School playground opened 

A NEW playground has been 

built for South New Brighton 

School as it celebrates its 

centenary this year. 

The playground is one of 

three that Mitre 10 Helping 

Hands has built as part of 

its Project Playground programme 

with the two others in 

Massey and Gisborne. 

Principal Sue Walls said the 

school is a fair distance from 

other playgrounds, so this new 

one acts a s a hub. 

“To have a playground that 

the community can come to 

with the whole family is special,” 

she said. 

In spite of disruptions and 

manufacturing delays, the 

playground opened last week, 

much to the pupils’ delight. 

The school was badly damaged 

during the earthquakes, 

resulting in loss of the hall and 

other facilities. 

The school’s Project Playground 

submission described 

the state of the school’s existing 

play equipment as dismal, however, 

any upgrades were put 

on hold while the classroom 

and hall design, plan and build 

were prioritised. 

“To have something new 

around the school feels like the 

rebuilding is starting to happen 

after 10 years,” Walls said. 

ENJOYMENT: The new 

playground comes just 

in time as the school 

celebrates its centenary 

this year. 

Christchurch Arena 

Travis Rd 

redesign 

draws 

criticism 

from 

businesses 

• By Emily Moorhouse 

A ONGOING battle between city 

council staff and business owners 

about design schemes on Travis 

Rd has finally come to an end. 

But not everyone is happy with 

the decision. 

The design scheme was first 

developed more than three years 

ago and has been followed by back 

and forth consultations to reach a 

compromise. 

The Waitai 

Coastal-Burwood 

Community 

Board 

approved the 

new scheme 

design for the 

section of Travis 

Rd between the 

Mike Watson 

Anzac Drive and 

Bower Ave intersections at its latest 

meeting. 

The design prohibits parking on 

the north side of Travis Rd, west 

of its intersection with Bower Ave, 

extending in an easterly direction 

to Wattle Drive to make space for 

cycle lanes. 

Hopman Motors owner Mike 

Watson opposed the original plan 

which proposed removing the 

flush median strip in 2019 due to 

safety concerns.

Sparks performance 

a night to remember 


VIOLINIST ARNA Morton 

has grown up with the Sparks 

concert – only this time 

around things looked a little 

different. 

Morton traded the view of 

the stage for the view of the 

audience as she performed 

with the Christchurch 

Symphony Orchestra at 

Saturday night’s Sparks in 

North Hagley Park. 

Although performing 

at Sparks was a firs time 

experience for Morton, 

she said the concert went 

rea ly we l and had a great 

atmosphere. 

“I was just so excited to be 

back performing together 

with the band,” she said. 

“Obviously last year we had 

a lot of disruptions so it was 

nice to have everyone get back 

into it.” 

Even after playing the 

violin since she was five, the 

coastal area resident said 

it was normal to sti l get 

nervous before a performance, 

especia ly for a large crowd. 

“There’s this heightened 

sense of adrenaline before 

you go on stage. I definitely 

still get nervous, which is 

important,” she said. “It’s 

about channe ling the energy 

required for a performance.”

Call for 

something 

to be done 

about 

Bromley 

‘stench’ 


RESIDENTS LIVING near the 

Bromley wastewater treatment 

plant have been “coping with the 

stench” for weeks now and want 

something done to fix it. 

The wastewater treatment plant 

caught fire in November and has 

been emitting an unpleasant smell 

ever since, causing frustration 

among residents. 

Katinka Visser has lived in 

Bromley for 35 years, and said 

while the stench hasn’t been as 

bad during the new year for her, 

she sometimes felt as though she 

couldn’t breathe. 

“I’ve had three nights that I 

virtually couldn’t breathe, it was 

that bad, there’s like a fog and it’s 

just sitting.’’ 

She said even after putting her 

head under the blankets, she 

could sti l smell the stench. 

Visser said because the wind 

has been coming from a southerly 

direction lately, she hasn’t been 

experiencing the sme l as strongly, 

but knows that residents close by 

do. 

“I’m so thankful that I’m not 

affected as much as most people,” 

she said. 

“There are people way, way 

worse off than me.”

Money 

puts hand 

up for local 

elections 


FORMER Coastal-Burwood 

chairwoman Kim Money has 

made a bid to return to local body 

politics, with plans to stand for 

council as an independent for the 

Coastal Ward. 

Celeste Donovan 

is the current 

Coastal Ward 

councillor and 

said it was always 

great for democracy 

when you 

had a choice. 

“It’s 

encouraging to hear another 

woman is standing and there will 

be others putting up a hand closer 

to the election date,” Donovan 

said. 

Money was the board’s 

chairwoman in 2016, but didn’t 

stand for re-election in 2019 due 

to personal circumstances. 

Now she says those 

circumstances have changed 

and the timing is right for her to 

throw her hat back in the arena. 

“I’m keen to get back again and 

represen this community that I 

love so much,” she said. “We rea ly 

do need that experience from the 

coast sitting a the council table 

and I would love to do that for my 

community.” 

Money said it had been 

unfortunate she couldn’t stand 

again in 2019 as there were a few 

unfinished things she needed to 

do. • Turn to page 4

Young trampolinist aims for Olympics 


A PROMISING young 

trampolinist has her sights set 

on the Olympics as she travels 

overseas to compete in two 

junior world cup competitions. 

Lauren Sheere, 15, set off over 

the weekend to compete in the 

Coimbra Gymfest (June 24-26) 

in Portugal and the Nissen Cup 

2022 (July 1-4) in Switzerland. 

For seniors the competitions 

serve to qualify for the Olympics 

but for juniors, like Lauren, it’s 

more about the experience. 

It will be her first time 

competing in a world cup 

competition. 

Lauren, of Parklands, began 

gymnastics when she was five 

before taking up competitive 

trampolining at Olympia 

Gymnastic Sports a few months 

later. 

She admits feeling a bit 

nervous about the world cup 

competitions, but recognises this 

isn’t out of the ordinary. 

“I think that comes with every 

competition, you’ve got nerves, 

it’s a normal thing, maybe more 

so than other comps because 

there’s more people there that 

are more competitive than 

people I’ve competed against 

before.” 

Lauren said she enjoys the 

adrenaline she gets from 

trampolining and completing 

routines, but said it takes a lot of 

mental strength to do it. 

“I would say 90 per cent of the 

sport is mental and the other 10 

per cent is physical, you’ve got 

to be mentally tough to do it, 

because you’re doing flips in the 

air, that’s like crazy.” 

Lauren will be travelling with 

three other New Zealand junior 

trampolinists and four seniors, 

including Tokyo 2020 Olympic 

bronze medalist Dylan Schmidt 

and New Zealand’s first female 

Olympic trampolinist, Maddie 

Davidson. 

Lauren often trains with 

Schmidt and Davidson at her 

club, so this isn’t unusual but 

said it would be good to travel 

with them. 

“It’s nice to go away with them 

and see them on an international 

level, competing wise.” 

Lauren’s mother Sandy Sheere 

will also be accompanying her. 

Sheere said Lauren “crams a lot 

in”, balancing training 12 hours 

a week with her coach Alex Nilov 

alongside school work, horse 

riding and playing football for 

Marian College. 

“She’s a pretty good allrounder. 

She does very well in 

anything she puts her mind to, 

she’s a pretty sensible and hardworking 

teenager for 15.” 

Lauren has been competing 

in the international division 

since she was 11 and represented 

New Zealand at the Australian 

Nationals in 2018 and 2019. 

She also qualified for the 

2020 Indo Pacific Trampoline 

Championships in Canada and 

the 2021 World Age Group 

Championship in Azerbaijan, 

however, due to Covid, wasn’t 

able to travel. 

The Olympia Gymnastic 

Sports management team 

described Lauren as a 

committed, high achieving and 

loyal athlete who encourages 

others. 

“(She’s) always pushing herself 

to the limit and striving to be the 

best she can be . . . Lauren has 

the necessary ability, personal 

drive, and commitment to be a 

high ranking and very successful 

trampolinist in New Zealand 

and internationally.” 

PROMISING: Lauren Sheere has been doing competitive 

trampolining since she was five. Last weekend she headed 

to Europe for her first world cup competition, and hopes to 

go to the Olympics one day.

‘They’re so determined to put bike lanes in’ 

• From page 1 

Watson had multiple meetings 

with city council staff and 

councillors to reach an agreement 

to leave the flush median strip, 

including parking his truck in 

the middle of the road to stop the 

strip being removed. 

“The new plan is probably the 

better of two evils I guess, I mean 

it’s not ideal to get rid of parking 

but I’d rather that than get rid of 

the median strip in the middle of 

the road.” 

While Watson said he’s happy 

that the flush median strip is 

staying, he doesn’t see the need 

for cycle lanes. 

“I’m here watching it all day 

and I never see any bikes, even 

when the school goes in and out, 

they’re not using the strip of road 

in any way whatsoever.” 

“They’re so determined to put 

bike lanes in. There’s no winning 

that one.” 

QE2 Pharmacy Limited coowner 

Simon Bensley said the 

no parking lines will take away 

easy access parking outside the 

pharmacy. 

“That’s going to affect us with 

lack of parking and the less 

people we’ve got coming in, the 

less business we get and the more 

rates we still have to pay.” 

• HAVE YOUR SAY: What 

do you think of the new 

design scheme? Email 

emily.moorhouse@ 

starmedia.kiwi. Keep 

responses to 200 words or 

less 

Bensley said he’s received feedback 

from older patients who prefer 

parking on the road outside 

the pharmacy as they don’t like 

going into crowded car parks. 

“Some of them don’t like going 

into the car park because it’s narrow 

so they want to park on the 

street,” he said. 

A transport network improvement 

scheme for Travis Rd, 

Bower Ave and the internal roading 

network within QEII Park 

was first developed throughout 

2016 and 2017. 

In March 2018 the community 

board approved part of 

the scheme with the rest of the 

scheme approved by the city 

council in 2018. 

However, due to confusion over 

the project between teams during 

Avonside Girls’ High development, 

the work was not completed 

east of the school, resulting 

in a road safety issue. 

After business owners’ opposed 

city council staff attempts to 

finish off the work, the process 

of consultation on new design 

schemes started, with a decision 

just now being reached. 

Community board chair Kelly 

Barber said he felt “pretty good” 

about the new design scheme and 

the decision wasn’t made lightly. 

“There was a lot of back and 

forth about it and that’s how you 

often get a good decision for the 

community,” he said. 

“A few compromises were made 

and council thought it through 

and came back with alternatives.” 

Barber said he expects the new 

design to be done over the next 

few months.

Basil, 80, and working 40 hours a week 

• By Susan Martin 

AT AN AGE when most of us 

have hung up the gloves – Basil 

Plato is out the door to full-time 

employment in Christchurch. 

A statistical anomaly, Basil 

turns 81 this year and says he has 

no plans to retire. He supports 

six men with disabilities in a 

house in Halswell – and has been 

with four of them for 22 years. 

Their average age is 65. 

So why is this veteran working 

40 hours a week? 

“For one thing, I like these 

guys,” he said. 

“We’ve seen a bit of life together. 

People need assistance 

out there. 

“Work keeps you plugged into 

life, feeling younger and ‘with 

it’ – but I know the truth when 

I look in the mirror. I’ve got 

my mates, mostly retired now. 

Oldies tend to talk about their 

aches and pains – and they’re 

legitimate concerns. 

“But I just think, while I’ve got 

my health, there’s more for me 

yet. If I slow down, I might start 

noticing all the bad stuff about 

being old. When it’s time, I think 

I’ll know,” he says. 

Basil says money’s not the 

driver as he’s “all set up.” 

For over 40 years, Basil worked 

as an independent contractor 

in forestry around Canterbury, 

as well as on dairy farms and 

building sites in the region. He 

CARER: Basil Plato supports men with disabilities. 

crossed paths with disability 

when he took time out to care for 

his wife during a long illness. 

“People commented on my 

carer skills, and about 2000, 

a friend saw jobs in disability 

homes and said: “Hey you’d be 

good at that,” he said. 

This was a period in New 

Zealand when policy on disability 

was changing. The state 

was winding up a historic 

programme to segregate babies, 

children and adults with intellectual 

disability in institutions. 

People were being released to 

join the community. 

Basil landed a job with NZ- 

Care (now NZCommunity Living) 

– a Government-funded inhome 

support provider. NZCare 

was responsible for resettling 

residents from the Templeton 

Centre between the mid-1990s 

and 2000. 

Templeton was New Zealand’s 

first and largest psychopaedic 

institution. Built in 1928, and 

originally called the ‘Templeton 

Farm Colony’, its purpose was to 

PHOTO: STAR MEDIA 

‘detain mental defectives.’ 

Basil says he knew little about 

disability at first. 

“We’d all heard the spooky 

rumours about places like Templeton. 

But you didn’t know. You 

didn’t see the people,” he said. 

“I remember my first day, I 

was put on for a nightshift. At 

the end of it I thought – well, 

this won’t be my cup of tea. But 

I turned up the next day and my 

manager said: ‘You’ve come back 

– you’ll be okay’.” 

Basil says the clincher for him 

was NZCare’s proviso that staff 

obtain formal qualifications. 

“I had to do a level 4 certificate, 

which was hard for me, but disability 

is a skilled support area. 

I wouldn’t have known how to 

understand and support the people. 

I mean, I didn’t know there 

were people who didn’t speak,” 

he says. 

Basil says with time, training 

and experience, he learnt there 

were other ways to converse, 

grasp and relate to people. 

“It takes years though to really 

‘get’ a different communication,” 

he said. 

Five of the six residents are 

non-verbal, with autism a common 

theme. 

“We’re always trying to read 

and understand what’s going 

on for them. We’re all pretty 

predictable, and these guys are 

no different. 

“But we just wish we knew 

more sometimes – that they 

could tell us – look, I’ve got a 

bloody headache, a toothache, 

my arthritic knee’s getting 

bitten into, I’m craving cheese, 

oranges, coffee – or I’m just extra 

hungry today and this time it’s 

serious, not my usual haggle,” he 

says. 

Basil says he’s a person who is 

always observing, thinking and 

trying to figure out what makes 

others tick.

For us and our children after us. 

Kia orana, , Noa’ia, Talofa lava, Mauri, 

Mālō e lelei, Tālofa, Ni Sa Bula Vinaka, 

Fakaalofa lahi atu, Mālō ni and warm 

Pacific greetings. Tēnā koutou, tēnā 

koutou, tēnā tatou katoa. Nau mai, Haere 

Mai! 

My heart-felt thanks to whānau who have 

supported Haeata over the past four 

weeks as we have weathered the storm 

of COVID-19, viral flu and general illness. 

These are tough times for us all and we 

appreciate the wero we face as we await 

the bleak days of mid winter. On the 

bright side we have a beautiful, warm, safe 

and clean kura where lunch arrives for 

free each day and for that we are grateful. 

Over recent weeks there are many things 

we have been able to celebrate as a kura 

even in these tough times. We celebrated 

Gagana Samoa from 29 May - 4th June 

2022, and it was lovely to see so many 

ākonga actively engaged in activities that 

strengthened our understanding of the 

culture, language and people. As well, our 

sports teams across all codes have been 

enjoying games against rival kura teams. 

Our strength and confidence continues to 

grow and our athletes are a credit to us. 

If you wish to be involved in coaching or 

managing a team for winter sports, please 

contact the kura. We would love to hear 

from you. 

We are very excited to 

be celebrating the first 

public holiday dedicated to 

Matariki on Friday 24 June 

2022. Matariki is a time 

for remembrance, a time 

to honour those we have 

lost since the last rising of 

Matariki. Watch out for 

events and activities as 

the day edges closer and 

expect lots of beautiful art 

work to find its way to 

your fridge door. 

Just a reminder that Haeata Board 

elections will now be held between 5 

September and 23 September 2022. This 

is an excellent way to begin a career in 

governance starting at the grass roots. 

Board members are paid a monthly 

meeting fee and provided with excellent 

training. We would love you to consider 

standing for the Board and helping us to 

provide quality education to all ākonga of 

Haeata. 

This week we celebrate Schools’ Pride 

Week/Whakanuia te uenuku ki ia kura, 

from Monday 13 June – Friday 17 June. It 

is an important opportunity to celebrate 

pride and support rainbow young 

people in our kura and the wider school 

community. What sets us apart as a kura 

is our wonderful diversity and our belief 

in the importance of manaakitanga and 

whānaungatanaga. Our focus must always 

be on that for all ākonga. 

Ko Haeata Tātou! 

Kia kaha, kia toa, kia manawanui 

He tangata ki tahi.

Performing Arts Update by Con van den Berg 

Letty Senituli and Fono Iafeta participated in The 

Smokefree Tangata Beats Regional Competition 

this past weekend with an original song called 

January the 15th. This song is about the Tsunami 

that devastated the island 

nation of Tonga on the 15th 

of January 2022. 

They are now invited to 

submit a video submission of 

1 additional song/ 4 minutes 

for selection to the National 

Final. 

Kōmanawa update 

We had the pleasure of having Anne-Marie, a NASA trained kaiako come and take 

her space programme with Takirau and Mutuwhenua. She spoke to us about the 

training astronauts get, what life is like living in space (like how to go to the toilet, how 

to eat and how to treat injuries) and about the cluster of stars we know as Matariki. 

We all had the choice of dressing up in space suit costumes, these were very like 

what the astronauts wear in space, we made Matariki lanterns to help us remember 

the ingoa of the stars and looked at videos all about being an astronaut. 

It was a lot of fun and akonga really got into the activities, especially the bit about how 

astronauts use the space wharepaku, they were fascinated! 

We were designers through our completion of our lanterns, every one was different! 

We worked collaboratively and supported each other in our mahi and contributed 

our ideas in discussions. We helped Anne-Marie with our knowledge of Matariki 

which was different to hers and how to say some things in Te Reo Māori. We 

showed Fa’aaloalo through our generosity with resources and looking after those of 

our guest, too. We stood tall as Haeata 

Year 10 English ākonga become Reporters. 

Kaiako: Helen Lord and student teacher Philip Cummins 

Recently, the students were set the 

challenge to become reporters, and 

to go seek out a quirky or interesting 

story from any of our teachers at 

Haeata Community Campus. With 

Philip’s guidance, they helped plan 

questions, looked at newspaper or 

magazine articles to observe how 

the real journalists presented their 

articles, and looked for design ideas. 

After emailing their chosen teacher, 

some bravely went and carried out 

an interview,(while others took to 

fear and trembling and hid) took 

notes, then wrote up the articles. 

After editing the various stories 

which spoke of intrepid travels, near 

death experiences, giving birth on the 

streets, home invasions and robbery, 

our ākonga finally added photos 

and printed their articles for a wall 

display in Mikimiki classroom. We 

feel very proud of their mahi and the 

confidence they gained during the 

process. 

Y7/8 Maths Update by Anj Wirtitsch: 

Here are some photos of 

Cluster 3 and 4 - Kaunuku 

7/8 doing Just-In-Time Maths 

where ākonga are able to 

problem solve, justify, explain 

their understanding of the 

maths problems. A lot of great 

discussion was had between 

groups. Wonderful to see 

the class engage in solving 

mathematical problems.

‘You build relationships in this job’ 

•From page 6 

“One of our guys here sits in 

his favourite chair. At face value, 

you’d think he’s in his own 

world. But I see what he’s up to. 

He’s watching us all in the reflection 

of the telly, taking in what 

everyone’s doing behind him – 

who’s talking to who, who’s saying 

what. I catch him grinning 

and nodding when something 

resonates or tickles his fancy. 

“It’s easy to overlook some 

people, especially when they 

don’t use words. But you have no 

idea how clued up they might be. 

Don’t think you’ve got someone’s 

number or know what they’re 

grinning about – they know 

things you don’t.” 

Basil says the residents are 

experts at watching and reading 

human nature. 

“They’ve had hundreds of staff 

come and go. They’ve spent a lifetime 

scanning the faces of those 

‘in charge’ and sizing up what 

they’re in for. 

“They also know if you think 

they are ‘stupid’ in all kinds 

of subtle ways. They hear and 

understand everything you say. 

They know what you think of 

them,” he said. 

Basil believes the bad old days 

of bigotry have largely gone. 

“People are a lot less scary close 

up, and once they’ve got a name 

and identity, and you break bread 

with them,” he said. 

Like everyone in Christchurch, 

Basil and the men have their stories 

on the earthquakes of 2010 

and 2011. 

“Their house was destroyed. 

My manager said: ‘Throw what 

you can in a van, drive the guys 

up to Picton, I’ve booked a 

ferry to Wellington. We found 

emergency accommodation in 

Hawera,” he says. 

The men flew back to Christchurch 

six months later when a 

house became available. 

Asked what makes a good support 

worker Basil says: 

“Oh training is key. Then you 

need a good team of people – 

quality, mix, numbers wise. You 

need the right attitude – you have 

to be there for the guys. 

“As staff, we have to stay 

vigilant against any attitude 

of ‘control’ creeping into the 

house. We’re here to support the 

people – not to dominant them 

or suit ourselves. Our blokes are 

fully-fledged adults, sensitive 

and aware, with every right to 

be here, to feel respected and 

valued, safe and relaxed, and to 

have good and bad days,” he says. 

And does Basil regard the men 

as friends? “Yes and no,” he said. 

“People matter. You build 

relationships in this job. But I 

also realise, I can only do my bit. 

I’ve got another life – a partner, 

friends, kids, grandkids. The 

switch does goes off. But I think 

you need that boundary.” 

A colleague who works closely 

with Basil says: “The residents 

all love Basil. Maybe it’s his 

communication style, tone of 

voice, mannerisms, humour or 

longevity. But some breathe a 

sigh of relief when comes in or 

gets back from holidays, a sort of 

‘thank God you’re here.’ Maybe 

they’ve had enough of us mostly 

females.” 

With staff turnover notoriously 

high in disability work, and 

women composing most of its 

workforce – this group of residents 

in a Halswell house could 

be doing a lot worse than having 

this enduring man in their lives. 

Finally, when asked the 

obligatory career question of, so, 

where do you see yourself in 10 

years? Basil laughs and says: “Las 

Vegas. That was the plan before 

Covid. I’d really like to see Las 

Vegas.” 

There is a Royal Commission 

of Inquiry in New Zealand 

into historic abuse in care 

between 1950 and 1999. A public 

hearing, which will include 

the experiences of people with 

disabilities in institutions, will 

be held in July. This is a chance 

to make disability history seen 

and heard.
