loud noise 

at council 

events 

• By Bea Gooding 

IN THE days that followed two 

popular community events, 

Paul McMahon’s ears were still 

ringing. 

The music was so loud at the 

Woolston Gala and Waltham 

Summer Pool’s final day celebrations 

that his nine-year-old son 

with autism could not stand to be 

there. 

The Woolston resident has attended 

the gala each year since 

2010 and claims the music has 

never been as loud as he described. 

He is now calling for the city 

council to adopt an “evidencebased, 

health-led policy” on music 

at events that protects hearing and 

promotes community connection. 

Said McMahon, in a letter to 

the Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board: “I think if I 

had made a noise control complaint, 

they would’ve been told to 

turn it down as I could hear it at 

my house [which is] 400m away 

across the river – it was at least a 

third too loud. • Turn to page 3

Creative junk recyclers 

to benefit from grant 

GAIL CARSON literally has 

a “feel” for creating a valuable 

resource from discarded junk. 

For more than 20 years, Carson 

has picked over the items 

on offer at non-profit recycling 

space Creative Junk to put 

together tactile books for blind 

and low-vision children. 

She said that the craft items 

“are not junk at all,” describing 

the organisation as “a wonderful 

place where resources are recycled 

and reused.” 

“I visited Creative Junk for 

more than 20 years, having run a 

volunteer group that makes tactile 

– feel and touch – books for 

local blind and visually impaired 

children.” 

Creative Junk, which saves 

a huge range of potentially 

landfill-bound items for recycling, 

has recently benefited 

from a $9750 grant from the city 

council’s Strengthening Communities 

Fund. 

Now retired and a volunteer, 

Carson said she “spent a lot of 

time searching the shelves for 

anything to help make the tactile 

books.” 

“I was always looking for red 

leather for animal tongues or 

SUSTAINABILITY: Co-ordinator Christine Gayton sorts 

through a range of colourful items at Creative Junk. 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

green leather for frogs,” she 

said. 

For 40 years, the organisation 

has promoted the importance of 

recycling through creative and 

imaginative use. 

Children, early childhood 

education centres, schools and 

recreations groups and those 

with disabilities all make the 

most of the space and on-site 

activities. 

Co-ordinator Christine Gayton 

said that the charity “shows 

people how to create heaps of 

wonderful things and even 

potentially grow a business while 

developing their skills. 

“We only make a small 

portion of our income through 

the sale of resources and rely on 

the generosity of the community 

to remain open – so the council 

grant is very valuable for day-today 

costs and many communityfocused 

activities,’’ Gayton said. 

‘For many people, having 

music that loud is disabling’ 

• From page 1 

“My chief concern is for the 

children – we know a lot about 

the dangers of loud music that 

we didn’t know growing up and 

I don’t think it is acceptable for 

council events to subject 

children to it.” 

McMahon said 

his nine-year-old 

son generally loves 

Woolston Park, but 

he could not handle 

being there for a few 

minutes. 

“While he is autistic 

and very sensitive to 

loud noise, he also likes 

music and I would’ve 

usually expected him to want 

to stay at the park for at least a 

little while,” he said. 

“But he was blocking his ears 

on account of the music being 

so loud. For many people, having 

music that loud is disabling.” 

Furthermore, he was 

concerned the loud music 

“impinges” on conversations 

and connections people made 

at such events, describing it as 

more like “being in a bar” than 

being at a picnic. 

Community board chairwoman 

Alexandra Davids 

attended both events and said 

Alexandra 

Davids 

although the music was loud, it 

wasn’t “too” loud. 

Woolston Park was a bigger 

area to cover sound-wise hence 

the loud volumes, and at the 

pool party, “you’ve got a whole 

bunch of young people 

and is catering to the 

masses.” 

“Personally, I don’t think 

it was too loud for myself, 

but there are people in 

the community where it 

affects [them] more than 

others,” she said. 

“It’s really good to 

start those conversations 

because if we don’t know, 

then we can’t do anything 

about it. We can monitor it, and 

it’s an opportunity to see if we’re 

missing something policy-wise.” 

City council head of regulatory 

compliance Tracey Weston 

said the council’s noise control 

service did not receive any complaints 

about the events. 

“People are able to make 

complaints about noise from 

council events in the same 

manner that they would 

complain about other noise, 

as the same rules apply to all 

situations,” she said. 

“There is no specific policy for 

council events.”

Novel Success for Linwood 

College Business Student 

“Who we are” helping inform “what we do” 

Linwood College at Ōtākaro has been motivating 

students to find and forge their own unique and 

exciting pathways through the senior Business 

Studies course. The rich cultural diversity of the 

school is embraced and students are also using this 

to inform their new product and marketing ideas. 

Partnering with the Young Enterprise Scheme, the 

school has picked up a number of awards in the 

competition and also helped usher several students 

along paths to setting up their own businesses and 

studying in universities. 

Students from many different countries and 

backgrounds has been a real source of strength 

for the school and this has 

been reflected in the successful 

business teams. Abdullah Wahidi 

is one such student whose 

business team created a children’s 

book that advocates for diversity. 

The book garnered national media 

attention and can now be enjoyed 

by children in local libraries 

throughout Christchurch. 

Abdullah was born in Afghanistan 

and later moved with his family to 

Pakistan before settling in New 

Zealand in 2018 and becoming an 

LCŌ student. In his senior year, 

his Business Studies class had to 

come up with ideas for a project to 

enter in the Lion Foundation Young 

Abdullah and his brother Abbas Wahidi 

at Linwood’s Festival of Nations. 

Enterprise Scheme. It was Abdullah’s hope that he 

could to do something to address intolerance towards 

other cultures. His community had been severely 

traumatised by the recent 2019 Mosque attacks, and 

he wanted to find a way forward towards healing and 

coming together. “The staff, the students and all the 

people at Linwood College have always respected 

other cultures and were proud of being a diverse 

college. Though there were only few students from 

Afghanistan, LCŌ always recognised us and made 

us feel a part of them by putting the Afghanistan flag 

up on our Festival of Nations day and by encouraging 

us to wear our traditional clothes.” 

He teamed up with Paigan Watson- 

Hall, along with classmates Josh 

Stiles and Luka Russell. They 

decided to create a children’s 

book featuring tales from around 

the world in the hope of inspiring 

families to take a more openminded 

view of different cultures. A 

$1000 grant from the Christchurch 

City Council Community Activation 

Fund gave the students the 

financial boost they needed to get 

the ball rolling. 

The first-print run of the book was 

completely sold-out within two 

weeks. Their success was picked 

up in the national media who 

celebrated the uniqueness of their 

ADVERTISEMENT 

product and vision. The book can also now be found 

in several libraries around Christchurch. Additionally, 

the senior Business Studies students were presented 

with the excellence award for customer and market 

engagement at the Young Enterprise regional finals. 

This year Abdullah is a Bachelor of Commerce student 

at Lincoln University, majoring in marketing with a 

minor in supply chain management. He is also part 

of the Future Leader Scholarship Programme, which 

provides students with opportunities to contribute to 

the community. “I am the first in the family to study 

at a university, so it was very exciting for me and my 

family. I had a lot of tertiary education options but 

chose Lincoln for the Future Leader Scholarship, 

which is a program that is connected to what I want 

to be in the future.”

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. 

The Dallington woman 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. 

Teaching art in other places

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.” 

Party held to celebrate tiny forest’s birthday 

NESTLED ON the banks of the 

Heathcote River in St Martins is 

the King George V Reserve. 

It has just turned 30, and 

the community marked the 

occasion with a birthday celebration 

as a Neighbourhood Week 

event. 

This included a homemade 

birthday cake with candles and 

singing “happy birthday” to the 

forest. 

The celebration was held at 

the adjacent St Martins scout 

den and a wide range of ages 

participated. 

“We need to celebrate our local 

places that we love,” said organiser 

Mark Gibson. 

“During Covid, many of us 

have explored our local neighbourhoods 

like never before and 

discovered their immense value 

in making our neck of the woods 

much better places to live.” 

King George V Reserve was a 

Treaty of Waitangi sesquicentennial 

natural heritage project and 

was planted in 1990-91. So, the 

event was blessed by Maui Stuart 

from Rapaki. 

He also spoke briefly about the 

strong historic connection that 

mana whenua has with this area 

especially in terms of mahinga 

kai. 

The tiny forest is near the start 

of the Rapaki Track. 

A feature of the event was 

a weaving workshop run by 

the Kahu Collective. This was 

particularly popular with 

children. 

The original designer of the 

“forest” was Dr Colin Meurk, 

and he led a walk through it. 

Members of the Cashmere 

High Student Volunteer Army 

assisted on the day and played a 

big role in planting more trees. 

“This was one of the exciting 

elements of the day,” Gibson said. 

“Much of the original forest 

was planted by students from 

that school so it was appropriate 

that another generation plant the 

next generation of trees.” 

The event also marked the 

launch of a new Regenerative 

Communities Pilot project led 

by Flourish Kia Puawai Social 

Enterprise. 

People who are interested 

in ongoing involvement in the 

life of the forest and this new 

initiative are encouraged to

Kirkwood Intermediate 

School of Choice 

Celebrating Kirkwood 

House Captains for 2021 

Year 7 Camp 

Our Year 7 pupils have recently 

attended a camp at Purau Bay. 

This is a great way for the children 

to get to know each other. 

Swimming in the 

ocean on the first day of 

camp and picking up rubbish 

in Governors Bay, for left over 

chocolates, was my favourite part 

of camp. 

I learnt that Rippa Island existed, 

and I learnt the island’s past uses. 

I also learnt a lot more about 

the Māori culture in and 

around Ripapa. 

From the left: Blake, Indianna, Varley, Connor, James, Marcella, Niamh 

and Oscar 

House Captains for Mansfield/Hillary 

Varley C - Ex Springston School 

The things I like about Kirkwood Intermediate School are swimming and 

technology. This year I would like to inspire other students and take on new 

opportunities. The reason I wanted to be a House Captain was to gain more 

confidence in speaking to others and to try new things. 

James B - Ex Springston School 

I like Kirkwood Intermediate School for the sport opportunities that it offers. 

This year I would like to be the best sports boy. The reason for wanting to 

become a House Captain is that it will test and improve my leadership skills. 

My favourite part of camp 

was the abseiling because 

it was fun basically walking 

down a cliff. 

On camp we learnt how to 

turn the canoe. 

House Captains for Sheppard/Freyberg 

Marcella C - Ex Lincoln Primary School 

I like Kirkwood Intermediate School for the opportunities that the school has 

to offer, for example, extension opportunities and the sports options. This 

year I would like to run fundraisers to improve the image and enjoyment of 

school. I wanted to be a House Captain to gain more confidence in myself 

and to make a difference by sharing my opinions. 

Connor C - Ex Hoon Hay School 

Kirkwood Intermediate School gives you many opportunities to try new 

things. This year I would like to make Kirkwood Intermediate School a better 

place. I wanted to become a House Captain so I could help people and it 

gives me a good chance of trying something new. 

House Captains for Britten/Te Kanawa 

Indianna M - Ex Clearview Primary 

One of the things I like about Kirkwood is the old fashion feel, I also love 

that all the students get many opportunities offered to them. This year my 

goal was to become a House Captain and now that I have achieved that my 

new goal is to be a great leader so all of the students will have a great year. 

The reason for becoming a House Captain is because it would boost my 

confidence, encourage me to become a better person and be a good role 

model for others. 

Abseiling was my favourite 

part of camp because it was 

fun, challenging and a new 

experience. I thought that I 

wouldn’t go the whole way 

down but I did! 

My favourite part of 

Purau Bay Camp was when 

we played ‘Kick the Can’. It was 

really funny watching people run 

in other people’s clothes and the 

seeker was so confused. 

I learnt how to canoe, put on 

the abseiling harness and 

how to wash dishes. 

Blake N - Ex Dunsandel Primary School 

I like the range of subjects available at Kirkwood Intermediate School. This 

year as a House Captain I want to make the school a better place. I would 

like to help people and do my best to make a difference to the school. 

House Captains for Rutherford/Batten 

Niamh L - Ex Burnham Primary School 

I enjoy Kirkwood Intermediate as there are many opportunities you can 

take part in, for example, EPro8 (Inter-school Science and Engineering 

Competition), Science badges and much more. I would like to organise 

more fun days and sports days so this year can be memorable. I wanted to 

become a House Captain to gain more confidence and improve my public 

speaking. I am also a great leader. 

Oscar M - Ex South Hornby 

The part I like about Kirkwood Intermediate is that it is bigger than my 

previous school and it has great staff. This year I want to make it a happier 

place and make it exciting for those new to Kirkwood, especially those who 

are quieter. I have not taken on many opportunities in the past. The teacher 

I had last year said I would make a good leader so I thought I would take on 

this opportunity.

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. 

Enrolment applications for Year 9 2022 close on Friday, 30 July.

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.

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 

SOUTHERN VIEW 

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

Villa Maria College 

Villa Maria College is a state integrated 

Catholic secondary school for girls 

in Years 7 to 13. The foundation for 

everything we do is our Catholic faith, 

which we express through our Mercy 

charism. Villa Maria College offers 

spiritual formation and pastoral care 

in the tradition of Catherine McAuley, 

the founder of the Sisters of Mercy, who 

established the College in 1918. 

Our Mission is to: “Empower each 

young woman to determine her 

potential, live Gospel values, confidently 

embrace life-long learning and as a 

Mercy woman be inspired to make a 

difference”. 

We have a proud academic history, 

achieving academic results that are 

among the best in the country. Girls are 

encouraged to stretch themselves and 

work towards individual goals, so they 

fulfil their potential. A good education 

has balance, and our strong academic 

programme is combined with varied cocurricular 

activities, encompassing sport, 

cultural and musical programmes. 

We invite you to attend our Open 

Day on Wednesday 19 May 2021 and 

experience our special character for 

yourself. You will also find a wealth 

of information on our website – www.

St Bede’s College 

Founded over 100 years ago, St Bede’s 

College is the South Island’s most 

established Catholic Boys’ Boarding 

School. Our vision is to create Catholic 

Marist leaders of the future who serve 

with a Catholic heart, mind and hands. 

Our teaching and learning programmes 

are an important component of this, with 

programmes designed to ensure each 

boy engages with, and receives a holistic 

education that reflects their individual 

needs, interests, hopes and aspirations. 

We further support this vision with a 

deliberate focus on educating the whole 

person through high quality pastoral and 

guidance systems, servant leadership 

programmes and positive psychology 

frameworks. 

Sport at St Bede’s is characterised by all 

students achieving personal excellence 

through their commitment to challenge 

themselves whilst being supported by 

high quality coaching and first-class 

facilities. We are proud that over 85% of 

our young men are engaged in any of our 

33 co-curricular activities for sport. 

We offer a broad Arts and Culture 

programme inclusive of drama, music, 

dance, debating, visual arts, Polyfest 

and Kapa Haka. Whatever the area of 

ability, all students at St Bede’s College 

are encouraged to develop and use their 

God-given talents for the good of others. 

We have a long-standing tradition 

of providing quality boarding school 

education, with spacious grounds and 

many facilities available to use and 

benefit from. The strong culture of St 

Bede’s College encourages a sense of 

community that extends beyond current 

students to include all past and present 

students and staff, and their families, 

enriched through global connections in 

faith, learning and culture.
