MP lobbied to save schools’ path
• By Bea Gooding
AN ESTABLISHED pathway
between three primary schools
that keeps children and cyclists
off the road is at risk of not being
retained at the conclusion of a
redevelopment
project.
Cobham
Intermediate,
Burnside
Primary and
Allenvale
David
Cartwright
Sarah Pallett
schools will
soon have
major rebuilds,
but the Ministry
of Education
has no
plans to keep
the shared
pathway used
by dozens of
pupils and the
community.
The Fendal-
ton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board is
now seeking the support of Ilam
MP Sarah Pallett in lobbying the
ministry, which owns the land,
for the pathway’s retention.
Community board chairman
David Cartwright said keeping
cyclists safe was a “No 1 priority”
for the ward.
Said Cartwright: “In the initial
design by the Ministry of Education,
there was no consideration
given to cyclists and walkers to
move between [the schools].

UNDER THREAT: The shared pathway that leads to the Burnside Primary School
entrance on Ilam Rd, near Cobham Intermediate.

“It has a high traffic flow and
foot count, with local residents
using it. It keeps cyclists safe
and encourages more people on
bikes.”
Burnside and Cobham are part
Special Pricing
for the
Weekend
of the $1.3 billion Christchurch
Schools Rebuild programme
(CSR), where 115 earthquakedamaged
schools are either being
rebuilt or redeveloped.
As part of the CSR, both
Lunch and Dinner
schools have been approved for
complete rebuilds, with an emphasis
on sharing facilities, given
their shared site.
In addition, the two schools
will host Allenvale School, which
‘It is a shortcut for
many residents, cyclists
and families.’
– David
Cartwright
is building a satellite school at
the Burnside and Cobham site,
and another new base in Belfast.
If the shared path is not
included in the ministry’s building
plans, it would force more
pupils and residents to use the
surrounding roads instead, such
as Ilam Rd.
“It’s their land, we need their
permission to go ahead,” he said.
“It is a shortcut for many
residents, cyclists and families
that travel through the schools.
It’s counter-intuitive to put more
people on the road,” he said.
The board is yet to hear back
on the Ilam MP’s progress with
the ministry.
In the meantime, the board
was satisfied with the effort Pallett
has put in so far.
“She’s engaged in wanting to
do the right thing, and has given
us a verbal commitment that it
would get done right away,” said
Cartwright.
“It’s not a case of Labour vs
National – safety and community
involvement is a bipartisan
activity.”

My client’s brief to the architect, William Trengrove, was very clear - a timeless
home that while stylish was also easy to live in. A successful collaboration
resulted in this lovely home situated on the desirable lower slopes of Cashmere.
The home is thoughtfully planned, with interconnecting living rooms all leading
onto an ideal outdoor living space which can be accessed from both living
rooms and the main bedroom.
The generous main bedroom, with its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, is on
the same level as the living space - so often wanted by a homeowner, but not
often found.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, with large wardrobes and a family
bathroom. Beautifully landscaped gardens complete the picture, with easy
drive on access to the house and a picturesque view of our city.
Located within the Cashmere High & Cashmere Primary school zones and only a
short walk to the local cafe.

Environmental leadership
programme selects students
SIX CANTERBURY high
school students have been
chosen to represent the region
at a week-long environmental
leadership programme for
young New Zealanders.
Among hundreds of other
applicants, Villa Maria College
year 13 student Sarah Williams
was selected to take part in the
BLAKE Inspire programme.
Held from this week in Waikato,
the programme enables
70, year 11 to 13 students from
across the country to join other
like-minded young leaders for a
week of experiential learning.
Chief executive James Gibson
said it will help to unlock their
potential and kick-start their
journey to tackle environmental
issues to create a more sustainable
future.
“Environmental issues are
a priority for our rangatahi.
They’re very aware that their future
will be negatively impacted
if people don’t start responding
to challenges such as climate
change, biodiversity loss and the
decline of our marine health,
now,” he said.
“Whatever their culture,
school or background, BLAKE
Inspire brings together these
Sarah Williams
young, like-minded leaders to
create new connections and find
answers to pressing environmental
challenges.”
The programme is in partnership
with the Ministry for the
Environment.
Throughout the week, students
will interact with scientists, conservation
experts and business
leaders who are leading the way
with sustainability initiatives.
They will develop leadership
skills, have exposure to career
paths in their field of interest,
and will see real-world applications
of the subjects they learn.
Visiting places such as Raglan
Harbour, Sanctuary Mountain,
Waitomo Caves and an awardwinning
Waikato dairy farm
will be a learning curve on con-
James Gibson
servation, eco-tourism, sustainable
farming and environmental
sustainability.
MfE joint evidence, data and
insights group deputy secretary
Natasha Lewis said rangatahi
are growing up in a changing
world, where environmental
challenges and opportunities
are at the forefront of all key
choices.
Said Lewis: “Leaders today
need to be resilient, innovative
and able to respond to a
changing world. Young people
are often called the decisionmakers
of tomorrow, but our
rangatahi must be included in
the decision making of today,
because more than ever, those
decisions will impact the
Aotearoa they will inherit.”
COSY: Villa Maria College student leaders held a fundraiser
to buy warm pyjamas for children in need, which will be
donated to the Christchurch City Mission.
School project to keep
kids warm during winter
THE COOLER weather is
coming, and Villa Maria College
students are helping vulnerable
children stay warm this winter in
the form of cosy winter pyjamas.
The student leaders, led by head
girl Melissa Dunn, decided to
hold a mufti day last week, with
students donating a gold coin to
take part.
More than $1400 was raised on
the day, with every cent going towards
the purchase of new winter
pyjamas in a range of children’s
sizes.
The pyjamas will be donated to
the Christchurch City Mission,
to be added to food parcels for
families in need across the city.
“We recognise that for some
families, the cost of new winter
pyjamas for their children is
more than they can afford, and
we can’t imagine not being warm
and cosy in bed through the
colder months,” said Melissa.
“It was fantastic to see so
many enthusiastic students
donating to such a good cause,
and we will be able to buy over
a hundred sets of brand-new
winter pyjamas, in various sizes,
for the City Mission to distribute
to families in need.”

A reader responds to a
proposal to close two
Metro bus lounges on
Riccarton Rd
Bright colours signify festive
When I heard about the city
council’s proposal to do this, I
was horrified.
The one on the south side of
Riccarton Rd is particularly
well-used and is very important
for those who have to wait to
change buses.
This can be for as long as
30min – or more. There are
no seats available on that side
of the road and it can be very
trying, especially for older bus
users.
Waiting on the street in
winter is really hazardous to
health. The lounge is bright,
comfortable, has toilets, upto-date
bus information and a
small cafe.
In addition, there is often a
friendly security guard in the
vicinity. This seems to have
sorted the unsavoury elements
of recent times.
Whatever the costs of
running of the bus lounge,
it is in the best interests of
ratepayers to maintain the
service.
I will also be making a
submission to the Long Term
Plan proposals and I hope that
many of your readers will do the
same.

Hornby Primary edged out St Bernadette’s 4-2 to take third placing
at the annual year 5 and 6 Canterbury primary schools rugby
league tournament at South Hagley Park last week.
Canterbury Rugby League development officer Dom Tola said a
number of pupils got their first taste of the sport at the tournament,
which was timed to lead into the club season.
He said it provided a great opportunity for those new to rugby
league to give it a try before deciding whether or not to sign up with
a local club.
Te Waka Unua School (Woolston) beat Rolleston Primary School
3-0 in the final.

planet – then it’s good for the WEA.
On a busy day we can have up to eight

LEST WE FORGET
ANZAC DAY
SUNDAY APRIL 25, 2021
Remembering our Anzacs
“The darkness, calm and chill of the early morning;
the sound of the single tap of the drum of the parade;
the emotionless faces of the catafalque guard, and
the mournful notes of Last Post sounded by a lone
bugler, combine to give a feeling of deep solemnity. It
is the intensity of the symbolism which contributes to
its powerful impact upon participants; indeed what
underlies its popularity. In a country with few public
rituals, the Dawn Service continues to provide a sense of
occasion as a meaningful ritual of remembrance.”
rsa.org.nz
Every year Anzac Day is observed on April 25 by
communities throughout New Zealand and Australia to
remember those who have served and those who lost
their lives in war. The term ANZAC is the acronym for
Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and was first
used in World War 1. These groups of soldiers back then
were known as ‘the Anzacs’.
Anzac commemorations may consist of one or more
ceremonies – one at dawn (timed to coincide with the
initial landings at Gallipoli by Australian troops who were
the first ashore) and/or one later in the morning. The
ceremonies are rich in tradition and generally begin with
a parade of returned servicemen and military personnel
followed by cadets, youth groups and local dignitaries.
War veterans, proudly sporting their medals lead the

parade, which leads to a local cenotaph or memorial gate
where the ceremony includes a service with hymns, laying
of wreaths, dedications, prayers and the Last Post played
on a bugle. Morning tea follows and allows people to share
memories and catch up with friends and neighbours.
Anzac Day was first observed by servicemen in 1916 to
mark the anniversary of New Zealand and Australian
soldiers landing on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. It soon
became a day where all New Zealanders and Australians
took time to remember the men and women who
perished in the Great War. In 1921, Anzac Day became an
official holiday and by 1922 it was declared a full public
holiday where shops, banks and hotels remained closed
for the day.
Symbol of remembrance
The red (or Flanders) poppy is a symbol of remembrance
and hope all over the world and, in some countries, is
worn on Armistice Day, however in New Zealand the red
poppy is commonly worn on Anzac Day. The first Poppy
Day appeal was on April 24 in 1922, where funds from
the sales of small and large silk poppies helped relieve
suffering in war-ravaged northern France. A paper version
of the poppy is now sold by the Royal New Zealand
Returned Services Association on Poppy Day to raise
awareness for Anzac Day and funds for returned soldiers
and their families and local communities.
