Rugby, BMX clubs mourn 

dedicated supporter 

• By Chris Barclay 

THE EXCITEMENT and 

anticipation for a new club 

rugby season was tempered by 

the loss of a consummate team 

man at Christchurch Park on 

Saturday, where players donned 

black armbands. 

And at Woodend on 

Sunday, the Christchurch 

Football Club’s golden oldies, 

The Gentlemen, also observed 

a minute’s silence to remember 

teammate Nigel Mahan. 

The death of the 50-year-old 

father of two from St Albans, 

following a heart attack on 

April 1, cast a shadow over the 

opening round of the club’s 

fixtures and the veteran’s first 

run around. 

Mahan represented North 

Otago as a centre, wing and 

fullback before moving to 

Christchurch in the late 1990s 

to play in the club’s social 

grades, initially for the Canardlys. 

“He leaves a massive hole in 

our teams and our club,” said 

Christchurch FC chairman 

Mark Thompson, a former 

teammate.

SORELY MISSED: The Christchurch Football Club has mourned the passing of player and administrator Nigel Mahan, seen 

here with ball in hand for The Gentlemen golden oldies team, who died suddenly before Easter. 

Stage Two is 

complete. On to 

the Final Stage! 

The refit at Bishopdale Unichem 

Pharmacy continues. With the new 

dispensary complete, final renovations 

are taking place. 

The pharmacy will remain OPEN 

throughout the refit and all products 

and services are available. 

Stay tuned for updates.

Community centre open 

A DECADE on from the 

Canterbury earthquakes, 

St Albans residents have a 

permanent new community 

centre to call their own. 

The new Kohinga St Albans 

Community Centre was officially 

opened at the weekend – 

the first permanent facility on its 

Colombo St site for a decade. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel opened 

the new $2.7 million community 

centre, situated on the 

block between Colombo St and 

Caledonian Rd on Saturday. 

Along with St Albans 

Residents’ Association chairman 

Jason Harvey, she also planted 

a tree on the site to mark the 

occasion. 

The 400 sq m building, which 

has a modern timber and glass 

facade includes a large hall and 

several meeting rooms for public 

use, a kitchen and an office. 

A working party made up 

of Papanui-Innes Community 

Board members and representatives 

from groups including 

SARA, Edgeware Business Association 

and St Albans School 

agreed on the community 

centre’s final floor plan. 

Dalziel said it is wonderful to 

see a permanent facility on the 

site again after the earthquakedamaged

HOME: Mayor Lianne Dalziel, Papanui-Innes Community 

Board members and the St Albans Residents’ Association 

officially opened the new Kohinga St Albans Community 

Centre last weekend. 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

Centre was demolished in July 

2011. 

“When the building that used 

to stand on this site was taken 

down after the earthquakes, we 

were fortunate to have Lions 

Club International step in to 

provide a temporary facility 

but this community has been 

without a permanent hub since 

the earthquakes,” she said. 

“This new building is an 

example of what can be achieved 

when various groups who know 

their community well work 

together collaboratively. 

“We’re pleased to partner 

with the St Albans Residents’ 

Association, which will continue 

to manage the centre. This will 

ensure it can continue to be a 

well-used, and much valued part 

of this community for years to 

come.” 

The new centre has a number 

of environmentally sustainable 

features including a high level 

of insulation, extensive northfacing 

glazing and low energy 

lighting. 

Accessibility is also an important 

feature, with broad spaces, 

wide doors and accessible 

change rooms. 

The original foundation stone 

that was salvaged when the original 

building was demolished 

is featured in the community 

centre. 

The contents of a time capsule 

unearthed during the demolition 

of the former building have 

also been placed on the site of 

the new facility. 

Said Harvey: “Many years 

have gone into the planning and 

construction of the new building. 

To see it all come together 

and finished is quite special. The 

purpose-built building is quite 

amazing, with spaces designed 

for all sorts of needs and uses. 

“Community groups will 

really benefit from the spaces 

available. Amenities like this 

are really important for communities 

to have a place suitable 

for cultural, educational and 

recreational activities.” 

New chaplain 

appointed at 

St Margaret’s 

STEPHANIE CLAY has plenty 

of experience behind her as 

St Margaret’s College newest 

chaplain. 

The reverend will provide spiritual 

and well-being 

support for the 

students, staff and 

community and 

joins the college 

from the Anglican 

Parish of Amberley 

where she has 

been vicar for five 

years. 

Facilitating 

Stephanie 

Clay 

positive growth in a holistic way 

through love, care, compassion and 

encouragement is something Clay 

said she feels passionately about 

and is looking forward to achieving 

this through worship, relationship 

building and outreach. 

The college’s executive principal, 

Diana Patchett said the role of 

chaplain was at the heart of the 

school. 

“Our college was founded 111 

years ago by Bishop Julius and 

while the Anglican faith remains at 

the heart of who we are, the work 

of the Chaplain far exceeds that of 

spirituality. 

Clay will join St Margaret’s 

College in July.

‘He leaves a massive hole’ 

•From page 1 

With boots clean and 

always at the ready, Mahan 

also coached and managed 

junior grades at the club before 

organising the golden oldies 

squad. 

He was also set to manage 

the premier reserve team this 

season. 

The Metro Premier side 

provided a fitting tribute, 

beating Burnside 26-11 while 

the premier reserves were also 

too strong for their Burnside 

counterparts, winning 38-19. 

“He gave plenty. He was 

always there to lend a hand or 

step up when no one else did,” 

Thompson said. 

Mahan was also mourned by 

the North Avon Christchurch 

BMX Club, which he joined in 

2005 when son Connor started 

competing. 

He was recently made a life 

member of the BMX club in 

recognition of his work in helping 

establish new facilities at 

the headquarters in Bexley after 

they were devastated by the 

earthquakes. 

“When the 2011 earthquakes 

hit and wrecked the facility, 

the club lost everything,” club 

president Mark Lewis said. 

“Nigel led the charge to pick 

up the pieces and start again, 

DRIVING FORCE: Nigel Mahan’s contribution was 

paramount as the North Avon Christchurch BMX Club 

got back in the saddle after 2011 earthquakes. 

guiding the club back to a 

successful hosting of the 2014 

South Island Titles on a ‘repaired’ 

track with generators 

and water carts. 

“At the same time, Nigel’s 

passion and drive was instrumental 

in securing funding for 

the construction of the fantastic 

new facility at the northern end 

of Bexley Reserve.” 

Although he had switched 

focus to rugby matters, Mahan 

was still remembered fondly at 

the BMX club. 

“Everyone who knew Nigel 

knows he was very supportive 

and had great advice,” rider 

Imanuel Abdel Malak said. 

“He supported from day one 

with my riding, right up to 

the most recent nationals (in 

Rotorua last month). We will all 

miss him dearly.” 

“He encouraged and supported 

every member from the 

littlest sprocket to the ones old 

enough to know better,” Lewis 

added. 

“He was the backbone to 

many large events and the 2020 

Nationals would not have been 

a success without him. 

“Nigel put his heart and soul 

into North Avon BMX and he 

played a huge part in so many 

club members’ lives. He will be 

sorely missed by the entire BMX 

community.” 

Mahan is also survived by his 

wife Nina, daughter Chantal 

and Connor. 

A reader responds to 

concerns that not all 

voices were heard over 

a contentious housing 

development in St Albans 

My neighbours and I – the 

“older households” referred to in 

last week’s front page article in 

Nor’West News – have indeed let 

our council know the reasons for 

our opposition to the Wolfbrook 

developments in Mersey and 

Westminster Sts, and they do 

not include the fact they are 

“medium density” housing. 

We have no beef either, with 

the people (statistically 60 per 

cent of whom will be renting 

from investor-landlords) who 

will live in them. 

What we are objecting to 

is their dominant, outsized, 

featureless, colourless, cookiecutter, 

brutalist, bunker-like 

appearance, with no room for 

children and minimal parking 

provision, which does not sit 

well in our older family-oriented 

suburb. 

We also object to the $520,000 

to $680,000 price tags for the 

very small one and two-bedroom 

apartments within these piles, 

being touted as “affordable housing.” 

There is a place for everything. 

Just as covenants would prevent 

us relocating our beautiful 

100-year-old character home 

to a new subdivision or to a 

designated housing complex site 

in the inner city, we expect the 

same sort of consideration, and 

we sincerely hope there will be 

no more of this current “style” of 

architecture in St Albans.

Teacher finds her voice through art 

• By Bea Gooding 

ANH QUE CHU knows a thing 

or two about how it feels to not 

be able to communicate what’s 

on her mind. 

As an art teacher for people 

with intellectual disabilities at 

the Art for Life Trust, she understood 

how much of a barrier 

language can be. 

Not knowing a word of English 

when she first moved to New 

Zealand in 1982 as a refugee following 

the Vietnam War made 

tasks such as getting a job that 

much more strenuous. 

But through art, she was able 

to find her voice and has enabled 

others to do the same. 

Said Chu: “When I first 

came here I couldn’t speak 

English, so I went to Teachers’ 

College in the hopes of getting 

a full-time job. But my English 

wasn’t good enough at the time, 

so I was very depressed. I just 

wanted to have a full-time job, 

but I couldn’t. 

“The only thing I was good at 

was practical art and demonstrations 

on how to paint.” 

When teaching in schools did 

not go to plan, she drew on her 

strengths by selling off drawings 

and paintings. 

She later graduated from 

Ara Institute of Technology in 

2000 with a Bachelor of Art and 

Design. 

After landing a full-time job 

privately teaching children and 

adults at Your Studio Trust for a 

number of years, Chu established 

the Art for Life in 2013. 

It provides art tuition to people 

of all ages who live with an intellectual 

disability. 

It did not matter if students 

had autism, Down’s syndrome, 

or attention deficit hyperactivity 

disorder – anyone could learn 

how to make art using acrylic 

and watercolour paint, ink pens 

or charcoal. 

At the end of year exhibition, 

it was also a chance to generate 

their own income by selling 

pieces they made. 

Art enabled them to express 

themselves and to learn more 

about colour therapy, but it was 

a safe and inclusive place to 

make friends while developing 

confidence, self-esteem and pride 

in their work.

SLOAN 

like high schools often meant the 

end goal was to make students’ 

art stand out, but at the trust, it 

was a different story. 

“Here, that’s not the goal – 

show them that you love them, 

care about them, and help them 

express their feelings,” said Chu. 

“A lot of students here can’t 

talk or hear, so you have to find 

a way to understand and help 

them communicate.” 

Becoming a teacher was something 

Chu fantasised about as a 

teenager, but she never expected 

to do so in another country. 

Chu was a 25-year-old art student 

when her family was forced 

to flee Hanoi, Vietnam, in 1979, 

four years after the Vietnam War 

ended. 

External tensions stemming 

from the country’s dispute with 

Cambodia and China in the 

years that followed caused a mass 

exodus of nearly 800,000 people 

– most of Chinese descent, just 

like Chu’s family. 

After seven days of being 

crammed in a boat with 396 

other refugees, they eventually 

made it to a refugee camp in 

Hong Kong. 

It was where she met her future 

husband, a New Zealander, who 

was working at the camp with 

the Salvation Army. 

Art has been a constant in 

her life since her teenage years. 

During the war, she was inspired 

by an encounter with two art 

students, who encouraged her to 

study at Hanoi Arts School. 

Now, Chu gets to live out her 

teaching dream in a field she 

is most passionate about while 

making a colourful impact 

within the disability community. 

“A good teacher follows the 

student. Usually, you try to get 

the students to follow you, but 

here, you follow them.”

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS 

New Marian College plans 

have community buzzing 

“WOW, WOW, WOW” was the common reaction from 

students, parents, and the wider community when Marian 

College unveiled the design of their new school due to open in 

Papanui in 2023. 

Marian College’s Catholic special character is front and 

centre of the design with a beautiful chapel, garden, and 

a prayer walk. It includes 26 full-sized flexible classrooms 

designed to promote innovative teaching, including specialist 

technology, music and performing arts areas. 

The grounds will be planted with native trees, shrubs, and 

edible gardens - reflective of the former Papanui Forest which 

once existed on the site. 

You are invited to learn more about what Marian College can 

offer at our Open Day on Tuesday, 11 May from 4pm to 7pm. 

Please visit our website or contact the team at Marian 

College to enrol your daughter for 2022 and beyond.

Hornby High School 

There will be an opportunity 

to meet the staff and have a 

guided tour of our new school. 

Commitment, Achievement, 

Resilience, Respect. 

180 Waterloo Road, Hornby 

Ph 03 349 5396 

www.hornby.school.nz 

When choosing the right school for 

our tamariki we often go by the ‘feeling’ 

we have when we visit, as much as by the 

programmes that schools have on offer. 

The world demands fewer people who can 

do repetitive tasks and more people who 

can think creatively and critically. That’s 

why our vision, our aspiration, as a school 

is to be ‘A centre of creative excellence’ 

in everything that we do, whether visual 

arts or chemistry, volleyball or music, 

management or curriculum organisation. 

In doing this we haven’t forgotten the 

importance of the strong relationships 

that we build with all of our students, and 

the importance of individualising learning 

pathways so that we come as close as we 

can to meeting every individual student’s 

needs. Hornby High School’s feeling is 

one of positive relationships that support 

learning. Students often comment that 

we feel like whānau, like family. Visitors 

without exception comment on the calm 

learning focussed environment that they 

see and feel when they visit our learning 

spaces. This all takes place within our 

amazing new facilities that are allowing 

us to develop a new curriculum crossing 

old subject boundaries and catering for 

individual needs, that support student 

passions, and help our students to grow 

their heart for their community. On top of 

that students always comment on the wide 

range of sporting and other activities that 

are on offer for them during their time at 

school. We emphasise our values, promoting 

the ethos of kindness, of manaaki. I 

personally invite you to come along and 

meet with our skilled staff, and the amazing 

young people who make Hornby High 

School such a wonderful place to be. 

Robin Sutton, Tumuaki




Christian Integrated Schools 

Working together for the good 

of students and families has been 

a successful recipe for Christian 

Integrated Schools in Christchurch. 

The Christian School Network 

has been in existence for over ten 

years. Aidanfield Christian School, 

Emmanuel Christian School, Hillview 

Christian School and Middleton 

Grange School decided in 2005 that 

there was much to be gained by 

working together cooperatively. They 

recognised opportunities to share 

successful teaching practice, curriculum 

development initiatives across a wide 

spectrum of school operations as well as 

cooperatively strengthening their special 

Christian Character. They recognised 

that their ability to serve students 

and families was greatly enhanced by 

working together in a close and trusting 

relationship. 

The success of the network has seen 

other schools wanting to join in. Early 

in the piece Rangiora New Life School 

became part of the network. The schools 

joined together to support the genesis 

of Ashburton Christian School and also 

culminated in the start up of a brand 

new school in Rolleston in 2015. 

The schools have developed 

interlocking enrolment schools which 

assists in providing transparent pathways 

in Christian education from new entrant 

through to Year 13. 

A further strength has been a 

cooperative engagement with the 

Ministry of Education who have 

been pivotal in assisting the networks 

successful development. 

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

Selwyn House 


Selwyn House School is the only school in 

Christchurch offering a girls’ only education 

from years 1 through to 8. We believe that 

combination, of a girls’ only education that 

takes students from their earliest school years 

right through to high school, is what gives our 

students the strongest start to their secondary 

education. 

Our carefully crafted programme focuses 

on developing ‘the total girl’, who has the 

confidence, resilience, foundational knowledge, 

creativity and compassion to succeed and lead 

in the future. We help students identify their 

own strengths and talents and tap into each girl’s 

unique potential so that they leave this school 

with the self-confidence and skill-set they need 

to thrive at secondary school and beyond. 

At Selwyn House we believe leaders are made, 

not born, and that is why we put a particular 

focus on leadership in the Senior School. In 

comparison to other intermediate or middle 

school high school programmes, our Year 7 and 

8 students have the distinct advantage of being 

the senior students in their school. Every girl 

has the opportunity to serve in leadership roles 

and the high number of Selwyn House students 

that then go on to assume leadership roles 

in their secondary schools, and later in their 

careers, speaks for itself. 

We understand girls at Selwyn House and 

we know how important it is for our students 

to feel supported and encouraged as they work 

through those crucial development stages 

between Years 1 and 8. Our students are able to 

negotiate these formative years within a safe and 

nurturing environment, where they are able to 

be themselves, safely challenge themselves, and 

develop a strong sense of self-worth. 

Learn more about what makes a Selwyn 

House School education the best start to 

school by attending our Open Day on Monday

HOME & HEATING 

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 

60 

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. 

Contact Smooth-Air on 0800 

SMOOTH or sales@smooth-air.co.nz 

for more information on the AirTouch4 

zone control. 

Get the balance 

right this winter 

Enviro Master has been helping 

Cantabrians get the balance right when it 

comes to choosing the perfect heat pump or 

air conditioning system for their home or 

office since 2002. 

Their team of expert sales people, qualified 

electricians, heating and refrigeration 

engineers, help to supply and install 

Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps, 

and because they have no affiliation with any 

one brand, you can be assured their advice 

on the benefits and differences between each 

product is unbiased. 

They will recommend the most energyefficient 

and cost-effective system for your 

individual situation, and will have you 

regulating the heat in your home or office in 

no time. 

Nowadays, customers are often wanting 

whole home solutions to be able to maintain 

even temperatures throughout the home both 

in Winter and Summer. This can be achieved 

by using ducted systems or multi systems 

and Enviro Master are experts in designing, 

installing and commissioning these systems. 

Help is currently available with a 

government subsidy covering 90 per cent of 

the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000. 

The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi 

Homes initiative and is available to Home 

owner/occupiers with a Community Services 

Card, a SuperGold combo card or who live in 

a low-income area as determined by deciles 


8-10 on the New Zealand Deprivation Index. 

The applicant’s home must also have been 

built before 2008, have insulation up to code 

(insulation subsidies also available) and have 

no fixed heating in a living area, such as an 

existing operational heat pump or fireplace. 

With new regulations coming in for 

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, 

now is a great time to beat the deadline. 

Inadequate heating and ventilation can lead 

to mould growth and dampness in your 

property, leading to costlier maintenance 

and an unhealthy living environment. 

Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat 

output and lower running costs, like a heat 

pump, will enable your tenants to heat the 

area effectively. Enviro Master are well 

experienced with the Tenancy Services 

software to ensure that you are meeting your 

requirements. 

To ensure you choose the right system for 

your home or business, one of Enviro Master’s 

experts will visit to assess your individual 

situation, offer advice and answer any 

questions you may have. This consultation 

is at no cost to the customer and is always 

provided before a heat pump is installed. 

Anyone wondering about their eligibility 

for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to 

get in touch for details and help with the 

application process. To find out more, call

TONY’S 

top tips 

ON HOW TO CHOOSE 

YOUR REAL ESTATE 

AGENT 

In a market like this, you could be forgiven for assuming anyone 

will buy your home at a good price. But there is a big difference 

between a good price and a great price and that normally comes 

down to your agent. 

Here are my top three tips on why choosing a Harcourts 

Holmwood agent is the best way to sell your home: 

1. SELL FOR A PREMIUM. It is VERY important to choose the 

right real estate agent to represent you and achieve the best 

for you in either buying or selling a home. Analysis by the Real 

Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) show that selling your 

property through a real estate agent achieves a premium of 

15% above those selling privately. 

2. ACCESS TO BUYERS. Every agent will have several buyers they 

are working with, and if you work with a Harcourts Holmwood 

agent in particular, you don’t just get their database, you get 

the buyer database of more than 500 agents who form part 

of the Harcourts network. In addition, their list of connections 

will include strong relationships with other real estate agents, 

mortgage specialists, as well as the many other parties involved 

in the real estate industry. 

3. NEGOTIATION SKILLS. As a seller you want to sell your home 

for a premium price, and the buyer wants to buy your home for 

a bargain price. Your agent is there to bridge that gap, and it is 

not as easy as we make it seem! At Holmwood we provide our 

agents weekly negotiation training and have secured mentoring 

from international experts in negotiation techniques, to make sure 

our team are the best in the business. This, combined with a great 

management team who are always available to assist, ensure the 

best results are achieved for our clients. 

These are just a few of the reasons why enlisting the help of a 

real estate agent is a more effective option when it comes to 

selling your biggest asset. It is true that no one has a crystal ball to 

predict the future, but I can guarantee, if you do your research you 

will agree that choosing a Holmwood real estate agent will bring 

you the best results. 

I’m immensely proud of our people and their exceptional service 

to our clients. If you are thinking of making a real estate decision, 

give me, or one of our agents a call today!
