By George, he’s a great fellow 

WHEN NGAIO Marsh village 

resident George Beard reached 

out to support a women’s refuge 

in the eastern suburbs with 

donated food, his kindness was 

welcomed. 

The women at Te Whare 

Hauora – including Dale 

Johnson and Rachel Tahuri – 

were thrilled someone would 

contact the refuge, seemingly 

out of the blue, with provisions. 

Te Whare Hauora, also known 

as Otautahi Māori Women’s 

Refuge, provides confidential 

‘safe house’ accommodation, 

specific to the needs of Māori 

women and their tamariki who 

are victims of domestic violence. 

Now George plans to approach 

other residents from Ngaio 

Marsh and possibly other 

Ryman Healthcare villages to 

gather further donations for the 

refuge. 

For a long time, George helped 

a women’s refuge group on the 

Gold Coast, so when he returned 

to New Zealand it seemed 

natural to continue supporting 

those in need. 

George said he received $1000 

as part of the deal when he 

moved into Ngaio Marsh and 

decided he would like to convert 

it into food for the refuge. A visit 

this month to the Stanmore Rd 

New World supermarket saw 

him pick up $800 of meat and 

$200 of frozen vegetables. 

The produce was handed over 

to Johnson, the manager for Te 

Whare Hauora, and Tauhiri, 

GIVING: Dale Johnson, George Beard and Rachel Tahuri with some of George’s donated 

food. 

a residential and community 

worker, to use over the holiday 

period. 

Johnson said the food 

donation went far, particularly 

during the festive season and 

new year, when families are 

under pressure. 

“This food went straight into 

our safe house. So families 

that come in, sometimes in the 

middle of the night, they don’t 

have anything. 

“They’re standing up in what 

they’ve got pretty much – it’s a 

very traumatic time for those 

families,” Johnson said. 

“To be able to put food on 

the table and make sure there’s 

a warm, safe space for them to 

go and that they’ve got food in 

their belly is our main objective 

for these whanau referred to our 

safe house.” 

Once families are settled, the 

refuge team members work with 

individual women and their 

tamariki to prioritise their needs 

and help them achieve what they 

want. 

The work includes navigating 

legal systems and applying 

for protection orders, custody 

orders and tenancy orders. 

They also liaise with early 

childhood education centres or 

schools. 

“Whatever the need is we are 

there to support them,” Johnson 

says. 

Te Whare Hauora, is an 

independent refuge contracted 

to provide Government-funded 

refuge services in Christchurch. 

As a Kaupapa Māori Service 

it’s an affiliated member of 

the National Collective of 

independent Women’s Refuge. 

‘Everything 

about the 

school was 

challenging’ 

• From page 1 

The Waihi beach event involved 

days that started early and finished 

late. All the candidates were 

put into high-stress situations 

including orchestrated patrol, first 

aid and search scenarios. They 

were constantly tested, observed 

and evaluated by staff and instructors, 

said SLSNZ national education 

manager Belinda Slement. 

“They also had to complete the 

practical elements in challenging 

conditions with a big swell running 

directly into Waihi beach,” 

she said. 

At the end, Simmons, who lives 

in Redcliffs, was chosen as the 

standout. 

“Everything about the school 

was challenging,” he said. 

“Many of the tasks really put 

me out of my comfort zone but 

I enjoyed the theory and practical 

elements equally. I learned so 

many new skills and knowledge, 

all of which I can take back to my 

club’s patrols to help develop our 

lifeguards.” 

Simmons comes from a surfing 

and surf lifesaving family. His 

father Wayne is president of the 

club, mother Tracy Blackwood 

along with brother Jack who is 

also a lifeguard. 

He intends to continue as a 

lifeguard for as long as he can.

to Thursday and on-site parking for your convenience.

Lifesaving AED 

for New Brighton 

• By Natalie Pham 

ANOTHER lifesaving 

device has been installed 

at Brighton Mall to ensure 

it is readily available in 

an emergency as visitor 

numbers increase. 

Brighton Gallery 

committee member and 

trustee Penny Wright, 

who has extensive medical 

training, campaigned for 

a new automated external 

defibrillator (AED), paid 

for by ratepayers, which 

could be accessed 24 

hours a day. The other 

defibrillators near Brighton 

Mall are not accessible 

after hours. 

The new AED, located 

in the PO Box office on 

Carnaby Lane, analyses 

a person’s heart rhythm 

and sends an electric pulse 

if it has stopped beating 

normally. 

Without CPR or a 

defibrillator, the chances of 

a person surviving severe 

cardiac arrest decreases 10 

per cent a minute. 

Said Wright: “[Business 

owners and the city 

council] have been 

incredibly supportive. 

ACCESS: Penny Wright said the automated 

external defibrillator will save lives in the area. 

It’s really nice that we’re 

having more carnivals and 

festivals and the whole 

Carnaby Lane gets full of 

people of ages. 

“Literally hundreds of 

people attending, so that’s 

another reason why we 

want something like this 

readily available in the 

central location.” 

Over the next few weeks, 

Wright said St John will 

provide free training 

under its ‘3 Steps for Life’ 

programme. 

As part of the city 

council funding 

application, she canvassed 

about 20 businesses on 

Carnaby Lane, Surfside 

Mall and Seaview Rd. 

Support for the new AED 

was unanimous, Wright 

said. 

The trust received $3400 

from the city council’s 

discretionary response 

fund in July to purchase 

the HeartSine SAM 500P 

AED off St John. 

The device finally 

arrived in December and 

has now been installed.

A FREE, community-led 

running event at Bottle 

Lake Forest Park is proving 

to be a big hit. 

About 100 runners on 

average set out from the 

Broad Park car park near 

Waimairi Beach for the 

5km parkrun each Saturday 

morning. 

Volunteer Lisa McGonigle 

said up to 120 runners 

have previously taken part 

in the event. There were 

fewer than this at its 15th 

run on Saturday due to the 

wet weather, but McGonigle 

and the other organisers 

knew people would still 

show up. 

“It was kind of drizzling 

when we started at 8am 

and it was raining quite 

hard by the time we finished,” 

she said. 

“We know that some 

people would absolutely 

turn up – rain, hail or 

shine. And they did indeed.” 

STAY FIT: 

Heathcote 

resident 

Callum 

Templeton 

and Lisa 

McGonigle 

from 

Linwood 

were part 

of the 

volunteer 

group on 

the day. 

Bottle Lake parkrun 

attracts big crowd 

In total, 57 runners and 

about 12 volunteers attended. 

The Linwood resident 

said the sense of community 

is among the main 

reasons she enjoys the 

parkrun. 

The runners and volunteers 

head to a nearby 

cafe after the Broad Park 

parkrun. 

The group aims to 

extend the event after the 

one-year trial ends on 

October.

Young hopefuls out to impress 

• By Jaime Cunningham 

THE BEST young netballers 

in the city will be hoping to 

impress the New Zealand 

secondary school selectors at a 

national development camp in 

Ashburton. 

A majority of the 15 players 

selected from the Mainland 

area, which is made up of 17 

netball centres from Canterbury, 

Tasman, Malborough and 

the West Coast, are from the 

Christchurch and Selwyn netball 

centres. 

Ninety secondary school players 

were picked in December to 

attend one of the three camps 

taking place across New Zealand. 

The players will undergo movement 

competency screening, 

skill development and tournament 

match play. The Mainland 

representatives and 15 Southern 

players will attend the camp in 

Ashburton from January 20-22. 

LOOKING IN: Maddy Laing 

is hoping to impress the 

New Zealand secondary 

school selectors at an 

upcoming national 

development camp. 

The camps are the first step on 

an elite path for young netballers 

still at high school. 

It will be the second consecutive 

camp for Sienna Stowers- 

Smith (STAC), Madi Smith 

(CGHS), and Maddy Laing, who 

also participated last January. 

Maddy, who plays for the 

Halswell Rugby League Netball 

Club, said she is feeling confident 

after going through “a lot harder” 

selection process than last year. 

“This year it was different 

. . . everyone who wanted to be 

selected participated at a camp in 

Rangiora with (Mainland Tactix 

assistant coach) Tania Hoffman. 

From there, another camp was 

held with people chosen from the 

first one . . . that was at a higher 

level.” 

“I was very nervous last year, 

but now that I’m . . . in that older 

year group I feel more confident 

for this year’s camp,” she said. 

The 16-year-old said the skills 

she learnt at the 2022 camp 

helped her in the following 

season. 

“When it came to my season, 

I found playing with new people 

so much easier after having to 

meet new people and play with 

them at the camp,” she said. 

Former Central Pulse assistant 

and current NZSS head coach 

Pelesa Semu will lead the camps 

with former Silver Ferns and 

Southern Steel assistant coach Jo 

Morrison. Maddy, who plays in 

the midcourt, is looking forward 

to working with both coaches 

again, particularly on defence. 

“They’re really specific . . . 

sometimes with club coaches . . . 

you need to ask lots of questions 

to understand. 

“But these coaches were really 

clear and used whiteboards for 

understanding, which was helpful 

visually,” she said. 

The camps in Ashburton, 

Auckland and Hastings over the 

next two weeks signal the start 

of the NZSS team’s campaign. 

The final squad will be selected 

in a few months for the first 

international competition for 

the NZSS team in more than 

two years. For Maddy, there is 

no hesitation on the goal for 

the upcoming netball year: “It’s 

getting into that squad.”
