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

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.

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.

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.

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS
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
school for more information.

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
