Jack rides high at
surfing
champs
• By Kristie Boland
THREE TITLES and a new
record is what Jack Tyro
has taken away from the
national surf champs held at
Westport’s Nine Mile Beach
over the weekend.
The 15-year-old St Bede’s
College student broke the
record for the most wins
ever by a surfer at the event,
winning the men’s and
junior longboard divisions
as well as the under-16 boys
division.
Tyro said he did not
expect to do as well as he
did and was “stoked” with
the outcome.

Community
patrol
reports a
quiet
holiday
period
• By Fiona Ellis
WE ALL seem to be behaving
ourselves this holidays.
That is the report card of the
Christchurch North Community
Patrol, with chairman Sam Hall
describing the summertime situation
as “pretty
good.”
Park and
picnic areas
have been on
the patrol radar,
standard for this
time of year.
“We haven’t
actually had to Sam Hall
report anything
from the picnic areas around,”
Hall said.
“It was all very family-orientated,
so it’s been quite good.”
More family groups than usual
seemed to be out, possibly because
the Covid-19 pandemic was preventing
people from leaving town
for a holiday, he said.
Being a frequent presence
was also helpful in deterring
incidents.
December and January were
also the time of year the patrol
focused on monitoring schools,
but no issues had arisen there
either.
Another summertime staple
was fire danger patrol.

Board has major focus on traffic
• By Fiona Ellis
TRAFFIC ISSUES,
intensification and community
engagement are set to be big
issues for the Papanui-Innes
Community Board area this
year.
Board
chairwoman
Emma Norrish
said
Langdons
Rd was a
major focus,
as traffic

issues had
arisen since
the opening
of the Northlink
Shopping Centre.
“The council has got the annual
plans coming up, the budget
for the coming year, and we’ll
be advocating for money we
can put in there for lights at the
corner of Greers and Langdons,”
Norrish said.
The board would also be looking
into how it could improve
traffic flow and general safety in
the area, she said.
The impact the Christchurch
Northern Corridor had made on
traffic in St Albans was another
big traffic issue for the board.
“There was a survey carried
out with residents last year, and
that’s an ongoing thing, we’re
working through the results of
that.
“As a result of that survey,

options. We’ll be going from

Traffic around schools was
also an ongoing issue for the
board, she said.
With intensification a rising
issue in Papanui, Richmond
and St Albans, the board would
push for community amenities,
especially green spaces.

neighbourhoods.”
Ensuring there were enough
green spaces was important in
making a community a nice
place to live, she said.
The future of the former
Shirley Community Centre site
at 10 Shirley Rd was another
focus for 2022, and a feasibility
study would be carried out to
help decide this.
This year the board would
be holding briefings and public
forums in different locations
throughout its board area rather
than operating entirely from the
Papanui Service Centre.
By making it easier for people
to go along and talk to the
board, it hoped to boost public
interaction.
“Community engagement is
going to be a big one for us this
year,” Norrish said.
“We want people to know they
can come to us with their issues.
We want to continue advocating
for the community.”

Aim to make
a national
surfing team
• From page 1
“I mean I can’t believe it. It’s
been a goal for a while and I’m
just so stoked to get all three
finals,” he said.
“I definitely didn’t expect I’d get
all three.”
Tyro said he will be spending
the remainder
of his holidays
practicing as
much as he can
for upcoming
competitions.
He hopes to
defend his title
next year and get Aaron Lock
into a national
team, which he hopes will take
him overseas.
“There’s a few comps still
coming up that I’ll be practicing
for, [next up is] the Billabong
grom series which is happening
up in the North Island,” he
said.
His father, Steve Tyro, said it
was “a proud day for the Tyros for
sure.”
Tyro was not the only Cantabrian
to come away with a title
from the event.
Ava Henderson won the
under-18 girls division, Rakiatea
Tau the under-18 boys division,
Poppy Entwisle the under-14 girls
division, and Aaron Lock the
bodyboard division.

Making a splash but not like a bird
• By John Cosgrove
A BIG splash . . . it’s less about
soaring like a bird, and more
about perfecting the art of the
splash according to ace manu
exponent Jono Horton, 19, of
Bryndwr.
“It’s certainly good when you
crack a good one and get the
biggest splash,” he said.
And there was plenty of
that on display on Sunday at
the Jellie Park complex, as 30
bombers of all ages took part in
latest round of the city council’s
Manu competition.
As the winner of last year’s
inaugural event, Horton was
aiming to defend his title
and produced a good set of
‘bombs’ during his time in
front of the judges at the
pool.
THey were looking for splash
volume and height, along with
style and originality as they
scored each entrant.
Horton said they do the
staple, the coffin, the cannon
ball, but the most famous is the
manu – “it’s the Maori word for
bird.’’
“You look at the water, find
your jump spot, bend your
knees and throw your arm
up.
“THen when you’re about
to hit the water you fold your
body into a V-shape with your
back pushed into your legs and
your hands covering your
face.
COVER YOUR EARS: Getting the form right as he enters the water at Jellie Park was
ace manu exponent Jono Horton, 19, of Bryndwr, who was defending his title at the
latest round of the city council’s six-round manu competition currently being held in
pools around the city. (Right) – Samuel Mataio, of Papanui, leaps into the pool.
PHOTOS: JOHN COSGROVE
“After your butt touches the
water and your back and legs
are submerged, you unfold so
you’re basically flat in the water
and that helps give you a nice
‘pop’.
If you get a deep pop then
most of the time your splash is
powerful,” he said.
In the Jellie Park round
open male category, Horton
was first with Sam Mataio and
Marli Hetutu second and third
respectively.
At the end of the competition
season which runs until early
in March, in six of the city’s
pools, the top three queens
or kings of the manu will be
awarded an official trophy and
prizes.
Spot prizes will also be
handed out throughout the
competition.
More volunteers
needed to
increase patrols
• From page 1
“It hasn’t been as dry as it has been
in previous years so it hasn’t been
too bad at all.”
However, there was room for
improvement.
The patrol had dealt with dangerous
driving, fly-tipping, “the odd
stolen car,” car break-ins, and some
alcohol-related disorder.
The last month had been consistent
with the patrol’s monthly average
of 50 reports of suspicious vehicles to
police, and 20 reports of suspicious
behaviour.
As well as using police hotspot
maps, the patrol also monitored
community facebook groups to see
where they might be needed.
Bishopdale, Burnside and Northwood
stood out as the areas where
incidents seemed to occur, he said.
“We’ll go nice and slowly around
areas that are known to have trouble.”
“We’ve got three day patrols at the
moment, and we’re averaging about
four evenings.”
Six months ago the patrol launched
a second patrol car, but this was not
used as much as Hall had hoped.
“We’re getting one car out regularly
but to get that second vehicle
out, we just need people.”
“We’d like to be out every night
and every day, but at the moment
we’re prioritising the weekends.”
The patrol had about 25 members,
less than half the number involved
before the Covid-19 pandemic broke
out, and more volunteers were
wanted.

western end - in recognition
of the schools well established
bilingual class - Te Tahu Rua Reo.

Villa Maria College is a state
integrated Catholic secondary
school for girls in Years 7 to 13. The
College was opened by the Sisters
of Mercy in 1918 and has grown to
accommodate 800 students within
its beautiful grounds. The spirit
of Mercy is the very heart of our
College, and there is an emphasis
on service to others and the
community. Girls are educated in
Catholic teachings, and this Catholic
character is evident throughout the
College.
Our Mission is to: “Empower each
young woman to determine her
potential, live Gospel values,
confidently embrace life-long
learning and as a Mercy woman be
inspired to make a difference”.
The education Villa Maria College
offers is of the highest quality,
and we are proud of our excellent
academic results. Our strong
academic programme is combined
with varied co-curricular activities,
encompassing sport, cultural and
musical programmes.
Our pastoral care systems ensure
that all girls are supported
throughout their schooling. Villa
Maria College is an environment that
is compassionate and engaging, and
allows our girls to participate fully in

Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo

Namaste. Kumusta. Haere mai ki Te
Kura Huruhuru Ao o Horomaka. Warm
greetings to the Hornby High School
community, and a special welcome
to those of you who are new to our
community.
Welcome to Hornby High School where
our vision is to be a ‘centre of creative
excellence he puna auaha’. That means
we try to foster creativity in everything
we do: sports and science, governance
and teaching. To do that we aim to equip
students with the tools they need to be
creative, critical thinkers. Our school
whakatauki says:
Mā te huruhuru, ka rere te manu
‘Feathers enable the bird to fly’
Optimism is one of those qualities
that some have more than others. As
educators we always begin each year
with that sense of optimism about
what the year, the students, and the
community, will bring. For us that
optimism is grounded in what we have
experienced the year before, and our
plans for the year to come which reflect
those things that we can control.
For Hornby High School that sense of
optimism is well founded. In 2021 we
pushed for and experienced continuing
student success as we have evolved
our curriculum and teacher practice
to match the beautiful buildings and
facilities that we now use.
Our pastoral system reforms are nearly
complete, focussing on building strong
positive relationships between teachers
and learners. Our curriculum changes,
designed to connect learning across
subject areas to improve understanding
and engagement for learners, continue
to evolve. Our 2021 performance in
gaining a significantly greater number
of university scholarships than ever
before sets the scene for ever higher
academic expectations and aspiration,
while those seeking trades and industry
qualifications also continue to excel.
And then there is the ongoing focus
on sporting and cultural achievement
which continues to see students take
their place amongst the best. Join us in
our extraordinary journey.

Papanui High School - Preparing
students for their future
Giving students the opportunity to study
from an innovative and broad curriculum
is critical to providing each student a
pathway that meets their individual
needs. We allow for a greater range and
flexibility in subject choice including
the utilization of the secondary/
tertiary interface. This reinforces the
philosophy underpinning
personalised learning and
is strongly supported
by understanding our
students’ interests,
passions, talents,
and ultimately
their career
aspirations.
We understand
that for effective
learning to take
place, it has to
be implemented
in such a way that
students will be highly
engaged. The school does
this in a ‘forward thinking’ way
by creating learning environments that
allow our students to see value in what
they do and achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” is
what we represent and we demonstrate
this by having young adults leave our
school as confident learners who have
gained the appropriate qualifications
and social skills to become valued
contributing members of society.
All that we do here is reinforced by
positive relationships, an ethos of caring,
cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and
high expectations – what we call “Our
Full service Model”. The school highly
values the connectedness of
curricular and co-curricular
learning. We have
a philosophical
understanding
that the holistic
development
of the student
is critical to
their individual
success.
The school has
worked hard
to consolidate
recent initiatives to
ensure sustained and
continuous improvement.
You are invited to view our
website, school charter, ERO report,
and/or contact the school for more
information.
We look forward to welcoming all
prospective students and their families/
whānau.
