CHRIST’S College’s senior 

A basketball team has sealed 

its place in school history, 

becoming the first College 

team to win the New Zealand 

Secondary Schools National 

AA Championships. 

Guided by Basketball New 

Zealand coach of the year 

Ben Sheat, College proved too 

strong for Rosmini College in 

the final in Palmerston North, 

powering to an emphatic 

87–52 win. 

In superb play, Tom Harrison 

delivered a game-high 

38 points, followed by most 

valuable player Hunter Adam 

with 24 and College head of 

sport Jordan Braithwaite with 

17 points. 

In an outstanding all-round 

display, the total team effort 

was captured by Liam Jack, 

who recorded a team-high 14 

rebounds.

plan to 

lower 

speed limits 

COMMUNITY feedback is 

being sought on a plan to lower 

speed limits across more than 

500km of the roading network in 

Christchurch. 

The Road to Zero Strategy 

aims to have safe speed limits 

around all schools by the end 

of 2027, with an interim target 

of 40 per cent of schools by June 

2024. 

City council

operations 

manager Stephen 

Wright said busier 

roads, such as 

Papanui and 

Riccarton Rds, 

may have variable Stephen 

30km/h speed Wright 

limits that will operate during 

school start and finish times 

only. 

“We’re prioritising streets, 

neighbourhoods and settlements 

around schools to make it safer 

for whānau to get to and from 

school,” he said. 

“Waka Kotahi NZ Transport 

Agency has changed the way speed 

limits are set which encourages 

us to implement an area-wide 

approach for consistency, 

especially around schools, using 

permanent 30km/h speed limits,” 

he said. 

A map showing the planned 

speed limit reductions and how to 

give feedback can be found on the 

city council website.

Teen dancers fundraising for US competition 

• By Darryl Baser 

LIFE-LONG dancing friends are 

hoping to take on the world in 

the United States. 

Three dancers from Avonhead 

and Russley have joined forces 

to raise funds for their trip of a 

lifetime, further cementing their 

life-long friendship, as they aim 

to raise about $10,000 each. 

The trio could join 14 fellow 

Canterbury-based dancers 

hoping to head to a prestigious 

Highland Dancing competition 

in the US early next year. 

Cantabrian dancers make up 

more than half of the 33 Kiwis 

aiming to fly the flag at the 

Virginia International Tattoo in 

April 2023. 

Addison Jones, 16, Estelle 

Buchanan, 15, and Siara Clarke, 

15, have been dancing together 

since they were three or four 

years of age, and all agree it is an 

amazing opportunity. 

“The most I’ve danced in front 

of is a couple of hundred [people] 

at the most,” Addison said. 

Estelle said the scale of the 

competition is a little daunting, 

“especially as it’s in a bigger 

country, there’s going to be a 

big amount of people coming to 

watch.” 

Meanwhile, Siara is looking 

forward to the multicultural 

aspect of the tattoo, “where it’s a 

world event, it’s going to be cool 

seeing different people speaking 

different languages,” she said. 

FRIENDS: Highland dancers Addison Jones, Estelle Buchanan and Siara Clarke warm up for the Virginia International 

Tattoo in April. 

The New Zealand dancers 

have been selected by the 

New Zealand Academy of 

Highland Dancing, but each 

dancer needs to raise between 

$7500 and $10,000 to cover their 

expenses, so along with their 

parents, the Christchurch trio 

have decided to band together 

in a number of fundraising 

activities. 

Estelle’s mother Sarah Buchanan 

says the three families 

have launched a Give-A-Little 

page (https://givealittle.co.nz/ 

cause/highland-flinging-ourway-to-the-virginia-tattoo), 

they’ve also organised a quiz 

night at The Elmwood on 

November 16, and are looking 

at hosting a car wash in mid- 

January 2023. 

The trio are students of 

dance teacher Julie Hawke, 

often training at Christchurch’s 

Showbiz Canterbury Studio. 

The trio describe being 

invited to join the New Zealand 

Highland Dance Company to 

perform at the Virginia Tattoo 

in the US in April 2023, as a 

huge honour, and they’re all 

hoping members of the public 

could ‘highland’ fling them some 

money to help them on their 

way.

Jack, a College 1st XV lock, 

has just been named in the 

2022 New Zealand Rugby 

Schools team for the New 

Zealand under 18 quadrangular 

tournament in Hamilton 

this week. 

A first-time finalist, College 

quickly took the early lead 

to be 22–12 at quarter-time, 

before racing to 40–20 at 

half-time. In a brilliant performance, 

Hunter and Tom 

Hunter Adam 

combined for College’s first 

11 points in the third-quarter 

before Braithwaite made a pair 

of baskets. 

College continued to 

dominate the court, pulling 

away to claim the Doug 

Harford Memorial Trophy 

after an unbeaten run at the 

tournament. To top off a 

remarkable effort, Hunter, 

Tom, and Jordan were all 

named in the AA Boys 

Tournament Team. 

10-year plan for 

short and 

long-term changes 

• From page 1 

The current consultation, which opened 

today, includes planned changes for the 

next two to three years. However, Wright 

said a 10-year plan is being developed for 

short and long-term speed changes. 

“We’ve heard community concerns 

about vehicles travelling at excessive 

speeds through local streets and, to address 

these, we’ve been introducing lower 

speed limits through the Slow Speed 

Neighbourhood Programme,” Wright 

said. 

“We installed five Slow Speed 

Neighbourhoods in the last year, and there 

is funding for five more this year and five 

in the following year.”

All of us, myself included, are 

constantly reminded by both written 

and spoken rhetoric of the property 

market’s nuances. It’s going up. 

It’s going down. It’s reached the 

bottom. It’s near the top. It’s gone 

from FOMO ( fear of missing out) to 

FOOP ( fear of overpaying)… and for 

ordinary Kiwis doing their best to 

buy well or even sell with an element 

of satisfaction, it can feel like a 

minefield. 

So, what can I tell you that provides some 

insight into not only our current local market 

but the dynamics that govern any market? 

Market cycles basically consist of four main 

phases. 

Before we look at them, it’s useful to 

acknowledge that this concept has been in 

existence for nearly 100 years and reflects the 

efforts analysts have made trying to assist and 

predict market forces. 

See if you recognize them – or perhaps your 

own personal property market position. 

Boom 

You’ll know this one. It’s said by some 

authorities to be the first stage of the property 

cycle. As the word suggests, the price of 

property rises, asking prices are exceeded, 

auction is the favorite method of selling and 

demand is greater than supply. It’s exciting, 

both fast and furious, and it favors sellers. 

It’s hard on buyers, particularly first-home 

buyers, and can result in scenarios where 

what you paid to buy could be considered 

too much when you go on to sell, something I 

have witnessed recently. If you haven’t already 

guessed, we have just had such a period (the 

last 18 months, coming to a halt around April 

2022) and we haven’t been alone: it’s been 

an international occurrence. Real estate 

consultants and property owners who fared 

well during this period will look back on it as 

one of the most extraordinary of real estate 

periods. 

What follows this stage is referred to by a 

number of names including: 

Peak or Slowdown 

Often you have an affordability issue related 

to the preceding boom, the consequences of 

an oversupply of property and the sense that 

a change is on its way. This is evidenced by 

longer days on the market, altered auction 

clearance rates and buyers proceeding with 

caution rather than abandon. 

Trough or Slump 

Next, it’s the turn of the ‘Trough’ or ‘Slump’, as 

some have called it. This is just what it feels 

like; there’s a greater swing towards the needs 

of buyers rather than sellers. Prices are also 

adjusted, usually, but not always, down and 

confidence ebbs, though not necessarily for 

buyers. They can actually feel empowered by 

the changes, but there’s a warning required 

here. 

Let’s skip to Tony Alexander, a well-known, 

now independent, economist who referenced 

what’s happening for first-home buyers in a 

recent article. 

“Things may be changing very quickly 

amongst first home buyers and if you have a 

misplaced focus on getting your first housing 

asset at the bottom of the price cycle rather 

than your first owned home then the clock is 

ticking against you.” 

“The housing cycle is moving towards a 

preparatory phase for turning back upwards.” 

Recovery 

And this moves us towards the fourth stage of 

the property cycle, ‘Recovery’. 

With spring here, we are noticing more 

confidence, busy auction rooms, better 

clearance rates, higher open home 

attendances. 

Who knows where it will go. If you’re a buyer, 

you’ll have a different agenda to sellers, if 

you’re a realtor you’ll have a foot in a number 

of camps, and if you’re an old head like me 

you’ll just keep moving forward. 

Every market has its winners; I happen to think 

it’s currently more of a balanced market. 

It’s not the dizzy 2021 extravaganza, but there 

are great properties available, owners are 

looking at things with a more realistic lens, 

and 29 years of experience have taught me it’s 

about getting the property you want. 

Don’t wait to confirm the recovery phase is on 

its way. Now is the time to rethink your plan. 

Do something and make the most of the 

property cycle you find yourself in.
