8 Bay Harbour News Wednesday April 13 2022 ADVERTISEMENT Dreams into Reality: Our Return From Linwood High School 1954 to Te Aratai College 2022, our school continues its proud history. We are farewelling Linwood College at Ōtākaro. We honour the fact that there has been education on the Avonside site for 102 years. The final days of our small contribution to this legacy is now, the end of term 1. In term 2 we return to Aldwins Rd and our completely rebuilt and stunning new school. Te Aratai College is inspiring from the 650 seat theatre-standard auditorium to the sunny student centre and the student-friendly courtyards. Our design is for personalised student success and reflects the new name gifted to us by Ngāi Tūāhuriri, Te Aratai College, Pathway to the Sea. Reflecting this, our learning and classroom design is based on responsiveness to the needs of the students at that moment. We have classrooms of the standard, time-honoured size but with the flexibility to open up. This is because there are occasions when learning can be more open but equally there are times for some students when this is a learning disaster. Te Aratai College also has smaller rooms for students who learn best in reduced, very quiet environments, and bigger spaces for when learning can be shared and for larger student gatherings. This deliberate design assists staff and students to respond to the many factors that personalise success. Of course, new buildings alone do not necessarily improve education. The relationship with the teacher - he tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata - and the personalisation of learning are the key for this. However, there is also no doubt that new, purpose-built buildings and spaces that arise from these community values of relationships and personalisation contribute hugely to student success. This is Te Aratai College. We look forward to welcoming our community into their school. Please see our website for information about tours for our partner primary schools, past pupils and staff, and other friends. 85 Aldwins Road, Phillipstown P: 03- 982 0100 | E: office@linwoodcollege.school.nz
Wednesday April 13 2022 Bay Harbour News Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Treasures from the past: NEWS 9 Ye Olde Inns IN 1849 Major Alfred Hornbrook opened a ‘sly grog’ (unlicensed) shop on the site of the soon to be built Mitre Hotel in Ōhinehou/Lyttelton; it became the first pub in Canterbury and an important port of call for newly arrived European settlers. Although the Mitre escaped the Great Fire of 1870 which razed most of the township, just five years later it was gutted by a smaller fire. THe timber building was rebuilt but was again destroyed by fire in 1926; as a consequence its successor was constructed in more resilient brick and reinforced concrete. The art deco influenced building still stands in its earthquake-damaged state on the corner of Norwich Quay and Canterbury St, having been deemed uneconomic to repair. That first hotel was closely followed by many others; in 1852, William Bannister’s advertisement for the Lyttelton Arms, Port Victoria (an early name for the European settlement of Lyttelton) highlighted the wide range of alcoholic beverages available: “Martell’s Brandy, Hennessey’s Brandy, French Cherry Brandy, Smooth-Air Ventilation Equipment Suppliers totrade retail Substantial energy savings over traditional domestic ventilation systems. 0800 SMOOTH (0800 766 684) sales@smooth-air.co.nz The old Railway Hotel on the corner of London and Canterbury Streets, 1900-1950 Te Ūaka The Lyttelton Museum ref 14625.53 https://www.teuaka.org.nz/online-collection/1135487 Sparkling Champagne, Burgundy, Marsala, Bucellas, Hock, Fine Old Port, Madeira, Golden and Brown Sherries, Campbeltown Whisky, Hollands Gin, Old Tom, Jamaica Rum, British Wines, Cordials, Byass’ Bottled Ale and Porter, Truman and Hanbury’s Extra Stout, Burton Ale, Guinness’ Dublin Stout etc.” https://teara.govt.nz/en/ ephemera/21250/lyttelton-arms-hotel-advertisement At a time when water was The most efficient way to ventilate your home HEX 390 For Healthy Indoor Air Heat is transferred to the incoming filtered fresh air Made in New Zealand,for New Zealand conditions Fresh air from outside Warm, stale air from house 264 Annex Rd Riccarton Christchurch 03 343 6184 & Exhaust air to outside Warm fresh air to house Monday - Friday 7.30am - 5pm www.smooth-air.co.nz often contaminated, milk could easily go off, beer was not widely available, and spirits were much easier to transport, a daily dose of spirits (higher in alcohol content than modern equivalents) was considered a health tonic. Pubs were also important places for social interaction – a place to warm up, have a yarn and a laugh, share stories and swap information. In the words of George Chamier: “It was considered a mean thing to drink alone; it was considered meaner still not to drink at all.’’ George Chamier, Philosopher Dick: Adventures and contemplations of a New Zealand shepherd London: T. Fisher Unwin, 1891, p. 517. Right through the 20th-century, Lyttelton’s licensed premises were important social hubs and places of entertainment and respite for seamen, wharf and railway workers and all manner of people. Each establishment catered to a slightly different clientele, especially during the 1951 New Zealand-wide waterfront dispute which created deep divisions within Lyttelton’s closeknit community. Prominent corner sites were a popular location for large hotels. Many of Lyttelton’s significant heritage buildings demolished as a consequence of earthquake damage were originally built as hotels – The Albion on the corner of London and Canterbury Sts, The Royal (originally the Robin Hood Hotel) on the corner of Norwich Quay and Canterbury St opposite the Mitre, and the Canterbury Hotel on the corner of Norwich Quay and Oxford St, facing the British Hotel. The British is the sole surviving traditional hotel building still in use, albeit in different Ferrymead The Boy from Gorge River From New Zealand’s remotest family to the world beyond by Chris Long The story of how an extraordinary childhood shaped an extraordinary life. On the West Coast of the South Island, past deep fiords and snow-capped mountains, Chris Long grew up two days’ hike from the nearest road. He was born into the country’s most isolated family, his parents committed to freedom from capitalist society and connection to the natural world. In this inspiring memoir, Chris describes a childhood with nature on his doorstep - helping his father catch crayfish and his mother grow vegetables, playing with toys crafted from driftwood and jade, and learning to live in the wild - until, in his teenage years, he began to wonder: could he survive in the wider world? By the son of the authors of A Life on Gorge River and A Wife on Gorge River, The Boy from Gorge River is an enthralling account of chasing adventure while forever staying true to where you come from. The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn The brand-new historical novel based on a true story from the bestselling author of The Rose Code and The Alice Network She’s the war’s most lethal sniper. And the one they least expect… In the snowbound city of Kiev, aspiring historian Mila Pavlichenko’s life revolves around her young son – until Hitler’s invasion of Russia changes everything. Suddenly, she and her friends must take up arms to save their country from the Fuhrer’s destruction. Handed a rifle, Mila discovers a gift – and months of blood, sweat and tears turn the young woman into a deadly sniper: the most lethal hunter of Nazis. Yet success is bittersweet. Mila is torn from the battlefields of the eastern front and sent to America while the war still rages. There, she finds an unexpected ally in First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and an unexpected promise of a different future. But when an old enemy from Mila’s past joins forces with a terrifying new foe, she finds herself in the deadliest duel of her life. The Diamond Eye is a haunting novel of heroism born of desperation, of a mother who became a soldier, of a woman who found her place in the world and changed the course of history forever.

There were numerous other drinking venues on the streets in between those corner sites; London St’s Empire Hotel was another iconic building whose loss has changed the streetscape significantly. In the mid-1990s there were over 40 licensed premises in a community with a population of less than 3000. The featured photograph is of the Railway Hotel which graced the corner of London and Canterbury St (on the site of the current library) from the 1870s until its demolition in 1968. Showing a large group of men loitering outside, the image stands testament to a time when pubs were an integral part of the social fabric of the Port town. Some might argue that has not changed in recent decades, with the likes of the Wunderbar, the Porthole (on the site of the much loved Volcano and Lava Bar), the Lyttelton Arms, Civil and Naval, Eruption Brewing, The Top Club, the Loons and other hospitality venues. Ownership, usage and names may have changed over the years, but they still serve the purpose of bringing people together over a convivial tipple or three. book release We have one copy of The Boy from Gorge River to give away, courtesy of Take Note Ferrymead.
