Demolition
of housing
units blamed
for rise in
antisocial
behaviour

TERI NICHOL believes
the demolition of a former
community housing unit
has contributed to the rise of
inappropriate behaviour caused
by “drunks” around Edgeware
Village.
Like many workers and
shoppers at the village, the St
Albans resident is fed-up with a
group of men who spend their
time terrorising customers for
money and food.
Interactions with the
individuals were often aggressive
in nature, especially if donations
were not perceived to be enough,
or if they were not given
anything.
A police spokesperson said
police met with the Edgeware
Business Association group late
last year to discuss concerns
surrounding anti-social
behaviour.
Since then, police have
increased their presence in the
area and served a trespass notice
to the offending individuals at
Fresh Choice Edgeware.

I’ve been checking in on our
small businesses in Belfast and
Northwood on how they’re doing
as we continue to work through
the impacts of Covid-19.
I recently visited Waimak River
Riding Centre, a tourism business
in Belfast which has shown great
innovation in meeting the
challenges of border closures.
Previously, the business attracted
many international tourists but it
has successfully managed to
adapt to these new challenges
through developing exciting
programmes to offer our domestic
tourists. The business is a true
success story, pivoting away from
its previous business model to
provide horseriding and training
right on Cantabrians’ doorsteps.
I’m always impressed by the
enterprise of our small
businesses, which provide
employment for local residents.
My family and I again enjoyed a
Canterbury staycation over the
break, taking advantage of some
of the great locations on our
doorstep. A ride on the Gondola,
visits to the Riverside Market,
Diamond Harbour and other great
destinations remind us how lucky
we are to call Canterbury home.
Let’s support local tourism.
My Constituent Clinics at the
Papanui RSA have resumed for

you would like to meet.

Community board outlines plans for year
• By Bea Gooding
David
Cartwright
BIGGER BINS, addressing
derelict buildings and improving
pedestrian safety are just
some of the priorities the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board will spotlight
in the coming months.
As the wards embark on a
brand new
year, chairman
David
Cartwright
says board
priorities remain
largely
unchanged
but felt “cautiously
optimistic”
for the
year ahead.
Although
each area was unique and had
its own set of issues, the board
was focused on installing “Big
Belly” bins at high-usage parks,
such as Abberley, Bishopdale and
Avonhead parks, to address overflowing
rubbish bins.
Another one of their priorities
was also under way as the demolition
process of the “derelict”
Old Caretaker’s House at Burnside
Park has already started.
“One of the things we’re looking
at is Big Belly bins, which is
like a larger rubbish bin. This

reduces the amount of times
needed to be emptied, which is
cost-saving for the council,” said
Cartwright.
The board also wanted to see
a shared pathway installed at
the eastern end of Gardiners Rd,
from Wilkinsons Rd to Sawyers
Arms Rd.
It was one of their top priorities,
Cartwright added, to improve
pedestrian safety for all.
The lack of footpath has
caused some concern among
residents and board members
alike, which was a barrier for
disabled people, or those with
prams and young children accessing
the area.
Said Cartwright: “We see that
as a key project within that area
for safety, so they don’t have

to walk on the grass, or on the
road.”
Part of the board’s priorities
for the next three months and
beyond was ensuring community
groups they supported had
the “capability and capacity” to
continue operating.
The board’s 2020-2022 plan
revealed feedback from residents
indicated they were concerned
about the increased house and
vehicle break-ins across Bishopdale,
Avonhead and Russley over
the past year.
In response, the board plans
to work with police to educate
communities, with Christchurch
North Community Patrol to
increase the number of patrols,
and Canterbury Neighbourhood
Support towards safety initiatives.
“There’s some fantastic work
going on in the neighbourhood,
so we’re doing what we can to
assist them in fulfilling their role
within the community,” Cartwright
said.
Lessons learned during the
events of last year gave the board
some preparation for 2021.
A “glass half full” approach
while working together was
needed to tackle what was yet to
come.
Perception was often
worse than reality, Cartwright
said.
“There’s still a little bit of pain
ahead, however, we are significantly
better placed than other
parts of the world.”
“As long as we can have good
conversations and keep our
calm, we will survive. We’re still
the best city in New Zealand by a
long shot.”

INTERSECTION
UPGRADE
Work to improve safety at the
Marshland, Lower Styx and
Hawkins Rds intersection
will start this week. Upgrades
include widening the bridge
over Styx River, the extension
of the Canal Reserve Drain
culvert, installation of traffic
signals and street lights, road
widening and landscaping.
Fortnightly progress reports
will be issued and any pending
changes to traffic management.
Construction is expected to
be completed by March next
year and will be carried out in
stages.
PARKING ISSUES
RAISED
Parking issues on Cranford St
were raised at the last Papanui-
Innes Community Board
meeting. Parents have been
parking over driveways during
school pick-up and drop-off
times, preventing residents
from accessing their properties
on some occasions. The board
requested that the city council
advise them on when road
works were completed so that
the need for additional no
stopping lines or enforcement
could be considered.
• From page 1
Said Nichol: “The change-over
of the management of council
flats in the area to Ōtautahi
Community Housing Trust has
seen more undesirable behaviour
because of the people they’re
placing in the units.
“The housing units behind St
Albans tennis courts have been
torn down, so there are many
new homeless people roaming
the area.
“This is probably where this
group of men have come from.”
She has had to regularly call
police 105 and the city council
because she did not feel safe
walking to the shops.
For years, Nichol and her family
have enjoyed the playground
and paddling pool at Abberley
Park, about a 10min walk from
the village.
But as of two weeks ago, that
was no longer the case.
“This group of men arrived
to go behind a large hedge, they
were drinking and started to
take their clothes off, then one
urinated right out in the open,”
she said.
“My three-year-old wanted
to go to the paddling pool, but I
realised that these men probably
bathe in there.”
Workers told Nor’West News
last week the long-standing
issue has only worsened in the
last three years, who described
intimidating and threatening
behaviour towards customers.
Real Fruit Parlour front of
house worker and chef Chadi
Coira confronted one of the men
at Riverside Market in December,
telling him to “stay away from
my shop.”
Shortly after, the store was
tagged with graffiti – an act
of retaliation, she believes, for
standing up to them.
Coira was now afraid to work
in the downstairs section of
the shop, staying put upstairs
instead.
“I’m terrified. One of them has
been looking for me specifically,
asking my co-workers where I
was,” she said.
“I can’t call the cops because
I’m scared of what they’re going
to do.”

In the last two weeks, Coira
has felt safer having seen at least
one police car driving past each
day.
Said the police spokesperson:
“Police continue to have a presence
in Edgeware Village, just as
we do in all our communities.
“Begging or hanging around
public places in themselves are
not criminal offences, but police
are called from time to time to
deal with issues involving public
disorder or complaints about
antisocial behaviour.”
In some cases, those dealt with
are suffering a range of welfare
issues.
“In those cases, police seek to
use alternative resolutions and
referrals to partner agencies to
assist with specialist help.
“We encourage anyone
experiencing or witnessing an
incident that requires police to
call 111 immediately, so we can
attend in a timely manner and
respond appropriately.”

Students fly high in cirque aerial classes
• By Bea Gooding
A MERIVALE school is
breaking new ground as the first
school in Australasia to offer
cirque aerial classes.
Launching for the first time
this year, St Margaret’s College
is providing the classes through
their Theatre Dance Academy
and is open to the wider community,
not just students.
New Zealand cirque master
Danny Lee Syme joins the
programme, helping others
learn the ropes of aerial trapeze,
silks, lyra and aerial strength
techniques.
TDA director Alison Rossiter
said interest in the classes was
already picking up, with spaces
filling up fast.
Being a “triple threat” was
typical in the performing arts
industry, but these days, employers
were looking for more.
“It’s super exciting, I think
we’re in a blessed position to
have the facilities to offer something
unique,” she said.
“With the way the world’s
going in the industry, you need
extra tricks now.”
The school’s dance studio was
rebuilt following the Canterbury
earthquakes. The new design

They wanted to create a versatile
space for students to perform
and train in, having the capacity
to learn the necessary skills
needed to thrive professionally
beyond SMC.
Some classes will be part of the
NCEA dance curriculum, where
students can earn marks towards
their studies – a point of differ-

ence compared to other existing
circus studios.
The school’s Theatre Dance
Academy syllabus already
includes open mixed classes,
taking in students aged from
early childhood right through to
adults.
Here they will learn the art of
American jazz, ballet, contemporary
dance, hip hop, musical
theatre and Latino dance.
It was an opportunity for
students who wanted to increase
their strength and fitness, try
something new, or add an industry
performance dimension to
their dance skills.
Through examinations and
training, the programme can
often lead to pathways in the entertainment
industry as students
leave with an internationally
recognised qualification.
With aerial training, career
prospects included the circus
field, commercial dance and performance,
theatre or as a stunt
performer.
“It’s fun and a chance to work
with a different skill set. It’s
also really positive, good for
mindfulness and overcoming
challenges,” said Rossiter.
The academy will be hosting
an aerial open day next
Wednesday, free of charge, and is
for all ages.

Former police officer continues to keep
SAFETY: Canterbury Neighbourhood Support manager and
former police officer, Murray McGusty, has responded to
some of the city’s most devastating disasters in the last two
decades.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
• By Bea Gooding
SUPPORTING communities
through Covid-19 isn’t Murray
McGusty’s first rodeo, and it
most certainly won’t be his last.
The former police officer of
23 years became manager of
Canterbury Neighbourhood
Support at the end of 2019, just
as the world was coming to grips
with the pandemic.
Having responded to some
of the city’s most significant
disasters – two earthquakes, the
Port Hills fires, and the mosque
attacks – he brought a wealth of
experience to the table.
The tumultuous events of
last year were far from what he
expected but he was looking
forward to some normality.
Said McGusty: “Last year was
a bit of a muddle, I’m hoping
this year isn’t going be as such
so I can re-focus on getting back
to the basics, to get out there,
meet new people, and get back
to normality as much as possible.”
CNS establishes and provides
support to neighbourhood
support groups across the city,
making communities safer
through crime prevention work,
emergency preparedness and
well-being.
Being a part of the non-profit
trust ensures residents are looking
out for their neighbours,
who work together to report
suspicious behaviour, and therefore
reducing crime.
If residents are familiar with
their neighbours, resources can
be spread more quickly during
times of great need.
“I do believe communities
that are connected and work
together are stronger and more
able to deal with what comes
along, whether it’s an earthquake
or a flood,” said McGusty.
It was rewarding to witness
others working hard to improve
their neighbourhood, he said.
He recalled a moment when
residents saved a person’s life,
thanks to the quick actions of
fellow neighbours.
“The people who noticed that
their neighbour’s blinds were
not open one morning found
the occupant collapsed inside
and called emergency services.
The occupant had suffered a
brain aneurysm.
“The occupant is alive and
well thanks to the actions of her
neighbours.”
Just before Christmas, he
heard a story of an individual
who wanted nothing to do with
the neighbourhood support
group on his street.
But after an incident involving
police, it was now a different
story.
“One day when he was out,
neighbours noticed someone in
his home. They called the police
and a burglar was apprehended.
“He now belongs to the street
group,” he said.
Working with neighbourhood
support as a former police
officer worked to his advantage,
having his foot in both
doors regarding contacts,
and knowledge from past
experiences.
McGusty’s police journey
began two decades ago when he
became an officer in Christchurch,
where he remained
throughout his tenure, which
included front line duties and
enquiries.
In his last five years with the
police, he worked extensively
with Phillipstown Neighbourhood
Policing team on crime
prevention before he became the
CNS manager in 2019.
It was something he always
wanted to do, he said, making
communities safer through the
police and various groups.
Although he was not born in
Christchurch, he has lived here
for a “long time,” working in the
city for all of his police career.

communities safe
Over time some of the
messaging had mostly
remained the same – cars
and houses were still
getting broken into as
they were not secure and
valuables were in clear view
through windows.
But a major difference
today was the dangers of
the internet, which proved
to be a challenge.
“Fraud, scams – that’s
really taken off as it’s all
electronic now, and they
are getting clever,” said
McGusty.
The manager’s first year
at CNS has been rocky, to
say the least. Like “all nonprofits,”
they were facing
financial challenges caused
by Covid-19.
But communities they
support, especially some
elderly people, were still
isolated and struggling.
“There’s still a reluctance,
with older people it’s taken
a while. They’re still very
cautious about mingling
and meeting new people.”

bit of horticulture, he was
thinking ahead.
His next steps included
organising a crime
prevention study, which
examined different
communities and whether
they had neighbourhood
support groups or not, and
if this affected crime rates.
“There isn’t much crime
going on in an area with really
strong neighbourhood
support, but there will be
other areas with no support
groups, so I just wanted to
do a comparison.”
Young filmmakers to
put spotlight on parks
PARK-LOVING young

with a wider audience by
creating a 60sec video to
celebrate Parks Week.
Organised by the city
council, the video competition
is open to budding
directors aged from seven
to 12-years-old.
The winning videos
will be uploaded to the
city council website during
Parks Week in early
March.
City council head of
parks Andrew Rutledge
said the competition
– which is open until
February 1 – encourages
children to show why they
love a particular park.
“We hope youngsters
will be inspired to share
a brief video – perhaps
featuring themselves or
friends and family – of
their favourite parks,” he
said.
“By sharing their special

Minimising waste aim of student programme
SCHOOL STUDENTS will get
hands-on lessons this year on
how to minimise their waste
due to a free Learning Through
Action programme run by the
city council.
A Waste of Time programme
is aimed at year 5 to 13 students
and focuses on educating
them about the city’s recycling
processes through a series
of engaging and interactive
activities.
As part of the programme,
which schools can access for
free, students visit three of
EcoCentral’s recycling facilities –
the Eco Sort, Eco Drop and Eco
Shop – to learn what happens to
the material that is put out for
recycling after it is collected at
the kerbside.
A partnership between Eco-
Central and Red Bus means
that in term one participating
schools can get free transport
to and from the recycling facilities.
Said city council parks
programmes and partnerships
manager Kate Russell.
“We teach students about how
we use the three Rs – reduce,
reuse and recycle – to manage
our waste stream and we show
them how small changes to our
habits can have a massive impact
on our environment.
“It’s a great learning opportunity
and students come away
with a better understanding of
the importance of waste reduction
and recovering resources
rather than disposing of them to
landfill.’’
Other free city council Learning
Through Action programmes
focus on sustainability, climate
change, biodiversity, geology,
water conservation, civil defence
and local government.
“With all of the programmes,
the goal is to provide students
with authentic, hands-on learning
opportunities,’’ said Russell.
Students examine stream
invertebrates as part of the
Fresh Water Frolicking programme.
For example, in that programme,
students go ponddipping
to identify a range of
stream invertebrates and explore
the wider food chains and life
cycles.
They consider the importance
of freshwater biodiversity and
investigate the impact of human
choices on the sustainability of
our eco-systems.
In the Native Nurturing
programme, students explore
the contrasting landscapes of the
Port Hills at Victoria Park. They
discover how the unique Port
Hills environment has changed
over time and take a multisensory
walk through podocarp
forest.
The students get up close and
personal with pests to consider
their impact on native and endemic
species, and they have
the opportunity to learn about
tracking and trapping methods
used by park rangers.
oN sAle Now!
EDUCATION: Students, including those
from Mairehau High School, examine
stream invertebrates as part of the city
council’s Fresh Water Frolicking programme
to learn more about the environment.

“In the past five years we have
worked with around 200 schools
in Christchurch, helping them
give their students learning experiences
outside the classroom,’’
Russell said.
“Last year 7283 students
from more than 70 schools
participated in our Learning
Through Action programmes.
That is fewer than in previous
years due to the Covid-19
lockdown. In a typical year
between 10,000 and 11,000
students benefit from our
programmes.’’

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
The December holiday period is often a time of reflection for people as they assess their plans
for the following year. For many, after such an unpredictable year in 2020, those discussions
would have centred around where and how they want to live in the future.
There has been no slowdown of interest from buyers across our market and we expect this to
continue through the first quarter of 2021 and beyond. Owners that are selling in the current
market are benefiting hugely from strong buyer engagement as buyers are decisive and
motivated to purchase.
Now is a great time to sell, but don’t just take our word for it, check out the December statistics

christchurch School of Music
The challenges we have all faced in 2020
have proved to us at the Christchurch School
of Music, just how important music is to
our well-being, a sense of purpose and an
opportunity to communicate and collaborate
with others to create something very special.
It was wonderful for us to see the
excitement and enthusiasm of our students
on the first day back at rehearsals as soon
as we came out of Level 2. “ I didn’t realise
how much I loved orchestra until we went
into lockdown and I missed it so much”
Comments like this were very common
on the first day back. We may have had to
sanitise our hands, sit socially distanced
from our friends in the ensemble, spray our
chairs and stands between groups but it was
all worth it just to have the chance to make
music again.
The Christchurch School of Music is
a family-oriented community aimed at
providing quality music education in
and around Christchurch. We believe
passionately in the power of music to
promote well-being and joy in people’s
lives and we constantly strive to ensure our
kaupapa meets the needs of all the students
in our care.
On a Saturday morning the whole family
can find something to suit. Preschool and
junior school children can start their musical
journey by joining in our “Take Off with
Music” classes while older children and
adults may opt for lessons on a specific
instrument (including voice). Those who
already play are welcome to join in one
of the great ensembles which all take part
in regular concerts. Our students enjoy
ensembles in a wide range of genres from
classical through to choral, jazz, rock and
world music.
Age is no limit - our Late Starters
programme provides the opportunity for
adults to learn an instrument and join an
ensemble with other like-minded adults.
If Saturday isn’t an option, CSM also
offers a range of weekday opportunities
for learning and playing music and, if
affordability is an issue, CSM may be able to
offer a discount through funding provided
by the Rata Foundation and CERT.
Come and join us and start on a musical
journey that will bring joy for a lifetime.

Papanui High School - Preparing
students for their future
“Our aim is simple... to provide the best
education possible for every student.
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 co-curricular 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.

Ao o Horomaka. Warm greetings to the
Hornby High School community, and a
special welcome to those of you who
are new to our community.
Welcome to Hornby High School where
our vision is to be a ‘centre of creative
excellence he puna auaha’. That means
we endeavour to foster creativity in
everything we do: sports and science,
governance and teaching. To do that we
seek to equip students with the tools
they need to be creative, critical thinkers.
Our school whakatauki says:
Mā te huruhuru, ka rere te manu
‘Feathers enable the bird to fly’
Optimism is one of those qualities
that some have more than others. As
educators we always begin each year
with that sense of optimism about
what the year, the students, and the
community, will bring. For us that
optimism is grounded in what we have
experienced the year before, and our
plans for the year to come which reflect
those things that we can control.
For Hornby High School that sense of
optimism is well founded. Despite the
global events of 2020 we have pushed
for and experienced student success
as we have evolved our curriculum and
teacher practice to match the beautiful
buildings and facilities that we now use.
The new year will see us with
significantly improved sporting facilities
which are bound to be well used on
the back of the wonderful sporting
successes our students and their teams
achieved in 2020. Our main playing
fields will benefit from the newly
installed underground irrigation and the
resurfacing, and our all weather sports
turf will support quality practice and
performance for all ages.
And then there is the ongoing focus on
cultural and academic achievement
which continues to see students take
their place amongst the best. Join us in
our extraordinary journey.

Opening of Fourvière Block
at Catholic Cathedral
College
In October 2020 the community
of Catholic Cathedral College
gathered in the morning for
the blessing of our new admin
and classroom block, named
“Fourvière” because of the historic
connection of the Chapel in Lyon,
France, with both our founding
orders, the Sisters of Our Lady
of the Missions, and the Marist
Brothers.
The opening began with an
address from Matua Russ Caldwell,
representing Tuahiwi and Ngāi
Tahu, before Bishop Paul delivered
the Rite of Blessing. The cultural
