Hector Matthews said pharmaciesand<br />
healthcare providers in the district could<br />
manage decreased demand for testing,<br />
which was akey tool to help New Zealand<br />
recover fromand live with covid.<br />
“Covid19 tests are free and widely<br />
available. You can get free rapid antigen<br />
tests(RATs) from anumber of local<br />
pharmacies in <strong>Ashburton</strong> and somepeople<br />
can alsoget them from kura or their<br />
workplaces. If you cannot leavehomeor<br />
there is no RAT collection site within<br />
twenty minutes from your home, you can<br />
call 0800 222 478 and alocal provider will<br />
work with you to find asuitable access or<br />
delivery option.<br />
“You can get aPCR test fromyour local<br />
healthcare provider if you need one, inline<br />
with the Ministry of Health’s testing<br />
strategy. If you are not enrolled at ageneral<br />
practice in the area, Eastfield Health is<br />
able to provide PCR testing to you.’’<br />
However, walkin testing was not<br />
available at any of the general practices,<br />
those in need must phone ahead to make an<br />

With covid in the community people with<br />
cold or flu symptomsare advised to get a<br />

1932, has been painting for over<br />
60 years. He is colourblind and<br />
cannot easily distinguish reds<br />
andgreens, which makes his<br />
vivid but realistic native<br />
bushscapes and grassland<br />
paintingsall the more<br />
impressive.<br />
At 14 he was offered free entry<br />
to the Canterbury School of Fine<br />
Arts, ‘‘which Ideclined,’’ he said.<br />
‘‘I wantedtogoforwardand find<br />
my own styleofpainting’’.<br />
Selftaught, he explored<br />
techniques around<br />
contemporary realism, usingoil<br />
as hispreferred medium.<br />
At the <strong>Ashburton</strong>Societyof<br />
Art’s veryfirst exhibition58 years<br />
ago he sold two paintings, and<br />
realising peopleloved his artas<br />

pursuehis passions.<br />

‘‘I enjoy local landscapes and<br />
then went on to paint New<br />
Zealandwide,’’ he said,<br />
describing how he wasfortunate<br />
to have aflexible working<br />
environment in his younger<br />
years which allowed him to<br />

To gather inspiration forhis<br />
workand to expand his<br />
knowledge of NewZealand<br />
scenery,heandhis wife, Sylvia,<br />
would travel up to 3000 miles<br />
(about4820kilometres)per year.<br />
‘‘There wouldn’t be abackroad<br />

End of School Year Looming<br />
Another school year is nearing the end. The<br />
senior students have finished classes and NCEA<br />
exams arecurrently taking place.<br />
As theschoolcommunityworks hardtofinishthe<br />
year strongly, we arealso busy planning for2023.<br />
Part of this planning involves Teacher Only<br />
‘ACCORD’ Days on 21 and 22 <strong>November</strong>. The<br />
ACCORD days are for schools around New<br />
Zealand toplan ahead on how toimplement the changes that have<br />
come from the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA)<br />
Review of Achievement Standards.This is alarge and complex piece of<br />
work that we hopewill strengthen New Zealand’s education system and<br />
qualifications framework forour rangatahigoingforward.<br />
Exam Time CanBeStressful<br />
As mentioned, NCEA exams have recently started. Exams can be a<br />
stressful time of year forstudents and fortheir widerhouseholds! It is at<br />
timeslike these thatstudents can develop and demonstratetheir grit.<br />
A2014 study in theUSfound that grit is abetter predictorofsuccess than<br />
intellectual talent.Gritismade up of fivecomponents:<br />
• Courage – the abilitytotriumph over fear<br />
• Conscientiousness – the desiretodoatask well<br />
• Perseverance – keeping goingthroughstruggle<br />
• Resilience – abilitytobounceback from adversity<br />
• Passion – feelingenthusiastic or excitedfor<br />
something, or about doing something<br />
In the words ofone of the authors, Angela Duckworth, ‘Grit issticking<br />
with your future, day in, day out; not just for the week, not just for the<br />
month, but for years; and working really hard tomake that future a<br />
reality’.<br />
Exams areanexcellentopportunitytogrowand develop thatgrit.<br />
NetSafePresentation<br />
Last week we were fortunate to have Paula Wistrand from NetSafe<br />
presenttoour staff andofferawebinar to our parentcommunity.NetSafe<br />
is the organisation in New Zealandthatprovides onlinesafetyadviceand<br />
reporting.Their work is aligned to the Harmful Digital Communications<br />
Act2015.<br />
Paula's presentations were highly informative and provided food for<br />
thought. Some of the statistics provided sobering reading. These include<br />
insights into our current reality such as 73% ofteenagers across the<br />
countrylearningabout sexfrompornography, and26% of young people<br />
under21years of age havingexperienced bullying or harassmentonline.<br />
Twoofthe keytakeawaysfor me were:<br />
• Separate the behaviour from the technology,and focus on education–<br />
manyofthe behaviours displayedare not neworspecific to onlineor<br />
the 21st Century. Technology does,however,pose unique challenges.<br />
Education is critical to get young people thinking about what is<br />
appropriate and why, when interacting online, so that the values we<br />
expect ofpeople in the real world are also demonstrated inonline<br />
environments.<br />
• Positive role modelling by adults is important –it is no secret that<br />
public groups and comment functions on social media platforms are<br />
oftenhotbeds of toxicity, negativity and misinformation. This content<br />
is oftengeneratedbythe adultsthat our teenagerslook up to.Young<br />
people noticeand take their cues from whatthey see.<br />
Whāia te itikahurangi, ki te tuohokoe,hemaunga teitei<br />
Pursue whatinspiresyou; show perseveranceand endurance<br />

Phoenix Chorus and National Anthem<br />
The Phoenix Chorus, with Angie Cresswell as<br />
Musical Director and Conductor, and Stephen<br />
Diedricks accompanying, again provided the<br />
Processional,aperformance, and the Recessional<br />
as they did forthe Year 13 Graduation Ceremony.<br />
The National Anthem for this evening was very<br />
ably led by Tamsin Cartney and Maria Lawn<br />
(pictured right, leftand right).<br />
Welcome by MC,DeputyPrincipal Hannibal Ikahihifo<br />
Hannibal opened the evening saying –<br />
Engā mana, Engā reo, Engā karangatanga<br />
maha<br />
Tena koutou,tena koutou,tena tatoukatoa<br />
Ngā mihi ahau ki tēnei whenua me ōna uri ka<br />
mihi au ki Kati Huirapa<br />
Etūana ahau hei māngai mō tēnei kura<br />
Kei konei ahau ki te mihi atukiakoutou<br />
Eharikoa ana ahau ki te pōwhiriiakoutou<br />
Ko te tūmanakonei, kiapai te wā ki konei<br />
He puawaitanga harakeke, he rito whakakī<br />
whārarua<br />
Nō reira, nāia tākumihi atukiakoutou<br />
Following the singing of the National Anthem, Hannibal spoke saying Malo<br />
e lelei, Kia orana koutou katoatoa, and giving a very warm welcome to<br />
students,staff, parents,caregivers,whānau and invited guests.<br />
He emphasised that, on this evening, wecome together to celebrate the<br />
commitment, perseverance,achievements and successes made by our Year<br />
11 and 12 students this year.<br />
Additionally,henoted that, being new to the school and community, he felt<br />
fortunate to be in the position to be apart ofthis celebration of rangatahi<br />
achievements.<br />
Principal’s Address<br />
Principal Ross Preece addressed the students,<br />
similarly to those at the Year 13 Graduation<br />
Ceremony aweek prior, welcoming all to the<br />
celebration of achievementsofthe Year 11 and<br />
12 students,plus providing an opportunityfor<br />
parents and caregivers to celebrate.<br />
Ross referenced the challenges for<br />
students over the past three years of COVID<br />
interruptions,online learning,illness or thatof<br />
family members, and having teachers absent<br />
forthe same reasons.<br />
Thelack of assemblies and large-scale sporting and cultural events have all<br />
impacted, lessening some ofthe enduring memories which students take<br />
forwardwith them.<br />
However, the COVID pandemic was unique in that itprovided the entire<br />
world with aunique shared experience, at the same time; suggested as<br />
unique in mankind’s historyinthat, globally,every nation has faced asimilar<br />
set of challenges. Ross suggested, inthat regard, we can perhaps view<br />
ourselves as historymakers.<br />
Ross referred to the skills and dispositions needed to be successful in the<br />
future and in employment, including flexibility and adaptability, creativity<br />
and co-operation, and the ability toaccess and work with digital tools. He<br />
noted that the experiences of the last three years will stand them in good<br />
stead, asteachers and students have had to become creative problemsolvers.<br />
The work ofteachers was acknowledged, including the flexibility they<br />
have shown in supporting students, and managing classroom and online<br />
teaching; as was the support ofBoard Members with their oversight,<br />
wisdom and governance.<br />
Students were reminded thatapplying the AshColl WayValues,and striving<br />
to AchieveQuality, ShowPride inwhatthey do,how they appear,and being<br />
Respectful to others,will always stand them in good stead fortheir futures.<br />
Students returning in 2023 were challenged to make the most of the<br />
opportunities at College and, for those leaving for employment, Ross<br />
recommended they look for anoption which extends them and brings a<br />
sense of fulfilment. He said afifty year working lifeistoo long to be doing<br />
something they don’t enjoyorwhich doesn’t bring satisfaction. However, he<br />
reminded students that they are‘in charge of their own destiny, so look to<br />
have afuturethatfeeds their soul’.<br />
Ross concluded by congratulating students about to be on stage to<br />
be acknowledged and receive awards, saying that the most pleasing<br />
developmentsare personal growth and maturity.<br />

good time’atCollege, was Green House Executive Vice-Captain, and then<br />
left for university studying law and sociology. Overseas travel followed<br />
beforereturning to work as acommercial lawyer in Christchurch.<br />
Akey message here was developing as anew lawyer, keeping at it, and<br />
getting to know (most of the time he said) whathewas doing.<br />
On the topic of leaving school, Jonathan suggested tostudents that postsecondaryschool<br />
they cantake the path well trod (out of school,totertiary,<br />
training or employment) or do something entirely different. In his view, he<br />
said, there isalso no need to rush into avocation, work or university. What<br />
he suggested was important was to make sure‘your path is yours, not just<br />
what you think mightbeexpectedofyou,orwhat everyone else mightbe<br />
doing, and it doesn’t have to be immediately career-driven’. Henoted that<br />
it’s abig call at <strong>17</strong> or 18 years old to be determining the rest of your life.<br />
Another point ofconsideration was his relocation back to <strong>Ashburton</strong>, with<br />
his family, saying he was ‘really enjoying’ being back in <strong>Ashburton</strong> but<br />
probably had never thought hewould be saying that, or living back here,<br />
until an opportunityarose.<br />
Jonathan asked‘WhatisLearning, whatdid he wish he’d heard when he<br />
wasinYear 11 and 12.<br />
Some keypoints were –<br />
• Going into the last year or two years of schooling, istoknow and<br />
understandwhy you’re here.<br />
• The pointofschool being to effectively transfer howand whatyou learn<br />
in school to other situations and to life.<br />
• Rote learning, or memorising information, without meaningfully<br />
understanding it,isn’t the goal.<br />
• Just completing typical school tasks quickly, but without meaningful<br />
understanding,isnot fun or rewarding at all and not whyyou’reatschool.<br />
• Understand that you’re there totrain your brain, to develop focus, to<br />
acquire a problem-solving mindset, to improve how you formulate,<br />
communicate and express ideas, and to surprise your teachers.<br />
• Haveaninquiring mind,and you’ll be abletoapply those skills in whatever<br />
youend up doing next,and you’ll find that wherever yougoorwhatever<br />
youdofromherewillbesomuch morestimulating and rewarding forit.<br />
• The beauty ofthis is that you don’t have to be ‘academic’ toadopt<br />
this mindset, you just have to be motivated and willing to try tosolve<br />
problems.<br />
• Don’t think of it as‘going to school’; think of school as the placewhereyou<br />
have the opportunityto‘constantly learnand create’.<br />
• Itinvolves hard work and attention sure, but constantly learning and<br />
creating can be fun, and so rewarding.<br />
BeingYoung andTaking Opportunitieswas Another Topic<br />
Jonathanreminded students they have everythingahead of them, and have<br />
so much opportunity. He referenced Sir Ian Taylor, founder of Animation<br />
Research,abig advocatefor youth development.<br />
Resonating was his mantra, based on aMāori proverb, which hebelieves<br />
giveshim aclear pathway andwhich translatesas‘the footsteps we lay down<br />
in our past, create thepaving stones on which we stand today’.<br />
Plus,thereisKamua, ka muri–‘I walk backwardsintothe futurewith my eyes<br />
fixedonmypast’.<br />
News<br />

<strong>17</strong> <strong>November</strong> <strong>2022</strong><br />
Jonathan suggested to students that the past is central toand shapes<br />
both their present and future identity. Wecarry our past into our future,<br />
with everything we do now orinthe next few years having abearing and<br />
foundation on who we are, whatwedoand whatwebecome.<br />
Therefore, the next fewyears aresignificant.<br />
Making the Mostofthe Last Years at College<br />
Jonathan encouraged Year 12 students to make the most of their last year at<br />
College next year,and forthe Year 11 students,oftheir last twoyears; urging<br />
them not to let thetime pass them by,and encouraging ‘constantlearning<br />
and creating, seizing opportunities, enjoying the opportunities available’,<br />
saying ‘get engaged and involved in anything and everything youcan’.<br />
Students were reminded they will all be leaders of the school from next<br />
year on, and that their next year will lay the paving stones for standing on<br />
beyond that. Jonathan said that 2023Year 12 and 13 students can set the<br />
tone and culture of<strong>Ashburton</strong> College, and younger students look up and<br />
aspiretobelike senior students.Students mostly remember the names and<br />
faces of the students older than themselves, remembering how seniors<br />
behave,lead and interact with students,peers and staff.Noted wasthatthis<br />
is areal privilege,but also areal responsibilityand with work to be done.<br />
Avalid point was the many adults who would love to go back to their last<br />
few years of school, because it’s atime ofhope, opportunity, creation, fun<br />
and freedom –atime never able to be repeated, which is sobering and<br />
thought-provoking.<br />
Put tostudents was the fact that they will never have another Year 12 or<br />
another Year 13, and the importance ofsetting their paving stones, and<br />
making the time memorable.<br />
APlug for<strong>Ashburton</strong>!<br />
Acknowledged was the fact that many students can’t wait to get out of<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>ordon’t see themselves staying afterleaving school,the same –<br />
Jonathan said –ashewas at thatage.<br />
However, he said, maybe this has changed now –because it should have,<br />
as <strong>Ashburton</strong>and its business environmenthas changed,bringing so many<br />
moreopportunities to do so much in <strong>Ashburton</strong>.<br />
Jonathan never anticipatedbeing back in <strong>Ashburton</strong>but nowthatheis, he<br />
is passionate about <strong>Ashburton</strong>and advised students they could be too. He<br />
said it makes him question why, when finishing study, he didn’t consider<br />
returning.<br />
Theopportunities in <strong>Ashburton</strong>are many, whether IT,banking and finance,<br />
planning, project management, marketing and design, architecture,<br />
engineering,accounting,machineryand systems designand manufacture,<br />
hydrology, hairdressing, dairy farm management, livestock trading, sales<br />
and insurance, financial advice, large animal veterinary, farming advisory,<br />
agronomy and international commodity trading, and more –<strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
doesitall now, and in manysectors has leaders in their fieldnationallyand<br />
internationally and some truly world-class operations.<br />
Thereare so manyopportunities to carve out really successful and lucrative<br />
careers in and around <strong>Ashburton</strong>.<br />
Sage advice was, byall means; go further afield, ‘get out of dodge for a<br />
bit’, see the world, always continuing to think explore and learn, but don’t<br />
discount <strong>Ashburton</strong>. Keep it in mind as apotential destination for all your<br />
good ideas,inspirations,aspirations and ambitions.Come back.<br />
But first,heurged,‘make your final years at <strong>Ashburton</strong>College count, give it<br />
allyou can, work hard, enjoylearning,embracethe leadership opportunities<br />
you’ll get and enjoythe year’.<br />
Jonathan concluded with congratulations to all on their achievements,and<br />
with good wishes to all forthe years ahead.<br />

Feedback sought on highway speeds<br />
Waka Kotahi - NZTA is proposing<br />
to lower the speed limit through<br />
Rakaia township to 50km/h and<br />
Mid Canterbury residents are being<br />
urged tohave their say on that and<br />
other changes in their Interim State<br />
Highway Speed ManagementPlan.<br />
The national transport authority wantsto<br />
lowerthe speedlimit on State Highway1<br />
through Rakaia from 70km/h to 50km/h;<br />
and lowerthe speedlimit north of Rakaia<br />
and over the river and rail bridges from<br />
100km/h to 80km/h or 60km/h.<br />
The other proposed changes areonState<br />
Highway 77.<br />
The authority is proposing a 30km/h<br />
variable limit past <strong>Ashburton</strong> Borough<br />
School (related to school hours), and a<br />
30km/h variable limit past Our Lady of the<br />
Snows primary school and Mt Hutt College<br />
in Methven. It’s also proposed to lower the<br />
speed limit from Methven township to the<br />
newOpukeThermalHotPools to80km/h.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Mayor Neil Brown urged Mid<br />
Canterbury residents to have their say<br />
during Waka Kotahi’sconsultation, which<br />
willrun forfour weeks until 12 December.<br />
“Thespeed limit through Rakaia has long<br />
been aconcern for our local road safety<br />
committee and for Rakaia locals who<br />
struggle to get across the highway safely<br />
at times.<br />
“Thenew hotpools in Methven havealso<br />
createdalot of vehicle andfoottraffic,and<br />
locals there have been lobbying for the<br />
limit on thatstretch of road to be lowered<br />
from 100km/h.”<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong>’s iconic clock tower will<br />
begin glowing orange next week<br />
for the duration of Zonta’s 16-day<br />
international campaign against<br />
domestic violence.<br />
Orangeisthe signaturecolour of the Zonta<br />
Says No campaign, which will run from<br />
Friday 25 <strong>November</strong> until Saturday 10<br />
December.<br />
The campaign is recognised by all 66<br />
countries where there are Zonta Clubs,<br />
including 28 ClubsinNew Zealand and the<br />
local ZontaClub of <strong>Ashburton</strong>.<br />
Local club spokesperson Alison Grant<br />
said the campaign was about increasing<br />
awareness of domestic violence, as only<br />
25 per cent of caseswerereported.<br />
“Our mission in Zonta istogive women<br />
and girls equal rights andopportunities, to<br />
eliminate violenceandto improvethelives<br />
and women and girls worldwide.”<br />
Council ChiefExecutiveHamish Riach said<br />
Council supported the campaign message<br />
and lighting up the clock towerorangeat<br />
night would help raise awareness within<br />
the <strong>Ashburton</strong>community.<br />
“Family violence happens at all levels<br />
of society, and affects all members ofa<br />
family, soitisimportant people know<br />
wheretheycan access help and support.”<br />
Council staffchangethe colour of the LED<br />
strip lighting byaccessing anelectronic<br />
controller inthe base of the clock tower.<br />
The lights are usually one colour, though<br />
there isanoption for amulti-coloured<br />
display.<br />
The lights are currently glowing purple<br />
to raise awareness for pancreatic cancer<br />

After the ZontaSays No campaign finishes<br />
on 10 December, the multi-colour mode<br />
will be chosen to run through the festive<br />

Blindcaps<br />
withdraw<br />
from<br />
World Cup<br />
Donna McCaskill<br />
The NewZealand Blindcaps<br />
have withdrawn from attending<br />
the Blind Cricket World Cup in<br />
India.<br />
New Zealand Blind Cricket<br />
Association board chairwoman<br />
and playerDonna McCaskill,<br />
of <strong>Ashburton</strong>, said it was oneof<br />
the hardest decisions the board<br />
had to makebut due to alack of<br />
sponsorship and other factors<br />
there was no other option.<br />
She said the association had<br />
faced with some difficulttimes<br />
recently withthree players<br />
havingtowithdrawdueto<br />
healthreasons and it was not<br />
realistic to replace three<br />
partially sighted key players.<br />
They had also recently lost B1<br />
player Parveen Shankar who<br />
passed away unexpectedly,<br />
which was ‘‘another loss that<br />
has mentally and emotionally<br />
effected players’’, she said,<br />
notifying Facebook followers.<br />
“Taking the players on a<br />
demanding tour of this levelwheretheywouldbetravelling<br />
to multiple citiesacross India <br />
often immediately after playing<br />
international matches, would<br />
be to much to add to many<br />
players who arealready<br />
emotionallydrained.<br />
‘‘We would not be presenting<br />
our strongest or most<br />
competitiveteam,’’ she said.<br />
McCaskill had played<br />
alongside Shankar since his<br />
selectionbackin2006. “We<br />
need time to healand then<br />
move ourfocus to next year’s<br />
WorldBlind Games.”<br />
The Board will meet in the<br />
coming weekstodiscuss a<br />
training plan to getthe players<br />
back on track.

Biddy Cowan: overcoming the<br />
odds to build new artistic career<br />
Geraldine identity, Biddy Cowan, has published<br />
asecond illustrated book with help from her<br />
mother, Jenny Waterson.<br />
TheTrueStory of Biddys Cat Sam is based<br />
on an incident where Biddys large Red-pointed<br />
Cymric took on aneighbourhood bully to<br />
protect hispatch for himself andtheother cats<br />
associated with their house. Illustrations and<br />
photos are mainly by Biddy; Jenny wrotethe<br />
rhymingtext.<br />
The book is aimed at the four-to-six-yearold<br />
age range; though, as Jenny says, it could<br />
also appeal to any catlover. Biddy has already<br />
received fan mail from Waima Schoolstudents<br />
in Northland, who are delightedwith her new<br />
book. The students so enjoyed Biddys debut<br />
publication, TheStory ofBeeHappy,thatthey<br />
sent drawings of bees to her in response.<br />
Their teacher writes, The class loved The<br />
True StoryofBiddys Cat Sam so much, they<br />
all wantedtotellmeabout their cats ...Atthe<br />
end ofthe book are two pages inviting the<br />
reader to colour in some cats, before drawing<br />
apictureoftheirown. Biddy is lookingforward<br />
to seeing her readers cat drawings<br />
Jenny explains that while Biddy was born<br />
withtoxoplasmosis, she has alwaysenjoyed a<br />
full and active life. Then, three years ago, at<br />
age 40, Biddy had abrain aneurysm with a<br />
subsequent stroke, which meant the end of<br />
many of the activities she had previously<br />
enjoyed. However, shehas recentlybegun work<br />
with anew physiotherapist, including work in<br />
the gym. Jenny says, She is still in awheelchair,<br />
working towards walking again.<br />
As devastating as the aneurysmwas, it has<br />
given Biddy the opportunity to investigate<br />
talents she had previously ignored, including<br />
rediscovering her artisticability. As well as the<br />
two books, Biddy has produced arange of<br />
hand-drawn greeting cards (GNews 24.06.21)<br />
andaperpetual birthday calendar.<br />
Jennysays thatshe is unsure whether there<br />
will be asequel to the cat story, but they<br />
aregathering photographs anddrawings just<br />
in case.<br />
TheTrueStory of Biddys Cat Sam isavailable<br />
at Geraldine Page and Post oratCountry<br />

GHS senior school likened towhitewater rafting<br />
In summing up their senior school<br />
experience, GeraldineHighSchool (GHS)<br />
head students William Wilson and<br />
Amelia McKeown compared it to whitewater<br />
rafting. Both students alluded to the<br />
difficultiesimposedbylockdown, with the<br />
impactonboththeiracademic experience<br />
as well as the social lifeofthe year.<br />
Principal Simon Coleman echoed the<br />
sentiments, saying they had only been<br />
abletoconductone student-led assembly<br />
during the whole year. Relying on the<br />
example of Sir EdmundHilary, he offered<br />
some reflections on the attitudes and<br />
IN BRIEF<br />
values neededtosucceed in ones chosen<br />
pathway.<br />
The guest speaker, rugby refereeing<br />
great Colin Hawke MNZM, offered<br />
reflections on his life. He remembers<br />
having to take his own advice -trust<br />
your judgment -when he gavethe game<br />
to Walesopponents at Cardiff Arms Park.<br />
He was notpopular withthe home crowd<br />

the Geraldine Festival. The 11th hour<br />
of the 11th day of the 11th monthof1918<br />
was the moment that hostilities<br />
ceased in Europe. Four yearsofcarnage<br />
were over.<br />
The hubbub of the festival<br />
notwithstanding, 20orsomembers<br />
and friends of the RSA gathered at<br />
the rooms foraservice of remembrance<br />
and to lay awreath atthe memorial<br />
stone. At the same time, from the<br />
centre stage, festival emcee OJ also<br />
honoured the fallen, pausing to wonder<br />

Tools for Teens helps students<br />
discover power of the mind<br />
Toolsfor Teenscreator, Geraldine-based<br />
life coachJillGriffin deliversher mindset<br />
toolkit to students in secondary schools<br />
nationwide. Asignificant part of herlife<br />
coaching work, the programme gives<br />
youngpeopletoolsthey can use throughout<br />
their entire lives, she says.<br />
Its forall students regardlessoftheir<br />
abilities, socio-economic background,<br />
and cohort, says Jill. The jam-packed<br />
facilitatedsessions help students learn<br />
the power of their minds and thoughts.<br />
Decades of professionalacting, drama<br />
and language teaching sit behind Jills<br />
life coaching and are bedded into Tools<br />
for Teensrationale and practice.Working<br />
in schools several years ago, she saw the<br />
need for improvement in how student<br />
wellbeingisaddressed,including relating<br />
to suicide.<br />
The tools, developedafter she trained<br />
as alifecoach,have two standalone strands.<br />
The main one, for Year 11 to Year 13<br />
students, is a journey into themselves,<br />
teaching students about their emotions,<br />
their mind-body connection, agrowth<br />
mindset versus a victim mindset,<br />
mindfulness,and stress relief. Its ahalfhour<br />
talk for all classes, followed by a<br />
90-minute workshop.<br />
That workshop, she says, is adeep<br />
dive. Its for them to discover the<br />
connections for themselves; to start<br />
exploring fight, flight, and freeze -the<br />
limbic brainarea-andhow our thoughts<br />
can change the way we feel, and how<br />
emotions are expressed through our body.<br />
Jill says, The last part of the workshop<br />
is asession onidentifying strengths,<br />
values, beliefs, and goal-setting.<br />
An additional oroptional course,<br />
the other strand of Tools for Teens, is a<br />
two-hour focus onconnection and<br />
communication for Year 9to Year 13<br />
students. Jill says,It uses drama games<br />
and techniques, atalk for all classes, and<br />
then workshops. Its team-building, and<br />
its fun.<br />
What sets Tools for Teensapart from<br />
other tools is that its immersive. It uses<br />
drama; its involved and active, and its<br />
neuroscience-informed. As for her life<br />
coaching, which she practises nationally<br />
and internationally, in person andonline,<br />
Jillsays, Its not aboutgivingadvice. Its<br />
about walking alongside people,helping<br />
them develop.<br />
Tools for Teens is fully facilitated in<br />
schools by Jill. Up to three sessions can<br />
be run during aschool day. Upto50<br />
students can attend each workshop.<br />

EXCITING PROSPECTS FOR THE GERALDINE<br />
SCULPTURE TRAIL Earlyin<strong>November</strong>,visitors from<br />
Pukeiti were in town to walk through the<br />
Rhododendron Dell and tosee the Geraldine<br />
Sculpture Trail project first-hand.<br />
Andrew Brooker and Lynn Bublitz from the Pukeiti<br />
Rhododendron Trust,aninternationally recognised<br />

of Mt Taranaki, were introduced to Timaru District<br />
Council Parksand RecreationManager Bill Steans,<br />
local rhododendron nurseryman KenJordan, local<br />
volunteerDaveAtwood,and myself as the sculpture<br />
trail project coordinator.<br />
Andrew leads aprojectwhere the conservation<br />
and preservation of precious rhododendrons are<br />
paramount. Climate change isaffecting the longterm<br />
environment wherethe plants grow in Taranaki.<br />
He is seeking to match settings with plants from<br />
their collection to maintain their longevity and<br />
protectthe gene poolbydistributing the collections<br />
throughout New Zealand.<br />
Havingalready established a40-plant collection<br />
in the Gore Botanical Gardens, South Canterbury<br />
is an area where Andrew feelsthese plants willthrive.<br />
Thisrelationship between Pukeiti andthe Timaru<br />
DistrictCouncil will hopefully see acollection coming<br />
to Geraldineinthe not-too-distant future.However,<br />
manydiscussions arestill to be had, plus the inevitable<br />
documentation, but Iwill keep youinformed of our<br />
progress in bringing this collection to Geraldine.<br />

Ethans love of photography<br />
leads tofull-time career<br />
From ayoung age, EthanHewson knew<br />
that photography would play apart in<br />
his future. He has now realised that dream.<br />
Ethan Hewson Photography is in the<br />
business of capturing special moments<br />
forpeople,locally andall overNew Zealand.<br />
Growing up in Mayfield and then<br />
moving to Geraldine in 2014, where he<br />
was homeschooled, Ethan alwayshad an<br />
eye for agreat shot. He bought his first<br />
camera in2011 and has been taking<br />
pictures ever since. Learning through<br />
animationand filmmaking when he was<br />
younger,heeventually transitioned back<br />
to still photography and now specialises<br />
in weddings and portrait sessions.<br />
Ethan says, The best part of wedding<br />
photography is capturing the moments<br />
we all hold to be precious. He has<br />
photographed numerous weddings over<br />
the last season and is now looking to fill<br />
his diary for the 2023-2024 season with<br />
wedding, engagement and portrait shoots.<br />
I love to capture the emotion,the thought,<br />

Geraldine Trotting Clubcommittee member<br />
David Hay encourages the community<br />
to support therace meeting on Saturday,<br />
26 <strong>November</strong>, at Ōrari. He says, Geraldine<br />
is one of the top grass courses and is<br />
highly regarded. Nevertheless, the<br />
New Zealand Racing Board is threatening<br />
it with closure.<br />
David says the committee operates<br />
independently of government, so little<br />
can be gained in petitioning political<br />
figures. He says that rationalising the<br />
countrys courses is inevitable but believes<br />
thereisagoodcase for retaining Geraldine.<br />
In the meantime, he hopes that agood<br />
crowd will turn out to support this meeting,<br />
the most important ofthe two annual<br />
meetings held at Geraldine. He says that<br />
traditionally they have enjoyed good<br />
community support with an attendance<br />
of between 2,000-3,000 people. In past<br />
yearsasmall entrance fee has beencharged.<br />
To encourage families, entry is now free.<br />
Prize money of $150,000 is at stake,<br />
including the $25,000 Geraldine Cup.<br />
Punters will enjoy anine-raceprogramme.<br />

of <strong>Ashburton</strong>s own, as he lived there for<br />
70 yearsbefore retiring to Geraldine.<br />
Speaking on behalf ofher husband,<br />
Sylvia Lowen-Smith thanked people for<br />
attending andthe gallery for putting on<br />
the exhibition. She said that the show<br />
had taken two and ahalfyears to organise<br />
because of her husbands ill health.<br />
The titleofthe exhibition is The Wind<br />
of the Homeland.The artist paints in oils<br />
and describes himself as atraditional<br />
realist. The 27canvases, which range<br />

Makawe<br />
Makawe -hair<br />
Huruhuru -hair, feather, undergrowth<br />
A few weeks back, we learned that the kupu for head<br />
is māhunga. This week, we focus on the kupu for hair,<br />
makawe. Aswith the other words we are learning,<br />
makawe means hair in both singular and plural form;<br />
it can refer to asingle hair orahead full of the stuff.<br />
There are several other words used for hair intereo<br />
Māori; huruhuru isone of them.Mostly, thesedifferences<br />
are iwi or preference based.<br />
In te Ao Māori, the head isconsidered an extremely<br />
tapu (sacred) part of the body, including the hair.<br />
In traditional society, the state and style of apersons<br />
makawe communicated alot about their status and<br />
social ranking. Some people believed that the hair was<br />
connected tothe mana (power) aperson possessed.<br />
Makawecouldalsoconveymessages about aperson s<br />
physical, emotional, spiritual and mental state. Frazzled<br />
hair was asign ofaperson being inastate of tapu,<br />
and unkempt hair suggested astate ofmourning.<br />
It was not uncommon for Māori to keep their hair<br />
unkempt while the body of their loved one was above<br />
ground. Some of these practices continue to live onfor<br />
Māori today. Whenmy grandmother passed away,my<br />
uncle cut his waist-length dreads off and laid them<br />
with her; asign of his state ofmourning.<br />
Its interesting to consider what apersons makawe<br />
conveys abouttheir stateofbeingtoday and thelearned<br />
judgements we make about apersons hair based on<br />
our own social groups. JORDYN OSBORNE<br />

Making child care<br />
affordable for families<br />
Formanyworking families<br />
here in <strong>Ashburton</strong>, child<br />
care is abighouseholdcost,<br />
which is whywe’re making<br />
child caremoreaffordable<br />
forlow and middle income<br />
families.<br />
Werecently announced<br />
that our governmentis<br />
significantly expanding<br />
child careassistance,<br />
cutting costs forworking<br />
parentsand supporting<br />
more children into early<br />
education.<br />
Ontop of this, we’re<br />
further boosting Working<br />
forFamilies and the Best<br />
Start payment, providing<br />
more supporttohelpease<br />
thepressure.<br />
Assomeone whohas seen<br />
firsthand the positive<br />
impact good early<br />
childhood education can<br />
make,thisisapolicy that is<br />
dear to myheart andIam so<br />
proud of.<br />
This expansion willsee 54<br />
per cent of all NewZealand<br />
families with children now<br />
being eligible for<br />
subsidisedchild care<br />
assistance and willkick in<br />
fromApril1next year.<br />
Theexact amount<br />
families will save on child<br />
care costs will depend on<br />
the number of hoursthey<br />
work, thewages they areon,<br />
the number of hoursofchild<br />
care perday,and thecost of<br />
theirearly child care<br />
education centre.<br />
Forexample, aMid<br />
Canterbury family with two<br />
parentsboth working 40<br />
hours per week on $26 per<br />
hour with twochildren<br />
under five whowillnot have<br />
been eligible for child care<br />
assistance, nowwill be<br />
eligible for $252 perweek.<br />
Child care assistancehas<br />
been neglected for more<br />
than adecade, since income<br />
thresholds werefrozenby<br />
National in 2010.<br />
I’m really proud that the<br />
changes we’re making will<br />
see thousands of parents<br />
given back the choice to do<br />
what’sbest for their family–<br />
Iknow what adifference<br />
this willmake.<br />
By reducing financial<br />
barriersand better<br />
supporting parentswho<br />
want to enter workor<br />
further training, we’re also<br />
helpingfilllabour<br />
shortages, whichisgood<br />
news for <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
families,local businesses<br />
andour economy.<br />
These next steps buildon<br />
theworkthatour<br />
government hasalready<br />
done to ease costofliving<br />
pressuresonNew<br />
Zealanders in theface of<br />
global inflation, including<br />
ourcostof living package,<br />
which includes the fuel tax<br />
cutand more.<br />
We’re also taking action<br />
on supermarkets to make<br />
sure Kiwis are paying afair<br />
price at thecheckout,<br />
becausewe’refed up with<br />
supermarkets earning $1<br />

At Rural Women, we like to<br />

develop their skills through roles<br />
within branches and provincials<br />

galore, two miniature ponies,<br />
two lambs, achicken and acat,<br />
as well as home industries<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> Musical Club<br />
The Club was presented with "An Afternoon of Song" on<br />
Sunday 6th <strong>November</strong>. The musicians were Alex Doig<br />
(baritone) and Emma Gilkison (soprano), accompanied by<br />
pianist Jeremy Woodside.<br />
Alex commented onthe comparatively small number of<br />
songs for baritone soloists. Many of the lyrics came from<br />
English poets, some of whom wrote the accompanying<br />
music. The subject matters ofthe songs were sea, land and<br />
military endeavour; all of which told astory. Alex’s selection<br />
included; “The Vagabond, Bright is the ring of words”<br />
(Vaughan Williams), “Fair Robin ILove” (Mechem), “Sea<br />
Fever, “The Bells of San Marie”, “Vagabond” (all from<br />
Masefield poems), “Spring” (Argento), “A Shropshire Lad”<br />
(Butterworth), “TheOld Superb” (Stanford), “Fearnomorethe<br />
heato'the sun”(Quilter), “SilentNoon” (Williams), and “Three<br />
Saltwater Ballads” (Keel).<br />
Emma, inastrong soprano voice, sang from musical<br />
theatre; “Spring” (Argento), “Somewhere over the Rainbow”<br />
(Arlen), “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again” (Lloyd<br />
Webber) and finishing with “Irish Blessing” (Chilcott).<br />
The piano accompaniment was demanding and played<br />
by Jeremy withsympathy and emphasis when required. The<br />
programme was thought provoking and well received. The<br />
musicians were generous in sharing their experiences with<br />
club membersafter the finish of the recital.Agreat afternoon<br />
