Fingers fly for Make-A-Wish
MISSION: Lanuola Mulitalo (left), Tamia Fenilza and Chahana Mataale and other students of Marian College have
worked hard to fold 1000 paper cranes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
MARIAN COLLEGE students
are hoping to raise at least
$1000 for the Make-A-Wish
Foundation by folding 1000
paper cranes.
The Paper Crane Project, led
by Mazda NZ, has Kiwis folding
paper cranes that will be
placed on the Children’s Peace
Monument at the Hiroshima
Peace Memorial Park.
Mazda NZ will also donate
$1000 to the Make-a-Wish
Foundation for every 1000
cranes they receive by the end
of tomorrow. • Turn to page 3

Arbor Day
A MAMMOTH planting project
this weekend marks the start
of a plan to reduce the risk of
flooding in Mairehau and urban
Christchurch.
Conservation Volunteers New
Zealand is hosting their first, big
Cranford Basin community planting
day of the winter season on
Saturday in conjunction with the
city council.
The event also marks World
Environment and Arbor Day.
CVNZ’s conservation officer
Donna Lusby said they were also
offering community planting days
during the week for businesses
and organisations to be part of
creating a living legacy for the
city.
“It’s a great chance for organisations
to muck in and work
together to plant a forest, with
benefits for the team as well as
carbon off-setting and giving back
to the environment,” Lusby said.
Cranford Basin will be transformed
over the next decade into
a multi-purpose space, primarily
providing stormwater retention
services, but also a space for recreation
and biodiversity.

manager Kate Russell said the
planting day marks the start of
the mammoth task of planting
40,000 trees in the Cranford
Basin,
”CVNZ has taken on the
challenge of creating the largest
group of kahikatea in Ōtautahi
Christchurch since pre-European
times,” she said.
“The kahikatea is Aotearoa’s
tallest native tree and loves wetland
areas. When mature, they
will be a food source for kereru,
bellbird and maybe one day, even
tui.”
More than 7000 of the native
conifer have already been
planted in the basin to date,
Russell said.
The rest will be planted this
season with three other public
events planned in June, September
and October.
The project is part of the
Matariki Tu Rākau One
Billion Trees programme,
which was launched on April 25,
2018, to mark the 100-year anniversary
of the end of the World

Cranes carry
sombre
message
• From page 1
The folding of paper cranes
stems from a young girl, Sadako
Sasaki, who survived the atomic
explosion in Hiroshima but was
later diagnosed with leukaemia
from the radiation.
While in hospital, a fellow
patient told her about the legend
of the cranes – that anyone who
folds 1000 cranes will be granted
a wish.
So Sadako set about folding
paper cranes, making more
than 1000 by the time she died,
aged 12.
Marian College pastoral
chaplain Olivia Shimasaki said
students had folded 650 cranes in
the space of two days, and hoped
to have 1000, if not 2000, folded
by the deadline.
“This year our school is focusing
on how we can ‘take courage’.
The young people who receive
wishes from the Make-A-Wish
Foundation show great courage,
therefore we are proud to be
supporting them and the Paper
Crane Project,” she said.
“Our students have taken this
opportunity with passion and
determination, showing the difference
we can make when we
work together.”

Manukura Kōrero
Naku te rourou nau te rourou ka ora ai te iwi
With your basket and my basket the people will live
Kia Ora Koutou Katoa, ngā mihinui ki te
whānau o Haeata. At the end of Term
1 I celebrated five terms at Haeata as
Manukura. It seems like such a cliché to
say the time has flown, but it certainly has.
I am very proud to lead Haeata and to
be part of a team that has achieved some
outstanding things for our ākonga and
whānau over that time. I am grateful that the
Haeata Board and the Ministry of Education
have provided funding to assist us to run the
following projects, each one focussed on
raising ākonga achievement and success at all
levels in our kura;.
• Evaluation & Associates - Kaimahi/Staff
Professional Learning for Best Practice
• Motivationz - Mentoring Programme for
Senior Ākonga Engagement
• He Korowai Manaaki - Managing Ākonga
Behaviour Positively
• Te Ara Mōkihi - Te Hokinga Mai -
Ākonga Re-engagement
Our student achievement data continues
to challenge us as a kura. To be honest
with you whānau, it is not where I would
like it to be. Don’t get me wrong, we
have many ākonga doing amazing things
and achieving excellent results across the
curriculum and in NCEA here at Haeata.
Our ākonga are talented, bright, dedicated
and full of potential. However, what we
do have to own as a kura is the fact that
some ākonga are not reaching their true
potential, and are not choosing to be the
best version of themselves.”
What stops some ākonga from reaching
their true potential is their lack of
engagement and their lack of regular
attendance.
Part of our “Haeata Reset” is being honest
about that and then ensuring we focus
on targeted strategies to raise ākonga
achievement. We all have a part to play in
raising academic achievement and success
rates of all ākonga attending Haeata.
As a kura I am confident that we can
demonstrate a commitment to excellence,
to our ākonga and to you as whānau. I am
confident that together, as kura and as
whānau, we agree that all ākonga must:
•Attend Regularly
• Behave Well
• Respect Our Environment
• Focus on Performance
• Wear Correct Uniform.
It is my experience that
sometimes 21st Century youth
culture finds it hard to understand
the concept of “who is in charge,”
because they think they are! I will
finish here with a quote from Chief Youth
Court Judge, Andrew Beecroft, who clearly
articulates his view about“who’s in charge.”
Judge Beecroft believes our tamariki/
children are our greatest asset as a country.
However, he did qualify that when he
warned his audience that our young people
run the risk of failing to achieve their
full potential because we as adults don’t
expect enough of them and we let them
get away with far too much. Judge Beecroft
said:
“Always we hear the cry from the
teenagers, “What can we do, where can
we go?” My answer is, “Go home! Mow
the lawn, wash the windows, learn to cook,
build a raft, get a job, visit the sick, study
your lessons. And after you’ve finished,
read a book.
Your town
does not owe
you recreation
facilities; your
parents do not
owe you fun. The
world does not owe
you a living. You owe the
world something. You owe it your time,
energy and talent, so that no-one will be
at war, in poverty or sick and lonely again.
In other words, grow up, stop being a cry
baby, get out of your dream-world and
develop a backbone not a wishbone. Start
behaving like a responsible person. You are
important and you are needed. It’s too late
to sit around and wait for somebody to do
something someday. Someday is now and
that somebody is you.”
My wero to our ākonga is, “if not you,
who!”
Kia kaha, kia toa, kia manawanui.

Hospitality pathway
Hikuawa Hikohiko (Clubs)
It is a very exciting challenge to be able to align
hospitality assessments with catering events at Haeata.
Consequently, in doing so, our akonga get authentic
learning experiences in our amazing commercial
kitchen, and our customers get top quality restaurant
meals.
Recently we held a belated Mother’s Day menu and
this was attended by many of our Haeata whanau.
The assessment was the Level Two Unit Standard
29569, (Prepare equipment and cook kai with liquid
to present for manuhiri) and the hospitality students
did an exemplary job. We served a veritable feast
consisting of chicken roulade stuffed with spinach and
roast capsicum, coconut poached fish, and shaksuska
with whipped feta and pita bread, for mains. All this,
closely followed by caramel pears, moccachino trifle
or poached meringue on a pool of sauce anglaise.
Not only did our hospitality students prepare and
cook all this magnificent food, some were then
further volunteered into serving it to our esteemed
guests.
I was so proud of the students who took part in this
assessment and I would wholeheartedly encourage
them to pursue a career in hospitality as they were all
absolute stars. The following students are to be highly
commended-
Teleisha Johnson
Xiana O’Donnell
Jasper Pelayo
Q’Che Reweti
Mereana Taungakava-Hogan
Houston Tuhiwai
Kazania Tuhua
A big thanks also goes out to Natalie Malan for
creating such a welcoming restaurant environment.
Now we all look forward to our next catering
occasion and sincerely hope to see you there!
Nicki Knier
The Year 4-6 Puna Ako groups in Hikuawa are doing Hikohiko
(clubs) on Tuesday afternoons. They choose between:
1. STEM challenges, making a water rocket with The
Wonder Project’s support- this involves planning, creating
prototypes, designing models and finally building rockets
out of plastic bottles ready to launch.
2. Art-learning techniques for pencil sketching and building up
an art portfolio each.
3. Code Club- using programmes like Scratch and Python.
They are building up their skills to be able use technology
to solve real world problems in their community.
We are two weeks in and the commitment and enthusiasm is
awesome to see with all ākonga excited and engaged in this
programme.

Blue room gets new home at florist business
• By Samantha Mythen
TRANSFERRED by road at
4.30am on May 14 and lifted on
site via two cranes and the help
of 20 contractors, the blue room
– once used as the Mt Pleasant
Community Centre – has found
its new home.
It now sits among the fields of
flowers at Aromaunga Baxters
Flowers in Heathcote.
The Baxter family, who have
owned the florist business for 40
years, bought the blue room from
the city council.
After the February 22, 2011,
earthquake destroyed the Mt
Pleasant Community Centre, a
temporary building was set up in
its place – it’s blue walls giving it
the name of blue room. Because a
new community centre has since
been built, the blue room is no
longer needed.
John Baxter said they purchased
the building as their
business is expanding and they
needed more shed space.
The blue room will now we
used for flower processing, where
the picked flowers are trimmed
and bunched for their shop and
at markets.
“We’re excited to have the blue
room here,” Baxter said.
“It has a lot of history.”
Baxter said when he and one of
his brothers Mike went to view
the blue room before purchasing
it, he could already picture it being
on site in Heathcote.
“It was a little building that
needed a home,” he said.
Said Mt Pleasant Community
Centre president Rebekah Mc-
Cullough said: “ We’re thrilled
the blue room has gone there and
it’s wonderful it can still be a part
of our extended community.
“We are pleased they can use
the room and that they appreciate
its history.”
Said market and centre coordinator
Di Richardson: “We
are so delighted it has gone to
a good home and is still in the
neighbourhood.”
Baxter joked that although the
space was needed for their flower
processing, he loved table tennis,
and the space looked perfect for
setting up a table tennis tournament.
“We’ll see what happens,” he
said.
Baxter and his two brothers,
Mike and Richard – ‘the Baxter
boys’ – run and own the florist.

Preventative home
maintenance tips
Check your water tanks, pipes
and outside taps
Consider turning off outside taps to avoid
freezing and bursting. Covering water
tanks and pipes is a cost-effective way of
preventing this and reduces heat loss.
Consider your outdoor safety
and security
With the evenings being darker earlier,
frosts on outdoor steps, decks and pathways
are a slipping hazard.
Ensure you have adequate outdoor
lighting, a clutter free and smooth pathway
to your rubbish bins, woodpile, external
garage or sleepout.
Clean up spills immediately. Consider
moisture-absorbent mats and handrails.
Cut back your trees
With the leaves already fallen, now is a
good time to assess your trees and trim
back any dead branches and branches
overhanging your windows, spouting and
roof. Check your roof for leaks, loose nails,
and that it has a sound coating. Also look
for moss and algae.
Clear your gutters, drains and
downpipes
An accumulation of autumn leaves can
quickly block gutters, which can lead to
roof leaks, overflow and flooding. Consider
protecting your gutters from birds, hail and
leaves.
Stagnant water may freeze resulting in
gutters and downpipes coming loose or
collapsing.
Blocked drains are a potential health
hazard, create an unpleasant odour and
attracts bugs and small pests.
Store your seasonal equipment
with care
Before you put your lawnmower and
weedeater away for the season, run low or
drain the petrol. Petrol goes off and come
spring your old petrol can adversely affect
the performance of your equipment and
block up your filters.
Cover outdoor furniture and secure
items, such as trampolines, which may get
blown around in strong winds.
Consider options to extend your outdoor
living all year round.
Upgrade your home
with wall tiles
Winter is here and what better time to
accomplish some DIY home improvements
which will add value to your home.
A new easy to install waterproof wall tile
has recently arrived in New Zealand. The
Styletile brand by Dumawall is lightweight
and offers seamless joins which any

Less waste,

It is fascinating exploring Musgroves’
sheds where there is a huge variety of
recycled and new building products. This
iconic Canterbury company has been
recycling building materials for the last
50 years and they’re really good at it. Not
only do they have an incredible range of
products that are amazingly well organised,
but they have also built themselves a
reputation for providing exceptional
service. The reviews from their many
customers (whether they be homeowners,
business owners or tradies) repeatedly refer
to the care and commitment of Musgroves’
long-serving team members who have gone
above and beyond to assist them with their
many and varied project needs.
General manager, Sue Brown, confirms
that Musgroves has thousands of repeat
customers who come from all round
the South Island (and beyond) to find
treasures for their projects. Whether it
be to look for T&G flooring for their new
build, or for a french door for their home
renovation, or for a sliding door for their
sleep out, or for doors and windows for
their child’s playhouse, or for timber beams
for a business fitout or for some roofing
materials to fix a leak, these are just a few
of the reasons why people come to visit
Musgroves.
There is no question that upcycling and
recycling is alive and well at Musgroves
in Wigram and once you’ve talked to any
member of the Musgroves team you soon
get a sense that sustainability is not just a
fad here, but rather it is in their
DNA and until you’ve paid them a
visit you can’t fully appreciate the
huge range of building materials
that Musgroves can supply you
with.

Prepare your
home for winter
Did you know that healthy trees can add
up to 20% to the value of your property?
You may not think about it
that often – but the trees on
your property are a lifetime
investment.
Carefully selected trees on your property
provide more than beauty - they increase
the value of your home. Several recent
surveys have shown that mature trees in
a well-landscaped garden can increase
the value of a house by 7 per cent to
19 per cent.
Experts indicate that a well-maintained
garden with mature trees can add
thousands to a home’s value and speed up
a house sale too.
In addition to adding significant value
at the point of sale, trees also serve very
practical and functional (as well as
aesthetic) purposes for homeowners. They
frame beautiful, relaxing, and pleasant
landscapes and help keep a house cooler
and protected from destructive winds and
weather.
Many tree care companies simply chop,
cut, and call the job done. However, after
speaking with THE TREE PEOPLE, it
quickly became apparent that they are
different. Simply put, they know your
home is your haven and will always ensure
it is treated that way.
Started by Ra and Megan Hammer in
2004, THE TREE PEOPLE knew early on
that their ethos and approach was going to
be different. They never simply chop and
cut, and instead pride themselves on the
fact that they go against the grain of how
many other arborists operate. They can
help with any tree and pride themselves on
being able to do so. They can remove large
dangerous trees safely, look after the trees
that you care about, transplant established
trees with care and offer expert advice on
all ‘things’ trees.
Speaking with passion about what he
does, chief tree hugger Ra Hammer shares,
“We had some very clear goals when we
started the business that we still ‘live by’
today. It was important to us to preserve
and maintain trees sustainably, to provide
an environment that helps our customers
to enjoy harmonious relationships with
their trees, to offer excellent affordable tree
care and to always adhere to best practice.
I am proud to say that, 16 years later, we
still live and breathe these goals”.
To remove those dangerous trees,
hard to reach over hanging branches
and to add value to your property, call
Ra, Megan and the team at THE TREE
PEOPLE today.

Prepare your
home for winter
Buy — sell — reside with
peace of mind
Any property, old or new, can have
hidden problems. It is important to know
the true condition of your current, or
potential property.
An AA House Check report can provide
you with the confidence to buy or sell with
no surprises.
Property examinations provide detailed
room by room inspections, including
roof cavity, insulation, flooring, electrical,
plumbing, drainage, hot water systems,
roofing, decks, paths and driveways,
garages, asbestos identification and more.
A BOINZ accredited building surveyor
can also carry out moisture checks,
residential foundation inspections,
earthquake damage repair assessments and
methamphetamine testing.
Serving Canterbury homeowners,
landlords and prospective home buyers for
over 15 years AA House Checks have your
house inspection needs covered.
