FOR DEAF and blind sculptor<br />
Donald Gibson of New<br />
Brighton, it’s all about the touch<br />
and memory as he turns a large<br />
piece of Mt Somers limestone<br />
into a bird.<br />
A distant memory of seeing<br />
a seagull gliding on a breeze at<br />
the beach, when he was much<br />
younger and had partial sight,<br />
allowed him to make a detailed<br />
clay model of it. Now he’s<br />
transforming that memory into<br />
a large stone sculpture.<br />
But it won’t be a short-term<br />
exercise as Mt Somers stone<br />
is hard, much harder than<br />
Oamaru stone.<br />
Its very denseness allows<br />
artists to get clean, sharp lines,<br />
making it highly valued for its<br />
quality and durability.<br />
A fully-sighted artist would<br />
rip into it using a variety of<br />
power tools, helping the bird<br />
emerge from within the stone,<br />
but for Gibson, using only his<br />
hands and a small number of<br />
tools, his many friends expect<br />
it will take him several years to<br />
complete, but he’s got the time.<br />
Every day he sits in the New<br />
Brighton community garden<br />
space at the Rawhiti Domain,<br />
tapping away with his chisels.<br />

Discounts offered for<br />
2nd birthday celebrations<br />
Specialist shoe store The Shoe Room in Upper<br />
Riccarton is celebrating its second birthday, and to<br />
mark the milestone they are running a week-long<br />
discount promotion.<br />
From Monday, <strong>November</strong> 22 through to Saturday,<br />
<strong>November</strong> 27, customers are invited to participate<br />
in a Lucky Dip, in which they will receive discount<br />
vouchers ranging in value from 20 per cent to 50 per<br />
cent for any purchase made on the day.<br />
The locally owned business was established by<br />
Podiatrist Charlotte Russell in <strong>November</strong> 2019 to<br />
complement her podiatry clinic Feet First, located in<br />
Main South Road.<br />
Carol, left, and Maxine display examples of the<br />
new summer collection at The Shoe Room.<br />
Charlotte freely admits, it has been a hard two years.<br />
“We opened just a few months before the first<br />
lockdown and with the ongoing Covid restrictions it’s<br />
been difficult. But we are still here and very excited to<br />
celebrate our second birthday!”<br />
Despite the pandemic-related problems retailers<br />
have faced, The Shoe Room has established a loyal<br />
customer base, which Charlotte attributes to the<br />
service and personal attention customers receive<br />
from the team.<br />
“That’s our point of difference. The shop manager<br />
Maxine and shop assistants Carol and Maree are<br />
friendly and welcoming, so they are able to build<br />
a rapport with customers by providing that allimportant<br />
personal service and expertise, making<br />
sure customers get shoes that fit correctly, are<br />
comfortable and look fabulous on their feet.”<br />
Now, with the arrival of spring, The Shoe Room has<br />
received an exciting new range of footwear for the<br />
warmer months ahead. The selection includes the<br />
popular Archie jandals from Australia. Made from EVA<br />
rubber, these jandals mould to the shape of the foot,<br />
making them very comfortable and easy to wear, plus<br />
they are available in several fresh, summery colours.<br />
Among the other quality brands on display are<br />
Frankie 4, also from Australia, and the ever-popular<br />
Ziera, with many styles designed to accommodate<br />
orthotics.<br />
The Shoe Room is located at Unit 3, 355 Riccarton Road, opposite the Lone Star.<br />
Opening hours are Monday 10am - 5.30pm, Tuesday to Thursday 9.30am - 5.30pm,<br />

footwear during next week’s birthday celebrations<br />

The face mask that doesn’t cause fogging<br />
NO FOGGING: New Brighton<br />
Stitch-O-Mat facilitator<br />
Julie Donaldson stumbled<br />
across the mask cure-all in a<br />
YouTube video clip.<br />

• By John Cosgrove<br />
FOR THOSE who wear glasses,<br />
Covid-mandated face masks<br />
are a daily nuisance as they<br />
constantly cause specs to fog up,<br />
but a solution is on hand.<br />
New Brighton Stitch-O-Mat<br />
facilitator Julie Donaldson said<br />
she recently stumbled across the<br />
mask cure-all in a YouTube video<br />
clip and was so impressed she<br />
sent the link to fellow facilitator<br />
Samantha Fay.<br />
“She made one within a couple<br />
of hours and thought it was a<br />
brilliant idea. We then both<br />
made some and offered them for<br />
sale in nearby charity shops,”<br />
Donaldson said.<br />
“They were snapped up and<br />
many people said they were life<br />
changing, as they stopped their<br />
glasses from fogging up when<br />
wearing masks.”<br />
Since then, Donaldson has<br />
been teaching people how to cut<br />
out, create and sew the layered<br />
cotton reusable masks, which<br />
have a extra material flap on<br />
their design that stops<br />
fogging.<br />
“It’s been a very popular<br />
sewing exercise and there is a lot<br />
of interest in making them<br />
at each of our sessions,” she<br />
said.<br />
Stitch-O-Mat is a community<br />
organisation that helps people<br />
with their sewing projects.<br />
Facilitators are available onsite<br />
for a couple of hours most<br />
days, including Sunday, to help<br />
those who want to use their<br />
facilities or learn how to sew or<br />
repair damaged clothing.<br />
Donaldson said Stitch-O-Mat<br />
has been in the Surfside Mall<br />
at New Brighton since Easter.<br />
They had to move from their<br />
original site inside the old New<br />
Brighton School, which has<br />
been scheduled for demolition<br />
to make way for a housing<br />
development.<br />

‘His art work speaks for him’<br />
• From page 1<br />
To observers, many said they can now<br />
see the obvious shape of a seagull rising<br />
from within the 23 million year-old stone<br />
chunk.<br />
Gibson, well known in the district for<br />
his stone sculptures, moved to the garden<br />
site after his original base at the former<br />
New Brighton school site was scheduled<br />
for demolition to make way for 65 new<br />
homes.<br />
Helped by fellow sculptor Julie Tuihana,<br />
Gibson uses Tuihana’s eyes to guide his<br />
hands, to feel the curves, to sense the<br />
shapes and to not cause injury to himself.<br />
As one quickly understands when you<br />
meet Gibson, his hands are his only means<br />
of communicating with the world.<br />
Carer Maree Bone acts as his voice using<br />
a special form of sign language he learnt<br />
before his sight impairment advanced<br />
Two children’s climbing<br />
boulders will be moved<br />
to QEll Park as part of the<br />
planned playground area.<br />
The proposal to install the<br />
climbing boulders at QEII<br />
was approved at a Coastal-<br />
Burwood Community<br />
Board meeting. The<br />
boulders, currently sitting<br />
in the central city on the<br />
corner of Manchester<br />
and Lichfiled Sts were<br />
first installed in 2016<br />
near the bus interchange<br />
before being moved to the<br />
East Frame in 20<strong>18</strong>. The<br />
community board is looking<br />
at concept plans for the<br />
installation of the boulders<br />
by the end of <strong>November</strong>.<br />
too far.<br />
She uses her fingers to touch his fingers,<br />
hands, arms, face and shoulders – and the<br />
pair talk about everything.<br />
“He’s pretty good at communicating<br />
with people and creating art works,” Bone<br />
said.<br />
“His art work also speaks for him as he<br />
makes these wonderful clay shapes, which<br />
he then uses as the base models for his<br />
larger stone pieces.”<br />
She said before Gibson lost his sight he<br />
was right into photography and many<br />
forms of multimedia art.<br />
“Losing his sight didn’t stop him, he<br />
just carried on with his passion for art, he<br />
knows what he wants and has been working<br />
with stone for over 30 years,” she said.<br />
Gibson said he welcomes visitors to the<br />
garden, to call in and have a look at what<br />
he is doing.<br />

Gosh its fast approaching<br />
that magical, happy, exciting<br />
time of the year - the lead up<br />
to Christmas and the summer<br />
holiday season. I really love<br />
December, although there is<br />
never enough hours in the day<br />
for all the things I need to get<br />
done. While it’s a chaotic time<br />
for us, it can also spell disaster<br />
for our pets. Below are some<br />
Christmas dangers to keep a<br />
watch on.<br />
Here is a list of FOODS to look<br />
out for<br />
1. Chocolate is poisonous<br />
(tachycardia , seizures, vomiting, diarrhoea) so<br />
make sure you don’t leave chocolate under the<br />
tree or in easy to reach places as chances are, it<br />
will be found. Chocolate contains the stimulant “<br />
theobromine” which is lethal.<br />
2. Christmas pudding and fruit cakes contain<br />
raisins (grapes) which are toxic to your pets<br />
kidneys leading to lethargy, vomiting and thirst.<br />
3. Alcohol and caffeine are also toxic too. Alcohol<br />
can be found also in Christmas cakes and as little<br />
as one ounce of alcohol can kill a cat.<br />
4. Avocados contain persin which causes<br />
symptoms from vomiting and diarrhoea to<br />
cardiac arrest.<br />
5. Macadamia nuts cause vomiting, weakness<br />
and tremors.<br />
6. Onions and chives contain disulphides which<br />
damage your pets RBCs.<br />
7. Pits and seeds of plums, peaches and apples<br />
have a substance that degrades to cyanide<br />
which is toxic. Large stones can also cause<br />
intestinal blockage.<br />
8. Xylitol (an ingredient in chewing gum) causes<br />
HYPOglycaemia in dogs and can lead to seizures<br />
and liver failure in severe cases.<br />
9. Corn cobs should never be allowed to be<br />
chewed on as they will obstruct in the small<br />
intestine requiring surgery.<br />
10. Turkey, crackling, salmon skins, fatty meats,<br />
sausages can all cause vomiting and diarrhoea<br />
and may lead to pancreatitis.<br />
11. Blue cheese contains<br />
Roquefortine C, which is very<br />
sensitive to dogs.<br />
Other potential hazards<br />
include<br />
- Christmas decorations that<br />
can be swallowed.<br />
- SNOW Globes as they contain<br />
“Anti Freeze”. 1 tsp is lethal to<br />
a cat.<br />
- Cover up cords used to light<br />
the tree to avoid an electric<br />
shock or any tongue/ gum<br />
lacerationsl<br />
- Secure the tree so if scaled by<br />
your cat, it wont fall over and crush<br />
the cat.<br />
- Keep tree lights and candles away<br />
from pets to avoid shocks and burns.<br />
- Pine needles are toxic if ingested<br />
and can cause internal puncture<br />
wounds.<br />
- Sparkley tinsel is attractive to cats,<br />
but if ingested will require surgical<br />
intervention as it gets bound up in the<br />
gastrointestinal tract.<br />
- Wrapping paper - if enough is ingested it will<br />
obstruct the bowel.<br />
Heading into this festive season, make sure you<br />
have their vaccinations, flea and worming up<br />
to date, so if a vacation stay is likely, their health<br />

CATTERY if you fury friend<br />
needs a place to be cared<br />
for while you take a summer<br />
holiday. Do thorough research<br />
before selecting a a boarding<br />
facility to make sure its the<br />
right fit for your pet.<br />
Avoid HEATSTROKE by never<br />
leaving your dog in a car with<br />
inadequate ventilation. Four<br />
windows opened a fraction<br />
doesn’t qualify. Dogs can also<br />
suffer heatstroke left in a yard<br />
with no water or shade, if exercising heavily in<br />
the heat, dogs being muzzled for long periods in<br />
the heat or being exposed to a hairdryer for too<br />
long. Dogs with a restricted airway (such as the<br />
brachycephalic breeds, pugs, boxers, bulldogs)<br />
are at an increased risk again.<br />
A dogs body temperature can elevate quickly<br />
in a car getting up over 41 degrees. A dog in<br />
heat stroke is agitated, breathing rapidly, has dry<br />
dark red gums, can be disorientated and can<br />
seizure. Animals have only a small amount of<br />
sweat glands located in their footpads making<br />
sweating minimal, so their primary way of<br />
regulating body temperature is by panting. Safe,<br />
controlled reduction in body temperature is<br />
achieved by pouring cool water completely over<br />
the dog, and then draping wet towels over and<br />
taking regular temperatures.<br />
Holiday house plants decorate a room but can<br />
be lethal to pets. Most cause intestinal upsets<br />
or renal disease. Some common plants to watch<br />
for are lillies, Azaleas, Ivy, Mistletoe, Holly and<br />
Chrysanthrmums.<br />
Toys and batteries are a no go too. Ingested<br />
they can cause renal damage and pancreatitis<br />
if they contain Zinc. Intestinal blockage is also<br />
a real possibility - not an expense you want on<br />
Christmas morning at the After Hours.<br />
There are more folks out and about enjoying<br />
their dogs, so please keep social distancing, and<br />
keep a close eye on doggie interactions. Dog<br />
fight wounds can be real nasty<br />
and require an anaesthetic to<br />
debride and close.<br />
Also make sure your pet is<br />
MICROCHIPPED and registered<br />
on the NZL database in case of<br />
misadventure or wandering off.<br />
On an aside, Macy (our <strong>18</strong><br />
month old Lab) and Maximus<br />
(our 7.5kg Ginger cat) both<br />
underwent surgical operations<br />
recently, successfully I<br />
might add. Macy had<br />
her big girl operation<br />
- Ovariohysterectomy”<br />
and Maximus got into<br />
a nasty altercation with<br />
a newcomer to the<br />
neighbourhood, which<br />
resulted in a corneal<br />
laceration. Very lucky<br />
his dad is the EYE vet.<br />
Steve operated after work<br />
one night by suturing a<br />
conjunctival graft over the<br />
lacerated cornea. Max now<br />
has full sight back in both<br />
eyes and no more “heats”<br />
for Miss Macy.<br />
Merry Christmas to you all and THANKYOU for<br />

NEW RELEASES<br />
Will<br />
by Will smith and mark manson<br />
The ‘Event’ Autobiography of the Year - a brave, inspiring and wildly<br />
entertaining memoir full of self-help lessons for readers, from one of the<br />
world’s most charismatic and much-loved actors. One of the most dynamic<br />
and globally recognised entertainment forces of our time opens up fully about<br />
his life, in a brave and inspiring book that traces his learning curve to a place<br />
where outer success, inner happiness, and human connection are aligned.<br />
Along the way, Will tells the story in full of one of the most amazing rides<br />
through the worlds of music and film that anyone has ever had. This memoir<br />
is the product of a profound journey of self-knowledge, a reckoning with all<br />
that your will can get you and all that it can leave behind. The combination<br />
of genuine wisdom of universal value and a life story that is preposterously<br />
entertaining, even astonishing, puts Will the book, like its author, in a category<br />
by itself.<br />
Shackleton - A biography<br />
by ranulph Fiennes<br />
An authoritative biography of Sir Ernest Shackleton from polar adventurer<br />
Ranulph Fiennes. In 1915, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s attempt to traverse the<br />
Antarctic was cut short when his ship, Endurance, became trapped in ice.<br />
The disaster left Shackleton and his men alone at the frozen South Pole,<br />
fighting for their lives. Their survival and escape is the most famous<br />
adventure in history. Shackleton is an engaging new account of the<br />
adventurer, his life and his incredible leadership under the most extreme of<br />
circumstances. Written by polar adventurer Sir Ranulph Fiennes who followed<br />
in Shackleton’s footsteps, he brings his own unique insights to bear on these<br />
infamous expeditions.<br />
Shackleton is both re-appraisal and a valediction, separating the man from<br />
the myth he has become.<br />
The Spirit of Cardrona: Where Dreams<br />
are Hatched<br />
the inspirational story of the cardrona distillery<br />
by desiree reid-Whitaker<br />
‘Ever since I was really little, I have dreamed big dreams. It’s nice to imagine what<br />
could be, and leave it at that. But I’ve never been that sort of dreamer. I’ve always<br />
wanted to take one of my dreams, find just the right one-and turn it into something<br />
real.’ The Spirit of Cardrona is the story of how former dairy-farmer Desiree<br />
Reid-Whitaker and her husband Ash took a risk to realise a dream of setting up<br />
a world-class distillery. Their quest to produce a single-malt whisky that would<br />
compete with the best whiskies in the world is classic story of Kiwi persistence,<br />
sacrifice and self-made success. It’s also a modern-day tale of living off the land in<br />
the high-country. The Spirit of Cardrona is an inspirational business story that will<br />
appeal to anyone who loves a bold, brave and brilliant entrepreneur.<br />
Last Shot<br />
by Jock Zonfrillo<br />
A coming-of-age memoir of addiction, ambition and redemption in the highstakes<br />
world of Michelin star kitchens. From reckless drug addict to one of<br />
Australia’s top chefs and television stars: MasterChef judge Jock Zonfrillo’s<br />
powerful life story will shock and inspire. Jock’s life spiralled out of control<br />
when he tried heroin for the first time as a teenager while growing up in 1980s<br />
Glasgow. For years he balanced a career as a rising star amongst legendary<br />
chefs with a crippling drug addiction that took him down many dark paths. On<br />
New Year’s Eve 1999, Jock shot up his last shot of heroin before boarding a<br />
plane to Sydney, where he would find passion and new meaning in life in the<br />
most unexpected places. There would be more struggles ahead, including two<br />
failed marriages, the closure of his prized restaurant during COVID-19, his time<br />
on-country, and some very public battles. This is his unforgettable story.<br />
Clare Reilly: Eye of the Calm<br />
by clare reilly<br />
An exploration of New Zealand painter Clare Reilly’s life and work. The<br />
mixture of autobiographical writing and gorgeous paintings subtly shows<br />
how Reilly’s art and experiences are entwined. Her themes cover the issues<br />
of habitat destruction and renewal, depicting native New Zealand birds in<br />
the landscape as metaphors for joy. In an increasingly troubled and fast<br />
paced world, Reilly’s work offers the viewer a place to reflect on the healing<br />
qualities of nature and gather a sense of revitalisation. ‘Eye of the Calm’<br />
was an exhibition title used by Reilly as an expression of her life’s work.<br />
This expression is continued here with an insight into her beginnings as an<br />
artist and her subsequent career. Reilly has a strong connection to coastal<br />
New Zealand and a great love of the country’s wildlife. A beautiful, meditative<br />
exploration of a life and a life’s work.<br />

Clean up a way of giving back to the river<br />
PROACTIVE: Shirley Boys’ High School rowing<br />
team, which undertook a river clean up, and<br />
some of the rubbish they collected.<br />
• By John Cosgrove<br />
PICKING UP rubbish from both<br />
sides of the Avon River around<br />
the Kerrs Reach area was a<br />
community project undertaken<br />
by the Shirley Boys’ High School<br />
rowing team.<br />
The river clean up was, as they<br />
saw it, a way of giving back to<br />
the river, a place they use heavily<br />
during the summer rowing<br />
season.<br />
Shirley BHS outdoor and<br />
physical education teacher Roger<br />
Miller said it was a good idea by<br />
the students.<br />
“The concept in itself is an<br />
interesting one, as often people<br />
who partake in leisure activities<br />
– for example, mountain biking,<br />
fishing, surfing – use the natural<br />
environments around them, but<br />
what do they give back to these<br />
places?” he said.<br />
“This message of kaitiakitanga<br />
is one we are trying to get across<br />
to not only our sports teams,<br />
but all of our students at<br />
Shirley Boys’ High School.”<br />
He said the boys sought help<br />
from organisations such as the<br />
Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai<br />
Trust, which supplied the team<br />
with equipment, such as needle<br />
containers, as they tackled<br />
the clean up on both sides of<br />
the river near the rowing club<br />
buildings.<br />
“A total of 25 lads from the<br />
school’s rowing squad took part,<br />
and we took about two hours to<br />
collect the rubbish from both<br />
sides of the Ōtakaro.<br />
“We wanted to show people that<br />
youth are keen on giving back to<br />
the land, and this also may inspire<br />
other sports groups, including<br />
other rowing teams, to do the<br />
same,” Miller said.<br />
It’s our<br />
2nd<br />
birthday<br />

Community tool shed now up and running<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
AIMING TO fix a community<br />
problem, Steve Jones-Poole has<br />
not just one tool at his disposal,<br />
but more than 200.<br />
He is the co-ordinator of the<br />
recently opened Shirley Tool<br />
Shed, which lends tools to the<br />
community for a yearly membership<br />
cost of $20.<br />
Jones-Poole said it was a high<br />
social-housing area, and people<br />
may not have access to affordable<br />
equipment for DIY and repair<br />
projects.<br />
“People just don’t have access<br />
to tools that they need to maintain<br />
their properties,” he said.<br />
“Someone could walk in there<br />
with nothing and walk out with<br />
everything they need to build a<br />
deck,” he said.<br />
House-cleaning equipment,<br />
such as mops and brooms, were<br />
also available to borrow, as was<br />
gardening equipment, from<br />
rakes to weed eaters.<br />
Since a jigsaw sliced through<br />
a wooden ribbon to officially<br />
open the shed two weeks ago,<br />
membership had been quietly<br />
building.<br />
“Our first hire was somebody<br />
who had a property inspection<br />
coming up. They hired the vacuum<br />
cleaner so they could clean<br />
the house, and they’ve since been<br />
back and got gardening tools and<br />
mowers and that sort of thing.”<br />
Jones-Poole said the shed was<br />
“doing exactly what we hoped”.<br />
It was also a good community<br />
connection point that would<br />
reach a new demographic,<br />
he said.<br />
“Some people won’t go and sit<br />
down at the community cafe, but<br />
they’ll come along and talk tools.”<br />
Jones-Poole was “very pleased”<br />
that the tool shed was now up<br />
and running.<br />
A Shirley Village Project community<br />
activator, the shed had<br />
been a goal of his for a few years,<br />
but time had been needed to<br />
organise the project and secure<br />
donations and equipment.<br />
“We’re working with residents<br />
to identify what’s important to<br />
them in the community and<br />
what they would like to see<br />
FIX IT: Shirley<br />
Tool Shed<br />
co-ordinator<br />

project is<br />

Located at 33 Briggs Rd, the<br />
tool shed is open on Wednesdays<br />
from 4-6pm.<br />

together. It will be a wetter mix<br />
than traditional bread dough.<br />
Scrape the dough into a<br />

then decoratively place veggies<br />
on top.<br />
Think about a bouquet of<br />
flowers while you are doing it.<br />
Drizzle with more olive oil and<br />
set aside for an hour to prove.<br />
Once it has doubled in size<br />
(at least), drizzle with more oil,<br />
sprinkle with salt and pop into<br />
a pre-heated 190 deg C oven for<br />
around 30min until browned<br />
on top but the veggies still hold<br />
their colour.<br />

walnut sauce (except lemon<br />
juice) in a high-speed blender<br />
and let soak for 30min. Add<br />
lemon juice and blend until<br />
smooth and thick. Season to<br />
taste, then chill.<br />
Layer all salad ingredients<br />
together (except baby greens)<br />

into your pastry-lined tart tin.<br />
With a vegetable peeler or<br />
mandolin slice, thin strips of<br />
your veggies. Working from the<br />
inside out, place vegetable slices<br />

Minor amendment to the enrolment scheme<br />
of Queenspark School<br />
The Ministry of Education is proposing a minor amendment to<br />
the enrolment scheme of Queenspark School. This is to update<br />
the home zone to better identify which properties are within the<br />
zone.<br />
This minor amendment clarifies the zone boundary – both written<br />
and drawn. To view the map and written description, please go to<br />
https://consultation.education.govt.nz/education/queensparkschool-minor-amendment.<br />
There are no changes to any individual’s eligibility to enrol as a<br />
result of this minor amendment.<br />
The enrolment of out-of-zone students is governed by the<br />
provisions of the Education and Training Act 2020.<br />

The Ministry of Education has been working with<br />
Haeata Community Campus to establish an amendment<br />
to our current enrolment scheme to include a special<br />
programme - Special Programme - Māori Medium<br />
Bilingual - Te Reo Māori.<br />
A special programme is defined in Section 10 of the Education<br />
and Training Act 2020 as one that has been approved by the<br />
Secretary of Education for the following reasons:<br />
i) it provides Māori language immersion classes that take a<br />
significantly different approach in order to address particular<br />
ākonga needs;<br />
ii) it would not be viable unless it could draw from a catchment<br />
area beyond the school’s home zone;<br />
iii) entry is determined by an organisation or process that is<br />
independent of the school.<br />
Haeata Community Campus requires an amendment to our<br />
enrolment scheme to include a special programme based on te<br />
reo Māori me ōna tikanga.<br />
Criteria for Enrolment<br />
1. Special Programme - Māori Medium Bilingual - Te Reo Māori<br />
Ākonga who meet the criteria for enrolment in the Special<br />
Programme - Māori Medium Bilingual - Te Reo Māori and live<br />
within the Haeata Community Campus home zone must be<br />
enrolled ahead of out of zone students.<br />
2. Out-of-zone ākonga who meet the criteria for enrolment in<br />
Special Programme - Māori Medium Bilingual - Te Reo Māori<br />
have priority in enrolment above all other out-of-zone ākonga<br />
while Special Programme - Māori Medium Bilingual - Te Reo<br />
Māori places are available.<br />
3. All ākonga who live within the Haeata Community Campus<br />
home zone will have an entitlement to attend the kura. This<br />
amendment does not change the home zone already approved for<br />
Haeata Community Campus.<br />
The Haeata Community’s Campus board feels it is very important<br />
that it hears and understands community perspectives before it<br />
establishes this amendment to the enrolment scheme at Haeata<br />
Community Campus – especially the wording of the proposed<br />
special programme.<br />
The information listed below is available on the kura’s website<br />
and from the reception desk. Please take the time to read the<br />
information and to participate in the consultation process.<br />
The amended enrolment scheme to include the Special<br />
Programme - Māori Medium Bilingual - Te Reo Māori will<br />
commence from 01 January, 2022.<br />
The purpose of an enrolment scheme is to assist the Board to<br />
manage the risk of overcrowding, provide a fair and transparent<br />
process for enrolment and to ensure the best decisions are made<br />
around the use of schooling facilities across the network of local<br />
schools.<br />
