Bid to ease congestion 

with more bus lanes 

IMPROVED reliability is the 

driver behind a proposal to 

install more peak hour bus lanes 

on busy Lincoln Rd. 

The city council has already 

decided to install peak hour bus 

lanes on both sides of Lincoln 

Rd, between Moorhouse and 

Whiteleigh Aves, with work on 

that project due to start early in 

the New Year. 

Now, the city council is 

consulting the public about 

extending the bus lanes along the 

stretch of Lincoln Rd between 

Whiteleigh Ave and Curletts Rd. 

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport 

Agency is also planning to install 

bus lanes along Halswell Rd, 

from Curletts Rd to Dunbars Rd. 

This project will tie into both. 

“The 

southwest of 

Christchurch 

is growing fast, 

with 35,000 

people expected 

to move into the 

area over the 

Lynette Ellis 

next 30 years. 

This growth 

is going to put 

pressure on our travel network so 

we need to prepare and plan for 

a better way for people to travel 

to and from the city,’’ said city 

council acting head of transport 

Lynette Ellis.

traffic congestion and carbon 

emissions by carrying more 

people per trip.

going by bus a more attractive 

option for people. 

It is proposed the city-bound 

peak hour bus lane between 

Whiteleigh Ave and Curletts Rd 

will operate from 7am to 9am on 

weekdays, while the Halswellbound 

bus lane will operate from 

3pm to 6pm weekdays. There’s 

also a proposal for both bus lanes 

to run on Saturdays from 10am 

to 2pm. 

Said Ellis: “As part of the proposed 

bus lane work, we plan to 

make other changes to improve 

safety for all road users. 

“We’re installing a centre median 

to separate traffic lanes and 

prevent the potential for right 

turning crashes. The median

measures we’re undertaking 

include installing more pedestrian

well as relocating and installing

“Over the coming weeks we’re 

holding some drop-in sessions

Anzac fronds ‘unfurled’ in ceremony 

IN PLACE: The ceremony for the unveiling of the Anzac 

fronds was held on Monday. Mayor Lianne Dalziel and Aileen

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

FOUR ANZAC fronds have 

finally found a new home. 

A ceremony to mark the 

unveiling of the Anzac fronds in 

their new position at the Anzac 

Drive–New Brighton Rd intersection 

was held on Monday. The 

fronds, which were originally 

placed on Anzac Bridge in 2000, 

have been in storage since 2011, 

following the earthquakes. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel hosted 

the official “unfurling” of the 

fronds, which are made of preweathered 

steel. 

Celeste Donovan, who was 

recently elected Coastal Ward 

councillor, was also sworn in as a 

member of the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board at the event. 

Board chairman Kelly Barber 

said the fronds hold a special 

place in the hearts of local residents. 

“We are really pleased to have 

these unique pieces of art back 

on display in our community,” 

he said. 

“Their return represents 

another positive step in the 

recovery of our eastern community 

and having our new Coastal 

councillor sworn in at their new 

site is a nice touch.” 

“The board and residents are 

very grateful to Waka Kotahi 

New Zealand Transport Agency 

and everyone associated in any 

small way with their restoration.” 

The four fronds sit in concrete 

bases along the reserve land at 

the corner of the roundabout, 

connecting them with the Poppies 

over Gallipoli sculpture on 

the corner of Anzac Drive and 

Travis Rd. 

Funding for the redesign and 

installation of the fronds was 

provided by Waka Kotahi and 

the board.

Using touch to turn memory into art 

• By John Cosgrove 

FOR DEAF and blind sculptor 

Donald Gibson of New Brighton, 

it’s all about the touch and 

memory as he turns a large piece 

of Mt Somers limestone into a 

bird. 

A distant memory of seeing 

a seagull gliding on a breeze at 

the beach, when he was much 

younger and had partial sight, 

allowed him to make a detailed 

clay model of it. Now he’s transforming 

that memory into a large 

stone sculpture. 

But it won’t be a short-term 

exercise as Mt Somers stone is 

hard, much harder than Oamaru 

stone. 

Its very denseness allows artists 

to get clean, sharp lines, making 

it highly valued for its quality and 

durability. 

A fully-sighted artist would rip 

into it using a variety of power 

tools, helping the bird emerge 

from within the stone, but for 

Gibson, using only his hands 

and a small number of tools, his 

many friends expect it will take 

him several years to complete, 

but he’s got the time. 

Every day he sits in the New 

Brighton community garden 

space at the Rawhiti Domain, 

tapping away with his chisels. 

To observers, many said they 

can now see the obvious shape of 

a seagull rising from within the 

23 million year-old stone chunk. 

CREATING: Julie Tuihana uses her eyes to help guide Donald Gibson’s hands to sense the 

shapes and the surface of the stone. PHOTO: JOHN COSGROVE 

Gibson, well known in the 

district for his stone sculptures, 

moved to the garden site after his 

original base at the former New 

Brighton school site was scheduled 

for demolition to make way 

for 65 new homes. 

Helped by fellow sculptor Julie 

Tuihana, Gibson uses Tuihana’s 

eyes to guide his hands, to feel 

the curves, to sense the shapes 

and to not cause injury to himself. 

As one quickly understands 

when you meet Gibson, his hands 

are his only means of communicating 

with the world. 

Carer Maree Bone acts as his 

voice using a special form of sign 

language he learnt before his 

sight impairment advanced 

too far. 

She uses her fingers to touch 

his fingers, hands, arms, face 

and shoulders – and the pair talk 

about everything. 

“He’s pretty good at 

communicating with people and 

creating art works,” Bone said. 

“His art work also speaks for 

him as he makes these wonderful 

clay shapes, which he then uses 

as the base models for his larger 

stone pieces.” 

She said before Gibson lost 

his sight he was right into 

photography and many forms of 

multimedia art. 

“Losing his sight didn’t stop 

him, he just carried on with his 

passion for art, he knows what he 

wants and has been working with 

stone for over 30 years,” she said. 

Gibson said he welcomes 

visitors to the garden, to call in 

and have a look at what he is 

doing.

all those years ago,” said 

Korako. 

He said during his time 

on the board he has seen 

children being welcomed 

to Cholmondeley for 

different reasons than his 

own all those years ago. 

“Today we see very 

different circumstances 

due to the social disorders 

that plague our society, 

through drug and 

alcohol abuse leading to 

whānau violence and solo 

parenting, leaving deep 

scars on our children,” 

said Korako. 

Korako recently biked 

720km from Rāpaki to 

Bluff to fund raise for 

Renee Veal who needs 

a jaw reconstruction 

surgery. 

His trip contributed 

$35,000 towards the

Korako will be the first 

Māori patron for 

Cholmondeley.

Gosh its fast approaching 

that magical, happy, exciting 

time of the year - the lead up 

to Christmas and the summer 

holiday season. I really love 

December, although there is 

never enough hours in the day 

for all the things I need to get 

done. While it’s a chaotic time 

for us, it can also spell disaster 

for our pets. Below are some 

Christmas dangers to keep a 

watch on. 

Here is a list of FOODS to look 

out for 

1. Chocolate is poisonous 

(tachycardia , seizures, vomiting, diarrhoea) so 

make sure you don’t leave chocolate under the 

tree or in easy to reach places as chances are, it 

will be found. Chocolate contains the stimulant “ 

theobromine” which is lethal. 

2. Christmas pudding and fruit cakes contain 

raisins (grapes) which are toxic to your pets 

kidneys leading to lethargy, vomiting and thirst. 

3. Alcohol and caffeine are also toxic too. Alcohol 

can be found also in Christmas cakes and as little 

as one ounce of alcohol can kill a cat. 

4. Avocados contain persin which causes 

symptoms from vomiting and diarrhoea to 

cardiac arrest. 

5. Macadamia nuts cause vomiting, weakness 

and tremors. 

6. Onions and chives contain disulphides which 

damage your pets RBCs. 

7. Pits and seeds of plums, peaches and apples 

have a substance that degrades to cyanide 

which is toxic. Large stones can also cause 

intestinal blockage. 

8. Xylitol (an ingredient in chewing gum) causes 

HYPOglycaemia in dogs and can lead to seizures 

and liver failure in severe cases. 

9. Corn cobs should never be allowed to be 

chewed on as they will obstruct in the small 

intestine requiring surgery. 

10. Turkey, crackling, salmon skins, fatty meats, 

sausages can all cause vomiting and diarrhoea 

and may lead to pancreatitis. 

11. Blue cheese contains 

Roquefortine C, which is very 

sensitive to dogs. 

Other potential hazards 

include 

- Christmas decorations that 

can be swallowed. 

- SNOW Globes as they contain 

“Anti Freeze”. 1 tsp is lethal to 

a cat. 

- Cover up cords used to light 

the tree to avoid an electric 

shock or any tongue/ gum 

lacerationsl 

- Secure the tree so if scaled by 

your cat, it wont fall over and crush 

the cat. 

- Keep tree lights and candles away 

from pets to avoid shocks and burns. 

- Pine needles are toxic if ingested 

and can cause internal puncture 

wounds. 

- Sparkley tinsel is attractive to cats, 

but if ingested will require surgical 

intervention as it gets bound up in the 

gastrointestinal tract. 

- Wrapping paper - if enough is ingested it will 

obstruct the bowel. 

Heading into this festive season, make sure you 

have their vaccinations, flea and worming up 

to date, so if a vacation stay is likely, their health

won’t be compromised. We 

have a warm, well ventilated, 

very clean and quiet upstairs 

CATTERY if you fury friend 

needs a place to be cared 

for while you take a summer 

holiday. Do thorough research 

before selecting a a boarding 

facility to make sure its the 

right fit for your pet. 

Avoid HEATSTROKE by never 

leaving your dog in a car with 

inadequate ventilation. Four 

windows opened a fraction 

doesn’t qualify. Dogs can also 

suffer heatstroke left in a yard 

with no water or shade, if exercising heavily in 

the heat, dogs being muzzled for long periods in 

the heat or being exposed to a hairdryer for too 

long. Dogs with a restricted airway (such as the 

brachycephalic breeds, pugs, boxers, bulldogs) 

are at an increased risk again. 

A dogs body temperature can elevate quickly 

in a car getting up over 41 degrees. A dog in 

heat stroke is agitated, breathing rapidly, has dry 

dark red gums, can be disorientated and can 

seizure. Animals have only a small amount of 

sweat glands located in their footpads making 

sweating minimal, so their primary way of 

regulating body temperature is by panting. Safe, 

controlled reduction in body temperature is 

achieved by pouring cool water completely over 

the dog, and then draping wet towels over and 

taking regular temperatures. 

Holiday house plants decorate a room but can 

be lethal to pets. Most cause intestinal upsets 

or renal disease. Some common plants to watch 

for are lillies, Azaleas, Ivy, Mistletoe, Holly and 

Chrysanthrmums. 

Toys and batteries are a no go too. Ingested 

they can cause renal damage and pancreatitis 

if they contain Zinc. Intestinal blockage is also 

a real possibility - not an expense you want on 

Christmas morning at the After Hours. 

There are more folks out and about enjoying 

their dogs, so please keep social distancing, and 

keep a close eye on doggie interactions. Dog 

fight wounds can be real nasty 

and require an anaesthetic to 

debride and close. 

Also make sure your pet is 

MICROCHIPPED and registered 

on the NZL database in case of 

misadventure or wandering off. 

On an aside, Macy (our 18 

month old Lab) and Maximus 

(our 7.5kg Ginger cat) both 

underwent surgical operations 

recently, successfully I 

might add. Macy had 

her big girl operation 

- Ovariohysterectomy” 

and Maximus got into 

a nasty altercation with 

a newcomer to the 

neighbourhood, which 

resulted in a corneal 

laceration. Very lucky 

his dad is the EYE vet. 

Steve operated after work 

one night by suturing a 

conjunctival graft over the 

lacerated cornea. Max now 

has full sight back in both 

eyes and no more “heats” 

for Miss Macy. 

Merry Christmas to you all and THANKYOU for 

supporting McMaster & Heap during a trying and 

difficult year living with Covid and trusting Steve, 

Michele and our brilliant team with your special 

furry friends, who we adore I might add.

No smooth journey back home for 

Mountain biker Ethan 

Rose is back home 

in Christchurch after 

competing in his first 

UCI Junior World Series. 

He talks to Fiona Ellis 

about the highlights 

and challenges that 

come with seven months 

of competing in Europe 

AS ETHAN ROSE tumbled to 

the ground in a tangle of spokes 

and handlebars, he knew the 

under-19 UCI mountain bike 

world championships race 

was going to contain an extra 

challenge. 

Half a year after Rose won the 

national under-19 championships 

in February, he was in Italy, 

competing in the world-class 

event for the first time. 

“Me and 

some other guy 

tangled bars 

going over the 

first 400 [metres] 

and both 

tumbled down 

the bank,” the 

Ethan Rose 

18-year-old said. 

Although 

uninjured, once he was back on 

track he realised he had lost precious 

time. 

“I came through the start 

loop, I think, two minutes back 

already, like 50th.” 

Pushing hard throughout the 

AIRBORNE: Ethan Rose hurdles an obstacle during a mountain bike race in Austria. 

rest of the race, he made a good 

recovery and finished in 12th. 

“I looked at my lap times at 

the end and I think they were 

like top-five kind of lap times, 

which was a bit frustrating,” 

Rose said. 

Although crowded tracks were 

a hazard of the sport, it was not 

one he often encountered on 

home territory. 

“There are way more people 

[in Europe] and they’re all quick 

people as well . . . the depth of 

field is just massive. 

“In New Zealand, you don’t 

really get that because there’s not 

that many of you.” 

Rose returned home last 

month after spending seven 

months in Europe competing 

in the junior world series, with 

the world championships as the 

main event. 

Based in Switzerland, he 

travelled around Europe to 

compete in a variety of countries, 

and had some good results, he 

said. This included winning a 

race in Austria, coming second 

in Switzerland, and third in races 

in Italy, France and Spain. 

“I was pretty happy with 

it. It was just good to get over 

there, really. Last year was a 

bit disappointing because we 

couldn’t do anything.” 

His plans to compete in 

Europe last year were scrapped 

after the outbreak of the 

Covid-19 pandemic, which also 

forced him to return to New 

Zealand shortly after arriving in 

the United States for what 

would have been a fourcompetition 

set. 

“It was quite hard to know 

what to do, really . . . it was 

training but without purpose.” 

Next year he will leave the 

junior category and compete in 

the under-23 age bracket and 

would be eligible to compete in 

the World Cup series, which was 

his goal. 

“It’s going to be a big step up 

but it should be good.” 

Older riders, who had made 

the jump from junior champions 

to World Cup competitors, were 

on hand for advice. 

“I do plenty of riding with 

them. They kind of tell you how 

it works.” 

Training six days out of seven 

for a weekly total of up to 25 

hours, the sport was almost a 

full-time job. 

When not training or 

competing, he also worked in 

an engineering workshop that 

allowed him a flexible schedule. 

He got into mountain biking at 

nine because Christchurch had a 

good cross-country scene, he said. 

“The first race I did was 

up in the Port Hills, at the 

Christchurch Singletrack Club. 

They just had races every week, 

so I belonged to them.” 

“Delicious and 

satisfying!”

up and coming teenage rider 

PEDAL POWER: Ethan 

Rose on the podium after 

finishing third at the Coupe 

de France de VTT Ussel in 

August. 

Right - Rose representing 

New Zealand at the UCI 

mountain bike world 

championships. 

Rose’s father was also a keen 

rider, which encouraged him to 

take up the sport. 

“We used to always ride 

together, and he took me to races 

and did them as well.” 

For years his father was the 

quicker of the two, before Rose 

eventually overtook him. 

“I was maybe 16, so I think he’s 

got over it now.” 

On leaving school, Rose 

struggled with the decision of 

whether to pursue his racing 

career or to study instead. 

“It’s kind of hard, you’ve got to 

bite the bullet and get over that.” 

His career highlight so far 

was winning the national 

championships. 

Arriving back in New Zealand 

in October, he had already taken 

part in the tour of Southland 

earlier this month. 

Coming from two weeks of 

MIQ isolation, he enjoyed being 

back in the saddle. 

He was now working more, 

aiming to save money for next 

year’s wave of competitions. 

Now living in Merivale, Rose 

said the biggest challenge of his 

cycling career was finding the 

funds. 

“It’s not hard to ride your 

bike all the time, I enjoy it. It 

doesn’t feel like I’m forcing it 

or anything, it’s just getting the 

money to do it.” 

His dream was to follow in 

the footsteps of other New 

Zealand riders who were part of 

professional European teams, he 

said. 

“It’s every rider’s dream to 

get on a pro team and make it 

your job – get paid to ride your 

bike.”

Yacht club centenary celebrated 

WINNER: Legacy 

2 won the nonfamily 

race at the 

centenary. 

• By Kristie Boland 

LYTTELTON put on a great 

show for the first race day of the 

Naval Point Yacht Club centenary 

on Friday. 

Although numbers were down 

on previous years, more than 100 

people turned up to watch the 

yachts race. 

The Sinclair Family race, 

which requires a Sinclair family 

member to sail the boat, had four 

yachts racing. 

Blondie, raced by Gregor 

Bowater, took out the first 

division of the race with Elliot 

Sinclair’s daughter Bronwyn 

Braithwaite coming in 

second. 

Centenary committee 

chairman Willie Newman 

said although the turnout was 

not what they had hoped, the 

weekend went brilliantly. 

A book launch was also held of 

Sailing in a Volcano – 100 Years 

of Club Sailing from Lyttelton 

by Nick Tolerton, Wayne Nolan 

and Mandy Nelson. The book is 

available from Leslie’s book shop 

in Lyttelton. 

The Naval Point Yacht Club 

was formed in 1921 and is home 

to several of New Zealand’s 

leading sailors, including 

legendary club members George 

Brasell, Eliot Sinclair, and Peter 

and Graham Mander. 

Race results: 

Sinclair family race: 

1st: Blondie raced by Gregor 

Bowater 

2nd: Calculator raced by 

Bronwyn Braithwaite 

3rd: Medium Dry raced by 

Marton Sinclair 

4th: Shibbean Bruce Sinclair

Face mask that doesn’t cause fogging 

NO FOGGING: New Brighton 

Stitch-O-Mat facilitator 

Julie Donaldson stumbled 

across the mask cure-all in a 

YouTube video clip. 

PHOTO: JOHN COSGROVE 

• By John Cosgrove 

FOR THOSE who wear glasses, 

Covid-mandated face masks 

are a daily nuisance as they 

constantly cause specs to fog up, 

but a solution is on hand. 

New Brighton Stitch-O-Mat 

facilitator Julie Donaldson said 

she recently stumbled across the 

mask cure-all in a YouTube video 

clip and was so impressed she 

sent the link to fellow facilitator 

Samantha Fay. 

“She made one within a couple 

of hours and thought it was a 

brilliant idea. We then both 

made some and offered them for 

sale in nearby charity shops,” 

Donaldson said. 

“They were snapped up and 

many people said they were life 

changing, as they stopped their 

glasses from fogging up when 

wearing masks.” 

Since then, Donaldson has 

been teaching people how to cut 

out, create and sew the layered 

cotton reusable masks, which 

have a extra material flap on 

their design that stops 

fogging. 

“It’s been a very popular 

sewing exercise and there is a lot 

of interest in making them 

at each of our sessions,” she 

said. 

Stitch-O-Mat is a community 

organisation that helps people 

with their sewing projects. 

Facilitators are available onsite 

for a couple of hours most 

days, including Sunday, to help 

those who want to use their 

facilities or learn how to sew or 

repair damaged clothing. 

Donaldson said Stitch-O-Mat 

has been in the Surfside Mall 

at New Brighton since Easter. 

They had to move from their 

original site inside the old New 

Brighton School, which has 

been scheduled for demolition 

to make way for a housing 

development.

Society providing for the community 

ST VINCENT de Paul Society 

volunteers are delivering 

food packages and offering 

practical help to the Woolston, 

Waltham, Linwood and Bromley 

communities. 

The volunteers work to provide 

person to person practical 

and effective help to those in 

need, including assistance with 

clothing, furniture, home wares, 

uniforms, stationary and help 

with other household and education 

expenses. 

The volunteers understand 

Christmas can be a stressful 

time for families and want to 

support them through delivering 

services directly to people’s 

homes for those who can’t access 

transport. 

Volunteers deliver food 

parcels and presents to about 30 

families a year. 

The most vulnerable of the 

society’s clients experience 

domestic violence, physical and 

mental health issues and have 

limited resources to provide for 

themselves and their children. 

The society understands 

debt and poor accommodation 

standards are a major issue for 

some families with costs, such 

as winter power bills, making 

things difficult to keep warm 

and dry. 

A free budget advice service 

has been established in recent 

months for clients who are in 

debt or struggling to pay their 

HELPING HAND: St Vincent de Paul Society volunteers 

hand out food packages to support the community. 

weekly bills. 

While the society has access 

to weekly supplies from the 

Aotearoa Food Bank, such as 

expired or nearly expired grocery 

items, they rely on public 

donations to support families in 

need. 

There is also an advocacy 

service available, which is helping 

those in need to navigate 

bureaucracy to ensure they are 

receiving appropriate welfare 

entitlements and support from 

other agencies. 

The Sumner SuperValue 

also supports the society 

with donations of food items 

throughout the year. The 

supermarket also donates 

appropriately bright red bags for 

Christmas food parcels.

Fresh spring veges signal warmer days 

Spring bouquet focaccia 

Ingredients 

3 tsp active dry yeast 

1 ½ cups hot (not boiling) 

water 

4 cups high grade flour 

1 ½ tsp Himalayan salt 

Olive oil (for drizzling) 

Rock salt (for sprinkling) 

Selection of spring 

vegetables, such as asparagus, 

spring onions and colourful 

baby carrots. 

Directions 

Place yeast, hot water, flour, 

Himalayan salt in a stand 

up mixer with the K attachment. 

Beat slowly to start then 

increase the speed and beat 

another 2-3min until it stops 

being sticky and starts to come 

together. It will be a wetter mix 

than traditional bread dough. 

Scrape the dough into a 

oven proof round or oval dish 

drizzled with a lot of olive oil 

then decoratively place veggies 

on top. 

Think about a bouquet of 

flowers while you are doing it. 

Drizzle with more olive oil and 

set aside for an hour to prove. 

Once it has doubled in size 

(at least), drizzle with more oil, 

sprinkle with salt and pop into 

a pre-heated 190 deg C oven for 

around 30min until browned 

on top but the veggies still hold 

their colour. 

Eat with all the yummy things 

(like asparagus lentil salad with 

walnut sauce).

Discounts offered for 

2nd birthday celebrations 

Specialist shoe store The Shoe Room in Upper 

Riccarton is celebrating its second birthday, and to 

mark the milestone they are running a week-long 

discount promotion. 

From Monday, November 22 through to Saturday, 

November 27, customers are invited to participate 

in a Lucky Dip, in which they will receive discount 

vouchers ranging in value from 20 per cent to 50 per 

cent for any purchase made on the day. 

The locally owned business was established by 

Podiatrist Charlotte Russell in November 2019 to 

complement her podiatry clinic Feet First, located in 

Main South Road. 

Carol, left, and Maxine display examples of the 

new summer collection at The Shoe Room. 

Charlotte freely admits, it has been a hard two years. 

“We opened just a few months before the first 

lockdown and with the ongoing Covid restrictions it’s 

been difficult. But we are still here and very excited to 

celebrate our second birthday!” 

Despite the pandemic-related problems retailers 

have faced, The Shoe Room has established a loyal 

customer base, which Charlotte attributes to the 

service and personal attention customers receive 

from the team. 

“That’s our point of difference. The shop manager 

Maxine and shop assistants Carol and Maree are 

friendly and welcoming, so they are able to build 

a rapport with customers by providing that allimportant 

personal service and expertise, making 

sure customers get shoes that fit correctly, are 

comfortable and look fabulous on their feet.” 

Now, with the arrival of spring, The Shoe Room has 

received an exciting new range of footwear for the 

warmer months ahead. The selection includes the 

popular Archie jandals from Australia. Made from EVA 

rubber, these jandals mould to the shape of the foot, 

making them very comfortable and easy to wear, plus 

they are available in several fresh, summery colours. 

Among the other quality brands on display are 

Frankie 4, also from Australia, and the ever-popular 

Ziera, with many styles designed to accommodate 

orthotics. 

The Shoe Room is located at Unit 3, 355 Riccarton Road, opposite the Lone Star. 

Opening hours are Monday 10am - 5.30pm, Tuesday to Thursday 9.30am - 5.30pm, 

Friday 9.30am - 4.30pm, Saturday 10am - 3pm. Off street parking available. 

P. (03) 929 0927 E. info@theshoeroom.co.nz www.theshoeroom.co.nz 

Customers are offered discounts on any purchase 

from the wide selection for The Shoe Room’s 

birthday celebrations. 

Customers are invited to choose their new summer 

footwear during next week’s birthday celebrations 

and take advantage of the Lucky Dip discounts. 

The Shoe Room is located at Unit 3, 355 Riccarton 

Road, opposite the Lone Star. Opening hours are 

Monday 10am-5.30pm, Tuesday to Thursday 

9.30am-5.30pm, Friday 9.30am-4.30pm, Saturday 

10am-3pm. 

A convenient off-street parking area is located behind 

the shop, with access from Auburn Avenue. Dedicated 

Shoe Room parking spaces are right by the back 

door.

Minor amendment to the enrolment scheme of Cashmere 

High School 

The Ministry of Education is proposing a minor amendment to the enrolment scheme of 

Cashmere High School under the Education and Training Act 2020. This is to include 

their Te Pukenga provision as a special programme in their enrolment scheme. 

After engagement with the Board, we have developed enrolment procedures and 

priorities for this programme. Students who meet the criteria for enrolment into the 

special programme and live within the home zone must be enrolled ahead of out of zone 

students. Out of zone students who meet the criteria for enrolment have priority in 

enrolment above all other out of zone students while special programme places are 

available. The enrolment of out of zone students is governed by the provisions of the 

Education and Training Act 2020. 

A copy of the proposed wording for this special programme is available at 

https://consultation.education.govt.nz/education/cashmere-high-school-specialprogramme 

There are no changes currently being proposed to the home zone boundaries. 

Comments can be made to Canterbury.EnrolmentSchemes@education.govt.nz by 17
