NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Thursday August 13 2020 7 News Antarctic spirit encapsulated A GROUP of year 7 and 8 pupils from Papanui’s St Joseph’s School have become the first to graduate from the inaugural International Antarctic Centre online learning programme. A number of pupils gained an excellence for their efforts in the 10-week academy. Said International Antarctic Centre education manager Miranda Satterthwaite: “We were impressed with how thoroughly the students adapted to receiving online instruction and how they could apply their learning – from building Antarctic-bases to understanding the intention behind the Antarctic Treaty to the increasing issue of tourism – to the in-centre exploration that marked the final assessment. “Lockdown was a test for us all, but the students of St Joseph’s truly handled their challenge with the mettle of Antarctic explorers before them.” St Joseph’s School deputy principal Marietjie Verweij said they considered themselves very lucky that the pupils had been set-up for digital learning and were ready to discover and extend their learning just as the Antarctic Academy programme was ready to launch. ADVENTURE: (From left) – International Antarctic Centre’s education manager Miranda Satterthwaite and Hagglund driver Phurenje Sherpa with pupils Claudia Vivian, Molly Maynard, George Robertson, Ryan Cooke and Carter Devlin, and St Joseph’s School deputy principal Marietjie Verweij. “We just couldn’t believe how it all worked out, given how unexpected and how disruptive the nine weeks could otherwise have been for our students and teachers,” she said. The school had a special assembly held to honour the academy graduates and to welcome the start of the school’s contribution to Wild in Art’s community sculpture and charity programme raising funds for Cholmondeley Children’s Home. Satterthwaite said the International Antarctic Centre’s academy is enjoying strong demand for its in-centre and online programmes and has plans to further this as schools understand the significance of Antarctic studies and how it meets curriculum and social needs so thoroughly. “Science, geography, history, biology, engineering are all met, but one thing that undeniably provides the most positive impact on well-being is meeting one of our real-life rescue penguins.” Proposals not supported • From page 1 Policies to restrict non-residential activities in residential zones made consent more difficult to obtain. Said Harrison: “We don’t support discriminating between hosted and unhosted short-term rentals. Whether a host is present or not doesn’t form a sound basis for regulation as there’s many variables involved to police this.” Airbnb owners did not support the proposals due to the growing need for self-catering homes for groups and families that many motels, hotels and hostels did not cater for. They have outlined their concerns to community boards across the city. They favoured the option which removed restrictions on whole unit listings and treated home-share accommodation as a residential activity. “This option allows for better regulation by registering homes. All other options leave you with an impossible compliance issue. “If you restrict self-contained homes, visitors will limit their time in Christchurch,” Harrison said. They supported a nationwide approach to regulations which did not “geographically distort the market,” and a mandatory code of conduct for owners, managers and guests enforceable under a three-strike rule. AirDNA data shows Christchurch hosts earned about $50 million between August 2018 and 2019. It is estimated about 250,000 guests were hosted last year. Griffiths said some regulations could be approached from a nationwide perspective. “A nationwide code of practice would be possible for short-term accommodation, but would require agreement of all listing platform providers, council and other regulatory agencies,” he said. “However, a nationwide code of practice could not be the only regulatory mechanism in spite of this being a preferred option. City council has responsibilities under the Building Act, Resource Management Act and other legislation that the code may not address.’’ The Government could also issue objectives and policies to ensure a consistent approach to managing the issue, such as the use of land and its effects that all councils must enforce. The city council will present a report to the Urban Development and Transport Committee outlining recommendations on a preferred option including whether or not to notify changes to the District Plan next month. ‘CEREC’ & cosmetic dentistry Wisdom tooth removal Painless, high quality dentistry Sedation dentistry Experienced, conscientious team Experienced hygienists OPEN SATURDAYS 355 9380 144 Cranford Street www.stalbansdentalcentre.co.nz Jayz Kutz Jessika, previously @ Canterbury Cutz Mondays New Brighton Barber Shop 55 Hawke St, New Brighton Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays Fred Daisy Hair and Body 2 Leacroft St, Bishopdale Unisex Hairdressing 0225 601 060 Celebrating End of Roadworks Special Nicky Wagner National List MP I’d like to acknowledge everyone that I have worked with over the last 15 years.
