Christchurch Arena<br />

Hollie powers way to<br />

major<br />

BMX<br />

title<br />

REPRESENTING New<br />

Zealand is a milestone for<br />

many athletes.<br />

And at just 11-years-old<br />

BMXer Hollie Tribble has not<br />

only ticked that box—she even<br />

got to beat Australia while she<br />

was at it.<br />

The Rangi Ruru Girls’<br />

School year 7 student was one<br />

of eight Kiwi kids chosen for<br />

the Mighty 11s Trans-Tasman<br />

test in Queensland at the<br />

weekend. Her girls team —<br />

of which she was the only<br />

rider from the South Island<br />

— were victorious over their<br />

Australian counterparts,<br />

winning the Troy Fisher Cup.<br />

Hollie says making the<br />

team for the 30-year-old<br />

competition run by the<br />

national cycling bodies of<br />

both countries has been her<br />

dream since she started riding<br />

as a four-year-old. She says<br />

wearing the New Zealand<br />

jersey and bringing the trophy<br />

home with her team was “very<br />

exciting”.<br />

“You only get one chance to<br />

do it, because you have to be<br />

11 on race day, and you get to<br />

travel to Australia and you get<br />

to travel with your team and<br />

make really good friendships.<br />

I felt very proud and that<br />

I needed to represent New<br />

Zealand well.”<br />

Social housing will ‘provide stable homes’<br />

CHRISTCHURCH’S newest<br />

community housing is<br />

welcoming the first people who<br />

will call it home.<br />

Ōtautahi Community Housing<br />

Trust (ŌCHT) has opened<br />

33 new homes for single people,<br />

couples and families in Coles Pl,<br />

St Albans, on a site that has had<br />

community housing for decades.<br />

The modern, Homestar 7-rated<br />

homes were built to replace 20<br />

ageing, one-bedroom weatherboard<br />

units that had provided<br />

city-owned social housing since<br />

the early 1950s.<br />

The new homes are set in<br />

landscaped grounds with plenty<br />

of shared space and communal<br />

gardens. The homes are designed<br />

to be warm and dry, and efficient<br />

to run.<br />

Housing Minister Megan<br />

Woods and Mayor Lianne<br />

Dalziel cut the ribbon to<br />

officially open ŌCHT’s eleventh<br />

community of new homes last<br />

Friday.<br />

Woods noted the project<br />

was delivered early and under<br />

budget, in spite of the pandemic,<br />

but that the project team’s work<br />

provided much “more than<br />

bricks and mortar.”<br />

A home is a pillar of whānau<br />

development and community<br />

wellbeing, and Coles Pl will<br />

provide stable homes for a new<br />

community, Dr Woods said.<br />

Dalziel said ŌCHT’s new<br />

developments exceeded what<br />

Easter<br />

some had in mind when the city<br />

council voted to form a trust to<br />

manage its community housing.<br />

The city council transferred<br />

the property to ŌCHT in 2019<br />

as part of the Christchurch<br />

Housing Accord. Construction<br />

on the new community started<br />

in May 2021.<br />

ŌCHT chief executive Cate<br />

Kearney said the trust will<br />

continue to provide modern,<br />

future-proofed responses to the<br />

ongoing need to help people into<br />

a home.<br />

“Community housing is<br />

needed more now than ever,<br />

especially as we see the impact<br />

of the housing shortage, high<br />

rentals and the effects of<br />

Covid-19 on the number of<br />

people in need of a home.<br />

“More and more people need a<br />

home, and they want the chance<br />

to sustain their tenancies, to have<br />

the security that comes with<br />

having a home and being part of<br />

a community.<br />

“Coles Place has been part<br />

of Christchurch’s community<br />

SOCIAL: The crowd looking<br />

over the homes on opening<br />

day. Above – the single<br />

units.<br />

housing story for nearly 70<br />

years, and the new community<br />

will continue making a positive<br />

contribution to our city for<br />

decades to come.”<br />

The trust was exploring ways<br />

to scale-up and bring even more<br />

new community and affordable<br />

housing to the city, Kearney said.<br />

ŌCHT’s new tenants are<br />

supported into homes from the<br />

Ministry of Social Development’s<br />

Public Housing Register.<br />

Just-released figures show<br />

more than 1800 people<br />

and families were waiting<br />

for community housing in<br />

Christchurch in December.<br />

New course for disc golfers opened<br />

• By Tatiana Gibbs<br />

A FOURTH disc golf course<br />

has opened as the sport’s rising<br />

popularity puts pressure on<br />

existing courses.<br />

The semi-wooded 18-hole<br />

course at Warren Park, Hornby,<br />

is the latest course to open on<br />

city council-owned parkland.<br />

It is also the first course in the<br />

south-west of the city.<br />

Christchurch Disc Golf Club<br />

chairman Paul Deacon said<br />

Warren Park was the first of<br />

15 new fully-specced courses,<br />

complete with target baskets and<br />

concrete tee pads, that the club<br />

wants to install in Christchurch.<br />

There are an estimated 20,000<br />

recreational disc golfers in New<br />

Zealand and about 2000 in<br />

Christchurch – more than the<br />

existing free courses in Burnside,<br />

New Brighton, and Parklands<br />

can accommodate.<br />

The Jellie Park course, which<br />

first opened in 2015, has become<br />

so popular, hosting up to 500<br />

keen disc golfers on a busy weekend,<br />

that it has reached capacity.<br />

“One of the things we’re hoping<br />

to do is relieve pressure,”<br />

Deacon said.<br />

Hornby disc golfer Stormy<br />

Phillips is stoked to have a<br />

course now just two blocks from<br />

home, saving him the commute<br />

to Burnside each week. He has<br />

played the 7.5km course about 10<br />

times in the last month alone.<br />

SKILLS: Glen Bellam (left) putts at the new Warren Park<br />

disc golf course, while Stormy Phillips tees off.<br />

“I can now stop by for a<br />

round on my way home from<br />

work.<br />

“I’ve brought friends down<br />

who live nearby, and they love<br />

it,” he said.<br />

Flatmates George Foster and<br />

Jarrod Lobb said having a course<br />

close by would keep them involved<br />

in the sport.<br />

“We probably would have<br />

fizzled out in winter if we had to<br />

drive to Jellie Park all the time,<br />

so having one here is so much<br />

better,” Foster said.<br />

Disc golf, which follows<br />

broadly similar rules to traditional<br />

ball golf but has players<br />

throw a plastic disc (or frisbee)<br />

into a metal basket, has taken off<br />

in popularity worldwide.<br />

Unlike most sports, people<br />

of different standards can play<br />

together, which makes it popular<br />

with families.<br />

“You can get a family going<br />

round or even three generations<br />

going round together,” Deacon<br />

said.<br />

“I know a guy well in his 80s<br />

still playing.”<br />

Sports activation adviser John<br />

Furlong said the city council<br />

hoped the new Warren Park<br />

course would be a success not<br />

just for disc golfers but also the<br />

wider community.<br />

“We see disc golf as a sport for<br />

serious users [and] casual users<br />

as well.”<br />

Because disc golf was open to<br />

all ages and abilities, and had<br />

a low barrier to entry, the city<br />

council hoped it would encourage<br />

more locals to use their community<br />

parks.<br />

Furlong said Ascot Park, at<br />

QEII, would be the next cab off<br />

the rank for a disc golf course.<br />

Plans for the course have already<br />

been approved by the city<br />

council and community board.

Painted wooden godwits for you to find<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />

TAKING A walk through<br />

Southshore will reveal 57<br />

wooden godwits, painted by the<br />

community.<br />

What started off as a small<br />

community painting day has<br />

spiralled into a great godwit hunt<br />

as locals scout out the brightly<br />

painted godwits scattered<br />

throughout the area.<br />

Southshore Residents<br />

Association member Maria<br />

Smolar helped organise the<br />

initiative, alongside fellow<br />

members Liz Yuki and Annette<br />

Bolton.<br />

Smolar said the project<br />

stemmed from the association<br />

wanting to put together<br />

something exciting after events<br />

had been cancelled because of<br />

Covid.<br />

Avon-Heathcote Estuary<br />

Ihutai Trust manager Tanya<br />

Jenkins suggested giving the<br />

association some wooden<br />

godwits, made with the help of<br />

Linwood Menz Shed volunteers.<br />

The idea was to give the<br />

godwits to members of the<br />

community to paint themselves,<br />

which soon turned into painting<br />

sessions held at Common<br />

Ground.<br />

The sessions attracted roughly<br />

20 people, including Coastal<br />

Ward councillor Celeste<br />

Donovan and Coastal-Burwood<br />

Community Board member Jo<br />

Zervos.<br />

Once people had painted their<br />

godwits they put them around<br />

the estuary edge and Rocking<br />

Horse Rd for others to see.<br />

Soon after, Smolar was<br />

approached by a local mother<br />

who suggested the idea of a<br />

godwit hunt. She had created a<br />

map for people to mark off when<br />

they spotted the birds.<br />

“We love it,” Smolar said.<br />

“I didn’t expect it to become<br />

this big thing, which has been really<br />

awesome.”<br />

Jenkins said the trust has done<br />

similar activities to this in the<br />

past but the Southshore Residents<br />

Association had gone all<br />

out and made it even better than<br />

she could have hoped for.<br />

“It is a roaring success,” she<br />

said.<br />

“We had to extend it and reprint<br />

more maps because our<br />

residents were having so much<br />

fun.”<br />

Smolar said some godwits<br />

SUCCESS: (From left) –<br />

Nick, Ripley, Rome and<br />

Liz Yuki with their godwit.<br />

Above right – Leo and Max<br />

Boxall spot a godwit while<br />

on a bike ride.<br />

were still waiting to be found<br />

and described the hunt as<br />

“intergenerational” as it’s not<br />

only kids who are participating,<br />

but families and adults too.<br />

“It’s just been really wonderful<br />

to see people being involved and<br />

being connected,” Smolar said.<br />

“It’s really a community effort<br />

and it’s been so much fun.”<br />

on the team through a serious<br />

of regional and national<br />

competitions and her fellow<br />

teammate from Mainland<br />

North Region BMX, Riley<br />

Smart, was also selected for<br />

the boys’ Mighty 11s team.<br />

The race was held at<br />

the Sleeman BMX facility<br />

the achievement has only<br />

fuelled her passion for the<br />

sport.<br />

Leaders in Learning<br />

Phew, what a Term 1 this has been!<br />

Just as we were about to welcome in the new school year,<br />

especially our new Year 9 students and their whānau, new staff,<br />

and other new students to the school, COVID-19 reminded us<br />

that life is never smooth sailing. All our plans were impacted,<br />

leading to significant changes to the way we normally operate.<br />

Once again, our school community adapted to the challenges<br />

and barriers we face. We’ve learned so much about isolation,<br />

masks, PCR tests and RATs, boosters, ventilation, scanning in<br />

and vaccine passes; while adjusting or cancelling events to<br />

comply with restrictions on gatherings. We’ve followed all these<br />

public health measures to alleviate the pressure on our health<br />

system and to protect those most at risk of getting sick. I want<br />

to reassure you all that Burnside High School continues to be a<br />

safe environment to be in.<br />

Our school, like all schools and workplaces, has experienced<br />

positive cases and people isolating in households. This has<br />

affected both staff and students. We monitored the situation<br />

daily, trying to keep students onsite for as long as possible,<br />

before accumulated staff absences necessitated a move to the<br />

hybrid learning model from 15 March. This meant students had a<br />

combination of face-to-face and remote learning on a rostered<br />

basis. While our aim was continuity of learning, we know how<br />

difficult this has been for both students and staff. We know how<br />

tiring it has been; and that we’d all much rather just be at school<br />

every day. I am proud of how everyone has handled the changes,<br />

disappointments, and frustrations associated with this disruptive<br />

period. Thank you for the way you have responded and adjusted.<br />

Communication between school and whānau continues to be a<br />

key factor in helping us manage the COVID situation. I hope you<br />

feel that you have been regularly informed through Schoology,<br />

our website, our Facebook page, and emails. Thank you very<br />

much for keeping us fully informed if your student is absent.<br />

We are looking forward to returning in Term 2 with all students<br />

and staff back onsite! I am confident that we will deal with<br />

whatever happens; and assure you that every effort will be made<br />

to recover lost time and teaching opportunities. As we begin the<br />

<strong>April</strong> holidays, we all know what we must do<br />

to continue to keep ourselves, our families,<br />

and our communities safe. It is also a time to<br />

rest, recharge, and take some time out.<br />

Let’s continue working together to make<br />

<strong>2022</strong> a successful year.<br />

Group keen to find new<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />

AN ACCOUNTANT, an<br />

immigration lawyer and a<br />

community board chairman<br />

all share a vision of building<br />

a community facility in<br />

Prestons.<br />

The Marshland Hall Trust,<br />

run by Coastal-Burwood<br />

Community Board chairman<br />

Kelly Barber, Sian Ruth and<br />

Adele Cornelius is looking<br />

to purchase a piece of land to<br />

build what will be a space for<br />

the community to share.<br />

And to get the community<br />

on board with its idea, the<br />

trust has been hosting trailer<br />

days over the weekends.<br />

Barber, Ruth and Cornelius<br />

take two trailers to the<br />

Marshland and Prestons areas<br />

for people to drop off rubbish<br />

before taking it to the dump,<br />

the costs being covered by the<br />

trust.<br />

Barber said people that have<br />

dropped off rubbish come<br />

from all over the subdivisions<br />

and have been “absolutely<br />

stoked” and they usually fill<br />

two trailers.<br />

“It’s perfect because they<br />

drive down with just a few<br />

things in their boot, just the<br />

things you’d want to take<br />

to the tip but you probably<br />

site for community facility<br />

PICK IT UP...<br />

DRIVE AWAY<br />

free<br />

wouldn’t make a special trip<br />

for it,” he said.<br />

The trust previously had a<br />

building at 430 Marshland<br />

Rd, but received a payout<br />

after earthquakes damaged<br />

the building. The trust sold<br />

the land it was occupying last<br />

year.<br />

Now, with the money from<br />

its previous space, the trust<br />

has begun consulting with the<br />

community about what they<br />

would like to see.<br />

Some suggestions included<br />

a basketball court, a stage,<br />

meeting rooms and the idea<br />

of hosting functions such as<br />

weddings was even thrown in<br />

the mix.<br />

Barber said the trust wants<br />

the facility to be self-funding<br />

and have offices to rent so<br />

people will be using it all the<br />

AWARENESS:<br />

Kelly Barber and<br />

Adele Cornelius<br />

at one of their<br />

trailer days to<br />

raise community<br />

awareness of<br />

their vision.<br />

time.<br />

The trust has been on a tour<br />

of a few community centres<br />

with city council staff to have<br />

a look at their options but<br />

Barber said it was still early<br />

days.<br />

The trust has plans to host<br />

more trailer days during the<br />

weekends that will be posted<br />

on the Marshland Hall Trust<br />
