4 Thursday August 25 2022 School Update He Manukura Pitopito Kōrero Ma whero ma pango ka oti ai te mahi With red and black the work will be complete 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! We have been very fortunate to fill all of the vacant positions on the Haeata Community Campus Board. Our congratulations to newly elected Kelley Gibson, Irihapiti Mahuika, and re-elected Rebecca Wilkinson and Ryan Wilson. We are grateful for your support of our kura! On Friday, 19 August 2022 Years 11, 12 and 13 enjoyed themselves at the Senior Formal. It was a wonderful occasion and a right of passage for our rangitahi. Our thanks go to the plethora of sponsors, including Programmed Maintenance, Cyclone, Wainoni Pak N Save, New World Prestons, Glam for the Gram, Rangiora Bakery and Anglea from Ricoh, all of whom gave so generously to support our rangatahi. As we begin Week 6 of Term 3 I notice a real fatigue setting in amongst Kaimahi and ākonga alike. Term 3 is traditionally the hardest term due to high workloads for senior students, challenging weather and a high absenteeism across the kura. If whānau need assistance at this time please make contact with the kura to ensure we are aware. Spring officially begins on Thursday, 1st September 2022 and hopefully we will see an improvement in the weather and the number of sunshine hours during the day. Cell phones continue to be a problem at kura and are contributing to many of the problems faced by our rangatahi. Cyber bullying continues to erode many of the relationships they form at kura and often results in negative and unwanted behaviours during the school day. I have included here the key messages we are currently consulting on for our updated Cell Phone policy. We are keen for your feedback. • Cell phones are prohibited from use in classrooms and any other area in which academic work is being done unless otherwise instructed by the teacher. • Headphones and other Bluetooth enabled devices are not permitted to be worn in class and must be put away securely by the student in any academic area. • Cell phones are not to be used in bathrooms. • Once inside the school, students must store their cell phones/electronic devices in a location that is not visible to the teacher or other students, even though they are on SILENT. It is the student’s responsibility to keep their device(s) secure. • If a cell phone/electronic device rings, vibrates, or is used for any reason without teacher permission, or is visible anytime during class time or if a student is caught using it on campus during class time, a staff member may confiscate the device and a whānau member may come and pick it up. • Under no circumstance is voice recording, photographing or video recording allowed anywhere on the school campus. • Texting and cell phone use is permitted during the lunch breaks in the cafeteria. • All cell phone use must be respectful and non-disruptive to students and staff. • Phones must remain on silent at all times throughout the school day. • Whānau, please note you can contact your ākonga via their cell phone during the lunch breaks • In the event of an immediate emergency, please call the school’s main office on 03 930 0110 • The staff of Haeata Community Campus requests your FULL cooperation with our policy. • It should be noted that, the school nor any of its employees are responsible for the loss or damage to any student’s phone or electronic device whether that device is in the student’s possession or confiscated by the staff. • It is the responsibility of the student to adhere to this policy and to secure his or her belongings at all times. Classes and or instruction will not be stopped to deal with or search for lost phones/devices. Ko Haeata Tātou! Kia kaha, kia toa, kia manawanui He tangata ki tahi. Dr Peggy Burrows, Manukura Kōmanawa Hapori Update Ko Māui Hangarau is a Māori Tech and innovation Summit for rangatahi Māori, whanau and educators that aims to awaken, inspire, and ignite rangatahi to see the infinite opportunities in the tech industry.

Thursday August 25 2022 5 SLOW DOWN: The Cowes St and Orrick Cres roundabout was put in to stop vehicles doing burnouts. Roundabout to stop burnouts could stay • By Natalie Pham A TEMPORARY roundabout in Avondale has proven to be effective at preventing burnouts. The roundabout at Cowes St and Orrick Cres was put in by the city council to determine if it could stop cars performing burnouts. If the trial proves successful, the roundabout could stay. The modular roundabout also includes speed humps, no parking lines, traffic separators and flexi posts. Waitai Coastal-Burwood Community Board chairman Kelly Barber said he has not received any complaints from residents about burnouts. “Hearing from the people that I know, the roundabout has been effective,” he said. “I am sure that people will contact me if anything happens.” However, Barber said some residents are concerned the problem might move to another location. Construction of the roundabout started in late July and finished on August 12. It was part of the city council’s Slow Speed Neighbourhoods programme. Public consultation on the Avondale project was open from November to December last year. It received 62 submissions. Residents highlighted issues with driver behaviour issues around the area, particularly at the Cowes St and Orrick Cres intersection.

Sparks performance a night to remember • By Emily Moorhouse 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 well 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 still 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 sti l get nervous, which is important,” she said. “It’s about channelling the energy required for a performance.” • Turn to page 4 rock & roll fashion Add some Retro rockabi ly inspired swing dresses, classic polka dots, crazy or zany prints, flirty florals and more • Lady V, He l Bunny, Lindy Bop, Banned Apparel, Retrospec’d • Old fashioned Laybys • Afterpay, Laybuy & Genoapay are available Rockabilly RetRo to your wardrobe Proud sponsor of trophy a the 32nd Muscle car Madness Show 2022 Rangiora “BEST POTENTIAL” Call for something to be done about Bromley ‘stench’ • By Emily Moorhouse 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 sme l 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 virtua ly 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 sme l 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.” • Turn to page 5 Move YOUR OUR DEDICATION Making a move in 2022?

Money puts hand up for local elections • By Emily Moorhouse 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 counci lor and said it was always great for democracy when you had a choice. “It’s encouraging to hear another woman is standing and there wi l 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 represent this community that I love so much,” she said. “We really 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 Kim Money YOUR ONE STOP SHOP! TYRES NEW & USEd Wo FULL MECHANICAL bOOk WHEEL ALIGNMENTS SERVICES McMaster & Heap Veterinary practice ORTHOPEDICS AT McMASTER & HEAP We tackle everything at McMaster & Heap. We are so fortunate to have a skilled experienced team of 11 veterinarians who each have their own area of expertise whether it be surgery, eyes, dentistry, chemotherapy, ultrasound and imaging, medicine… the list goes on. One of our veterinarians, Lynne, has a keen interest in surgery, whether it be abdominal, skin or bone. Most weeks orthopaedic surgery is performed in our sterile surgical suite with the dedicated surgical team. We see many patients for lameness issues and one of the most common injuries we see is “Anterior cruciate ligament rupture ( ACL)”. This is a very common injury in Athletes and skiers and also dogs. In the canine patient, this injury needs to be surgically repaired for the dog to gain full mobility again, enjoy life and be pain free. It occurs in any age dog - an active working dog or an overweight elderly dog. There are many surgical procedures out there to repair this stifle instability but Lynne performs a procedure TPLO, which has shown to give better results than many of the other procedures out there, predicting 90% return to normal limb function. Hunter, a 5 year old Crossbred recently had a TPLO performed due to a chronic ACL tear. Hunter had been chronically lame for 2 years and was increasingly worse with exercise. His hind leg was becoming weaker and more muscle wasted and he was unable to enjoy any form of outdoor activity. His favourite activity was chasing wheels of anything that moved. Radiographs were taken of his stifles and hips and cruciate disease was strongly suspected. Hunter underwent the knife so to speak, and so far so good. He is recuperating well and weight bearing on his operated leg. Hopefully his return to full function will be uneventful. Chester, an adorable 1 year old ginger cat was seen on a Sunday for a non weight bearing hind leg lameness. He’d been missing for 4 days, and arrived home on 3 legs. A nasty infected femoral fracture was diagnosed on X-rays and he had a large open wound present too. He was so brave, purring and rolling around for tummy tickles through most of the exam, seemingly not in pain. The fracture itself was difficult to repair and the fact it was an open fracture increased the surgical complication rate and chances of implant failure. The owner opted for amputation and Chester breezed through his surgery today, on waking up he was back to his cheeky, very cute, happy self. At McMaster & Heap we offer clients many options. At the end of the day we aim to eliminate patient suffering, save lives and work with clients to decide on the best outcomes for them and their pets. It is a team based approach and we are here to help you in the decision making and care for your pets as we would our own. I believe every patient that enters our practice deserves Gold Star treatment and the very best veterinary medicine has to offer. That is and will always be our goal.
