Petition<br />

started in<br />

a bid to<br />

slow down<br />

speeding<br />

drivers<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

AVONDALE RESIDENTS are so<br />

sick of drivers speeding through<br />

their neighbourhood that they<br />

started a petition in a bid to crack<br />

down on it.<br />

The petition, which was signed<br />

by 37 people, was presented to the<br />

Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board this week by the Avondale<br />

Residents’ Association.<br />

General anti-social behaviour<br />

associated with drivers such as<br />

speeding and burnouts at night<br />

were just some of the concerns<br />

residents wanted authorities to<br />

address.<br />

Said Kathy Simmons, on behalf<br />

of the association at the board’s<br />

meeting: “We, the undersigned,<br />

residents of Briarmont St, would<br />

like to express our concerns<br />

regarding the constant and ongoing<br />

speeding drivers through our<br />

residential street and adjoining<br />

streets in Avondale.”<br />

Avondale Neighbours Group<br />

spokesman and Briarmont St<br />

resident Mike Gibbs said the community<br />

wanted judder bars and<br />

traffic cameras installed to slow<br />

drivers down. •Turn to page 3<br />

Plan for natural play area approved<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

CHILDREN USING a new<br />

playground in New Brighton will<br />

have a direct connection to the<br />

natural world once it has been<br />

completed.<br />

A landscape plan for a natural<br />

play area at Rawhiti Domain<br />

was recently approved by the<br />

Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board.<br />

A Government shovel-ready<br />

grant of $580,000 will help<br />

Eastern Community Sport and<br />

Recreation and the Guardians<br />

of Rawhiti to develop their joint<br />

vision for the area.<br />

“Nature play is the perfect<br />

place for imagination, exploration<br />

and physical play,” a city<br />

council staff report read.<br />

“There is research to support<br />

the positive links between<br />

direct experiences in nature and<br />

children’s mental, emotional and<br />

physical health and well-being.”<br />

The existing playground beside<br />

the tennis court will reach the<br />

end of its life within the next five<br />

to 10 years and will be removed<br />

once the time has come.<br />

An opportunity rose to enhance<br />

the domain as the area<br />

already had natural materials<br />

which can be used as playground<br />

equipment.<br />

Lower limbs on trees will be<br />

GOOD TO GO: The landscape plan for a new natural play area at Rawhiti Domain was<br />

recently approved by the Coastal-Burwood Community Board. ​<br />

kept on trees suitable for climbing<br />

and branches will be left<br />

behind for children to move and<br />

build shelters.<br />

The existing wooded sand<br />

dunes between the athletics<br />

track and golf course provided<br />

an area with “wild and natural<br />

character.”<br />

Currently used for exploring,<br />

walking and biking, it will be<br />

retained and enhanced with additional<br />

native plantings which<br />

will encourage butterflies to the<br />

area.<br />

Logs, stumps and boulders<br />

already there will be used as a<br />

feature for play, including an<br />

accessible fort, tee-pee village,<br />

slide, timber merry-go-round,<br />

log steps, net nests and a woodland<br />

garden.<br />

The play surface will be made<br />

from recycled rubber tyres. The<br />

amount of plastic in the play area<br />

will be limited.<br />

Using recycled plastic for park<br />

furniture such as seating and tables<br />

were considered, but timber<br />

was chosen to keep in character<br />

of the play space.<br />

However, additional shade,<br />

CCTV cameras, lighting, rubbish<br />

bins, a park barbecue and an<br />

area for wet play were outside<br />

the budget and scope for the<br />

project.<br />

Construction is expected to be<br />

completed by October this year.<br />

Concern<br />

people could<br />

be hit by cars<br />

• From page 1<br />

Pets had already been hit by<br />

“boy racers” travelling too fast<br />

on Briarmont St. Residents<br />

were concerned that it would<br />

a person or child next – even<br />

Gibbs himself was nearly struck<br />

by a blue mini-van while on the<br />

footpath.<br />

Taking photos of offending<br />

vehicles in the act as evidence<br />

proved difficult as most incidents<br />

occurred when it was dark<br />

outside.<br />

But since the Burwood <strong>Pegasus</strong><br />

Community Watch stepped<br />

up its presence in Avondale,<br />

residents felt safer as incidents<br />

became less frequent.<br />

“We’re all concerned about<br />

this, hopefully, there will be action<br />

at some point,” Gibbs said.<br />

Community board chairman<br />

Kelly Barber understood the<br />

problem having witnessed it<br />

himself.<br />

But he was concerned that<br />

the issue may become another<br />

community’s problem when<br />

steps were taken to reduce it in<br />

Avondale.<br />

“The best thing we can do is<br />

identifying those vehicles, taking<br />

photos of cars and reporting<br />

incidents [to police].”<br />

Teacher finds her voice through art<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

ANH QUE CHU knows a thing<br />

or two about how it feels to not<br />

be able to communicate what’s<br />

on her mind.<br />

As an art teacher for people<br />

with intellectual disabilities at<br />

the Art for Life Trust, she understood<br />

how much of a barrier<br />

language can be.<br />

Not knowing a word of English<br />

when she first moved to New<br />

Zealand in 1982 as a refugee following<br />

the Vietnam War made<br />

tasks such as getting a job that<br />

much more strenuous.<br />

But through art, she was able<br />

to find her voice and has enabled<br />

others to do the same.<br />

Said Chu: “When I first<br />

came here I couldn’t speak<br />

English, so I went to Teachers’<br />

College in the hopes of getting<br />

a full-time job. But my English<br />

wasn’t good enough at the time,<br />

so I was very depressed. I just<br />

wanted to have a full-time job,<br />

but I couldn’t.<br />

“The only thing I was good at<br />

was practical art and demonstrations<br />

on how to paint.”<br />

When teaching in schools did<br />

not go to plan, she drew on her<br />

strengths by selling off drawings<br />

and paintings.<br />

The Dallington woman later<br />

graduated from Ara Institute of<br />

Technology in 2000 with a Bachelor<br />

of Art and Design.<br />

After landing a full-time job<br />

privately teaching children and<br />

adults at Your Studio Trust for a<br />

number of years, Chu established<br />

the Art for Life in 2013.<br />

It provides art tuition to people<br />

of all ages who live with an intellectual<br />

disability.<br />

It did not matter if students<br />

had autism, Down’s syndrome,<br />

or attention deficit hyperactivity<br />

disorder – anyone could learn<br />

how to make art using acrylic<br />

and watercolour paint, ink pens<br />

or charcoal.<br />

At the end of year exhibition,<br />

it was also a chance to generate<br />

their own income by selling<br />

pieces they made.<br />

Art enabled them to express<br />

themselves and to learn more<br />

about colour therapy, but it was<br />

a safe and inclusive place to<br />

make friends while developing<br />

confidence, self-esteem and pride<br />

in their work.<br />

Teaching art in other places<br />

disabilities how<br />

to find their<br />

voices through<br />

art.<br />

SLOAN<br />

like high schools often meant the<br />

end goal was to make students’<br />

art stand out, but at the trust, it<br />

was a different story.<br />

“Here, that’s not the goal –<br />

show them that you love them,<br />

care about them, and help them<br />

express their feelings,” said Chu.<br />

“A lot of students here can’t<br />

talk or hear, so you have to find<br />

a way to understand and help<br />

them communicate.”<br />

Becoming a teacher was something<br />

Chu fantasised about as a<br />

teenager, but she never expected<br />

to do so in another country.<br />

Chu was a 25-year-old art student<br />

when her family was forced<br />

to flee Hanoi, Vietnam, in 1979,<br />

four years after the Vietnam War<br />

ended.<br />

External tensions stemming<br />

from the country’s dispute with<br />

Cambodia and China in the<br />

years that followed caused a mass<br />

exodus of nearly 800,000 people<br />

– most of Chinese descent, just<br />

like Chu’s family.<br />

After seven days of being<br />

crammed in a boat with 396<br />

other refugees, they eventually<br />

made it to a refugee camp in<br />

Hong Kong.<br />

It was where she met her future<br />

husband, a New Zealander, who<br />

was working at the camp with<br />

the Salvation Army.<br />

Art has been a constant in<br />

her life since her teenage years.<br />

During the war, she was inspired<br />

by an encounter with two art<br />

students, who encouraged her to<br />

study at Hanoi Arts School.<br />

Now, Chu gets to live out her<br />

teaching dream in a field she<br />

is most passionate about while<br />

making a colourful impact<br />

within the disability community.<br />

“A good teacher follows the<br />

student. Usually, you try to get<br />

the students to follow you, but<br />

here, you follow them.”<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />

Zone Control for your<br />

Ducted heat pump<br />

Ducted heat pumps are a highly efficient<br />

way to heat (or cool) your home. The<br />

air from the heat pump is ducted to<br />

several rooms or zones in your house.<br />

Using a zone control system makes your<br />

ducted heat pump even more efficient, by<br />

specifying the amount of heat required<br />

in each area, so not wasting energy to<br />

overheat or overcool any room.<br />

The AirTouch4 zone control system<br />

from Smooth-Air takes ducted heat pump<br />

air zoning to a whole new level of comfort<br />

and energy efficiency.<br />

AirTouch4 - The Ultimate Zone<br />

Control<br />

Have total control of your comfort zone:<br />

AirTouch4 lets everyone enjoy a different<br />

level of conditioned air in the room they<br />

are in.<br />

Save money on the power bill, without<br />

compromising on comfort, by only<br />

running the heating or cooling where<br />

you need it with Smart Zoning. Plus with<br />

runtime tracking, energy and airflow<br />

management technology, you can enjoy<br />

greater efficiency and savings from your<br />

family’s ducted heat pump.<br />

The AirTouch4 can also connect to<br />

Google Home and Amazon Alexa.<br />

Not every home is designed equal. Not<br />

every room is either. 60 % Temperatures can<br />

often fluctuate from one room to the next<br />

because of sunlight, room activity or other<br />

factors.<br />

With AirTouch4’s Individual<br />

Temperature Control Technology (ITC),<br />

the AirTouch monitors temperatures<br />

and smartly adjusts airflow as needed<br />

around your home with the aid of multiple<br />

wireless temperature sensors instead of a<br />

single sensor in one location. When some<br />

rooms get too hot or cold, the AirTouch<br />

will adjust airflow to maintain your desired<br />

temperature, without wasting conditioned<br />

air on rooms already comfortable.<br />

Contact Smooth-Air on 0800<br />

zone control.<br />

Get the balance<br />

right this winter<br />

Enviro Master has been helping<br />

Cantabrians get the balance right when it<br />

comes to choosing the perfect heat pump or<br />

air conditioning system for their home or<br />

office since 2002.<br />

Their team of expert sales people, qualified<br />

electricians, heating and refrigeration<br />

engineers, help to supply and install<br />

Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps,<br />

and because they have no affiliation with any<br />

one brand, you can be assured their advice<br />

on the benefits and differences between each<br />

product is unbiased.<br />

They will recommend the most energyefficient<br />

and cost-effective system for your<br />

individual situation, and will have you<br />

regulating the heat in your home or office in<br />

no time.<br />

Nowadays, customers are often wanting<br />

whole home solutions to be able to maintain<br />

even temperatures throughout the home both<br />

in Winter and Summer. This can be achieved<br />

by using ducted systems or multi systems<br />

and Enviro Master are experts in designing,<br />

installing and commissioning these systems.<br />

Help is currently available with a<br />

government subsidy covering 90 per cent of<br />

the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000.<br />

The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi<br />

Homes initiative and is available to Home<br />

owner/occupiers with a Community Services<br />

Card, a SuperGold combo card or who live in<br />

a low-income area as determined by deciles<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

8-10 on the New Zealand Deprivation Index.<br />

The applicant’s home must also have been<br />

built before 2008, have insulation up to code<br />

(insulation subsidies also available) and have<br />

no fixed heating in a living area, such as an<br />

existing operational heat pump or fireplace.<br />

With new regulations coming in for<br />

Landlords to provide heating in rentals,<br />

now is a great time to beat the deadline.<br />

Inadequate heating and ventilation can lead<br />

to mould growth and dampness in your<br />

property, leading to costlier maintenance<br />

and an unhealthy living environment.<br />

Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat<br />

output and lower running costs, like a heat<br />

pump, will enable your tenants to heat the<br />

area effectively. Enviro Master are well<br />

experienced with the Tenancy Services<br />

software to ensure that you are meeting your<br />

requirements.<br />

To ensure you choose the right system for<br />

your home or business, one of Enviro Master’s<br />

experts will visit to assess your individual<br />

situation, offer advice and answer any<br />

questions you may have. This consultation<br />

is at no cost to the customer and is always<br />

provided before a heat pump is installed.<br />

Anyone wondering about their eligibility<br />

for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to<br />

“Bring back the girls!”, after their performance! Here we saw all that is authentically good in<br />

our young people today. The fabulousness of skill and music, fun and talent was showcased by<br />

schools from all over Canterbury, and Malborough.<br />

It was not a competition in essence, but it was evident that each school was reaching new<br />

heights of excellence and entertainment, as Shirley Boys High so ably showed with their<br />

stunning, exuberant and highly skilled performance. They roared on stage, lifting the roof with<br />

their routine. It was a joy to be there to witness such unity and super fast hand actions, and<br />

choreography. The screams, shouts and applause from the audience echoed the tremendous<br />

appreciation we all felt for their hard work and skill. But it was not only them, but<br />

Novel Success for Linwood<br />

College Business Student<br />

“Who we are” helping inform “what we do”<br />

Linwood College at Ōtākaro has been motivating<br />

students to find and forge their own unique and<br />

exciting pathways through the senior Business<br />

Studies course. The rich cultural diversity of the<br />

school is embraced and students are also using this<br />

to inform their new product and marketing ideas.<br />

Partnering with the Young Enterprise Scheme, the<br />

school has picked up a number of awards in the<br />

competition and also helped usher several students<br />

along paths to setting up their own businesses and<br />

studying in universities.<br />

Students from many different countries and<br />

backgrounds has been a real source of strength<br />

for the school and this has<br />

been reflected in the successful<br />

business teams. Abdullah Wahidi<br />

is one such student whose<br />

business team created a children’s<br />

book that advocates for diversity.<br />

The book garnered national media<br />

attention and can now be enjoyed<br />

by children in local libraries<br />

throughout Christchurch.<br />

Abdullah was born in Afghanistan<br />

and later moved with his family to<br />

Pakistan before settling in New<br />

Zealand in 2018 and becoming an<br />

LCŌ student. In his senior year,<br />

his Business Studies class had to<br />

come up with ideas for a project to<br />

enter in the Lion Foundation Young<br />

Abdullah and his brother Abbas Wahidi<br />

at Linwood’s Festival of Nations.<br />

Enterprise Scheme. It was Abdullah’s hope that he<br />

could to do something to address intolerance towards<br />

other cultures. His community had been severely<br />

traumatised by the recent 2019 Mosque attacks, and<br />

he wanted to find a way forward towards healing and<br />

coming together. “The staff, the students and all the<br />

people at Linwood College have always respected<br />

other cultures and were proud of being a diverse<br />

college. Though there were only few students from<br />

Afghanistan, LCŌ always recognised us and made<br />

us feel a part of them by putting the Afghanistan flag<br />

up on our Festival of Nations day and by encouraging<br />

us to wear our traditional clothes.”<br />

He teamed up with Paigan Watson-<br />

Hall, along with classmates Josh<br />

Stiles and Luka Russell. They<br />

decided to create a children’s<br />

book featuring tales from around<br />

the world in the hope of inspiring<br />

families to take a more openminded<br />

view of different cultures. A<br />

$1000 grant from the Christchurch<br />

City Council Community Activation<br />

Fund gave the students the<br />

financial boost they needed to get<br />

the ball rolling.<br />

The first-print run of the book was<br />

completely sold-out within two<br />

weeks. Their success was picked<br />

up in the national media who<br />

celebrated the uniqueness of their<br />

ADVERTISEMENT<br />

product and vision. The book can also now be found<br />

in several libraries around Christchurch. Additionally,<br />

the senior Business Studies students were presented<br />

with the excellence award for customer and market<br />

engagement at the Young Enterprise regional finals.<br />

This year Abdullah is a Bachelor of Commerce student<br />

at Lincoln University, majoring in marketing with a<br />

minor in supply chain management. He is also part<br />

of the Future Leader Scholarship Programme, which<br />

provides students with opportunities to contribute to<br />

the community. “I am the first in the family to study<br />

at a university, so it was very exciting for me and my<br />

family. I had a lot of tertiary education options but<br />

chose Lincoln for the Future Leader Scholarship,<br />

which is a program that is connected to what I want<br />

to be in the future.”<br />

When choosing the right school for<br />

our tamariki we often go by the ‘feeling’<br />

we have when we visit, as much as by the<br />

programmes that schools have on offer.<br />

The world demands fewer people who can<br />

do repetitive tasks and more people who<br />

can think creatively and critically. That’s<br />

why our vision, our aspiration, as a school<br />

is to be ‘A centre of creative excellence’<br />

in everything that we do, whether visual<br />

arts or chemistry, volleyball or music,<br />

management or curriculum organisation.<br />

In doing this we haven’t forgotten the<br />

importance of the strong relationships<br />

that we build with all of our students, and<br />

the importance of individualising learning<br />

pathways so that we come as close as we<br />

can to meeting every individual student’s<br />

needs. Hornby High School’s feeling is<br />

one of positive relationships that support<br />

learning. Students often comment that<br />

we feel like whānau, like family. Visitors<br />

without exception comment on the calm<br />

learning focussed environment that they<br />

see and feel when they visit our learning<br />

spaces. This all takes place within our<br />

amazing new facilities that are allowing<br />

us to develop a new curriculum crossing<br />

old subject boundaries and catering for<br />

individual needs, that support student<br />

passions, and help our students to grow<br />

their heart for their community. On top of<br />

that students always comment on the wide<br />

range of sporting and other activities that<br />

are on offer for them during their time at<br />

school. We emphasise our values, promoting<br />

the ethos of kindness, of manaaki. I<br />

personally invite you to come along and<br />

meet with our skilled staff, and the amazing<br />

young people who make Hornby High<br />

School such a wonderful place to be.<br />

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />

Christian Integrated Schools<br />

Working together for the good<br />

of students and families has been<br />

a successful recipe for Christian<br />

Integrated Schools in Christchurch.<br />

The Christian School Network<br />

has been in existence for over ten<br />

years. Aidanfield Christian School,<br />

Emmanuel Christian School, Hillview<br />

Christian School and Middleton<br />

Grange School decided in 2005 that<br />

there was much to be gained by<br />

working together cooperatively. They<br />

recognised opportunities to share<br />

successful teaching practice, curriculum<br />

development initiatives across a wide<br />

spectrum of school operations as well as<br />

cooperatively strengthening their special<br />

Christian Character. They recognised<br />

that their ability to serve students<br />

and families was greatly enhanced by<br />

working together in a close and trusting<br />

relationship.<br />

The success of the network has seen<br />

other schools wanting to join in. Early<br />

in the piece Rangiora New Life School<br />

became part of the network. The schools<br />

joined together to support the genesis<br />

of Ashburton Christian School and also<br />

culminated in the start up of a brand<br />

new school in Rolleston in 20<strong>15</strong>.<br />

The schools have developed<br />

interlocking enrolment schools which<br />

assists in providing transparent pathways<br />

in Christian education from new entrant<br />

through to Year 13.<br />

A further strength has been a<br />

cooperative engagement with the<br />

Ministry of Education who have<br />

been pivotal in assisting the networks<br />

successful development.<br />

Papanui High School<br />

Preparing students<br />

for their future<br />

“Our aim is simple... to provide the best<br />

education possible for every student”<br />

Giving students the opportunity to<br />

study from an innovative and broad curriculum<br />

is critical to providing each student<br />

a pathway that meets their individual<br />

needs. We allow for a greater range<br />

and flexibility in subject choice including<br />

the utilization of the secondary/tertiary<br />

interface. This reinforces the philosophy<br />

underpinning personalised learning and<br />

is strongly supported by understanding<br />

our students’ interests, passions, talents,<br />

and ultimately their career aspirations.<br />

We understand that for effective<br />

learning to take place, it has to be implemented<br />

in such a way that students will<br />

be highly engaged. The school does this<br />

in a ‘forward thinking’ way by creating<br />

learning environments that allow our<br />

students to see value in what they do<br />

and achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” is what<br />

we represent and we demonstrate this<br />

by having young adults leave our school<br />

as confident learners who have gained<br />

the appropriate qualifications and social<br />

skills to become valued contributing<br />

members of society.<br />

All that we do here is reinforced by<br />

positive relationships, an ethos of caring,<br />

cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and<br />

high expectations – what we call “Our<br />

Full service Model”. The school highly<br />

values the connectedness of curricular<br />

and co-curricular learning. We have a<br />

philosophical understanding that the<br />

holistic development of the student is<br />

critical to their individual success.<br />

The school has worked hard to consolidate<br />

recent initiatives to ensure sustained<br />

and continuous improvement. You<br />

are invited to view our website, school<br />

charter, ERO report, and/or contact the<br />

school for more information.<br />

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />

Selwyn House<br />

PEGASUS POST<br />

Selwyn House School is the only school in<br />

Christchurch offering a girls’ only education<br />

from years 1 through to 8. We believe that<br />

combination, of a girls’ only education that<br />

takes students from their earliest school years<br />

right through to high school, is what gives our<br />

students the strongest start to their secondary<br />

education.<br />

Our carefully crafted programme focuses<br />

on developing ‘the total girl’, who has the<br />

confidence, resilience, foundational knowledge,<br />

creativity and compassion to succeed and lead<br />

in the future. We help students identify their<br />

own strengths and talents and tap into each girl’s<br />

unique potential so that they leave this school<br />

with the self-confidence and skill-set they need<br />

to thrive at secondary school and beyond.<br />

At Selwyn House we believe leaders are made,<br />

not born, and that is why we put a particular<br />

focus on leadership in the Senior School. In<br />

comparison to other intermediate or middle<br />

school high school programmes, our Year 7 and<br />

8 students have the distinct advantage of being<br />

the senior students in their school. Every girl<br />

has the opportunity to serve in leadership roles<br />

and the high number of Selwyn House students<br />

that then go on to assume leadership roles<br />

in their secondary schools, and later in their<br />

careers, speaks for itself.<br />

We understand girls at Selwyn House and<br />

we know how important it is for our students<br />

to feel supported and encouraged as they work<br />

through those crucial development stages<br />

between Years 1 and 8. Our students are able to<br />

negotiate these formative years within a safe and<br />

nurturing environment, where they are able to<br />

be themselves, safely challenge themselves, and<br />

develop a strong sense of self-worth.<br />

Learn more about what makes a Selwyn<br />

House School education the best start to<br />

school by attending our Open Day on Monday<br />

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />

Villa Maria College<br />

Villa Maria College is a state integrated<br />

Catholic secondary school for girls<br />

in Years 7 to 13. The foundation for<br />

everything we do is our Catholic faith,<br />

which we express through our Mercy<br />

charism. Villa Maria College offers<br />

spiritual formation and pastoral care<br />

in the tradition of Catherine McAuley,<br />

the founder of the Sisters of Mercy, who<br />

established the College in 1918.<br />

Our Mission is to: “Empower each<br />

young woman to determine her<br />

potential, live Gospel values, confidently<br />

embrace life-long learning and as a<br />

Mercy woman be inspired to make a<br />

difference”.<br />

We have a proud academic history,<br />

achieving academic results that are<br />

among the best in the country. Girls are<br />

encouraged to stretch themselves and<br />

work towards individual goals, so they<br />

fulfil their potential. A good education<br />

has balance, and our strong academic<br />

programme is combined with varied cocurricular<br />

activities, encompassing sport,<br />

cultural and musical programmes.<br />

We invite you to attend our Open<br />

Day on Wednesday 19 May <strong>2021</strong> and<br />

experience our special character for<br />

yourself. You will also find a wealth<br />

of information on our website – www.<br />

villa.school.nz<br />

St Bede’s College<br />

Founded over 100 years ago, St Bede’s<br />

College is the South Island’s most<br />

established Catholic Boys’ Boarding<br />

School. Our vision is to create Catholic<br />

Marist leaders of the future who serve<br />

with a Catholic heart, mind and hands.<br />

Our teaching and learning programmes<br />

are an important component of this, with<br />

programmes designed to ensure each<br />

boy engages with, and receives a holistic<br />

education that reflects their individual<br />

needs, interests, hopes and aspirations.<br />

We further support this vision with a<br />

deliberate focus on educating the whole<br />

person through high quality pastoral and<br />

guidance systems, servant leadership<br />

programmes and positive psychology<br />

frameworks.<br />

Sport at St Bede’s is characterised by all<br />

students achieving personal excellence<br />

through their commitment to challenge<br />

themselves whilst being supported by<br />

high quality coaching and first-class<br />

facilities. We are proud that over 85% of<br />

our young men are engaged in any of our<br />

33 co-curricular activities for sport.<br />

We offer a broad Arts and Culture<br />

programme inclusive of drama, music,<br />

dance, debating, visual arts, Polyfest<br />

and Kapa Haka. Whatever the area of<br />

ability, all students at St Bede’s College<br />

are encouraged to develop and use their<br />

God-given talents for the good of others.<br />

We have a long-standing tradition<br />

of providing quality boarding school<br />

education, with spacious grounds and<br />

many facilities available to use and<br />

benefit from. The strong culture of St<br />

Bede’s College encourages a sense of<br />

community that extends beyond current<br />

students to include all past and present<br />

students and staff, and their families,<br />

enriched through global connections in<br />

faith, learning and culture.<br />

Wednesday 19 May <strong>2021</strong>, 9am - 3pm<br />

Villa Maria College is a<br />

state integrated<br />

Catholic secondary<br />

school for girls in years<br />

7 - 13.<br />

We extend a warm<br />

invitation to<br />

prospective parents<br />

and students to join<br />

us throughout the day<br />

and see our College in<br />

action.<br />

Meet our staff and students and find out<br />

what makes Villa Maria College such a special place.<br />

Principal Deborah Brosnahan and our student leaders will address<br />

visitors in the Auditorium at the following times: 9am and 1pm for<br />

Year 9 intake, and 11am for Year 7 intake. Visitors are then invited to<br />

take a guided tour of the College. We look forward to seeing you.<br />
