POLICING AROUND south
Christchurch high schools has
increased in an effort to make
sure students are obeying the
conditions of their driver licences.
Hillmorton
High School principal
Ann Brokenshire
said its year
11s and 12s have
been told about
this initiative and
it will serve as a
valuable reminder
for students to
follow their driver
licence rules.
Ann
Brokenshire
“If you’ve got young people,
you know, they’ve learnt to
drive, they’re driving, there are
conditions on that. It’s just about
reminding them because they
make those really quick decisions
that can have life-changing consequences,”
she said.
Canterbury road policing
manager Inspector Greg Cottam
said high school students are
often not on their full licences.

PAPER BUSINESS cards may
be a thing of the past thanks to
an innovative group of young
enterprise students.
Businesses can now share
their contact details electronically
by tapping their “STAP
Card” onto the recipient’s
phone, which also produced
links to a website or social
media.
Cashmere High School year
12 students Jayden Rosanowski,
Felix Strahl and Emilia
Dybka recognised the need
for a sustainable option after
learning that six million trees
were cut down each year to
produce business cards.
“We were looking to be
innovative in some way, then
we thought about how [paper]
business cards are a waste of
time and take up too much
space,” said Felix, of St Martins.
“Instead of carrying around
thousands of business cards,
they can now just have one for
each for their employees.”
Compatible with all phones,
each card contained an electronic
chip or QR code that
the students programmed
themselves and worked in a
similar fashion to payWave.
Catherine
Chu
For now, the cards were
made of plastic, but the team
aimed to produce a biodegradable
plastic alternative in the
future.
Felix said the innovation,
which was a first in NZ, would
impact the future of business
and how people operated as it
cut costs, was less time consuming
and had fewer adverse
effects on the environment.
“Eighty-eight per cent of
all business cards are thrown
away within a week,” said
Jayden, of Halswell.
The young entrepreneurs
have received more than 30
orders since their online shop
was launched.
It also caught the interest of

other local business card companies
who have considered
purchasing the cards in bulk.
Said Felix: “People love it,
we’ve received messages from
people who are really happy
with their purchase. We’ve
been told it’s made things a
whole lot easier for them.”

In response to the negative
environmental impact of paper
business cards, they teamed up
with non-profit organisation
One Tree Planted.
For every card sold, $2 was
donated to the organisation
which will go towards the
planting of a new tree at locations
across the globe.
The venture was part of the
Young Enterprise Scheme
which has been rolled out
into schools’ business studies
programmes.
They were hoping to continue
the project next year.

EDUCATION: Pupils make good use of the play and learning spaces at Ngutuawa School, formerly Bamford School.
History reflected in new Ngutuawa School
• By Bea Gooding
IT’S THE beginning of a new
chapter at Bamford Primary
School.
Nearly a decade after the
September 4, 2010, and February
22, 2011, earthquakes caused
irreparable damage to the site’s
foundations, the school has
found a new home – a $6 million
facility now known as Ngutuawa
School.
The school’s new name
represented the history and
culture of the area in which
it was established and was a
reflection of the “exciting”
changes.
Principal Shona Hewlett said
staff and students had now
settled into a modern learning
environment; one that was no
longer “damp” and “cold.”
“The students were very
excited about the new space,
they thought it was beautiful,”
she said.
“Everyone feels really blessed
to be able to come to this new
environment and start fresh.”
Damage to the previous
facility was mostly underground,
such as drainage pipes which
were too costly to fix.
Hewlett said they were lucky
to have been able to rebuild on
the same site unlike many other

schools across the city.
Funded by the Ministry of
Education, construction began
last year which took three years
to plan and design.
The classrooms were now open
plan, with the ability to close
off areas as needed, had better
temperature controls, and a
“fabulous new hall” the school
did not previously have.
The interior was splashed
with soft colours of blue, grey
and teal to promote a “peaceful”
environment, said Hewlett.
Renaming the school to
Ngutuawa – Maori for river
mouth – was an important
aspect of the changes to better
reflect its values and the
significance of the area.
“The school sits right at the
mouth of the Heathcote River
which was a significant food
gathering area for Ngai Tahu, to
source whitebait and eels,” she
said.
“It’s nice to have a name that
is reflective of the environment
that we’re sitting in.”

is very important given
the value the board places

The overnight home sleep test
allows a person to sleep in the
comfort of their own bed. No doctor

This is a great opportunity to see if CPAP is for you and to
feel the benefits in terms of less fatigue, snoring and more

A SOMERFIELD toy library
has been experiencing a spike in
membership in spite of a global
pandemic.
The Christchurch South Toy
Library is on a mission to expand
their toy hire service across
the city, providing more families
with a chance to reduce their toy
wastage.
With many children growing
out of their toys at a rapid rate,
new toys lay unused after as
quickly as six months, resulting
in physical and financial waste.
Said librarian Ashleigh Cattermole:
“It’s a good way to reduce
unnecessary spending, parents
don’t have to buy something
that their kids only use for six
months.”
A wide range of children’s
toys, including slides and bikes,
were available for hire over two
weeks and was suitable for newborns
to eight-year-olds.
It was also a simple process
of identifying which toys were
age-appropriate during crucial
stages of development, promoting
physical activity, creativity,
problem-solving and many more
skills.
“Development through play
is important and it expands on
what they’re already learning,”
said Cattermole.
In an age of online shopping
and where people were
conscious about hygiene due to
Covid-19, the library’s membership
rates had soared, with many
families unaware the service had
existed.
“We’ve got the highest membership
that we’ve had,” said
Cattermole.
“Since the lockdown, we’ve
had a lot of members joining up
after spending lots of time with
their children and realising how
important it is to have things to
be entertained [with].”
Toy library membership
meant parents were spending
less money in comparison to
purchasing brand-new, which

also presented a more sustainable
option for families.
The library itself is funded by
the community through fundraising
events and donations
as well as grants from the city
council.
Toys available for hire were
donated to the library from
other families, making sure they
limited their own waste in the
process.
“I can only imagine
the amount of waste [in
Canterbury],” said Cattermole.
“We don’t throw anything out
unless they’re broken beyond
repair. We sell them on if the
toys have seen better days or we
have a grandparent who can also
do repairs.”
BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY
Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the
Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, a
non-profit organisation formed in 2002
to protect one of New Zealand’s most
important coastal wetlands. Each week
she introduces a new bird found in the
estuary. Her column aims to raise the
understanding of the values and uniqueness of the area.
Long lives for hungry
oystercatchers
OYSTERCATCHERS are easy to
spot with their black and white
feathers and a bright orange bill
and legs. You may have seen them
busily harvesting the mudflats
– mainly for cockles but also for
crabs and fish.
It has been recorded that this
ever-hungry bird can consume
up to 1kg of cockles per day. Now
that’s a lot of cockles. At high
tide when they cannot feed on
the mudflats they move to nearby
paddocks to feed on worms and
grubs as well.
Once they find a mate, it’s
for life, and records show pairs
which have been together for 20
years. They prefer to nest inland
and move in early spring to
riverbeds and farmland in the
east of the Southern Alps to raise
their chicks. They then return in
large numbers to our estuary in
autumn and winter.
They are long-lived as well, with
banded birds recorded here to be
as old as 27 years.
There are about 112,000 of these

birds in New Zealand but numbers
are declining. So how can we help
these birds thrive? Keep dogs on
the lead when walking near the estuary
as to not disturb them while
feeding or resting.
Do not gather shellfish from the
mudflats, as we need to ensure
large numbers of cockles are
present for the birds.
Gathering also disturbs the
birds from feeding.

Ground moisture barrier
under low sub-floor
Now with the colder and wetter weather on
its way, home owners are focusing on ways
to make their homes comfortable, warm
and healthy for their families throughout
winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects
many of our older properties which suffer
from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier.
In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many
people have relocated to homes that suffer
from rising damp which can be associated
with health problems. Independent tests have
shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise
from the ground and enter a house every day,
leading to mildew, mould, condensation and
musty smells. Moulds can produce various
allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and
very young are especially vulnerable.
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a
locally owned and operated firm. The team
understands the problems caused by rising
damp and are there to help. They will come
to your damp home and pump a lightweight,
flowable foam concrete under your timber
floored home.
While insulation is important, it has been
recognised that it is dampness that is the real
villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes
Standards introduced by the government
effective from the 1st July 2019 now has
a requirement to install ground moisture
barriers, a key element in the armory to fight
moisture in the home.

report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under

the effects of placing Foam Concrete over
damp soil and had this to say: Condensation
on the underside of a timber floor can occur
where the floor is suspended over damp
ground and the inside air temperature falls
close to the crawl space air temperature.
Much energy is required to vaporize moisture
that penetrates the structure. By avoiding
underfloor condensation, foam concrete can
reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%.
• Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most
cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier
under the suspended wooden floor of your
home, even when there is no crawl space.
• BRANZ Appraised; Appraisal Number 961

Zone Control for your
ducted heat pump
Ducted heat pumps are a highly efficient
way to heat (or cool) your home. The
air from the heat pump is ducted to
several rooms or zones in your house.
Using a zone control system makes your
ducted heat pump even more efficient, by
specifying the amount of heat required
in each area, so not wasting energy to
overheat or overcool any room.
The AirTouch4 zone control system
from Smooth-Air takes ducted heat pump
air zoning to a whole new level of comfort
and energy efficiency.
AirTouch4 - The Ultimate Zone
Control
Have total control of your comfort zone:
AirTouch4 lets everyone enjoy a different
level of conditioned air in the room they
are in.
Save money on the power
bill, without compromising on
comfort, by only running the
heating or cooling where you
need it with Smart Zoning.
Plus with runtime tracking,
energy and airflow management
technology, you can enjoy greater
efficiency and savings from your
family’s ducted heat pump.

The AirTouch4 can

also
connect to Google Home and
Amazon Alexa.
Not every home is designed
equal. Not every room is either.
Temperatures can often fluctuate from
one room to the next because of sunlight,
room activity or other factors.
With AirTouch4’s Individual
Temperature Control Technology (ITC),
the AirTouch monitors temperatures
and smartly adjusts airflow as needed
around your home with the aid of multiple
wireless temperature sensors instead of a
single sensor in one location. When some
rooms get too hot or cold, the AirTouch
will adjust airflow to maintain your desired
temperature, without wasting conditioned
air on rooms already comfortable.

Amazing health miracles
from the silkworm
Serrapeptase an enzyme produced in
silkworms may become one of the most
widely used natural health solutions
for its ability to replace the majority of
anti-inflammatory drugs and bypass
operations. It is nature’s answer to pain,
chronic inflammation and clogged
arteries. Enzymes are essential for
life. Constantly working to build and
regenerate the body, they help digest
food, break down toxins and cleanse
the blood, in addition to thousands of
other functions. A lack of enzymes in the
body leads to food intolerances, allergies,
digestive issues, disease and poor health.
Studies show an average 70-year old has
only 20 percent of the enzymes found in
the body of a 20-year old.
Serrapeptase is a natural antiinflammatory,
which can clean, clear and
reduce inflammation while dissolving
non-living tissue including blood clots,
cysts, arterial plaque and mucus. One of
its major benefits is its ability to reduce
pain.
The serrapeptase enzyme was first found
in the intestine of the silkworm in the late
1960’s. The silkworm uses it to dissolve the
hard cocoon, allowing the moth to escape
as well as to digest the tough mulberry
leaves it feeds on. Serrapeptase can now be
produced commercially by a fermentation
process of the microorganism Serriata
E15. It is prescribed by doctors across
Europe and Asia.
Clinical studies over the last 40 years
have shown serrapeptase to have
remarkable benefits in a vast range of
health conditions including; blocked
arteries, cardiovascular, arthritis,
asthma, lung conditions, pain, tumors,
autoimmune disease and many more.
In Germany, Dr. Hans Nieper clinically
researched serrapeptase and found it
could clear blocked arteries and prevent
the need for bypass operations. U.K.
pharmacist Dennis Gore talked on BBC
radio about the dramatic results he has
had with serrapeptase. One case was a
man in his 60’s who had been a heavy
smoker, was wheeled into his pharmacy.
He was breathless due to emphysema
and COPD and could hardly talk. He
was on antibiotics, oxygen and getting
bad infections. Dennis prescribed him
serrapeptase and three weeks later the
man walked into his pharmacy, with no
wheelchair and no breathlessness and said
to Dennis he was no longer on antibiotics,
nor oxygen cylinders and was feeling
great.
Serrapeptase has been shown to be
very safe supplement and according
to researchers can be used with most
medications. However let your doctor
know as medications may need reducing
or stopping as the need for them reduces.
Serrapeptase and more information
is available from the natural health
advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural
Therapy, 101 Seaview Road, New
Brighton, Phone: (03) 388-5757.
