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 />

Ridge said the association and<br />

Two weeks ago, the association<br />

and the club jointly requested<br />

the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-<br />

Linwood Community Board did<br />

not issue resource consent for<br />

the development until off-street<br />

parking was provided.<br />

Williams Corporation<br />

managing director Matthew<br />

Horncastle said he was not<br />

aware of the joint submission.<br />

When <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> asked<br />

how the company will address<br />

residents’ concerns, Horncastle<br />

said it will not.<br />

He also said provision of<br />

WOOLSTON residents have<br />

A public consultation to determine<br />

whether residents, businesses<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

(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 />
