Up it goes: Pukeko Centre 

sports hall takes shape 

• By Natalie Pham 

RESIDENTS ARE delighted 

with visible signs of progress 

made at Parkland’s Pukeko 

Centre. 

Latest construction work has 

marked the completion of the 

superstructure and skeleton 

build of the multi-use sports 

hall. 

More work will be carried 

out to complete the $1.2 million 

hall in the following months, 

including infrastructure and 

fit out. 

When it opens late next year, 

the hall will provide space for 

sports activities, indoor bowls, 

club meetings, presentations 

and performances. 

Pukeko Centre committee 

member Andrew Weastell said 

the sports hall is ‘pretty much 

fully-funded now’. 

“I’m absolutely delighted. It 

has been a long, hard road, particularly 

the last two or three 

years. I want to acknowledge all 

the grant providers that have 

come on board, particularly 

the Christchurch City Council 

and local councillor Celeste 

Donovan.” 

The centre has received a 

number of inquiries as the 

community started to see the 

progress. 

Said Weastell: “We’ve got a 

number of groups standing by 

INTEREST: The centre has received a number of inquiries 

from groups since construction started two weeks ago. 

waiting for the [sports hall] to 

be built and opened so they can 

get in and use it.” 

When completed, it will also 

be used as a school hall for 

Parkview Primary School. 

Weastell said the school never 

received sufficient funding after 

the February 22, 2011, earthquake 

to build a new hall that is 

fit for purpose. 

“Their school hall holds 150 

kids, but the school roll is close 

to 450 so they haven’t got an 

indoor space for a gathering assembly 

for the whole school.” 

The next stage will be 

building a new breezeway and 

completing the car parking, 

while the last stage will be the 

completion of the landscaping 

and an outdoor futsal court.

Toy library searching for a new librarian 


A JOB opportunity for toy-lovers 

is now available at a library in 

Shirley, but with a catch. 

The hunt for a toy librarian 

at the Shirley Toy Library has 

begun after its longest librarian 

resigned this year. 

Said president Rachel Seddon: 

“It’s a cool job because you get to 

play with toys all day.” 

However, the opening hours 

are “a little bit odd”. 

At the moment, this not-forprofit 

library only opens twice 

a week – Wednesday afternoon 

and Saturday morning. 

While committee members 

want to open the library more 

often, limited funding and 

grants have stopped them from 

doing so. 

As most of the grants are 

spent on acquiring new toys, 

the library is left with little to no 

money. 

This also restricts them from 

advertising to attract more 

members. 

“We tend to make a little loss 

every year. We rely on grants, 

donations, and membership fees 

to keep us afloat,” Seddon said. 

The library will be looking into 

increasing its hours once there 

are more members on board. 

It used be the biggest toy 

library in the country with 

more than 100 members until 

a decrease in membership in 

recent years. 

It currently has 62 members, 

with 32 full members and 28 

duty members. 

A full membership costs 

$120 per year, whereas a duty 

membership costs $40. As duty 

members pay less fees, they are 

required to complete four duties 

during their membership year, 

including rostering at the library 

and fundraising. 

However memberships do not 

cover the additional rental fees 

ranging from 50 cents to $5, 

depending on the toys. 

Members can borrow up to 10 

toys at a time, with a collection 

of 1000 toys catering from 

newborn to seven years old. 

“While the full membership 

gives us more money, it also 

makes the finding of a new 

librarian more important,” 

Seddon said. 

She joined the library as a 

duty member in 2018 before 

getting more involved with the 

committee a year later. 

As a mother of two, Seddon 

knows how quickly a child can 

grow out of a toy. 

“So the library works very well. 

And it’s very good for reducing

old. 

and recycling toys because 

everyone is sharing toys,” she 

said. 

The memories her two 

children have made with these 

toys are what she likes most 

about volunteering at the library. 

Seddon recommended people 

get involved with a toy library, 

particularly new mothers or 

parents.

The Daughter of Auschwitz 

My story of resilience, survival and Hope 

by tova Friedman, Malcolm Brabant, 

Foreword by Ben Kingsley 

The harrowing, moving and poignant account of one of the youngest 

survivors of Auschwitz: a girl who was only five years old when she 

was sent to an extermination camp, and was one of the few people who 

entered a gas chamber and lived to tell her story. 

‘I am a survivor. That comes with a survivor’s obligation to represent one 

and half million Jewish children murdered by the Nazis. They cannot 

speak. So I must speak on their behalf.’

ULTIMATE INSIDER-No one spent more time closer to President Trump on

LONG-AWAITED-Few figures have been as enigmatic as Kushner, driving 

speculation everything from him being “Q” to heading the Deep State. 

In this book, we’ll finally find out where he really stands. STUNNINGLY

Entrepreneurship Thriving 

at Te Aratai College 

Our Business Studies has been experiencing 

rapid growth, resulting in several successes 

in the national Young Enterprise Scheme 

competition. Our kura is punching well above 

its weight, placing well in the competition and 

scooping up exclusive spots on the Young 

Enterprise Scheme trips. The Lion Foundation 

Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) is an 

opportunity for students to unleash their innerentrepreneur 

and experience the start-up world 

first-hand. YES is an experiential programme 

where students set up and run a real business. 

This year three of our students have secured 

spots on business trips to learn about 

entrepreneurship in China, Latin America, 

and an immersive two-day “Entrepreneurs in 

Action” course in Wellington. 

In the past, some of our ākonga have garnered 

local and national media attention with 

their endeavours. There was the “Popcoin” 

enterprise that spotted a gap in the snack 

food market – gourmet popcorn. The Year 13 

entrepreneurs sold the snacks at markets and 

pop-up stalls across Christchurch. Not only did 

the company make a profit and have to employ 

other students to meet demand, but they were 

named winners of the 2019 Canterbury Young 

Enterprise product launch. 

Another successful endeavour was the Year 

13 business team that created a children’s 

book, ‘A Trip Around the World’—designed to 

promote diversity amongst young readers and 

to “say no to racism.” The first print run of the 

book flew off the shelves resulting in 

a sellout within two weeks. The book 

can also be found in several libraries 

around Christchurch. Their success 

was also picked up in the national 

media. Additionally, they were 

presented with the excellence award 

for customer and market engagement 

at the Young Enterprise regional 

finals. 

This year Te Aratai has 10 teams 

from two Year 13 business classes 

competing in the Young Enterprise 

Scheme, a competition where 

students learn key business skills and 

compete against schools nationally 

by setting up their own businesses. 

Two teams have been featured 

in local media and have received 

positive feedback from the 

community, including local MPs. 

Launched by five enterprising 

Year 13 students, “Cheeky Grill” 

combines the best of Indian and 

Mexican food to create exceptional 

butter chicken burritos and 

quesadillas. It started when Azkiya 

Mohammed, Ashlyn Reddy, Nitin 

Ratui, Dipshay Prasad and Lupe 

Mahoni wanted to produce some 

soul-warming food. Since March 

this year, the students have been 

selling at their school sites and the Mt Pleasant 

Food Truck Alley. They were amazed by the 

success of their “Mindian” dishes. Cheeky Grill 

have sold out at the locations they’ve been to, 

with the most successful stint at the Food Truck 

Alley. 

Another successful team to feature in the 

news this year is the “pHyzi” team who have 

prototyped, produced and sold colourful fizzy 

bombs that can be used to wash dishes. Chief 

executive Manisha Baines said the group was 

inspired to develop the product after seeing 

young children becoming frustrated and bored 

with household chores. Marketing director 

Fabian Kazakos-Gardner said, “We thought 

about how we could help and being keen on 

science came up with the idea of colourful fizzy 

dish tablets that work like bath bombs.” 

Kaltan Kazakos-Gardner, our current Deputy- 

Head Student, who has taken Business 

Studies throughout his senior schooling, was 

recently awarded a spot in the Latin American 

Business programme that places Year 13 

NCEA Business students on a two-day course 

in Auckland. This course teaches students 

about developing business opportunities in 

Latin America. He says, “Business Studies at 

Te Aratai College offers a range of amazing 

opportunities that teach you real-world skills. 

There are also plenty of chances to be a part 

of activities and trips where you will meet 

amazing people. I was fortunate to be a part 

of one of these trips, which led me to meet the 

ambassador of Argentina.”

Shirley Boys’ High School kapa haka group was invited 

to perform for Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori at The Palms 

shopping centre two weeks ago. While the group wasn’t 

at full strength due to exam week, it was great to come 

together and celebrate te reo Māori. 

The Harcourts Geraldine Festival, 

featuring the Alpine Energy Art 

Exhibition and Awards, is delighted 

to be returning after a hiatus during 

COVID, with plenty in store for 

everyone to enjoy at this year’s event. 

The Festival opens on the evening of 

Thursday 10th November with the 

Alpine Energy Art Awards, marking 

the 25th year that Alpine Energy 

has supported and sponsored the 

exhibition. We will be celebrating this 

important silver anniversary in style 

that evening with refreshments and 

nibbles, and awards announcements, 

plus the first chance to view and 

purchase art. Everyone is welcome. 

Friday gives way to the busy and vibrant 

street market in the centre of Geraldine, 

with local favourites OJ and the Drama 

Queens entertaining the crowds. 

Saturday is the main event, when the 

peaceful Geraldine Domain becomes 

a bustling hub for a day as stalls, food 

trucks, kids’ entertainment, and live music 

blend to create a great family day out. 

Our open gardens are a hugely popular 

part of the festival, and most are open 

Friday through to Sunday, giving 

everyone a chance enjoy them at 

their leisure. There are also a range of 

complementary events taking place in 

and around Geraldine that weekend, 

including vintage car displays and rides, 

book-a-rama, Soul Food Concert and 

much more.

GOAL: Harry Priestley marked his second participation in a dressage event at Christchurch Riding for the Disabled last week. 

Young Harry happy to be back 

in horse riding programme 


SIX YEARS ago, Harry Priestley 

got frustrated and walked away 

from his horse riding programme. 

However, the 11-year-old has 

marked his second participation 

in a dressage event at the Christchurch 

equestrian centre last week. 

Harry was among 10 riders of 

varying ages and disabilities taking 

part in the event organised 

by Christchurch Riding for the 

Disabled. 

Because the event focused on the 

rider achieving the goal of completing 

the test and getting marked 

on the completion, each participant 

received a certificate and a score 

sheet. 

Said CHCHRDA president 

Philippa Parker: “We make it as 

fun and relaxed as possible.” 

All participants have been 

attending weekly sessions prior 

to the event, with each session 

tailoring to their specific needs and 

personal goals. 

The Christchurch South 

Karamata Intermediate pupil was 

diagnosed with autism when he 

was three. 

Said his mother Rachel: “For 

Harry and the way that his brain 

works, it’s about what Harry wants 

and what Harry needs. But as 

humans, we need to learn how to 

work with other people.” 

Harry is enrolled in two programmes 

– education and sport 

and recreation, where he gets 

to learn about horse riding and 

challenges himself with exercises 

require teamwork. 

“Everyone has helped me in all 

different ways,” he said. 

“I used to get really, really angry 

but now I don’t get angry at all. 

Well, I’m better at managing my 

anger than I used to.” 

The organisation also offers a 

therapy programme for riders who 

have higher support needs, ranging 

from building muscle strength to 

improving walking ability. 

Harry began the riding sessions 

with New Zealand Riding for the 

Disabled at five-years-old. However, 

his sessions have been on and 

off due to high demands. 

Like many riders, he started with 

a small pony and worked his way 

up. After many years, he is finally 

paired with Zeus - a ‘big and tall’ 

horse. 

When Harry first walked in 

with his new horse, Parker said he 

looked proud of himself. 

“Zeus challenges Harry to 

work with it. That horse can be 

independent if it wants to, so Harry 

has to make sure that the horse is 

listening to the instruction.” 

SUCCESS: Harry was proud when he finally got paired up with his new horse Zeus.

Kick into spring with 

a plant-based diet 

Alison Lambert has been balancing her weekly food budget 

by digging into her pantry and experimenting with pulses 

and grains, with warming results 

Panelle – Sicilian chickpea fritters 

Ingredients 

230g chickpea flour 

3 cups water, room temperature 

2 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped 

1 litre vegetable oil 

1 lemon 

Sea salt flakes 

Freshly cracked black pepper 

PHOTOS: SIMON LAMBERT 

Directions 

Pour the water into a large bowl. 

Gradually add the flour, stirring constantly 

to remove all lumps. 

Pour the mixture into a saucepan, and 

cook over medium heat until thick like 

polenta or porridge. 

Remove from the heat and add salt and 

pepper to taste. Add the parsley and stir to 

combine. 

Have a clean chopping board or something 

similar ready. 

Pour the mixture immediately on to 

the board and spread evenly. Cover with 

baking paper and gently roll to a thickness 

of 4mm. 

Cool the dough for at least 2 hours to 

firm up. 

Cut the dough into rectangles sized 5cm 

x 3cm. 

Pour the oil into a deep-sided, heavybased 

pan. Heat to 170degC. 

Cook two to four panelle at a time – it 

is important not to overcrowd the pan. 

Fry until golden for 3 minutes then turn 

and cook for a further 3 minutes or until 

golden and puffy. Remove with a slotted 

spoon and drain on kitchen paper. 

Continue until all the panelle are all 

cooked. 

Squeeze over a little lemon juice and 

sprinkle sea salt and pepper. 

Enjoy them as a tasty snack.

Quinoa crepes 

Makes 10 

Ingredients 

1½ cup quinoa 

1½ cups filtered water 

1 cup tightly packed greens such as 

spinach, silverbeet or kale 

2 tsp coconut oil or olive oil 

2 spring onions, roughly chopped 

½ tsp salt 

½ chilli 

Coconut oil for cooking 

Suggested toppings: 

Grated carrot and beets 

Tofu or tempeh 

Cashew or chickpea hummus 

Salad leaves 

Sprouts, seeds and nuts 

Directions 

Begin by generously covering the quinoa 

in cold water. Let sit for 12 hours at room 

temperature. 

Drain the quinoa and rinse. 

Place the quinoa, filtered water, greens, 

coconut oil, spring onions, salt and chilli 

in a blender. 

Blend until smooth. 

Pour the batter into a non reactive bowl 

and let sit at room temperature for at least 

6-12 hours. You will notice little bubbles 

appearing on the surface. This is perfectly 

fine, in fact this is part of the fermentation 

process. This stage will help be kind on 

your gut. 

When ready to cook, place a medium 

sized fry pan over moderate heat. 

Add a little coconut oil and ladle or 

measure about ¼ cup, gently smooth out 

the crepe so it is a circle 12-15cm diameter. 

Cook for 3 minutes or until you see the 

crepe change colour, flip and cook the 

other side for 2 minutes more. Remove and 

repeat until the crepes are all cooked. 

You can eat these with a filling and roll

Risingholme Community Centre 

sticking to their roots with new 

brand “Risingholme Learning” 

We are pleased to announce that Risingholme 

Community Centre is now trading as 

Risingholme Learning. The rebrand includes a 

rollout of a new logo and a new website. 

Our new brand pays homage to the last 75+ 

years, the present and is a `nod to the future’. 

The rebrand highlights Risingholme’s focus on 

the importance of lifelong learning. 

For over 75 years Risingholme Learning has 

operated under the same roof, with the same 

goals and values: to promote community spirit 

through face-to-face adult education. 

Although the centre has officially rebranded 

from `Risingholme Community Centre’ 

to ‘Risingholme Learning’ Director Lynda 

Megson, wants to ensure the message is still the 

same. 

“We’ve been running for over 75 years and 

plan to run for another 75+ years” Megson says. 

“We are continuing to provide the 

community opportunities to gain new skills, 

knowledge and experiences by providing a wide 

range of exciting courses at different locations 

across the city. Every term, we have over 800 

enrolments, so the demand for learning new 

things is a priority for many” Megson says. 

“The Risingholme homestead and park in 

Opawa is still our base and so acknowledges 

our history. We have kept our green colour 

and the ‘R’ of our name to reflect the park and 

previous branding and are using one of our 

park’s trees to better reflect our mission. Our 

own ‘tree of life’ represents the relationships 

we nurture with our communities: growth, 

learning, connections, enjoyment, and strength, 

all held within the maturity of our 75+ years 

of operation. We believe our rebrand is a fresh 

way of communicating this” Megson says. 

With term 4 fast approaching, it’s the perfect 

time to check out our new website and see the 

amazing variety of courses. 

Most of Risingholme Learning courses 

start the week of Monday 17 October 2022. 

Check individual course starting dates on the 

website.
