Christchurch Arena 

Fast-paced rise up the 

rankings for cyclist 

• By Fiona Ellis 

SHAYLAH SAYERS may have 

only been a competitive track 

cyclist for six months, but she 

is already set to race against the 

best in her age group. 

The 13-year-old Avondale 

resident will compete in the 

U15 category of Cycling New 

Zealand’s track national 

championships in Cambridge 

next week. 

The championships are open 

to U15 and U17 cyclists for the 

first time this year, and Shaylah 

is among the young riders from 

Christchurch heading north to 

represent Canterbury. 

Christchurch Boys’ High 

School student James Aroyo 

will also compete in the U15 

category, while fellow students 

Matt Davidson, Josh Parsons 

and Luca Sanders have qualified 

for the U17 category. 

Shaylah attends Papanui High 

School; fellow student Kirsty 

Watts will compete in the U17 

competition, as will Cashmere 

High School’s Meg Baker. 

In spite of her short time in 

the sport, Shaylah won six gold 

medals and one silver in the 

Canterbury open track cycling 

championship last month. 

“With how good I did in the 

races, and the times I had and 

stuff, I expected to qualify for 

nationals, but when I heard that

BONTHUYS 

I qualified for nationals, I got 

excited,” she said. 

She was most looking forward 

to representing Canterbury, she 

said. 

“I’m really excited for that, 

and to see what I can do over 

there.” 

Shaylah was a little surprised 

at how quickly she had taken to 

track cycling since last October, 

but attributed it to a life-long 

love of cycling. 

“I’ve mountain biked since I 

was little, with my dad, and then 

I started mountain bike racing 

at the start of last year.”

Avondale bridge opened 

THE FIRST of three new 

pedestrian bridges in the 

Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor 

opened to the public last week. 

The Avondale bridge crosses 

the river from the end of 

Briarmont St to the regeneration 

area adjacent to New Brighton 

Rd. 

City council head of parks 

Andrew Rutledge said the new 

bridge provides an important 

connection between Avondale 

and the ecologically-restored 

wetlands planned for the future 

Eastern Reach. 

“It’s an exciting time for the 

NUMBER ONE SUPPLIER 

TO THE NZ JET BOATING 

COMMUNITY FOR OVER 

50 YEARS 

Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor, 

with a lot of work under way to 

fulfil the vision and objectives 

of the Regeneration Plan for the 

area,” he said. 

“This is the first of three new 

footbridges currently being built 

in the 602ha regeneration area, 

to provide valuable cross-river 

connections for neighbouring 

communities and users of the 

Regeneration Area. 

“These bridges will also plan 

an integral role in the future 

City to Sea Pathway that will 

follow the river from Barbadoes 

St to New Brighton.” 

The three bridges at Avondale, 

Medway St and Snell Pl and 

a new riverside landing at 

Dallington were funded by a 

$13.7 million grant from the 

Christchurch Earthquakes 

Appeal Trust. 

“We’re grateful to the 

Christchurch Earthquake 

Appeal Trust for the funding 

they provided to bring these 

bridges and the landing to life,” 

Rutledge said. 

The Dallington Landing will 

open to the public on Saturday 

followed by the Medway St and 

Snell Pl footbridges in April. 

Inclusion of youth 

categories ‘natural 

pathway’ for cyclists 

• From page 1 

While Shaylah was unable to 

choose a favourite between track 

cycling and mountain biking, 

track cycling came with a lower 

risk of injury. 

She once tore a hole in her leg 

mountain biking, which was unlikely 

to happen on the smooth 

velodrome surface. 

“I’ve been mountain biking for 

a long time, but track cycling is 

pretty awesome.” 

In preparation for the nationals, 

Shaylah had stepped up her 

training regime. 

“I’m doing a lot of mountain 

biking and road cycling, and 

track training too. I do maybe 

30-40km a day. I try to get 

my training done early in the 

morning, so then I have the rest 

of the day and I can do other 

stuff too.” 

She was used to the early starts 

and loved to be on her bike 

whenever she could. 

“Sometimes I ride on the cycle 

path out to Kaiapoi, and I ride 

up in the hills, and I spend lots 

of my time in Bottle Lake forest 

mountain biking.” 

However, people would be 

surprised to know how serious it 

could get, Shaylah said. She and 

many others trained hard. 

She would like to win an U15 

national title, and to represent 

New Zealand one day. 

Shaylah watched other 

riders whose sporting careers 

she admired, such as Ellesse 

Andrews. 

“I know she got a silver medal 

at the Olympics and she wasn’t 

expecting it so I thought that was 

pretty cool.” 

It would be awesome to be at 

that level one day, she said. 

Coach Terry Gyde said the 

commitment from Shaylah and 

her parents was huge. 

Her progress was “quite 

extraordinary,” he said. 

“I think the thing that stands 

out is her determination. If 

anyone tries coming past her on 

the last lap she fights incredibly 

hard to the finish.” 

Canterbury Track Cycling 

committee chair and race commissaire 

Rachelle Spencer said 

the inclusion of U15 and U17 age 

groups was a natural pathway for 

young riders. 

“It’s all about having fun and 

learning,” she said. 

“After missing out on the 

nationals last year due to Covid, 

we are grateful that CNZ 

has found a way to make the 

competition happen this year, 

so they get to compete on a 

national stage.”

NEW RELEASES 

Ravenscar House: A biography 

by sally Blundell 

Many exciting new buildings have arisen from the rubble of post-earthquake Christchurch but none, 

perhaps, is as remarkable as Ravenscar House in the heart of the city’s heritage precinct. Ravenscar 

House: A biography explores the story of this unique, purpose-built house museum as the realisation of a 

long-held dream and the expression of a heart-warming act of public philanthropy. 

Christchurch journalist and writer Sally Blundell tells the compelling story of Jim and Susan Wakefield, 

whose vision was to share with their community the eclectic and impressive collection of art and 

artefacts that they had endowed to the charitable Ravenscar Trust. After their house on Scarborough Hill 

was demolished following the Canterbury earthquakes, the couple were determined to commission a 

new house museum, filled with a wide range of works by leading New Zealand artists such as Frances 

Hodgkins, Colin McCahon and Bill Sutton – and many more. Designed by renowned architects Patterson 

Associates, the Wakefields’ bold but elegant addition to the city was opened in 2021. 

Sally Blundell’s engaging and well-informed text is enhanced by family photographs, and stunning 

images of Ravenscar House itself, the garden it enfolds and the works within its walls. This is a unique 

story of resilience, architectural ingenuity and, above all, extraordinary generosity. 

Davos Man 

How the Billionaires devoured the World 

by Peter s Goodman 

The history of the last half century in America, Europe, and other major economies is in large part the 

story of wealth flowing upward. The most affluent people emerged from capitalism’s triumph in the Cold 

War to loot the peace, depriving governments of the resources needed to serve their people, and leaving 

them tragically unprepared for the worst pandemic in a century. 

Drawing on decades of experience covering the global economy, award-winning journalist Peter S. 

Goodman profiles five representative “Davos Men”–members of the billionaire class–chronicling how 

their shocking exploitation of the global pandemic has hastened a fifty-year trend of wealth centralization. 

Alongside this reporting, Goodman delivers textured portraits of those caught in Davos Man’s wake, 

including a former steelworker in the American Midwest, a Bangladeshi migrant in Qatar, a Seattle doctor 

on the front lines of the fight against COVID, blue-collar workers in the tenements of Buenos Aires, an 

African immigrant in Sweden, a textile manufacturer in Italy, an Amazon warehouse employee in New 

York City, and more. 

Spies and Lies: The Mysterious Dr 

Dannevill 

by Julie Glamuzina 

Hjilmar Dannevill travelled the world in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, sometimes using 

aliases, sometimes disguised as a male, and claiming to be researching venereal diseases on behalf of 

a wealthy Austrian businessman. She arrived in New Zealand in 1911 and falsely presented herself as a 

qualified medical professional while helping to set up a private health home run by women. In the hostile 

anti-foreigner environment of World War 1, doubts about her sex, identity, qualifications and motivations, 

as well as suspicions about her relationships with women, drew the attention of police and military 

authorities. In May 1917, although she tried to defend herself, she was declared a German spy and 

imprisoned. Like many other women who formed transnational networks stretching across Europe, Asia, 

the Americas and the Pacific to New Zealand, in defiance of sex-role stereotypes, Dannevill pursued life, 

work and female relationships around the globe. According to the authorities she was ‘a thorouh humbug 

and fraud’ and ‘just the sort of person who would take up such a job as a political spy or pimp.’ But who 

was Hjilmar Dannevill? Why did she lie? Why was she persecuted? Was she a spy? 

Jump: From the Streets to the Suites 

by larry Miller 

One of the most successful Black businessmen in the US, who has led Nike’s Jordan Brand from a $200M 

sneaker company to a $4B global apparel juggernaut, tells the remarkable story of his rise from gangland 

violence to the pinnacles of international business. Jump tells Larry Miller’s journey from the violent streets of 

West Philly in the 1960s to the highest echelons of American sports and industry. Miller wound up in jail more 

than once, especially as a teenager. But he immersed himself in the educational opportunities, eventually took 

advantage of a Pennsylvania state education-release program offered to incarcerated people, and was able 

to graduate with honors from Temple University. When revealing his gangland past caused him to lose his 

first major job opportunity, Miller vowed to keep it a secret. He climbed the corporate ladder with a number of 

major companies such as Kraft Foods, Campbell’s Soup, and Jantzen, until Nike hired him to run its domestic 

apparel operations. All along, Miller lived two lives: the secret of his violent past haunted him, invading his 

days with migraines and his sleep with nightmares of getting hauled back to jail. More than a rags-to-riches 

story, Jump is also a passionate appeal for criminal justice reform and expanded educational opportunities for 

incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people across the United States. Drawing on his powerful personal story, 

as well as his vast and well-connected network, Miller plans to use Jump as a launching point to help expand 

such opportunities and to provide an aspirational journey for those who need hope.

Springbok tour supporters sought for project 

• By Chris Barclay 

ANTI-apartheid protesters 

and rugby fans who supported 

the Springboks Tour in 1981 

are being sought to recount 

memories of that divisive winter 

for school children through an 

oral history initiative for the city. 

And once the audio interviews 

are catalogued, ideally they will 

be advertised and accessed at 

sites such as Lancaster Park, an 

epicentre of protest action as the 

venue of the series-opening All 

Blacks test against South Africa 

– almost 41 

years ago. 

“What we 

hope we’ll be 

able to do is have 

a mini audio 

documentary so 

Kris Herbert 

you’ll be able to 

walk around the 

park and hear the story from a 

viewpoint of being in the stands, 

a protester and a police officer 

so we can paint a rich picture of 

this event,” Our Stories Project 

director Kris Herbert said. 

The not-for-profit project is 

seeking interviewees from across 

the divide to be quizzed by year 

7 and 8 students at Unlimited 

Discovery (Ao Tawhiti). 

Already police officers who 

were on test duty that Saturday, 

August 15, have agreed to go 

down memory lane to Wilsons 

Rd and Lismore St, where they 

faced off with protesters pre and 

post-match. 

News media who covered the 

protests – and the game (won by 

the All Blacks 14-9) – are also 

sought for their views, likewise 

‘neutral’ Cantabrians who 

watched the drama unfold while 

sitting on the fence. 

Christchurch-based former 

national organiser of Halt 

all Racist Tours John Minto 

provided ample local contacts 

for the protest movement, but 

pro-tour supporters have been 

harder to locate, prompting 

a request by Herbert to make 

contact. 

“We’d love to hear from people 

who were rugby supporters, that 

was another viewpoint on it, that 

sport and politics shouldn’t mix. 

They’re proving a wee bit trickier 

to find.” 

Students aged 11 and 12-yearsold 

have been schooled up 

on interview techniques, and 

should put those skills to the test 

intermittently over the coming 

months when their schedule 

allows. 

Herbert, who secured $25,000 

of funding through the city 

council’s Intangible Heritage 

Grant Fund, envisaged the 

collection comprising about 15 

interviews. 

Our Stories Project started 

in 2016 and focused on 

Lyttelton, where schoolchildren 

interviewed long-standing 

residents about growing up in 

the port. 

Herbert said the project was 

headed in a new direction, by 

focusing on one of the most 

contentious issues to split the 

city. 

“Although there were some 

heartfelt moments with the 

Lyttelton stuff, a lot of it was 

quite light like: ‘My favourite fish 

and shop was …’” 

Now the project could 

potentially go from the frying 

pan into the fire. 

PITCH BATTLE: Police armed with 

batons confront anti-apartheid 

protesters who made it on the ground 

at Lancaster Park, delaying the start of 

the first test between New Zealand and 

South Africa in 1981.

“We wanted to collect stories 

from the central city and 

we thought we’d attach it to 

the 40th-anniversary of the 

Springbok tour,” Herbert 

said. 

“We thought it had multiple 

aspects to understand, it’s not 

just black and white, there’s a lot 

of grey, and it’s connected 

to physical places around the 

city.”

in the heart of New Brighton 

ITstuffed is a growing IT company with 

its roots in New Brighton. 

With the support and trust of the 

community they have grown from a oneman 

band to a team that is sought after 

by their clients. 

Moving into their new office space 

ITstuffed are now able to provide a 

drop off service to their residential 

client base. This includes fixing slow 

computers, broken screens and any 

other complication you would normally

providing their mobile service for any 

issues that are related to the home, such 

as WiFi or internet problems. 

ITstuffed also serves business clients 

as cyber security consultants and as a 

managed service provider (MSP). 

Daniel Lechner-Page, managing 

director, shared: “One of the biggest 

advantages for us will be that we can 

invite our clients to visit us for sensitive 

meetings. Also, if we get urgent jobs 

and a client wants to wait, being right 

next to The Burger Joint and Switch New 

Brighton, gives them something to do.” 

And to the question “Why New 

Brighton?”, Daniel said, “There are two 

reasons. Firstly, New Brighton is home, 

it’s where my son goes to preschool, 

where friends live and work. Secondly, 

I believe New Brighton will return to 

the glorious days from the 80s. I want 

ITstuffed to be part, and a driver of this 

change.”

CONTENT MARKETING 

Helping the kids buy their first home 

THE AVERAGE asking price in 

all regions across the country has 

reached record heights, making it a 

tough and competitive landscape for 

first home buyers, who will now need 

a deposit of $187,000 for the national 

average asking price and a whopping 

$250,00 for the Auckland average 

asking price. 

So, what can you do to 

help your kids finance their future? 

How it usually works 

The most common case of parents 

stepping in is where the kids have 10 

per cent or 15 per cent of a deposit 

saved and Mum and Dad are topping 

that up to get them to 20 per cent. 

There are several ways you can go 

about leveraging the equity in your 

own assets to provide the shortfall the 

kids need. 

A good number of young 

savers have been adding more 

to their KiwiSaver fund this 

year, so it’s accrued very well and is a 

great starting point for a deposit. 

Know what you’re letting 

yourself in for 

If you are well resourced, you as 

parents can provide a guarantee on 

the whole loan, but this is a big step, 

and unusual, as most of you will want 

your children to be responsible for the 

mortgage. 

Be clear about the responsibility you 

are prepared to shoulder, and bear in 

mind the children still have to prove 

they can service the loan, and with 

increasingly stringent lending criteria, 

without a good deposit, securing 

finance could be tricky. 

Remember, it can just be a temporary 

solution to help them get a head 

start with a foot on the property ladder, 

which is becoming increasingly 

difficult without parental help. 

This can be a temporary 

arrangement, with them repaying 

the money when they sell the house, 

ensuring they leave you with a decent 

retirement nest 

egg. 

Put everything in writing 

Document everything you agree on 

to avoid getting in a tangle, including 

what happens to the money if your 

child and their partner break up. 

If it is going to be a gift

DI want to congratulate 

our ākonga, whānau 

and community for their 

positive response to the 

upsurge in COVID-19 

cases in Ōtautahi. Health 

professionals tell us 

Omicron should peak in 

March 2022 and we should see a downward 

trend in positive cases after that. Haeata has 

organised ākonga into ‘Learning Groups’, 

adapted the daily timetable, modified break 

times and restricted movement around the 

campus to avoid possible transmission or the 

need to roster year levels home. 

We have had a positive response to our 

daily COVID-19 Update Pānui and feedback 

from ākonga and whānau has helped us to 

refine our processes further. Ākonga have 

quickly adapted to the ‘Group’ settings and 

are as always diligently just getting on with 

it. In general ākonga have expressed the 

view that they prefer the Red Light setting at 

Phase 3 rather than the full lock downs they 

Hikuawa 1 by Liz Griffiths 

In Putakitaki we have been having fun starting 

our maths learning. We have been using 

materials to count objects, make patterns and 

add numbers together. We have also been 

practising our Handwriting, starting with the 

letter Cc and working our way through the 

Alphabet. Our big book, which is the book 

we read as a whole class, was about frogs. 

It was really interesting and we got to learn 

all about the life cycle and what stages a 

tadpole goes through before it becomes 

a Frog. 

We are really lucky because the Library 

has now moved into Hikuawa. We went 

to the Library space and had a chance to 

explore the books that are available for 

us to go and read. We learned to match 

the Alphabet letter on the book with the 

experienced in 2020 and 

2021. The one thing our 

2021 NCEA achievement 

data is telling us is our 

ākonga are ready and able 

to meet these challenges 

and keep their eye on the 

prize - NCEA achievement. 

We are all looking forward to a time when 

we no longer have COVID-19 as our focus. 

In the meantime we are confident that as a 

kura we are doing all we can to reduce and 

minimise the risks. When we look outwards 

we are grateful that Omicron is our biggest 

threat and not a hostile nation laying siege on 

our borders. As a kura we send our thoughts 

and prayers to the people of Ukraine and 

hope that a peaceful resolution can be 

achieved over the coming weeks.

Kaunuku 2: Year 7 & 8 by Julie Perelini 

Year 7 and 8 ākonga have been engaging 

in Science as part of their STEM learning 

this term. They have worked in the 

Science lab learning about lab safety and 

the equipment and have learnt how 

to light a bunsen burner. They have 

shown impressive resilience and curiosity. 

Next steps will be to conduct a Science 

investigation 

and some 

exciting Science 

experiments. 

Kaunuku 1: Year 7 & 8 

by Anj Wirtitsch 

During Puna Ako 

time our Year 7 & 8 

ākonga are developing 

their team building 

skills through various 

in-class activities 

through which they 

problem solve. This 

has helped develop 

their communication 

skills as they work 

together to solve 

these challenges. 

They have displayed 

our kura dispositions, 

by being resilient 

when confronted 

with challenging 

tasks, collaborators 

and contributors and 

showing fa’aaloalo 

(respect) for each 

other. 

Robotics Club 

by Melanie Fairweather 

Pictured here is Sebastian (Bas) Riley-Firth 

proudly holding his Lego Mindstorm 

robot. Bas and fellow Year 9 classmate 

Masi Ruru-Stowers displayed our Haeata 

dispositions of Collaborator and Designer 

as they built and programmed their robots 

to move, speak, and interact with each 

other. This has sparked a new interest for 

them and as a result, they have decided 

to start their own Robotics Club on 

Tuesdays at morning tea break, supported 

by their kaiako. 

Services Academy 

by Rawiri Waaka 

The Haeata Senior Services team is 

made of those young people looking to 

experience The New Zealand Defence 

Force, New Zealand Police and Fire 

Emergency services. 

The course runs for a year at Haeata 

Community Campus with courses at 

Burnham Military Camp, and at the eco 

lodge near Geraldine, and finishing the 

year following the coast to coast race, by 

foot, peddle and paddle. 

The students spend time at Burnham 

military camp learning how to conduct 

a morning routine, and night routine, 

showering making, bed spaces and tiding 

barrack rooms which are inspected every 

morning and night, personal presentation, 

Military Drill, leadership, and fitness set 

with a high standard by the military, are 

only some of the task that happen on the 

courses on base, great life skills for young 

people looking to enter the workforce. 

Haeata Senior Services competed against 

Aurora College Services Academy 

from Invercargill, and Mawhera Services 

Academy from Greymouth during the 

activities in Burnham, the competition and 

camaraderie between the academies is 

great socially for them and the confidence 

to interact with people outside their 

school group. 

Haeata Services academy successfully won 

the adventure challenge before the end of 

last year, capping off a great year. 

The course at Haeata is for year 12 - 13 

students, transitioning into the workforce 

or on to higher education outside the 

school, the course has credits attached to 

it, from tramping camping and first aid. 

Sports: Haeata Rugby League 

by Te Iwingaro Wairau 

Haeata Girls Rugby League team entered 

the CRL 9 Aside tournament held at Ngā 

Puna Wai. They played against 2 other 

teams and did really well considering 

that most of the girls have never played 

rugby league before. A big congratulations 

to Kaleigh Rangihika for making the 

Canterbury 16’s wider squad to play in the 

South Island tournament.
