Packed with festive spirit<br />
• By Natalie Pham<br />
PUPILS AT a primary school<br />
in Richmond have been given<br />
an early Christmas surprise.<br />
A new mud kitchen and 30<br />
backpacks filled with essential<br />
school supplies have been<br />
delivered to Pareawa Banks<br />
Avenue School after being the<br />
lucky winner of a Christmas<br />
giveaway.<br />
Principal Toni Burnside said<br />
it was nice for some pupils to<br />
get a bit extra at this time of<br />
year.<br />
“We are proud of our school<br />
and our tamariki. And it’s<br />
nice to have that positive community<br />
recognition. We know<br />
that when our tamariki get<br />
those backpacks, they will be so<br />
excited,” she said.<br />
The giveaway, which was<br />
open to all schools across New<br />
Zealand, received more than<br />
150 entries.<br />
Two pupils from each class<br />
who represent the school’s values<br />
will be selected to receive<br />
the backpacks.<br />
Burnside said there will also<br />
be a small, added criteria.<br />
“We know some of the<br />
children in those classes need<br />
a wee bit ‘pick me up’. Things<br />
are tough at the moment for<br />
families and the community,<br />
so teachers will be looking<br />
through that lens as well.”<br />
The new mud kitchen is now<br />
ready to go, but has not yet<br />
been installed in the school<br />
playground.<br />
Said Burnside: “To get that<br />
as part of the prize, it’s amazing.<br />
Our juniors love playing<br />
with water and pretending to<br />

This year marked the fifth<br />
annual Christmas giveaway by<br />
Furnitoyz – a Hornby-based<br />
company that makes children’s<br />
toys and furniture by hand.<br />
Owner Michelle Dickie said<br />
the school giveaway was a<br />
chance to give back to the community.<br />
Since opening the business,<br />
the former pre-school teacher<br />
and her husband Euan have<br />
been trying to have a giveaway<br />
every year.<br />
“Last year we were watching<br />
the news . . . and people were<br />
struggling to get schoolbags<br />
and all the bits and bobs that<br />
go along with it to get kids into<br />
school,” she said.<br />
“So we thought this year, we<br />
will see if we can do roughly a<br />
classroom-size worth of schoolbags.”<br />
Last year, the business<br />
donated three pallets of foods<br />
and hygiene products to<br />
Christchurch, Auckland and<br />
Wellington city missions.<br />
Resource<br />
consent<br />
resumes for<br />
contentious<br />
development<br />
• By Natalie Pham<br />
A RESOURCE consent<br />
application for a controversial<br />
medium-density housing<br />
development near the beach has<br />
resumed.<br />
<strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> reported two<br />
weeks ago the planned Williams<br />
Corporation units on Marine Pde<br />
– opposite the North Beach Surf<br />
Lifesaving Club and the North<br />
New Brighton Community Centre<br />
– were on hold.<br />
City council head of planning<br />
and consents John Higgins<br />
said further information about<br />
earthworks was submitted<br />
and processing restarted last<br />
Thursday.<br />
“We don’t have a date for the<br />
application going to a decision<br />
maker yet, as that will depend<br />
on the assessment of the further<br />
information,” Higgins said.<br />
Residents have raised concerns<br />
about the development exacerbating<br />
parking issues in the area.<br />
In fact, car parking was the<br />
main discussion point at a public<br />
meeting with Williams Corporation<br />
staff in October.<br />
North Beach Residents’<br />
Association co-chair Phillip<br />
Ridge said residents were only<br />
notified about the development<br />
not providing off-street parking at<br />
the meeting.<br />
“People were asking questions<br />
about what that actually entails<br />
and also voicing their concerns<br />
about what that meant.”<br />

Williams Corporation<br />
managing director Matthew<br />

When <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> asked<br />
how the company will address<br />

WOOLSTON residents have<br />
seven days left to submit their<br />
opinions on a temporary alcohol<br />
ban in the area.<br />
A public consultation to determine<br />
whether residents, businesses<br />
and community groups support<br />
the proposal of implementing a<br />
six-month temporary ban in the<br />
Woolston Village area will close<br />
on <strong>December</strong> 7. The decision on<br />
the ban is likely to be made in the<br />

The ban prohibits public drinking<br />

alcohol containers in public places<br />
within the specified ban area.<br />
The proposed area includes<br />

the council brings in a temporary<br />

Acts 2002, councils can impose<br />
an alcohol ban in areas where ‘a<br />

School Update<br />
Manukura Korero<br />
After the success of our Senior Prize giving, we look forward to the opportunity to thank our<br />
Stakeholders and contributors from the business community at our annual He Mihi Maioha -<br />
Appreciation Night. We are also looking forward to celebrating the successes of our Y1-10 ākonga<br />
at the Junior Prize giving ceremony. The Y9/10 prize giving will take place on Wednesday 14th of<br />
<strong>December</strong> and the Y1-8 prize giving on Friday the<br />
16th of <strong>December</strong>.<br />
As we rush towards the end of Term 4 we are<br />
excited with the prospect of the Christmas gift<br />
celebration for our Year 1-8 ākonga. This is an<br />
initiative organised by our Studentleaders. We are<br />
currently after donations of empty shoe boxes,<br />
wrapping paper and any items that can be gifted<br />
to ākonga 5-13 years old. We would like to thank<br />
the generous members of the wider community<br />
that have responded to our request for support of<br />
this initiative. If you would like to donate towards<br />
this, please contact Natalie Malan on mnn@<br />
haeata.school.nz.<br />
Our ākonga hosted a mini community market<br />
on Friday 18 November. This featured some<br />
goods that they had designed and made. Te<br />
Tai O Mahaanui was filled with excitement and<br />
our young entrepreneurs enjoyed a successful<br />
afternoon of engaging with kaimahi, peers and the<br />
community.<br />
Keep an eye out for the Cell phone policy survey<br />
that will be sent to whānau via hail. Ākonga will<br />
have the opportunity to complete this at kura.<br />
Preparations are well underway for the AFFIRM<br />
community event happening on the 3rd of <strong>December</strong>. We have some solo artists as well as our<br />
Pasifika and Kapa haka groups performing on centre stage at 12pm. Thank you to ACTIS for this<br />
opportunity.<br />

The Christchurch School Music Festival<br />
2 November <strong>2022</strong><br />
After a few months of practising the songs for the festival we had our first rehearsal where a<br />
number of schools within the Canterbury East area came to Haeata for the afternoon. This gave us<br />
an opportunity to see what it feels like to sing as a whole group.<br />
On November the 2nd we took a van to the Christchurch Town Hall for our final rehearsal. We<br />
were there for most of the day. We went through all of the songs. We practised and practised.<br />
All of the schools that were going to sing that evening were there. Some of the orchestras were<br />
also there practising.<br />
We were pretty excited as it was a big deal for Haeata as it was the first time our kura joined the<br />
festival.<br />
We sang our hearts out. The orchestra was amazing as were the special singing items. It was a<br />
very long day but enjoyable.<br />
We had fun!<br />

Hospitality<br />
On the 29th of September <strong>2022</strong> a group of Kōmanawa ākonga were very fortunate to attend the<br />
AuKia ora and greetings from our wonderful commercial kitchen facilities at Haeata.<br />
Term 4 is always such a great opportunity for reflection and, as I look at my ākonga now,<br />
compared to where they were at the start of the course, I am hugely filled with pride as I reflect<br />
on how their kete of skills, knowledge and confidence has grown from strength to strength.<br />
Incrementally and progressively from the “I can’t do that”, to the “Wow, I can’t believe I just made<br />
that!”. Each one of those moments makes me so proud!<br />
The seniors have now left with a plethora of practical cooking and hospitality credits to their<br />
name. They are armed with the skills to try new recipes, substitute ingredients, implement healthy<br />
and cost effective alternatives, and have the vision and confidence to be creative in the kitchen<br />
and stand proudly by their work. They deserve the privilege of wearing a chef’s jacket and, if I still<br />
owned a restaurant, I would employ them in a heartbeat.<br />
The juniors fill me with the warm fuzzies too, particularly the year 9’s. It took a while to garner<br />
a cohesive team but with patience and firm non negotiable expectations, I now have a class<br />
that I can’t wait to teach and inspire with more culinary creations. The pictures are some of my<br />
favourites of when we had a design, a sweet and also a savoury, bread of your choice. We also had<br />
a stack of pancakes competition. Those are the teaching moments I love. Life long skills using at<br />
hand, or inexpensive ingredients.<br />
The other pictures are of some cakes, and finger food platters created by the year 11’s, and my<br />
favourite picture of them all, my top Hospitality students hard at work.<br />
Y8 Technology: Soft Materials<br />
Year 8 ākonga completed their soft materials project where they<br />
made a cushion or an apron. Most ākonga painted while others<br />
tie-dyed their fabric. Skills learned<br />
included pattern making, measuring<br />
seam allowance, cutting fabric and<br />
sewing skills. Some ākonga found the<br />
tasks challenging and all found the<br />
sewing process relaxing.<br />
At the end of Term 4 ākonga will be<br />
able to take their soft material project<br />
home.<br />

GRADUATION: The New Zealand Blue Light Life Skills programme<br />
participants at the end of their course.<br />
Winning award a bonus<br />
from life skills programme<br />
“MY BIGGEST challenge<br />
was standing still and<br />
marching out,” Samaldie<br />
Eti, 15, from Catholic<br />
Cathedral College said<br />
as he reflects on his<br />
experience at Blue Light’s<br />
Life Skills programme<br />
held recently at Burnham<br />
Military camp.<br />
On winning the Peer’s<br />
Choice Award Samaldie<br />
said: “I was really excited<br />
to be chosen for this award<br />
and enjoyed the camp,<br />
especially the activities,<br />
I loved all the physical<br />
activity and meeting and<br />
making new friends”.<br />
Samaldie, of Aranui,<br />
was voted by his fellow<br />
peers, Defence Force and<br />
Blue Light staff to win the<br />
award.<br />
Said Blue Light southern<br />
co-ordinator Nicola Patterson:<br />
“Samaldie was<br />
awarded the Peer’s Choice<br />
Award through his efforts<br />
to foster a team environment,<br />
encouragement and<br />
respectful communication<br />
with fellow team members.”<br />
Said Catholic Cathedral<br />
College careers adviser<br />
Danielle Herrick: “This<br />
camp provides our ākonga<br />
with a range of positive<br />
experiences. Our ākonga<br />
can take away the skills<br />
and tools that they learnt<br />
RESPECT: Canterbury<br />
Police rural area<br />
commander Inspector<br />
Peter Cooper and the<br />
Peer’s Choice Award<br />
winner Samaldie Eti.<br />
from attending the camp<br />
into many areas of their<br />
life. This opportunity can<br />
strengthen and develop<br />
our youth leaders of tomorrow.<br />
Our Rangatahi<br />
enjoy making new connections<br />
and learning about<br />
themselves, a fantastic<br />
experience.”<br />
The camp offered Samaldie<br />
the ability to learn<br />
life skills such cleaning,<br />
rising early, making his<br />
bed, and cleaning his room<br />
by 6am for inspection.<br />
Samaldie also took part<br />
Do you suffer from<br />
dizziness or vertigo?<br />
in experiential learning<br />
activities such as the high<br />
wire course, mountain<br />
biking, swimming, learnt<br />
parade ground drills,<br />
took part in leadership,<br />
teamwork, and physical<br />
activities.<br />
He also got to visit the<br />
International Antarctic<br />
Centre where, along with<br />
other activities, he got to<br />
meet the huskies and learn<br />
the history of military<br />
working dogs.<br />
The highly successful<br />
programme has been operated<br />
by Blue Light in partnership<br />
with the Defence<br />
Force for the past 12 years<br />
and has adventure-based<br />
experiential learning as<br />
a key part of the programme.<br />
The programme provides<br />
14 to 17-year-olds’<br />
critical life skills such as<br />
self-development, selfcontrol,<br />
and teamwork that<br />
will enable young people<br />
to be successful at home,<br />
school, communities, and<br />
employment.<br />
Up to 12 courses are held<br />
each year in Auckland,<br />
Central North Island and<br />

Whether its outdoor lights with a waving<br />
Santa or just draping tinsel across your<br />
mantelpiece, there are many ways to celebrate<br />
the festive season in your home.<br />
Go natural<br />
Driftwood painted white with LED lights<br />
wrapped around, or pine cones with a<br />
touch of silver spray paint, make beautiful<br />
natural additions to the home at this time<br />
of year. If you have a tree branch around<br />
the home, why not cut it up into discs and<br />
spray paint white stars and reindeer on the<br />
disc. Drill a hole in the top and thread some<br />
gardeners string through the hole and you<br />
have an instant decoration to hang on the<br />
tree or somewhere around the home. Cover<br />
polystyrene balls in ripped linen, hessian and<br />
cotton strips. These can either be hung up or<br />
a number placed in a bowl on the table.<br />
Tinsel town<br />
Many love the glitter and sparkle that<br />
tinsel brings but how about using it in<br />
different ways. A three-tiered cake plate with<br />
tinsel laid on each plate with baubles then<br />
placed on top, can look really impressive<br />
as a centrepiece for the table. Make your<br />
own wreath by wrapping tinsel around and<br />
around a polystyrene circle. Hang just as it<br />
is, or hot glue gun baubles on to create extra<br />
wow.<br />
Table setting<br />
Sometimes the simplest decorations on<br />
the table can look the most stunning. A<br />
beautiful napkin rolled up with a piece of<br />
red and white ribbon, or rosemary wreath<br />
looks amazing. Why not place a hessian<br />
runner down the middle of the table and add<br />
greenery and candles in jars on top to create<br />
a wonderful centrepiece.<br />
If you have a children’s eating table, why<br />
not put a long piece of brown paper as a table<br />
cloth. Draw large circles where the plates<br />
can go and write Christmas questions beside<br />
each plate outline. A little bottle with a red<br />
and white paper straw is great too. Put a jar<br />
of red and green crayons on the table. When<br />
the kids are finished their dinner, they can<br />
play noughts and crosses or hangman or just<br />
draw pictures.<br />
If you’re looking for ideas why not check<br />
out Pinterest. Here you will find every style<br />
and every technique to make sure your<br />
home looks like a Christmas wonderland<br />
this festive season.<br />

OUTSTANDING: (From left) – Tutor Arnya Watson with Prime Minister’s<br />
Vocational Excellence Award recipients Zane Roberts (Shirley Boys’ High<br />
School), Adam Barker (Lincoln High School) and Tyler Spatcher-Harrison<br />
(Hillmorton High School).<br />
Shirley Boys’ High School<br />
student cooks his<br />
way to prestigious award<br />
AN ASPIRING young<br />
cook from Shirley Boys’<br />
High School has earned a<br />
prestigious award.<br />
Zane Roberts was among<br />
three students who have<br />
scooped the Prime Minister’s<br />
Vocational Excellence<br />
Award.<br />
The award was launched<br />
in 2<strong>01</strong>9 to celebrate the<br />
top high school students<br />
enrolled in vocational study<br />
with a $2000 prize.<br />
Along with Hillmorton<br />
High School’s Tyler<br />
Spatcher-Harrison and<br />
Lincoln High School’s<br />
Adam Barker, Roberts has<br />
juggled school this year<br />
along with two days a week<br />
completing cookery level<br />
three at Ara-Te Pūkenga’s<br />
department of hospitality,<br />
business and service<br />
industries.<br />
Wanting to get beyond<br />
Young and Healthy Charitable Trust<br />
and Virtual Adventure founder Kim<br />
Harvey visited Pareawa Banks Ave<br />
School last week and gifted a class of<br />
pupils a pair of Asics shoes each.<br />
The group was among 22,000 Kiwi<br />
children in Canterbury joining forces<br />
with celebrity heroes including Ardie<br />
Savea, Ameliaranne Ekenasio, Kane<br />
Williamson and Samantha Charlton to<br />
washing dishes in a restaurant<br />
and working toward<br />
becoming a chef, Roberts<br />
said his plans are set for<br />
next year.<br />
“I’m going to do level<br />
four in the workplace. I’ll<br />
go to work, and they’ll<br />
teach me everything but<br />
every so often I’ll get to<br />
come back to Ara to do<br />
assessments which is cool.<br />
I’ll get paid to learn so I’m<br />
happy.”<br />
Tutor Arnya Watson said<br />
the award is a wonderful<br />
bonus for these students<br />
who have gone above and<br />
beyond.<br />
“They’re my high achievers.<br />
They’ve worked hard<br />
out of class to practice and<br />
do extra competitions.<br />
Anything that was available<br />
to do – they pushed<br />
themselves.<br />
“I still can’t believe we<br />
had three in one class<br />
though.”<br />
Most of her <strong>2022</strong> class<br />
are planning on returning<br />
to Ara, which Watson<br />
said demonstrates how the<br />
supportive approach to<br />
learning gives students a<br />
firm pathway to staying in<br />
education.<br />
And because the level<br />
three course is managed<br />
through school, there is<br />
impact on their fees – free<br />
first year of tertiary study.<br />
Watson said it is rewarding<br />
helping these students<br />
find where their future lies.<br />
“They get a lot out<br />
of their experience as<br />
they seek work. Instead<br />
of having to be shown<br />
everything they’ve already<br />
got skills – they know about<br />
clean workspaces and food<br />
safety, so it gives them a<br />
head start.”<br />
participate in the <strong>2022</strong> Zespri Young<br />
and Healthy Virtual Adventure.<br />
The health and well-being<br />
programme took the children on a<br />
virtual trip around the globe, instilling<br />
healthy habits along the way such as<br />
moving their bodies, eating extra fruit<br />
and vegetables, drinking more water,<br />
getting a good night sleep and reducing<br />
leisure time spent on screen.<br />
