built by the community.
The New Brighton

finishing touches to the cabin so
Gibson can continue his stone

Bid to
light up
Anzac
fronds
at night
• By Emily Moorhouse
A FORMER Bexley resident who
helped cut the ribbon at the
unveiling of the Anzac fronds says
they should be lit up at night.
Aileen Trist, who now lives in
Waitikiri, has raised the issue with
the Coastal-Burwood Community
Board, noting the fronds were
sitting in a “dark and dreary” place,
getting lost in the trees.
Trist says lighting should be
placed at the end of each display
to show off the fronds that were
put in “by the people of Bexley
for the people of Bexley.”
She told the community board:
‘They [the fronds] have an
important history story to be told
on behalf of the Bexley Wetlands
and Bexley community, which
lost so much in the earthquakes.’
The matter has now been
put forward to council staff to
investigate options on lighting up
the fronds and at what cost.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel, who cut
the ribbon with Trist, has also
been made aware of the request.
The fronds on the Anzac Drive
New-Brighton Rd intersection
were installed last year after being
in storage since the February 22,
2011 earthquake.

Work on Dallington
landing well under way
THE DALLINGTON landing is fast
taking shape as workers complete
the second of the two wooden treeshaped
shelter structures.
Carrying the theme of “a picnic in
the forest”, the Dallington riverside
landing next to Gayhurst Rd will be
the first of a number of landings to be
built along the Avon River.
The wheelchair-accessible toilet
block, koru-shaped pathways, picnic
areas and tables, a water fountain, a
bike stand and a picnic area and tables
look to be almost complete.
The Dallington landing is expected
to be completed by June this year
and city council planning takes
into account the planting seasons
required for new vegetation on the
surrounding areas.
Further along Avonside Drive,
the Snell Pl Bridge also looks well
advanced as it follows the same
alignment as the old pedestrian bridge
that was damaged in the February
22, 2011, earthquake. It will serve to
reconnect Dallington and Avondale,
and provides an important connection
to and from Avon Park.
The landing and three pedestrian
bridges across the river have been
funded by a $13.7 million grant
from the Christchurch Earthquake
Appeal Trust and are among the first
developments of the Corridor’s Green
Spine.

Cabin a labour of love
• From page 1
“We’re not talking about someone
spending a couple of hours
doing a bit of weeding,” she said.
“People gave up their Saturdays
doing it again and again.”
The kitset cabin is 19sq m and
cost roughly $15,000.
Gibson’s carer approached
Klenner last June to ask if Gibson
could relocate to the gardens, as
his old studio at New Brighton
School was set for demolition
and he wanted to stay in the area.
Thinking Gibson would make
a great addition, Klenner agreed.
She then pitched to Lotto for a
funding grant, which was successful.
“It was really unbelievable to
be honest,” she said. “It’s one
thing to have the vision but then
actually to get people on board to
see that vision and believe it . . . it
feels really good.”
City Care employees and others
in the community rallied
together to build the cabin over
a number of weekends, free of
charge – and often with a smile,
Klenner said.
“To come at 7.30 on a Saturday
morning and work to like five
in the afternoon in the rain, not
a lot of people would do that. I
think the support we have from
the community around us is just
another sign that people believe
in what we’re trying to achieve,”
Klenner said. “I think people
are very supportive of what the
garden is doing.”
Gibson also showed his
gratitude to volunteers, bringing
homemade scones and stone
hearts he’d sculpted as gifts.
“He was just so happy,” Klenner
said. “He fits in so well.”
Over the weekend the flooring
was laid down and a door
installed, which just leaves
painting before the cabin is
completed.
However, Gibson was already
spending most of his time at the
gardens during opening hours,
and has settled into his cabin
nicely.
The gardens will host an open
house on March 18 to thank everyone
involved in the process of
constructing the cabin, and the
public will be able to view
it afterwards.

Gibson helps with the

•From page 1
Community board chairman
Kelly Barber agreed with the
idea of lighting up the fronds.
“I think it makes perfect
sense,” he said.
“I’ve driven past there a few
times myself at night and you
kind of can’t really see it, it
blends into the background.”
Barber said it was a case of
what the cost was going to be
as a lot of thought went into
putting the fronds where they
are.
“Everything comes down to
cost these days. I mean we’ve got
to be judicious with the money
but I think most people would
agree that if you’re going to do it
you do it properly,” he said.
“It would be really nice to have
them lit up.”

Construction of sports centre ticking along
• By Emily Moorhouse
AFTER MORE than four years
of pushing their vision, a group
behind a sports and recreation
centre are finally seeing an end
in sight for the multi-million
dollar project.
Committee members of the
Pukeko Centre said funding
restraints loosening up and
internal planning has allowed
the project to tick along into its
second stage of development.
THe centre, based in Parklands
was the love child of the
Parklands Bowling and Rugby
Club joining forces after the
earthquakes left them without
facilities.
After some consultation, the
clubs realised there was a wider
community need for a sports and
recreation hub and the Pukeko
Centre vision was born.
Pukeko Centre committee
member, Andrew Weastell, who
works on the funding of the project,
said the delays were due to a
number of factors, with funding,
consent forms and Covid playing
a role.
“It’s taken a long time to raise
the funding that we have raised
and that’s nobody’s fault it’s just
a fact of timing with Covid,”
Weastell said.
Stage one of the $3.5 million
project saw two old Freeville
School buildings set for demolition
gifted to the project by the
Ministry of Education.
Weastell said getting those

organiser Andrew Weastell and Pukeko Centre chairman Bevan Stewart to
discuss the second stage of the project.
buildings was a great success for
the Pukeko Centre, but as these
could only fit 250-300 people, a
multi-use sports hall was needed,
hence where stage two of the
project commenced.
The second stage has been broken
up into five sub stages, with
sub stage one and two set to be
completed in a couple of weeks.
“Once we started we wanted to
finish but unfortunately that hasn’t
panned out. Cutting it into sub
stages has been the way to keep
things moving,” Weastell said.
Sub stage three focuses on
the superstructure and skeleton
build of the planned hall, coming
at a cost of $800,000. So far
$125,000 has been raised.
“This is really the key one,”
Weastell said.
“If we can get this over the line
I think we’ll get there.”
Coastal Ward councillor Celeste
Donovan said the project is
a great initiative for the community
and is working to get more
city council funding to support
the centre.
“Communities need shared
spaces, places to connect and
grow together and the Pukeko
Centre will be a big part of that
for Parklands and the broader
community,” she said.
Donovan said the committee
and community have done an
“incredible” job pushing forward
the project in spite of funding
restraints.
“We recognise that it’s a challenging
environment with the
escalation in costs and tight
funding environment. So, I am
committed to doing whatever I
can to help.”
Weastell said the centre has
already received inquiries from
dance and martial arts clubs,
post-natal depression groups and

project has been broken into five

even Parafed wanting to utilise
the centre once it’s finished.
As well as being wheelchairfriendly
Weastell said the centre
is aimed at being something that
everyone can access.
“Our mission is to keep it as
cost-effective as possible, we’re
not there to make a profit,” he
said.
“It’s just a place for people in
the community to connect really.”

Making gardening a breeze for the community
• By Emily Moorhouse
SELWYN EAGLE’S aim in life is
for everyone to grow their own
vegetables.
But he knows this isn’t always
possible, so he’s doing his bit
to make establishing a garden
easier for people across the city.
Eagle first got the idea to
help people with their gardens
after thinking there should
be a community garden in
Dallington, where he lives, to
bring the people together.
“I had this feeling you could
start anything,” he said.
“If you wanted to do
something go and do it because
no one said you couldn’t so why
don’t you just do it.”
The 71-year-old said he
was unsuccessful in getting a
community garden set up in
Dallington so began travelling
around Canterbury to show
different people how to set up a
garden.
He started off with a church
in Temuka before others noticed
and wanted to get involved,
allowing the Just Dirt Trust to
be born.
Eagle, along with a few others
go to people’s houses and help
them out with their gardens
whether it’s building a garden
bed, providing mushroom
compost or even giving advice
how to then how can they grow
vegetables.”
Eagle said the trust is selffunding,
meaning the money
they make from setting up
gardens goes back into helping
another person who is unable to
afford the service.
The trust also offers to do
$40.
“I just like helping people and I
like meeting people,” Eagle said.
“I don’t do it for the money, if I
did it for the money it would be a
business.”
In spite of spending a lot of
time in the garden, Eagle said
he hates weeds which is why he

“It’s quite easy if you have
a garden bed you put the
mushroom compost in it, you
plant the plants, what else have
you got to do, you’ve only got to
water it every day and that’s it.”
Eagle said he wants to
spread awareness about the
trust as he feels as though they
are “reasonably unique” and
has even helped set up five
community gardens in the last
10 years.

they did was establishing 10

“It’s a really good thing to be
able to go out to your garden,
pick some lettuce leaves, some
chives, some tomatoes to make
up a salad and know that it all
came from what you grew,”
Eagle said.
“How good is that.”

Fill the basket of knowledge
The Haeata Community Campus Board held its first meeting
for the year on Wednesday, 23 February 2022. The Board’s
strategic vision focuses on providing every ākonga with an
education that transforms their lives for the better. As a kura
we will achieve this by living through tikanga and emphasising
our obligations under Te Tiriti o Waitangi, by being inclusive
of people from all ethnicities and backgrounds and by instilling
and upholding the Haeata values of service, manaakitanga,
alofa, success and hanga whare.
Our promise to ākonga is ‘total support that will allow
them to be successful and to be the very best versions of
themselves.’ We have such faith that our ākonga will succeed
and achieve because we know that they can. They are the
best, the brightest and the bravest young people in the
country and we believe in them! We know that everyday our
ākonga aspire to live the Haeata values.
Kāhore taku toa i te toa takitahi, he toa takitini
We cannot succeed without the support of those around us
Our 2021 NCEA results continue to make us proud as we
analyse the massive successes we enjoyed last year. Certificate
endorsements at MERIT are the highest in the history of the
kura. All credit goes to both ākonga and kaimahi who set
the bar high and never faulted, in what was a crazy COVID
year. The kura is now focussed on a 25% increase in ākonga
achievement in NCEA at all levels in 2022. New initiatives like
Homework Club and After School Revision Classes last year
assisted and supported ākonga to focus in what was a disjoint
and stressful year for many under COVID Lockdown
He maurea kai whiria!
Ignore small matters and direct effort toward important
projects
This year we want to keep things in perspective and not get
bogged down by the small things. As a kura we have three
key foci: Attendance , Retention, and Ākonga Achievement.
With our new systems, structures and resourcing we intend
to maintain our focus on our vision, on what is important and
on achieving our full potential as individuals, groups and as a
kura. We want to be the kura of first choice in Aranui and
know that our community has faith in our ability to deliver
quality education, purpose built for all ākionga.
When people ask me what I am most proud of, I say “our
ākonga,” everytime - our ākonga!
He tangata ki tahi.

Careers and Pathways
By; Michelle Mahuika.
Haeata has been running a
student driver programme
for a few years now. The
programme is set up and aims
to help our ākonga improve and
achieve a successful transition
to employment. By doing this
programme, it removes barriers
to entering the job market for our
ākonga.
Every akonga who are 16
years old and older have the
opportunity to study and then
sit their learner’s licence through
school. Our first 2022 Learners licence course has begun
this week, hosting 11 keen drivers.
This programme runs for six weeks and is fully funded by
Haeata Community Campus.
Ākonga have begun their dual enrolment programmes
and are enjoying the ability to learn about their chosen
vocational pathways; some of these include mechanics,
welding, building, beauty and hospitality. This year we have
two keen flyers who have chosen to do a young pilots
programme giving them the opportunity to fly a Helicopter
and Aeroplane.
Our senior ākonga have begun to explore their pathways
and what their next steps after kura could be. We have
been looking at courses and possible job options, exploring
careers and getting equipped for life after school.
