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 />

intellectual<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 />

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 />

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 />
