Santa’s toy-makers in<br />
need of a new home<br />
• By Natalie Pham<br />
VOLUNTEER elves have given<br />
thousands of wooden toys to<br />
many deserving children across<br />
Canterbury for 50 years.<br />
But this year the volunteers<br />
at the Santa Claus Workshop<br />
Charitable Trust are hoping<br />
their wish for a permanent<br />
home will come true.<br />
The hunt for a new premises<br />
began in December last year<br />
after the technology block at<br />
Shirley Intermediate School was<br />
demolished. It was home to the<br />
workshop for almost 10 years.<br />
Since then, many volunteers<br />
have been working from home<br />
to get about 1100 handmade<br />
toys ready for the festive season.<br />
From cars to wheelbarrows<br />
and wooden chairs to cots for<br />
dolls, they craft a wide range<br />
of toys using high-quality<br />
timber. While some only take<br />
a few hours to complete, more<br />
intricate toys can take up to 20<br />
hours.<br />
Trust chairman Stewart Williams<br />
said the workshop’s elves<br />
might not be able to produce<br />
the toys next year if they cannot<br />
find a new home. In the worst<br />
case, the trust could be forced to<br />
take a break from toymaking.<br />
“We really don’t have much<br />
option. We’re still actively looking<br />
with the council, but we<br />
haven’t had much luck to date,”<br />
Williams said.<br />
“It’s not practical going forward<br />
from our perspectives . . .<br />

various toys are made by more<br />
than one person, so it’s not just<br />
the matter of cutting it out with<br />
a jigsaw or something like that.”<br />
The search for a new site has<br />
been difficult – but Williams<br />
said the trust is not alone.<br />
“I know most volunteer<br />
groups are also struggling with<br />
the same issue.”<br />
In August last year, the workshop<br />
was offered a vacant site<br />
at 280 Westminster St by the<br />
city council. However, the site<br />
was vandalised beyond repair a<br />
week before the equipment and<br />
tools were moved in.<br />
Said Williams: “They trashed<br />
the place, smashed all windows,<br />
and tore out all the wiring.<br />
Basically made the building<br />
uninhabitable.<br />
“It restricted us from being<br />
able to support people that need<br />

help in our society. We just want<br />
to be able to make toys to make<br />
kids happy.”<br />
City council head of city<br />
growth and property Bruce<br />
Rendall said it has tried to help<br />
the trust find a new home.<br />
“Unfortunately, the council<br />
has few vacant buildings and<br />
those it does have are generally<br />
being held for broader site<br />
redevelopment, such as park<br />
enhancements.”<br />

New safety platforms among<br />
raft of proposed improvements<br />
• By Natalie Pham<br />
PROPOSED changes for a busy<br />
intersection in Shirley are a<br />
step closer after a heated debate<br />
among community board<br />
members.<br />
The Waitai Coastal-Burwood-<br />
Linwood Community Board had<br />
to undergo additional discussion<br />
before giving the green light to<br />
the safety improvement proposal<br />
for the Briggs/Marshland/Lake<br />
Terrace Rds intersection.<br />
It came after a number of<br />
board members expressed<br />
concern about raised safety platforms<br />
on all approaches to the<br />
intersection, which was among<br />
the proposed changes.<br />
Raised platforms are a traffic<br />
calming measure to reduce the<br />
speed of vehicles entering an<br />
intersection to 30km/h.<br />
They were first installed<br />
in Christchurch at the busy<br />
intersection of Lincoln Rd, Barrington<br />
Rd and Whiteleigh Ave,<br />
but the city council is proposing<br />
to use raised platforms at other<br />
high-risk intersections.<br />
City council senior transportation<br />
engineer Gemma Dioni said<br />
they would be a key tool in the<br />
Road to Zero strategy.<br />
“From a system perspective, we<br />
CHANGES: New traffic calming measures are proposed for the intersection of Marshland,<br />
Briggs and Lake Terrace Rds.<br />
PHOTO: STAR NEWS<br />
are trying to reduce the number<br />
of death and serious injury<br />
crashes on our network,” Dioni<br />
said.<br />
Other proposed changes<br />
include a new traffic island, kerb<br />
extensions and a new cycle lane<br />
on Lake Terrace Rd.<br />
With five out of nine board<br />
members giving the proposal the<br />
thumbs up, it is now awaiting<br />
the approval of the Waipapa<br />
Papanui-Innes-Central Community<br />
Board, as Briggs Rd is part<br />
of the Innes Ward.<br />
If both boards approve it,<br />
construction is expected to start<br />
in May next year.<br />
At the meeting on Monday,<br />
Linwood Ward city councillor<br />
Yani Johanson voted against the<br />
proposal and questioned potential<br />
damage to vehicles from the<br />
raised platforms.<br />
“Because the one at Lincoln<br />
[Addington] is pretty bad. People<br />
don’t expect them,” he said.<br />
There have been complaints<br />
from drivers on social media<br />
after the bottom of their vehicles<br />
were scraped by the new safety<br />
platforms at the Lincoln Rd<br />
intersection.<br />
Burwood Ward city councillor<br />
Kelly Barber was also not<br />
in favour of the raised safety<br />
platforms<br />
“Road to Zero is an admirable<br />
goal. It’s very easy to achieve if<br />
we drive everywhere at 20km/h.<br />
But I don’t think in our society, it<br />
is practical.<br />
“I think these are the sort of<br />
intersection changes that give<br />
council a bad name.”<br />
However, deputy chairperson<br />
Jackie Simons said the raised<br />
platforms are not going to damage<br />
vehicles if drivers slow down.<br />
“I actually go through the Lincoln<br />
Rd intersection every week.<br />
This is about drivers’ education.<br />
“They’ve been used all over the<br />
country. It’s new to Christchurch,<br />
it’s new to us. But they are<br />
a good system that does slow the<br />
traffic down.”<br />
There have been four serious<br />
injury crashes in the last 10 years<br />
at the Shirley intersection.<br />
City council staff has identified<br />
red light running, right turning<br />
traffic failing to give way, and<br />
right-angle crashes being the<br />
most significant crash problems.<br />
There is also a high collective<br />
and medium high personal risk at<br />
this intersection as it has a death<br />
and serious injury score of 1.86.<br />
Collective risk refers to the<br />
number of fatal and serious<br />
crashes per kilometre or within a<br />
set distance of an intersection.<br />
While personal risk refers to<br />
the likelihood of an individual<br />
being involved in a fatal or<br />
serious crashes per million<br />
vehicle kilometre travelled.<br />

The Cecilian Singers mark 40 years<br />
ALTHOUGH NOW in their<br />
42nd year, The Cecilian Singers<br />
are celebrating the 40th<br />
anniversary of the choir, with a<br />
special concert at The Piano on<br />
<strong>November</strong> 26.<br />
An equal voice choir for<br />
women, The Cecilian Singers<br />
was founded in 1981 by Nan Anderson.<br />
It is an auditioned choir<br />
with a varied repertoire, ranging<br />
from medieval to modern, both<br />
sacred and secular.<br />
The choir quickly established<br />
a national reputation with<br />
broadcasts on Radio New<br />
Zealand and Praise Be.<br />
It has also recorded two CDs<br />
that went to No. 1 on Concert<br />
NZ Classical Hits. Works by<br />
New Zealand composers, some<br />
especially commissioned, are<br />
frequently performed and the<br />
choir has twice travelled to<br />
Australia to showcase New<br />
Zealand music.<br />
There has always been an<br />
emphasis on supporting local<br />
musicians and encouraging<br />
outstanding talent. Featured<br />
artists have included Teddy<br />
Tahu Rhodes, Ann Lamont<br />
Lowe, Louisa Pilkington,<br />
Helen Charlton, and many<br />

instrumentalists who have gone<br />

Over the past 40 years, the<br />
Cecilians have performed at<br />
least 100 times at concerts, plus<br />
events like weddings and music<br />
festivals. Events range from<br />
poetry and music at the Old<br />
Municipal Chambers, to singing<br />
in Hebrew with the Washington<br />
Women’s Choir at the Great Hall.<br />
They have performed at many<br />
iconic Christchurch venues that<br />
were casualties of the February<br />
22, 2011 earthquake – the<br />
Provincial Council Chambers, St<br />
JOYOUS: The Celician Singers choir has been performing for more than<br />
four decades.<br />
Luke’s Church, the Music Centre<br />
Chapel and The Chapel of St<br />
John of God in Halswell.<br />
The choir has been fortunate<br />
to have worked under the baton<br />
of only four music directors in<br />
its history. Nan Anderson, who<br />
received the QSM in 2020 for<br />
services to choral music, was the<br />
director for 27 years. Anderson<br />
was followed by Jean Cumming,<br />
JIG<br />
Rosemary Allison<br />
SAWS<br />
and the<br />
current director, renowned<br />
contralto Rosemary Turnbull.<br />
As has been the case for so<br />
many organisations, the choir’s<br />
original plans for celebrating<br />
the milestone were disrupted<br />
by Covid-19, resulting in<br />
three cancellations of planned<br />
concerts.<br />
The celebration on Saturday<br />
will be the culmination of two<br />
years of planning, rehearsing,<br />
and waiting.<br />
It will offer traditional and<br />
modern classical compositions<br />
(Brahms, Britten and Orban)<br />
and a piece by NZ composer<br />
David Hamilton. The choir will<br />
be accompanied by pianist Sarah<br />
Kang, harpist Helen Webby<br />
and Emma Eden and Bernard<br />
Shapiro on horns.<br />
for the whole family<br />

For many working families here in<br />
Canterbury, childcare is one of their<br />
biggest household costs. That’s why,<br />
as part of our Government’s work<br />
to support New Zealanders with<br />
the cost of living, we are making<br />
childcare more affordable for low<br />
and middle income families.<br />
We recently announced that we’re<br />
significantly expanding childcare<br />
assistance, cutting costs for working<br />
parents and supporting more<br />
children into early education.<br />
On top of this, we are further<br />
boosting Working for Families and<br />
the Best Start payment, providing<br />
more support.<br />
These changes will kick in from<br />
1 April next year. The exact amount<br />
families will save on childcare costs<br />
will depend on the number of hours<br />
they work, the wages they are on, the<br />
number of hours of childcare per day,<br />
and the cost of their early childcare<br />
education centre.<br />
For example, a Canterbury family<br />
with two parents both working<br />
40 hours per week on $26 per hour<br />
with two children under five would<br />
not have been eligible for childcare<br />
assistance, but now will be eligible<br />
for $252 per week.<br />
Childcare assistance has been<br />
neglected for more than a decade<br />
since income thresholds were frozen<br />
by National in 2010. I’m really proud<br />
that the changes we are making will<br />
see thousands of parents given the<br />
choice to do what’s best for their<br />
family.<br />
These next steps will build on the<br />
work that we have already done to<br />
ease cost of living pressures on<br />
New Zealanders.<br />
As always, I’m here to help. Please<br />
get in touch on 0800 727 <strong>24</strong>4 or<br />
pop into my office if you need any<br />
assistance.<br />

Have a cuppa<br />
at the BrainTree<br />
BRAINTREE, the first wellness centre of<br />
its kind in New Zealand to support people<br />
with neurological conditions, is holding<br />
an open day in Papanui on Saturday.<br />
The centre at 70 Langdons Rd will be<br />
open to the public from 10am to noon.<br />
“We have had such positive feedback<br />
from everyone attending either an activity<br />
or support session since we opened in<br />
June this year, we want to give the public<br />
the chance to see just how special this<br />
facility is and why it is earning such high<br />
praise,” BrainTree general manager Phil<br />
Marshall-Lee said.<br />
“We hope people will pop in, have a<br />
look around and enjoy a coffee.”<br />
BrainTree is the new home for<br />
Dementia Canterbury, Multiple Sclerosis<br />
and Parkinson’s Canterbury, the Southern<br />
Stroke Foundation, Southern Music<br />
Therapy, Aspire Canterbury and Adult<br />
Conductive Education Trust.<br />
“The centre is already making life so<br />
much better for the many people living in<br />
the community with neurological conditions,”<br />
Marshall-Lee said.<br />
Conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis,<br />
Parkinson’s and dementia are progressive,<br />
and while some people become severely<br />
disabled, most can live with relatively<br />
moderate symptoms for longer periods<br />
of time. The wellness centre is a key<br />
component to ensuring those affected can<br />
still live a full life after a diagnosis of a<br />
neurological condition.<br />
Marshall-Lee said the centre is<br />
equipped with a gym, studio, cafe and<br />
meeting spaces for individual or group<br />
use, as well as being a place to share and<br />
OPEN: The BrainTree centre on<br />
Langdons Rd, next to Papanui<br />
Bush, includes a gym and a café.<br />
learn from real-life experiences, take part<br />
in activity support groups and access<br />
specialist well-being services. It can also<br />
host conferences for up to 80 people, with<br />
all inquiries welcome.<br />
The $8 million complex is the<br />
culmination of a huge community<br />
effort since Dementia Canterbury, and<br />
Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s<br />
Canterbury joined forces in 2017 in the<br />
Canterbury Brain Collective, a registered<br />
charity, to build a home for the two<br />
societies. The cost has been almost<br />
entirely funded by private individuals,<br />
businesses and community trusts in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
The donors, many of whom have<br />
known someone personally affected,<br />
have opened their hearts and contributed<br />
generously, all sharing the vision of<br />
creating BrainTree, Marshall-Lee said.<br />
“The team at BrainTree wishes to thank<br />
everyone for their support.”<br />

Dux of the School<br />
Janvi Puri<br />
The PETER BRYANT MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP is awarded to the Dux of<br />
the school. This is an annual award, established by the Board of Trustees,<br />
to acknowledge the outstanding contribution to Burnside High School of<br />
the late Dr Peter Bryant in his role as the chairperson of the Board.<br />
This year’s Dux recipient, Janvi Puri, attended Russley School and Burnside<br />
Primary School, where she displayed a wide range of skill, ability and<br />
intelligence across a wide range of areas.<br />
Early on at Burnside High School Janvi<br />
was identified as someone who achieved<br />
amazing results across the board with<br />
teachers describing her as a dedicated<br />
and conscientious student and someone<br />
who was “bright and friendly”.<br />
At Burnside, she was placed in a<br />
Performance Music Class and continued<br />
as a guitarist in the Junior Guitar<br />
Ensemble. Janvi is also an accomplished<br />
badminton player. She has represented<br />
Burnside High School every year and is<br />
currently the captain of the Girls Premiere<br />
A Team competing at the South Island<br />
Secondary Schools Championships for<br />
the past two years.<br />
Janvi has an Excellence Endorsement in<br />
Janvi Puri<br />
every subject she has entered in NCEA<br />
amassing 274 Excellence credits. She has<br />
been the recipient of the General Excellence Award for North Division for<br />
the past three years with numerous first placings in subjects. Her academic<br />
record this year is superior and the 41 NCEA credits she has earned so far<br />
are exclusively at Excellence level and she is entered for no less than seven<br />
Scholarship exams on top of her other SIX subjects.<br />
At our awards evening she placed First Place in Biology, English,<br />
Mathematics with Calculus and Spanish and an Excellence Awards for<br />
Physics and Chemistry.<br />
Currently Janvi has accepted a place at Otago University with a $30,000<br />
scholarship but is still entertaining options such as Auckland University<br />
where she has been offered a $20,000 Scholarship or possibly a University<br />
in New South Wales. Wherever she lands she will be studying medicine<br />
and we and we are positive that in all of her endeavours, it WILL BE with<br />
great. Congratulations!<br />
After significant debate among the Music staff,<br />
it was decided to award the cup top two joint<br />
winners.<br />
The winners of the Smokefree Cup for<br />
Leadership in Music and the Peter Rowe Cup in<br />
<strong>2022</strong> are Sho Woodhouse and Dylan Blundell.<br />
Dylan and Sho have contributed to a wide<br />
range of ensembles having won multiple awards<br />
throughout their time at Burnside. They have<br />
both been in SMP Jazz for five years, and<br />
between them they contribute to multiple<br />
ensembles and groups. Together have won<br />
many awards for Big Band, and Chamber Music.<br />
Separately they have achieved recognition in<br />
Orchestra, Percussion Ensemble, Jazz Combo<br />
and Funk Band.<br />
While one won the best combo drummer at<br />
JazzQuest, the other was awarded Best Drum<br />
Solo at JazzBandit. Congratulations!<br />
Leaders in Learning<br />
Proxime Accessit<br />
Our Proxime Accessit for <strong>2022</strong> is Carol Khor. Carol is an exceptional<br />
student who has been described as someone who always meets and<br />
regularly exceeds work quality expectations.<br />
Beginning Burnside High School as a Year 10 student she immediately<br />
signed up as a librarian and involved herself in Archery, Badminton and<br />
Surfing. Her academic talent at this point was evident as she took first<br />
place in Science, English, Mathematics, Digital Technologies and Business,<br />
Economics and Accounting as well as<br />
the General Excellence Award for South<br />
Division over the next three years!<br />
Her academic prowess is supreme and is<br />
characterised by a real sense of purpose in<br />
everything that she does. She is also the<br />
kind of person whose actions are for the<br />
benefit of others with her being further<br />
described by teachers as loyal, genuine,<br />
empathetic and fair.<br />
This year she has represented Burnside<br />
High Schools’ Premiere Badminton Team<br />
and she has been a driving force amongst<br />
the Academic Leadership Group. On top<br />
of this and an incredibly busy program of<br />
study, she has spent time on a research<br />
program with the University of Otago<br />
at Christchurch Hospital investigating<br />
advancements in cancer treatment. Her<br />
work in this area earned her the Prime<br />
Music Awards <strong>2022</strong> Sports Champions <strong>2022</strong><br />

$50,000. Her work also won her acclaim during the recent holidays where<br />

To date she has the opportunity to continue her education at the<br />
University of Canterbury, or Auckland, or Otago and has received sizeable<br />
scholarship offers from all, however she is not ruling out a place at<br />
Cambridge University. Carol has, in <strong>2022</strong>, navigated a formidable workload<br />
and still come out the other side as close to the top as you can get. At<br />
prize giving she has received awards for FIRST PLACE in Physics and<br />
FIRST PLACE in Design and Visual Communication and Excellence in<br />
Biology, English and Chemistry. We wish her well as she embarks on an<br />
exam program which includes an additional eight Scholarship subjects on<br />
top of her other subjects and looks to build on the total of <strong>24</strong>0 Excellence<br />
credits she already has.<br />
Taylah and Rosa are members of the Senior Girls ‘A’<br />
Volleyball team, who won the Mainland Champs (also<br />
known as the South Islands) early in March this year, before<br />
Covid caused the Canterbury and NZ Secondary Schools’<br />
Championships to be cancelled or postponed. They were<br />
also about to represent Burnside High School in the<br />
Canterbury and NZ Beach Volleyball Championships, when<br />
these events were cancelled in February. They both were<br />
selected for the NZ Junior Womens’ Volleyball team, who<br />
beat Australia Junior Women in a 5-match test series last<br />
term, and for Beach Volleyball, they represented Canterbury<br />
and NZ this year, attending the World Beach Volleyball<br />
Championships in Europe. They are currently coaching<br />
junior girls’ volleyball teams for Burnside High this term. L to R: Rose Vesty, Taylah Holdem<br />
Over Labour weekend, the Senior Girls ‘A’ Volleyball team won the re-scheduled Canterbury<br />
Secondary Schools’ Girls Championships. For 2023, Taylah has been awarded a Volleyball scholarship<br />
to Michigan State University, USA, and Rosa has been awarded a Beach Volleyball scholarship to<br />
Florida State University, USA. Taylah and Rosa, representing Beach Volleyball, received a “Highly<br />
Commended” award at the Zonta Secondary Schools’ Sports Awards ceremony, in the category of<br />
“Most Outstanding Female Team” for <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
Thomas Vesty<br />
Thomas’ three sports this year are Cricket, Volleyball and Beach Volleyball.<br />
He played in the Gillette Cup preliminary series with the Cricket 1st XI in<br />
the first term. For Beach Volleyball, the Canterbury and NZ Secondary<br />
Schools tournaments were cancelled. However, the Canterbury rep season<br />
featured Thomas being selected in the Canterbury U17 Boys Beach team,<br />
pairing with Flynn Holdem. This pair went on to win the NZ U17 title.<br />
For Volleyball, Tom is a member of the Senior Boys ‘A’ team, who also<br />
couldn’t play Canterbury or NZ Secondary Schools’ tournaments this year.<br />
However, he made the Canterbury U17 Boys Volleyball team, who won the<br />
NZ U17 tournament. Thomas was the MVP of this tournament.<br />
The re-scheduled Canterbury Secondary Schools’ Championships were<br />
played over Labour Weekend, and the Senior Boys ‘A’ team beat Shirley<br />
BHS in the final, to win this event for the first time ever.<br />
