$6.7 million school refurbishment starts<br />

JOY: Redwood School pupils have fun on their new $35,000 playground.<br />

is not the only occasion to<br />

be celebrated - the school’s<br />

refurbishment project, which<br />

was meant to be completed<br />

nearly four years ago, has<br />

also started. The $6.7 million<br />

rebuild will replace outdated<br />

classrooms, rotting walls and<br />

broken heat pumps. It was only<br />

fitting to include a brand new<br />

playground in the mix.<br />

Principal Nick Gunn said the<br />

old playground stood in the way<br />

of where a new building was<br />

meant to go. •Turn to page 3<br />

Jellie Park<br />

pool to<br />

close for<br />

six weeks<br />

PART OF Jellie Park Recreation<br />

and Sport Centre will close for six<br />

weeks so essential work can be<br />

carried out.<br />

The 25m concrete tiled<br />

recreation pool at the Ilam Rd,<br />

Burnside, centre is scheduled<br />

to close from Monday, <strong>June</strong> 14,<br />

to Monday, July 26, to allow for<br />

relining work to be completed,<br />

improving the safety of the pool.<br />

City council head of recreation,<br />

sports and events Nigel Cox said<br />

the pool is showing significant<br />

wear and tear, with loose and<br />

broken tiles potentially causing<br />

significant cuts to customers and<br />

staff.<br />

“The work will improve the<br />

pool functionality, aesthetics<br />

and water tightness, through<br />

the installation of a reinforced<br />

1.5mm-thick PVC membrane<br />

and perimeter tiling. The relining<br />

is necessary due to a large<br />

number of tiles failing, the cost<br />

of continuing to temporarily<br />

remediate the tiles, and to avoid<br />

injuries for staff and customers.”<br />

Swimsmart lessons normally<br />

held in the recreation pool from<br />

Monday to Friday will be offered<br />

at their usual time, but instead<br />

take place in the sports pool.<br />

Residents still not happy<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

A SOLUTION may be on the<br />

horizon to solve pedestrian<br />

safety issues around Northlink<br />

shopping centre – but this<br />

doesn’t mean residents are<br />

happy with what has been<br />

proposed.<br />

Ian Wilkie told Nor’West <strong>News</strong><br />

last month that residents want<br />

more steps taken to ensure they<br />

are no longer in danger when<br />

crossing or exiting driveways on<br />

the busy Langdons Rd.<br />

The Papanui-Innes Community<br />

Board has now told Wilkie<br />

there is a budget to install two<br />

pedestrian refuge islands to<br />

make it safer for people to cross<br />

the road.<br />

Although he has advocated<br />

for the islands, nothing has been<br />

planned to slow traffic down to<br />

allow pedestrians to cross safely,<br />

such as traffic lights.<br />

“We’ll take what we can get,<br />

but we’re not happy with it,” said<br />

Wilkie.<br />

“Traffic won’t have to stop<br />

or slow down, so people with<br />

physical disabilities or who are<br />

aged will have to sprint from the<br />

pavement to the refuge – it won’t<br />

be a safe passage.<br />

“People I’ve spoken to feel that<br />

the council is not concerned<br />

about us, they’re more concerned<br />

about traffic flow.”<br />

Wilkie said traffic and road<br />

visibility is so bad he has to<br />

drive his wife to Northlink, even<br />

though they live across the road<br />

from it.<br />

Board chairwoman Emma<br />

Norrish told Wilkie there was<br />

budget for the coming financial<br />

year to install the islands, pending<br />

community input.<br />

Said Norrish: “Ideally, we<br />

would like to see lights installed<br />

at the main entrance to the<br />

development, which would give<br />

pedestrians the safest<br />

crossing option, and<br />

staff agree this would<br />

be the safest option.<br />

But there is not the<br />

budget for this at the<br />

current time.”<br />

But Wilkie believed<br />

a price should not be<br />

put on a person’s life,<br />

so until “someone was<br />

killed,” the problem deserved<br />

more consideration.<br />

Emma<br />

Norrish<br />

Meanwhile, the board is still<br />

working on getting traffic<br />

lights installed at the<br />

Langdons and Greers Rds<br />

intersection to mitigate<br />

the increased traffic<br />

caused by Northlink.<br />

“These are required<br />

under the development’s<br />

resource consent to be<br />

installed before stage<br />

three opens, so staff are<br />

working with the developer on<br />

funding options.”<br />

Playground<br />

worth<br />

the wait<br />

•From page 1<br />

A new playground could not<br />

be constructed until the rebuild<br />

project started, so most of the<br />

funding the PTA raised has been<br />

waiting to be used for a number<br />

of years.<br />

“Our redevelopment has been<br />

a long time in the making. We<br />

couldn’t build the new playground<br />

until the rebuild started, and the<br />

students haven’t had a playground<br />

this year, so we’re pretty pleased<br />

to have it all back,” said Gunn.<br />

Former principal John Stackhouse<br />

cut the ribbon at the opening.<br />

Over the last six years, the PTA<br />

raised thousands through sausage<br />

sizzles, sponsored treks in the<br />

neighbourhood, night markets<br />

and discos.<br />

And while the pupils can now<br />

enjoy the fruits of their labour,<br />

they are also looking forward to<br />

moving into new teaching spaces<br />

later this year.<br />

Pupils and staff are expected to<br />

relocate into eight new classrooms<br />

by September. The work is part of<br />

the Christchurch Schools Rebuild<br />

programme, involving the<br />

rebuild or refurbishment of 115<br />

earthquake-damaged schools.<br />

THE<br />

DEMANDING<br />

Art<br />

OF<br />

Auctioneering<br />

With auctions being one of the<br />

strongest driving forces in today’s<br />

marketplace, I thought I’d talk about<br />

the world of the auctioneer or at least<br />

my impressions gained over many<br />

years of observation. And what better<br />

place to start that conversation than<br />

here in Wellington at our National<br />

Auction Competitions.<br />

It takes a special individual to master<br />

auctioneering and although I personally<br />

gave it a try over 24 years ago, I didn’t have<br />

the passion that I’ve witnessed in others, and<br />

sensibly decided against pursuing it.<br />

Now join me whilst I share the scene of the<br />

event I’m watching.<br />

There are 15 individuals, predominantly men<br />

(come on ladies), and they all have one thing<br />

in common, confidence – and, for the most<br />

part, eloquence too.<br />

Dream-weavers and scene-setters, some are<br />

an absolute joy to watch and listen to.<br />

Some of the contestants answer with<br />

confidence though not accuracy and the<br />

odd one is completely bamboozled. It’s funny<br />

how as an observer you start rallying for any<br />

underdogs, hoping they’ll recover from a<br />

difficult start or a testy bidder.<br />

The best today have been storytellers, authors<br />

of a new occupant’s dream and the current<br />

owner’s decorating ambitions. Their stance<br />

can either help or hinder; open arms, eye<br />

contact and a ready smile favour the better<br />

contestants.<br />

I’ve yet to pick the winner as that will come<br />

later, long after I’ve submitted this article for<br />

publication, but overall, I’m very impressed.<br />

A competition has an artificial element to it<br />

that makes it extremely hard, harder than real<br />

The only exception will<br />

“We are aware that this<br />

Northcote, Burnside primary schools<br />

involved in new literacy initiative<br />

A NEW approach to how fiveyear-olds<br />

are taught to read is<br />

helping raise the literacy skills<br />

of Canterbury children, and it<br />

has already made its way into<br />

Northcote and Burnside primary<br />

schools.<br />

More than 450 teachers and<br />

literacy specialists nationwide<br />

are taking part in the better start<br />

literacy approach, developed by<br />

the Child Well-Being Research<br />

Institute at Canterbury University.<br />

Pene Balk-Jarvis, a teacher<br />

with more than 30 years’ experience,<br />

is training as a BSLA<br />

facilitator and is supporting four<br />

teachers at Northcote.<br />

The programme is now being<br />

rolled out in classes across the<br />

country, reaching more than<br />

4500 children in their first year<br />

of school.<br />

Northcote principal Justin Perriam<br />

said the school got involved<br />

after noticing a steady decrease<br />

in 6-year net scores - a measure<br />

of a student’s grasp of basic reading<br />

and writing concepts and<br />

skills after a year at school.<br />

“We knew that our current<br />

practice was not working so we<br />

RESOURCE: A new approach to how five-year-olds are taught to read has been<br />

incorporated by Northcote School. ​<br />

started to look around for different<br />

options,” he said.<br />

“BSLA is giving us the<br />

opportunity to try a different<br />

approach to support our ākonga<br />

with their literacy learning. It’s<br />

not a case of throwing out our<br />

current practice, but of enhancing<br />

the good practice we do with a<br />

different lens.”<br />

Perriam is now seeing high<br />

levels of engagement from the<br />

pupils who are keen to share<br />

their knowledge and clearly see<br />

themselves as learners.<br />

“They have found both the<br />

whole class and smaller group<br />

activities to be achievable and<br />

of high interest. The lessons are<br />

fast-paced, meaning the students<br />

are not getting bored.”<br />

The BSLA is based on research<br />

evidence of the most effective<br />

methods to teach children lettersound<br />

knowledge, phonological<br />

awareness, vocabulary, oral<br />

narrative, word reading and<br />

spelling.<br />

The approach uses quality<br />

children’s storybooks and fun,<br />

game-based phoneme awareness<br />

activities to build these critical<br />

foundational skills.<br />

The research trials, which have<br />

been published internationally,<br />

demonstrated that the approach<br />

significantly improves children’s<br />

early reading spelling and<br />

vocabulary development to<br />

a greater extent than typical<br />

classroom practice.<br />

It is particularly helpful for<br />

children who enter school with<br />

lower levels of oral language<br />

skills and helps them catch up to<br />

their peers.<br />

Across the city, facilitator<br />

Trudi Browne is supporting four<br />

teachers at Burnside Primary<br />

School.<br />

She said the school got<br />

involved as they were keen to<br />

give tamariki the best possible<br />

start in their learning.<br />

“Our tamariki have embraced<br />

the approach as much as we, as<br />

kaiako, have. They are bringing<br />

along their reading folders, keen<br />

to find out what their next learning<br />

is.”<br />

Browne said the children are<br />

engaged and are reading at a<br />

higher level than before.<br />

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

Customers pleased with honest,<br />

reliable vehicle servicing<br />

Having your vehicle regularly serviced is<br />

key to getting the best out of it in terms of<br />

fuel efficiency and reduced wear and tear<br />

on expensive parts.<br />

Kevin, who owns and operates Parker<br />

Automotive in Birmingham Drive,<br />

provides full vehicle servicing to keep your<br />

vehicle running smoothly, as well as WOFs,<br />

batteries and tyres.<br />

He also carries out all mechanical repairs,<br />

including cam belt replacement, suspension<br />

work, clutch and gearbox repairs, only<br />

repairing what’s necessary, and without<br />

charging the earth.<br />

He has owned the business since 2007,<br />

and over that time has established a loyal<br />

customer base – people that rely on him<br />

to give them sound advice and provide<br />

professional care and servicing for their<br />

vehicles.<br />

Customers come from across the city,<br />

Spreydon, Hillmorton, Riccarton, Halswell<br />

and Middleton areas, and the business has<br />

received many positive Google reviews<br />

from customers. Below are some examples:<br />

I have been going to Parker Automotive<br />

for the last eight years and I cannot fault the<br />

service. The mechanical work has been top<br />

notch! If you want top service and value for<br />

money I recommend Parker Automotive. –<br />

Daniel Jay<br />

basic servicing and warrants through to<br />

major work like clutches, replacement<br />

coilovers and bushings. Kevin is a very<br />

honest guy who gets the job done in a very<br />

timely manor and he has outstanding<br />

communication. The overall service I’ve<br />

received is excellent. – Lachlan Poole<br />

I know it’s not always about price but<br />

sometimes, when it comes to vehicle repairs,<br />

you just want a perceived good deal and work<br />

carried out by someone who seems to care.<br />

Kevin came recommended by a friend, and<br />

what a great recommendation. His work was<br />

clean, efficient, fast and came in under what<br />

I thought it was going to cost. So we took my<br />

partner’s car there two days later and that<br />

too was completed faster than we expected<br />

and at an almost unbelievable cost.<br />

Give Parker Automotive a shot next<br />

time you need something done. Kevin<br />

is a nice fella too, win win. – Mark<br />

Lewis<br />

Earlier this year, Parker Automotive<br />

moved from premises on the Lincoln<br />

and Torrens roads corner to a new site<br />

at 23B Birmingham Drive, Middleton.<br />

Opening hours are Monday to<br />

Friday 7.30am-4pm, Saturday 8am-<br />

12pm. So give Kevin a call on 982<br />

4268, or pop in and he will be happy<br />

to help with all your vehicle servicing<br />

needs.<br />
