Community rallies to help
brother of terror attack victim
• By Fiona Ellis
BIRTHDAYS ARE always a
difficult time for Zahid Ismail,
as he faces the date without his
twin brother Junaid, who was
killed in the March 15 terror
attack.
This year
the difficult
day was made
worse when
a fire broke
out at the
Halswell
home he and
his family
were about to
Zahid Ismail
move into.
However, the community has
rallied to support Ismail, who
lives in Hornby, donating $9850
over four weeks in a Givealittle
fundraiser set up by his sister,
a response that has astonished
him.
“I’m absolutely taken
aback, even if we had received
like $20, we would still have
been just as taken aback,” he
said.
“Essentially anybody giving
out of the kindness of their
heart and their hard work is a
big deal. We really appreciate
every little bit.”

REMEMBERED: The death of Junaid Ismail in the 2019 terrorist attack makes birthdays a difficult time for his twin brother.

Halswell expansion worries residents
• By Fiona Ellis
CONCERNS OVER the
expansion of Halswell were
frequently raised in a survey
about life in Christchurch’s
fastest-growing suburb.
Canterbury University’s
Callum Prichard is part of a
group of social work students
conducting the survey, which
has more than 100 responses
so far.
Although the survey is still
open, he has noticed patterns
coming through in the answers.
“There are some really
interesting fears around the
expansion of Halswell,” Prichard
said.
Infrastructure problems are
one example, with people saying
roads in the area are struggling
to deal with the traffic volume.
City council data shows the
Halswell Ward’s population
increased by 34.3 per cent
between 2013 and 2018, while
Christchurch’s population
increased by 8.9 per cent.
By 2043, the population in
Halswell is expected to grow
by 137 per cent. Over the same
period, the city’s population is
expected to increase by 22 per
cent.
As well as addressing
residents’ concerns, the survey
also asked about people’s level of

community connection to the
area, whether they like living in
Halswell and, if so, why?
This showed what people
enjoy about the area, such as its
friendliness and the recreational
use of Halswell Quarry, Prichard
said.
The students will deliver a
presentation based on the survey
results at the university later this
month.
It will account for a large
portion of their grade in
the second-year course on
social work and community
engagement. However, he hoped
the Halswell community would
also benefit from the survey.
The presentation would
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
be sent to interested parties,
including city council and the
Halswell Community Hub, a
group the students were in touch
with.
“Maybe it will help the
Halswell community to
appreciate their assets, but also
spread awareness of the issues,”
he said.
In Brief
NEW ELEVATOR FOR
HUB HORNBY
An elevator is being installed at
the Hub Hornby mall to make
it easier for people to access
its rooftop parking from the
Pak’nSave entrance. It will have
the capacity to transport two or
three trolleys. The opening date
has not been set but the elevator is
likely to be operational before the
end of the year.
ENTRANCE TO SCHOOL
CLOSED OVER HOLIDAYS
The main entrance to Merrin
Primary School in Avonhead
will be closed during the school
holidays to complete trenching
work at the front of the school.
The Brookby Cres entrance will
be open for people who need to
access the school, such as those
taking part in the Kelly Club
holiday activities.
BOARD TO BE BRIEFED
OVER TREE CONCERNS
Concerns around the removal of
trees to make way for building
developments has prompted
the Hornby-Halswell-Riccarton
Community Board to request a
briefing on the issue from city
council staff. A date has not been
set for the joint briefing with the
Spreydon-Cashmere Community
Board, but city council staff
intend to hold it in November.

Faith key to overcoming the hardship
• From page 1
Since buying the Halswell
property in April, they had been
carrying out renovations and
were nearly ready to make the
shift when the fire broke out.
“We were almost there-two
days out from the contractor
finishing.
“It ended up doing a lot of
damage, but the fire department
got there in time to stop it engulfing
the whole place.”
A large hole in the floor was
perhaps the worst of the damage,
and the impact of the ash and
soot permeating the entire house
was also extensive.
While the couple had house
insurance, they had not yet organised
content insurance.
“After the fire, we were really,
really taken aback-we knew we
were in a bit of a situation.”
They were now working to organise
repairs and did not expect
to move in for weeks, or even
months.
Meanwhile, they would continue
to live with Ismail’s mother.
The family owned the Springs
Road Dairy, which his parents
brought when he was a small
child, he said.
“We’ve been in this dairy as a
family for 33 years.”
He now helped out in the dairy
in the evening after his regular

job.
“After [my brother] passed,
myself and my wife took on a lot
more responsibility.
“We sort of contracted and
stayed together as a family after
my brother went. It changed our
outlook and our plans, we were
supporting one another.”
This was not the only family
tragedy he endured in 2019, with
his baby daughter dying in Starship
hospital in July of that year
due to a critical heart condition.
Faith was the key to overcoming
the hardship of recent years,
he said.
“We’re very religious in terms
of our outlook on life . . . it really
gives us that platform to understand
any sorry of adversity or
grief that we have to undertake.”
This year Ismail and his wife
welcomed another baby daughter.
“Thankfully, she’s completely
healthy.”
He hoped his next birthday
would be spent peacefully in the
family’s new home.

Hornby centre delayed again
• By Fiona Ellis
CONSTRUCTION of
Hornby’s new $35.7 million
centre has been delayed for a
second time.
The build is dependent on
the arrival of 147 steel piles
that were initially expected
to be at the Kyle Park site by
September, then October.
The piles, which will weigh
418 tonne, are now expected
to arrive in November, said
Nigel Cox, city council head of
recreation, sports and events.
“It appears there were
global shipping issues before
the pandemic, which the
pandemic has exacerbated,”
Cox said.
The current shipping
schedule showed the ship
would arrive at Timaru Port
from November 5 to 8.
It will take a week for the
steel to arrive in Hornby after
leaving Timaru, he said.
Currently the piles are in
Noumea.
However, the use of the
centre, which will contain a
pool and library, has been on
residents’ minds.
Submissions on the facilities
WAITING: The steel piles needed to start building the multi-million dollar Hornby
centre are not expected to arrive until November,
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
and activities the
community would like
to see at the new centre
closed on Friday.
A total of 173
submissions had been
received but that was
likely to increase, Cox
said.
“We are aware of
additional completed copies
coming in through the library
team, and anticipate
some responses in the
post.”
An analysis
of the responses
would be presented
to the Hornby-
Halswell-Riccarton
Community Board
later this month.
Board chairman Mike
Mora said he appreciated
Mike Mora
the community demand for
activities in the new centre.
“It’s just a matter of what is a
priority for the space.
“There will be a demand
for a lot of use and we’ve got
to meet that with the spaces
available.”
The delays were frustrating
but were being experienced
throughout the world, Mora
said.

A chance to jump on the world stage
Ruby to
take on the
best skiers
• By Fiona Ellis
RUBY HEWITT has been
hitting the slopes since she was
just three-years-old, and her
hard work is set to pay off as she
prepares to pit her skills against
the world’s best young skiers.
The 15-year-old has been
chosen to compete at the 2022
Freeride Junior World Championships
in Europe.
This will be the first taste of
international competition for
the Rangi Ruru student, who
last month won the under-18
women’s ski category at the New
Zealand junior freeride nationals.
Being selected to represent
New Zealand in Europe came as
a shock to her, because usually,
those who were chosen were
in their final year of the junior
category.
“Just to get there in this Covid
world will be amazing,” she said.
While competing in Europe,
her aim was simply to make the
most of the experience.
Although she was not looking
further into the future than this,
she had no plan to hang up her
skis.
“Skiing will be a lifelong passion
for me. I would love to juggle
competing and a career.”
She was drawn to compete in
the sport because of the friendly
atmosphere of the competitions,
she said.
“There is a really great group of
girls who are all super supportive
and fun.”
The skiers she looked up to
included New Zealanders Janina
Kuzma, Jess Hotter, and Craig
Murray, and Italian Arianna
Tricomi.
In spite of injuries and near
misses, she believes a day on the
snow is better than a day off it.
AIRBORNE: Rangi Ruru Girls’ School year 11 student, Ruby Hewitt, 15, has been named in the New Zealand freeride team
that will compete in the extreme sports event in Europe next year.

However, love of skiing was
not instantaneous for Ruby.
When she was first introduced to
it, she “hated” the sport.
She changed her mind after

those around her at the skifield
near her family’s holiday home.
“Skiing is one of our family
sports but skiing with friends
made it more fun and we had
a great group of kids at Mt
Olympus to push each other and
improve,” Ruby said.
Freeride skiing was her
preferred style because of the
creativity it allowed.
“It’s not like in ski racing
where you have a set path and
turn between the gates. You have
to choose your path and what
you’re going to jump off and
decide what trick you’re going to
do in the air—it’s really fun.”
Picking her route to follow was
the most challenging part of the
sport, because of the uncertainty
of how it would work out, but
was also the most rewarding
when it went well.
While in action, she had three
key words on her mind: “focus,
fluid and fast.”

Term 3 Update
37 Cunningham Pl, Halswell | Ph. 03 322 8735

Term 3 in Kōmingo Year 5-6
It has been a bit of a stop-start term with Christchurch, along with
the rest of the nation, going into lockdown for a period of time
during the term. Aside from our regular diet of literacy, numeracy
and integrated learning, students have been involved in art and
sport options. The popular kapa haka and choir have again
proven to be Friday favourites. We asked students to identify their
highlights for the term. Here is what some of them had to say.
My highlight for this term was the Canterbury Primary Schools
basketball tournament and winter sport. Winter sport was fun. I got in
for hockey with my friend and I really enjoyed it. For basketball I trialed
for the South West Girl’s team. I got into the team and we went to the
south west zones and got second. Then we went to Canterbury’s and
got 8th. I really enjoyed basketball and winter sport. Another thing I
enjoyed was arts rotation; I had a lot of fun in drama.
- nā Kaiya
My highlight for this term is the silhouette art. I really enjoyed creating a piece of art that was all about things
that represented me such as me, my friends and much more. I also enjoyed doing rad rhythm with Mr Hillary.
Another thing I liked doing was the writing test. I wrote about a girl named Missy who kept seeing faces in
paintings, hearing strange noises and things were disappearing normally, stuff she really needed. The last
thing I enjoyed was sports doing high jump, shot put, discus and sprints.
- nā Lillie
My highlight this term was silhouette art because I like to do art. I also enjoyed the arts rotation. I got to do
drama this term. My favourite part of drama was when we played experts. Something else I liked was high
jump because I like to jump over the bar.
- nā Alex
A highlight for me this term was doing silhouette art because I have enjoyed drawing things that represent me.
Also I have enjoyed doing sprints and the funny relays like bear crawl. Another of my highlights is drums
because we are working on a piece from Rad Rhythm.
- nā Emma
Something that I have really enjoyed this term was: when we would put marbles in the jar, and if we got it full,
we got free time. Also I have enjoyed doing art, drama and drums; doing sprints, relays, high jump and discus.
I also really enjoyed doing the mufti day on 24th of September which was when we wore mufti to school and
brought a gold coin donation. A highlight was also when I tried out for the netball team.

Week 9 in Rurutu Year 1-2
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
(STEM)
We have been starting our end of learning projects. We
all opted in to different projects, involving technology/
coding (2 teachers taking different projects), creating
recycled art, creating an animal and habitat, or creating
a solar system. These projects are based on what we
have learnt so far in science, and provide a vehicle for
students to show what they have learnt, and explore
their chosen topic on a deeper level.
Maths
This week we have been continuing to work on position
and orientation as well as revising shape. We have been
looking at mazes as well as exploring 3D shapes.
Literacy
We have been busy writing letters. Some of us wrote
thank you letters to friends, family and teachers, others
got a head start on their Christmas letters to Santa.
Sign Language
We have been practicing our sign language and sharing
this with people all over the school. The new entrants
and rurutu met up on Thursday morning to show each
other the NZSL songs we have been learning.
Canterbury Chess Tournament
Oaklands Te Kura o Ōwaka competed in this year’s Canterbury Interschool
Chess Tournament. We had 7 teams competing across both the Year 1-6
divisions and the Year 7-8 divisions. In total there were 28 Oaklands Te Kura
o Ōwaka students representing the school.
Results: Well done to all our chess players that came along and enjoyed their
day in the social grade having the opportunity to expand and improve their
chess skills against all the other schools that were there. The Year 1-6 B grade
had a fun day and learned many new techniques and strategies. Well done to
Griffin, Arham, River and Mahek for coming 15th overall.
The Canterbury Chess Tournament was really fun. I wish I could go again.
I learnt many new moves and techniques to help me get better at
playing chess. I won one of my games and sadly lost the other three.
Griffin Year 1-6 Grade B Captain
The Year 7-8 Grade A division did well, winning some of their games and
ending 9th overall in the standings. Well done to Patrick, Lukas, Jaydeep and
Charlie.
The Year 1-6 Grade A team did well winning many of their games and coming
in 8th overall. Well done to Didi, Amelia, Marcus and Ryan.
3rd Place in the Year 7-8 Intermediate Grade B Division
Congratulations to The Year 7-8 Grade B team for coming in 3rd place!
Awesome work, Winston, Jesslyn, Matthew and Luke.
The fences have finally gone!
And finally.....the rebuild has come to an end.
Earlier this week the last of the fencing was removed

known as Rooms 12 & 13. A big thank you to Hann
Construction and also to Site Manager Jason for

Girls’ team took on the best schools Canterbury had
to offer.
After an excellent result at the SW zone tournament,
the Year 5-6 girls were back over to Pioneer Stadium
for the Canterbury tournament. The competition was
naturally tougher, and the girls were asked to dig deep
into their energy reserves, and we are pleased to say
that they represented Oaklands with great pride and

Finishing 2nd in their pool play saw the girls through to
the top 8 playoffs, which is an awesome achievement.

of the 18 teams competing, which is the highest we
have ever placed with a Year 5-6 Girls’ team.

Musical siblings in
composer awards
THOMAS AND Eva Bedggood
have been playing music together
since they were young children.
And now they are sharing the
experience of taking part in an
award for young composers.
The Canterbury University
music students have been chosen
for the NZSO Todd Corporation
Young Composer Awards.
The award gives them
the opportunity to travel to
Wellington next month and hear
their compositions workshopped
and performed by the New
Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
The works will also be recorded
by RNZ Concert.
They are two of the eight young
composers from around New
Zealand chosen to participate in
the award this year.
Thomas, 20, plays the violin
and Eva, 18, plays the trumpet
and piano.
Thomas, who is in his
fourth year of an honours degree
in music, was selected for the
same NZSO award last year,
which inspired Eva, a first-year
student, to enter for the first
time.
“I never imagined that I
would get in because I’m pretty
young and I don’t think they
often have first years. It was
EXPERIENCE: Thomas and
Eva Bedggood have been
playing music together since
they were children.
awesome to hear we’d both got in
because now we get to have this
experience together,” she said.
The pair have different
inspirations behind their
compositions and their
successful pieces are very
distinct. Eva is interested in film
scoring and finds inspiration in
nature and history while Thomas
says his ideas come from colours,
light, stories and poetry.
They will have an expert
composer-mentor to help them
through the process and their
piece of music will be performed
by the NZSO.

fast balls in
pre-season
tournament
Halswell Hornets pitcher
Harrison Bruhns-Croy put
some fast balls in during
his team’s game against
the Rolleston Razorbacks
at the Halswell Fastball45
softball tournament on
Saturday.
The Hornets were
taking part in a preseason
tournament at
Halswell Domain, which
attracted five women’s and
seven men’s teams from
Christchurch and Nelson.
Fastball45 is a fast-paced
softball tournament, where
each game starts with two
runners already on bases
and lasts 45min, or four
innings, which ever comes
first.
While fast-paced, the
game is also tactical with a
lot of bunts, hits and runs,
and squeeze plays called
by the coaches.
