tell any young
people, it’s difficult when
you have young children but
suddenly it becomes very
special. Your school friends,
you have to make a point of
staying in touch,” Mrs Gillespie
said.
Between them, they have 26
children, 54 grandchildren and
10 great-grandchildren, with
another on the way.
FRIENDSHIP: A group of friends who met
at Avonside Girls’ High School in 1950
have come together to meet every year
since. Their class was form 3CB (above).

“We have been quite
productive haven’t we,” Mrs
Gillespie said.
The women were placed
in a commercial course after
school and most ended up as
secretaries, in banks, law firms
or offices, some even ended
up working for the same
companies.

Burnside HS celebrates 60 years
• From page 1
Mr Chandler said while there
is planned to be between 35-40
students to mark the milestone,
there are still many students he is
trying to track down.
He is asking for any former
student at the school on its opening
day to contact him.
The two-day event will include
poetry, a speech from former
principal John Godfrey on the
school’s past successes, lunch and
dinner and tours of the school.
Mr Chandler is hoping his former
fellow classmates will be able
to catch up, renew their friendships
and stay in touch, especially
if they live in the city.
The school was first formed
on farmland which was named
Burnside by early pioneer William
Boag, who came to New
Zealand in 1853.
The cabbage trees located on
the school’s grounds – which are
part of the school’s logo – were
used by Maori and European settlers
to guide themselves across
the swamps of Christchurch to
the Canterbury Plains.
Mr Chandler described the
school as having “all changed”
since he began. There was no
school hall, no gymnasium and
no swimming pool.
The school has also established
a reputation for having a strong
performance music programme
HISTORIC: Burnside High School the day it opened on
February 2, 1960. ​
over the last 60 years with talented
alumni including singers Hayley
Westenra and Julia Deans.
But Mr Chandler said right
from the beginning, Burnside
had a big emphasis on music,
which was encouraged by the
school’s first principal Jim Cross.
He described Mr Cross, who
was formerly the deputy principal
at Riccarton High School, as
setting a “very high standard.”
“He was strict on discipline,
high standards, courtesy and
kindness to everybody. He was
supported by all the staff. I have
met a few of them since and they
all recollect their time at Burnside
as one of the happy times in their
e-bikes & scooters

teaching,” Mr Chandler said.
He said the school has always
been big on language and it
received requests from other
schools for students to come
and learn German – which was
an uncommon language to be
taught at the time.
Other notable people to have
studied at Burnside are former
Prime Minister John Key, former
Air New Zealand chief executive
Rob Fyfe and author Eleanor
Catton.
Since leaving Burnside, Mr
Chandler has led an exciting
career travelling the world and
working as a baker.
When he left school he completed
a baking apprenticeship
and worked in the family business
Chandler’s Bakery for three
years before moving to Canada to
work in 1967.
He then travelled throughout
the United States and worked in
Fort Lauderdale in late 1969 where
“racism was rife” and “was one hell
of an eye-opener.”
Mr Chandler continued to travel
on to the United Kingdom before
returning to New Zealand in 1970
where he worked and eventually
ran Chandler’s Bakery until it was
sold in the early 2000s.
The business, formerly located
at the now Christchurch Bus
Exchange, was demolished as a
result of the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
Mr Chandler now leads a busy

life working as a supervisory
baker and trainer of new staff at
Fendalton New World – and has
no plans to retire.
He said Burnside taught him
good public speaking skills, the
ability to think for himself and to
look at the big picture.
He said what he appreciated
most was the fellowship and
friendship at the school.
“Don’t be blinkered on your outlook
of life,” Mr Chandler said.

Proposal for faster
speed on side streets
surprises residents
•From page 1
“You shouldn’t be allowed
to go faster on the side streets
. . . other suggestions were Riccarton
Rd and the side streets
should be 40km/h.”
Dumplings
on Riccarton
owner Peter
Wah, who will
be making a
submission on
the proposal,
Peter Wah
questioned
why the speed
limit needed to be lowered when
there will be no where for vehicles
to stop on the street.
“It is only going to cause more
congestion.”
He has previously raised concerns
businesses on Riccarton
Rd will lose all of its car parking
following the completion of the
road works.
A city council spokeswoman
• To take part in the RBK

F9KP8lT1Q/viewform
said when work is completed
there will be time-restricted
parking provided to the east
of Rotherham St and south of
Riccarton Rd.
RBK residents’ association
member Lyndon Telfer said he
did not know why there was
a proposal to lower the speed
limit when the traffic on Riccarton
Rd “hardly moves.”
He said what was surprising
was the 40km/h proposal for
the side streets – which would
allow the traffic to go faster
than on Riccarton Rd if implemented.
City council data showed
as of June, on average 1472 vehicles
were using Rimu St north
and 1595 were using Rimu St
south.
Mr Telfer said he suspects
the number of vehicles shortcutting
side streets will increase
significantly if the proposal
goes ahead.
As of June, 399 vehicles on
average were using Rata St west
and 804 vehicles were using
Rata St east.
Mr Telfer said normally about
1100 vehicles travels from Kauri
St onto Rata St but there was
a decrease when the Kauri St
entrance was blocked off temporarily.
He said the association is
planning to ask the city council
to permanently block off the
Kauri St entrance into Rata
St to decrease short-cutting
vehicles.
SKILLS: The Canterbury age-group beach volleyball team
celebrate from the national provincial champs last week.
Beach volleyballers
in the medals
• By Jacob Page
CANTERBURY age-group
beach volleyballers found plenty
of success at the provincial
championships at Mt Maunganui
last week.
Canterbury finished first and
second in the under-17 girls category
with St Andrews College’s
Tineke Hinton and Burnside
High School’s Taylah Holden
claiming gold over Burnside’s
Rosa Vesty and St Margaret’s’
Ella Ballantyne 21-14,-22-20.
Ironically, both Taylah and
Rosa have won South Island secondary
school titles together and
will be a strong chance of winning
a national title together at
the same location this weekend.
Burnside High School coach
Sam Ryburn said the success was
down to a renewed commitment
to the beach volleyball game in
Canterbury.
“It’s been a long time since
we’ve had this kind of success,”
he said. “I don’t think five years
ago we would have sent a team.
Lincoln High School’s Nia
Surman and St Margaret’s’ Emily
O’Connor finished fifth.
The St Andrew’s duo of Marijke
Hinton and Kate Allan combined
to earn a bronze medal in
the under-19 category.
The duo beat fellow Canterbury
combination Georgia Bonne
of St Andrew’s College and
Rosa Davidson of St Margaret’s
College 21-14, 21-18.
Janie Porter
Art, landscape, seascape and birds
have always filled Janie’s life. She
painted and drew from when she was
old enough to hold a pencil or brush.
As a child she would watch the trees
and sky through the schoolroom
window when she should have been
listening to the teacher. The rolling
hills and countryside coloured her
childhood in England, where she often
spent time rescuing and nurturing
birds that had fallen out of nests or
had broken wings. Aged eight she saw
Cornwall for the first time – the cliffs,
the sea, the wheeling gulls took her
breath away.
Janie attended art school extramurally
while still at high school.
In her early twenties, travelling the
hippie trail from London to Kathmandu

she met and fell in love with a Kiwi.
When she came with him to his
home she fell in love again, this time
with the taonga of New Zealand, the
ocean, the native birds, the mountains
and the wilderness.
About twenty years ago her friend
Galina Kim who was an art mentor to
Janie encouraged her to start using a
palette knife. She never looked back.
Janie studied at the University of Fine
Arts in Vietnam in 2005 and there she
fused her use of palette knife and love
of NZ landscape with layers and layers
of pigment and lacquer.
Now she lives on Banks Peninsula/
Horomaka and spends her days
absorbing and painting the wonder
and beauty of her surroundings.
Observing and reflecting. Sea and birds and land. Walking,
exploring, wondering at its beauty.

the North Island age-group golf
championships.
Zach, 17, finished runner-up
in the under-19 field at the
Hamilton Golf Club, while
Seb, 14, managed third in the
under-16 category. The duo live
in Fendalton.
Zach said the result was reward
for the work he had done on his
game after a challenging 2019.
He was the co-leader heading
into the final round but could
not hold-off Miramar’s Sam
Masters in the final round.
Zach finished at +3, two shots
behind Sam.
“I was pleased with the week I
had, last year was tough for me,
the first six months was a struggle
with the way I was playing
and I worked really hard at it so
it’s nice to see the results coming
from that,” he said.
“My driving off the tee was
my issue, it became a mental
thing for me, I could go out
onto the driving range and hit
quality drives time-after-time
but then I’d play a round and it
would all fall apart – I’d get the
yips really.
“The positive thing is that my
short game has got better because
I’ve become used to playing
in positions on the course
that are tricky,” he said.
Seb was the outright leader
heading into the final round of
the under-16 tournament before
a 77 saw him finish at +7, eight
shots behind the winner, Ryan
Rooney from Fielding.
“I thought it was a pretty good
week against some tough golfers,”
he said.
“I haven’t played much in the
North Island because I have had
a wrist injury but it was good to
get the opportunity and backing
my ability.”
TALENTED
DUO:
Brothers
Zach (left),
and Seb May
both had
top-three
finishes at
the North
Island agegroup
golf
champs in
Hamilton.
Neither of their parents
played golf but they Zach was
taken to Russley’s junior golf
clinics at the age of five and Seb
followed.
Their sister, Maddie, 15, also
plays golf and has represented
Canterbury.
Zach said his next focus
would be the Canterbury
strokeplay this weekend at
Harewood Golf Club then the
South Island strokeplay in Dunedin
in a fortnight.
Seb will switch his focus to
cricket for the short-term.
TAKING UP judo five years ago
has changed the course of life for
former Christchurch Boys’ High
School student Lorcan Fivet.
He has the Olympics to work
towards, he has changed his
studies to a sports-related qualification
and he has gained more
personal confidence than he
thought was possible.
Fivet, a Strowan
resident, trains twice a
day, and balances his
passion for judo with his
bachelor of sport coaching
majoring in sports
science studies at the
Canterbury University
and has a job at UC’s
Recreation Centre.
The training has paid
off, with national titles
in the junior men’s category in
2017 and 2018, a world ranking
of 13 in June last year, and a first
senior men national title in 2019.
The 20-year-old travelled to
Brazil recently for an intensive
training opportunity.
The training will take place for
three months before he competes
in Argentina, Peru and Chile, as
part of a dream to compete at the
2022 Commonwealth Games.
Fivet has his sights set on the
2024 Olympics and that means
SPORT
Judo provides
new life direction
Lorcan Fivet
full-time training for the next
four years.
“I want to take it as far as possible,”
he said.
He has been passionate about
judo since he first tried it five
years ago.
“I tried it and loved it. After
the first year I was competing
and training 12 times
a week. I went through
the grades to black belt.”
He teaches the three
to 10 year-old class at
his club, Premier Equipe
Judo, and “would definitely
recommend judo,
especially for young
kids.”
Along with
fitness, co-ordination,
discipline and coaching
skills, judo has given
Fivet another important
life lesson.
“I used to be extremely
introverted; I hated any kind
of social interaction. My first
two or three years of judo I
would stay at the back, in the
shadows, and avoid attention.
Ever since I started judo, my
parents and coach said the same
thing, that it takes you out of
your shell and gives you so much
confidence.”
New shoe shop offers even more
‘fashionable, functional footwear’
Newly opened, the Shoe Room in Riccarton Road,
just across from the Bush Inn Centre, offers an
extensive range of specialised footwear for people
that have foot problems, difficulty finding shoes or are
simply looking for stylish, comfortable shoes.
This bright, modern and attractively laid out store is
owned by podiatrist Charlotte Russell, who also owns
and operates the podiatry clinic Feet First in Upper
Riccarton. The Shoe Room was previously part of the
clinic, but increasing demand for “fashionable, functional
footwear” meant they needed to expand, Charlotte says.
As a stand-alone store with much more space, the
Shoe Room is able to offer an extended range of brands
and styles to accommodate feet requiring specific
features, such as wider, deeper or more narrow fitting
and for those who are on their feet all day.
The Shoe Room Shop assistant Wendy, left,
business owner Charlotte Russell, centre,
and shop manager Maxine.
At present, the majority are women’s shoes, but the
men’s range will be expanded with the arrival of the
winter season collection, Charlotte says.
Brands on display include Mephisto from France,
which is exclusive to the Shoe Room in New Zealand,
Australian brands Frankie 4, Revere and Propet, and
Taos from the United States.
The shop has been thoughtfully designed with seating
and large mirrors to the side of the display areas, so
customers have plenty of space to try shoes on and
walk around in them. Shop manager Maxine and shop
assistant Wendy both have extensive experience in
footwear, so can assist and advise customers on the
best fit and style to suit their needs.
“This is a point of difference for the Shoe Room –
having people who know about shoe fitting to help our
customers,” Charlotte says. “We will also be having a

appointment, though we welcome walk-ins.”
For customer convenience there is an off-street
parking area behind the shop, with access from Auburn
Avenue. Dedicated Shoe Room parking spaces are
located right by the back door.
The Shoe Room is located at Unit 3, 355 Riccarton Road, opposite the Lone Star.
Opening hours are Monday 10am-5.30pm, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 9.30am-5.30pm,
Thursday 9.30am-7pm, Saturday 10am-4pm.

Neck assessment vital after
concussion injury
What role does the neck play in
concussion injury?
Research shows that the average
concussion injury involves 95g of force to
the head. It can take as little as 4g of force
to cause an injury to the upper cervical
spine.
This means it is virtually impossible
to have a concussion injury without
also injuring the structures at the top
of the neck. The latest medical research
acknowledges that the neck plays a
significant role in post-concussion
symptoms.
The symptoms of an
uncomplicated mild concussion
will usually resolve within the first
two weeks post-injury. However,
some people will experience
symptoms for a lot longer. It is
vital to get the neck assessed as
it can be the cause of lingering
symptoms.
The neck can be mistakenly
thought of as one structure;
however, the upper cervical spine
is completely different from the rest of
the spine, both in structure and function.
This area is particularly vulnerable
during a concussion injury and has a
major influence on brain function, as the
brainstem lies within the upper cervical
spine.
Children, teenagers and females are
more susceptible to concussion injuries
due to the muscles of the neck being
smaller and weaker in these groups. This
means that the acceleration of the head is
greater during impact, increasing the risk
of damage to the brain and structures in
the neck.
If you have sustained a concussion
injury and have ongoing symptoms,
you need to get your neck checked by a
practitioner with specialised knowledge
and post-graduate training in the upper
cervical spine. This is a delicate area and
needs to be carefully examined to ensure
that injury and dysfunction are diagnosed
correctly.
The team at The Headache Clinic have
undergone extensive training in the
upper cervical spine and work exclusively
in this area. Their practitioners have
extensive knowledge and experience in
treating post-concussion syndrome. The
Headache Clinic use a targeted approach
to assess and treat the upper cervical and
ensure strength and stability in the neck is
restored to decrease the risk of re-injury.
Concussion is a complicated injury that
needs to be taken seriously. The effects
can be lifelong if they are not managed
correctly by professionals experienced in
treating concussion injuries.
The Christchurch clinic is located
on the corner of Papanui and Blighs
Roads. For more information visit

Aikido beginners
Interested in aikido? “Then follow
the Nike approach and “just do it””
is the advice instructor Andrew
Williamson repeats to beginners.
“Every new student is naturally
apprehensive about beginning a
Japanese martial art aikido, we have
all ‘been there‘.”
At Aikido Shinryukan Canterbury
we take care to ease beginners into
training through basics classes.
With that first step onto the mat, we
focus on beginners understanding
the fundamentals of aikido so that
they can take the next step and
begin a life long study of the art.
“We want students to develop
technically and physically as quickly
as possible”, notes Williamson. “We
can then introduce them to more
advanced training and international
instructors and build the total
knowledge base of our group.”
Aikido Shinryukan Canterbury
has dojos in Burnside and Linwood
and provides daily classes for adults
and children. Beginners are very
welcome.

christchurch School of Music
Christchurch School of Music (CSM)
has offered high quality music tuition and
ensembles to Cantabrians for 65 years,
with many of its alumni now performing
in orchestras, bands and choirs across New
Zealand and the world.
“From an engaging preschool
programme to high quality adult tuition
and everything in between, CSM caters
to everyone aged from 2 to 92, whatever
their level of playing or singing” says Music
Director Celia Stewart.
It offers tuition in all orchestral
instruments, recorder, ukulele, guitar,
piano and voice, and musicianship classes.
A wide range of ensembles includes
orchestras at every level; two choirs; wind,
guitar and recorder ensembles; chamber
music; jazz combo; concert band; big band;
and rock bands.
CSM’s outreach programme takes tutors
into schools to offer strings, band, ukulele,
recorder and percussion tuition.
“The school is a place where all the
family can learn and enjoy being part of
an ensemble at their level,” says Celia “It
is always wonderful to see a mother and
daughter playing in the same orchestra.
There is a strong sense of community on
a Saturday with music coming from every
space.”
Saturday and after school tuition will
take place starting in 2020 at Linwood
College on the old Avonside Girls’ High
site on Avonside Drive.
CSM offers a range of performing
opportunities from solo recitals, regular
soirees to its annual Showcase.
“CSM has an important role to play,
regardless of whether students go on to
become professional musicians, or listeners
with a well-grounded knowledge and love
of music,” says Celia, who started at the
then Christchurch School of Instrumental
Music as a six year old and has worked in a
wide range of roles within the School.
The school has always championed the
recorder, a beautiful instrument in its own
right as well as a great starting instrument
so it is offering a very special deal. For
just $52 a year, students receive a quality
instrument, a tutor book and group tuition
with excellent tutors for the full year.

Gain a second chance at NCEA
NCEA credits after leaving secondary
school, thanks to Vision College. The
Private Training Establishment (PTE) are
spreading awareness to the young people
in the community, making sure they know
that achieving NCEA levels outside of
school is within their reach.
Vision College’s free ‘Ultimate’
programme offers students without NCEA
the opportunity to gain NCEA Level 1
and 2, their driver’s licence, and a range of
skills designed to make them employable.
Students earn their NCEA credits in
a more practical way, through games,
hands-on activities, and by applying their
learning to real life situations. Students
also get to experience tasters of different
career and study paths to help them
decide where they would like to head after
completing ‘Ultimate’.
School leavers can also enrol in
Security, Early Childcare or Business
Administration courses to earn not only
credits towards NCEA Level 3, but also a
career qualification too in just six months.
These courses are all free for anyone aged
between 16 and 19. Upon completion
students can even pathway onto higher
study with Vision College in Web and
Software Development, Early Childhood
Education, and Counselling.
Vision College are enrolling now for
February! For more information on their
courses, call 0800 834 834, txt “VISION”
to 027 557 8839, or visit their website
www.vision.ac.nz.
Each year up to 10,000 young people
in New Zealand leave school with little
or no formal qualifications. Many teens
disengage with school as the teaching
environment simply does not suit their
style of learning. Research shows that
without a qualification they are more likely
to have difficulties entering the workforce,
as most jobs nowadays require NCEA and
a driver’s licence.
Many early school leavers unfortunately
believe that secondary school is the only
way to earn their NCEA qualifications.
This misconception is particularly
concerning for those young people
who don’t necessarily ‘fit’ the schooling
environment, but still want to find
employment or complete certain industry
training courses for which an NCEA
qualification is a pre-requisite.
Every year dozens of young people
are getting a second chance at earning

Summerset at Wigram serviced apartment resident, Alma with daughter Maree
Serviced apartments,

Discover how Summerset living allows
Alma to stay active and thrive

“ Since Mum’s been here,
she’s just blossomed”
From growing up in a big family in Christchurch to being happily married for 63 years, Alma’s had
plenty of company throughout her whole life.
So, when the option to move to a Summerset serviced apartment came up, Alma and daughter
Maree were naturally a little nervous it might be a bit on the quiet side for her. But, since the move,
they’ve discovered it’s been anything but quiet.
“I don’t think you’d ever need to feel lonely here. It’s just like a big family and there’s always
something going on,” remarks Alma.
When she first arrived at her serviced apartment, Alma had her husband by her side. Sadly, he
passed away shortly after due to on-going health issues. “I thought it might take her a little while to
deal with the loss of dad and… the new surroundings, but it was quite amazing really how quickly
she settled, and I think that was down to the staff,” recalls daughter Maree.
Alma with Maree as a toddler
While the move was a big decision, the whole family feel that Alma has “blossomed” since and
has become more herself again.
“ She’s involved herself in things that she hadn’t done for years, Choir. Exercising.
She’s just taken it with both hands, made friends and it’s all been just amazing.”
Maree and Alma both admit that the stigma of retirement living put them off for longer than it
needed to. “I think mum was just so delighted when she came here and realised how welcoming
and how well-run [the place was] and what care was here for her. I think it was an eye-opener, really.”
Having Alma living at home with her would have been a dream for Maree, but with the reality of
working all day, she worried her mum would be very bored. But Alma hasn’t had time for boredom
at all since moving to Summerset. “There’s so much to keep you occupied. Music. Happy Hour, little
outings. It’s a lovely place to be.”
Alma also fills her time with a cheeky bit of cleaning, even though she doesn’t need to lift a finger.
“I don’t think she leaves a lot for the staff to clean, but that’s mum,” laughs Maree.
“It’s a relief for us to know that she’s taken care of. Dad would be so pleased to see she’s in a
place like this. It’s just been a godsend.”
