$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rebuild will replace outdated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 />

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 />

Repairs needed to<br />
improve safety at pool<br />
•From page 1<br />
The only exception will<br />
be the Sharks lessons, which<br />
will be moved to the teach<br />
pool. Lessons normally held<br />
in the recreation pool on<br />
Saturdays will be transferred<br />
to Graham Condon Recreation<br />

closure period.<br />
“We are aware that this<br />
work disrupts people’s<br />

by avoiding the need<br />

said.<br />
The city council has a regular<br />

its recreation facilities across<br />
the city. The Pioneer Recreation<br />
and Sport Centre pools<br />
reopened at Queen’s Birthday<br />

“It is important to give<br />
these well-used facilities the<br />
repairs they require to keep<br />
them running efficiently and<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 />
