Smash-and-grab teens 

plough into teacher’s car 

Preschool 

mums 

will help 

pay for 

damage 

• By Daniel Alvey 

MUMS FROM a preschool have 

banded together to help pay for 

damage done to a teacher’s car 

after it was hit by teenagers in a 

stolen vehicle. 

The Huntsbury Preschool 

teacher’s car, parked on 

Huntsbury Ave, was hit on 

Monday morning after an 

attempt by the teenagers to flee 

police failed. 

The five teenagers were 

fleeing from police after they 

had smashed the front doors 

and window of Noel Leeming 

on Langdons Rd, Papanui, at 

about 4.40am, where they were 

seen running into the store 

holding pillowcases. 

Police were informed of the 

suspected stolen vehicle in 

the Huntsbury Ave area about 

7.45am on Monday. 

FLEEING TEENS: Police at the Huntsbury Ave scene on Monday morning. 

When police responded, the 

occupants of the vehicle tried to 

flee, damaging a police vehicle 

and the teacher’s vehicle in the 

process. 

In a Facebook post, a group 

of mums from the preschool 

said they would help pay for the 

insurance excess. 

A Huntsbury resident posted 

on Facebook on Monday he saw 

up to seven police cars 

at the scene and was told by 

police that one of the teenagers 

was 13. 

Police said of the five people 

taken into custody a 15-yearold 

male was due to appear 

in the Youth Court on Tuesday 

on a number of related 

charges. A 15-year-old female

was also due to appear, charged 

with unlawfully taking a 

vehicle. 

Police said further charges 

are being considered. 

There were no injuries in the 

crash, a spokesperson said.

Canty marching team 

displays winning style 

The Pioneers of Canterbury 

Masters team marched their 

way to success at the recent NZ 

Marching Championships, hosted 

by Marching Canterbury and 

held at Christchurch Arena. 

Smartly turned out in their 

crisp white jackets and blue and 

white tartan skirts, the 21-member 

team took first place in the 

display phase and were third 

champion team overall. 

Sirita Prior, who co-coaches the team 

with Noeline Kitto, says it was the closest 

result for champion team in five years, 

and “a very interesting competition with 

just 30 points between the first and third 

placegetters”. 

They were also the third-placed technical 

drill team. 

For their winning display march, the 

team received a trophy, with members 

also awarded badges and bars to place on 

their jackets. 

Eight teams from around New Zealand 

competed in the Masters division, four of 

them from Canterbury. 

The Pioneers of Canterbury Masters 

have enough members for two technical 

drill teams, and the second team, Pioneers 

of Canterbury Force, placed fifth in 

the technical drill phase. 

“It’s been said by some that you can’t 

coach two teams successfully, but we’ve 

proved them wrong. It’s also how you

measure success which defines the season 

– awards aren’t what we prioritise but we 

appreciate them when they are received,” 

Sirita says. 

“We train both teams together as one 

team and they both receive the same 

attention.” 

Prior to the championships, the 

Pioneers of Canterbury were invited to 

showcase their display and technical 

marches at the Drill Dance Australia and 

Marching NZ Tattoo being held on the 

Gold Coast in July. 

“We asked the girls if they wanted to go 

and not one of them said ‘no’,” Sirita says. 

“They will have four weeks off from 

training before we prepare for Australia 

and then when we return we will be creating 

a whole new display and learning a 

new technical drill for next season, which 

starts in October,” Sirita says. 

The 2024 NZ Marching Championships 

will be held in Hamilton next March, 

hosted by Marching Waikato.

Professor gives back to old school 

• By Darryl Baser 

A FORMER Linwood High 

School head boy has donated 

a collection of history books 

he has worked on and two 

artworks to Te Aratai College. 

Professor Geoff Rice was 

at Linwood High in 1964 

before the school was renamed 

Linwood College then Te Aratai 

College last year. 

Rice received a New Zealand 

Order of Merit in 2021 for 

services to historical research 

and education. 

His first book, Black 

November, on the 1918 

influenza pandemic in New 

Zealand was used by the 

Ministry of Health in its 

pandemic action plan released 

in response to the 2006 bird flu 

pandemic. 

Rice said it felt like the right 

time to give something back to 

his old school. 

“My grandson started 

there this year, it made me 

think: ‘Perhaps it is time I did 

something for the school’.” 

Sixteen of the books 

donated were written by Rice, 

including Black November. 

He also had three gifts for the 

school. 

“I also donated a little 

Oamaru stone sculpture of a 

half opened door to symbolise 

the door of a library always 

being open.” 

If it wasn’t for his old school,

nearly didn’t become the history 

expert he is now. In his last year 

of high school, Rice said he was 

“dead keen on becoming an 

artist and teaching art.” 

“I actually sat the fine arts 

prelim in my last year at 

school and passed it, but my 

headmaster and Jim Ormond, 

the deputy principal, took me 

aside one day. 

“Jim said to me: ‘Your artistic 

talent will be with you the rest 

of your life but [history] is the 

best way to get a degree’,” he 

said. 

Rice also gifted a painting 

which references a mural he

created as a student in 1963 in 

the library. The painting was 

destroyed along with the library 

and staff room in a fire at the 

school 1975. 

He said he was also motivated 

to give back to the school which 

set him up for life. 

“I had a very good grounding 

at Linwood High School as it 

was then. We had really keen 

young staff fresh out of teachers’ 

college and I got a very good 

education at Linwood.” 

Te Aratai College principal 

Richard Edmundson said the 

gifts will remind the students of 

the school’s rich past.

“It’s a wonderful 

example of community, of 

people valuing their own 

schooling, and wanting to pass 

on the good things that have 

happened in their lives to the 

next generation,” Edmundson 

said. 

“Our school, the rebuild, is a

east side of the city is strong it 

helps the whole of the city to 

be strong and I’d argue more 

prosperous.”

THE LINWOOD Service Centre 

is now a one-stop shop for people 

wanting to post letters and pay 

bills. 

The city council has been 

working with NZ Post to ensure 

residents in the Linwood area 

continue to have easy access to 

postal and bill paying services. 

An agreement has been reached, 

and the Linwood Service Centre is 

now a full agent for NZ Post. 

“We hear and understand that 

the Linwood community value 

convenient access to PostPlus 

services. We’re pleased to have a 

plan in place that will continue to 

see these services offered locally,” 

said city council head of citizen 

and customer services Sarah 

Numan. 

“We will have a convenient 

one-stop shop where people can 

access council customer services, 

send letters and parcels and pay 

bills. It’s a great outcome for our 

community.” 

The city council started 

providing postal services at the 

Fendalton Service Centre in 2016. 

Since then it has expanded to 

include Papanui, Riccarton and 

Shirley service centres. 

The Linwood Service Centre is 

located in the Linwood Library 

in Eastgate Mall. The service 

centre is open Monday to Friday 

9am-5pm.

Kirkwood Intermediate 

School of Choice 

Celebrating Kirkwood 

House Captains for 2023 

Year 7 Camp 

Our Year 7 pupils have recently 

attended a camp at Purau Bay. 

This is a great way for the children 

to get to know each other. 

Back row (from left): Clara, Alex, Amilee, Annabel 

Front Row (from left): CJ, Nika, Liam, Oscar 

My favourite 

part of camp was the 

abseiling because it was 

fun, challenging, and a new 

experience. It was great to watch 

everyone do it. I learnt that there 

were lots of different types of crabs 

on the beach. I also learnt that 

when you are abseiling you 

never put your feet close 

together. 

My favourite 

part of the camp 

was doing the activities 

and feeding the eels and 

goats. We enjoyed the free 

time on the beach, the water 

was crystal clear. The 

abseiling was amazing; 

you feel like you can 

fly. 

House Captains for Mansfield/Hillary 

CJ - ex Ararira Springs Primary 

I love the teachers at Kirkwood and I find the school culture is so down 

to earth and is super motivational. I like the discipline and strict rules the 

teachers lay out. I want to make a positive influence on the students during 

their time at Kirkwood and I want to make the environment a better place. 

I wanted to be a House Captain because I wanted to be a great leader for 

this school. 

Clara - ex Lincoln Primary 

I like the opportunities and learning environment. Also, the people from 

different backgrounds and the staff at Kirkwood are all lovely to talk to.This 

year, I would like to encourage more students to try new things. I want to 

help fundraise to help our school and I would like to help more students 

respect, encourage, and help others. I wanted to be a House Captain 

so I could help others, learn leadership skills, and have an influence with 

decisions made at school. 

House Captains for Sheppard/Freyberg 

Liam - ex Knights Stream School 

I like Kirkwood for the many opportunities which are offered, especially 

leadership opportunities. I will encourage people to try new things which are 

outside of their comfort zone. I wanted to become a House Captain because 

I would like to get more involved with the school and learn leadership skills. 

Amilee - ex Prebbleton 

At Kirkwood, I like all the sports and activities made available to us. I would 

love to get in a netball, touch and korfball team and will encourage others to 

try sports too. I was always wanting to be House Captain at Kirkwood so I 

can develop leadership skills. 

House Captains for Britten/Te Kanawa 

Oscar - ex Ilam School 

I really like the Technology classes and Physical Education. My favourite 

subject is writing. I wanted to be a House Captain so I can show I am 

responsible and really trustworthy to others. 

Annabel - ex Halswell School 

I enjoy the Technology classes, all the sports available at Kirkwood, and the 

many different opportunities offered at Kirkwood. I will get everyone to enjoy 

sports days and encourage people to earn House Points. I wanted to be a 

House Captain because it sounds like a good leadership role. 

House Captains for Rutherford/Batten 

Alex - ex Ararira Springs Primary 

I love Kirkwood because there are always new things to do and learn. It is 

awesome to be around a lot of people my age, and to learn and grow from 

them. There are also heaps of cool opportunities, whether they are sporting, 

academic or leadership. This year I would like to encourage everyone to be 

their best self and make the most of every opportunity. Last year, our class 

studied who our houses are named after, this inspired me and made me 

want to become a leader. 

Nika - ex Beckenham School 

I love Kirkwood so much as I feel like I can do anything. All the teachers 

and children support me in everything I do. I want to encourage learning and 

interacting with others. I wanted to be a House Captain so I can show people 

like me that they can do anything they want if they put their mind to it. 

I enjoyed all of 

the camp, especially 

abseiling, canoeing, the farm 

tour and feeding the eels. We learnt 

how to abseil and how to play Kick the 

Can. I learnt that Ripapa Island existed, 

and I learnt the island's past uses and 

history. I also learnt a lot more about 

the Māori history in and around 

Ripapa. We went on a farm tour 

and enjoyed seeing all the 

farm animals. 

My favourite 

part was abseiling 

down the cliff. My other 

favourite part was canoeing 

in the ocean. I learnt that goats 

will eat absolutely anything if 

you let them. I also learnt how 

to put a tent up and down 

and that chickens and 

goats like bread.

Sumner avoid relegation – 

but no milestone for Vann 

• By Jaime Cunningham 

SUMNER’S championship 

grade cricket team have 

escaped relegation over the 

weekend, at the cost of a major 

Dan Vann milestone. 

Going into the last day 

of the two-day match on 

Saturday, Sumner needed to 

bat for majority of the day 

for a win or draw against 

Lancaster Park to avoid 

dropping to the division 1 

grade next season. 

Sumner finished on 219/5 

for a draw, led by a century 

from captain Boston Fielding 

(112 not out from 160 balls) 

and Brett Taylor’s 58. 

Although the team avoided 

relegation, batting for the 

full day prevented Dan Vann 

from gaining the three more 

wickets he needed to reach a 

500 wicket milestone for the 

club. 

“In terms of not bowling, 

I wasn’t too fussed. I’d much 

rather see the team do well,” 

Vann said. 

In October, the 39-year-old 

became the second Sumner 

player to bring up 400 

appearances for the side, and 

is the highest wicket taker for 

the club with 497. 

Dan Vann 

Vann will make fewer 

apperances for Sumner 

next season, as running his 

coaching business, teaching 

part-time at Chisnallwood 

Intermediate and playing has 

become too much to balance. 

“It would of been nice to get 

to that milestone this season 

but I am sure I will play a few 

games next season, I just won’t 

be as committed in terms of 

playing every week,” Vann 

said. 

Vann said Saturday’s 

result was big for Sumner, as 

fielding a championship side 

ensures the club is playing at a 

competitive standard. 

“It’s a grade that players 

want to play so it makes it 

easier to recruit players. We 

have been battling a bit for 

numbers this season so we 

will be need to recruit well 

over the off season,” he said. 

Sumner’s prizegiving also 

took place on Saturday, with 

Fielding taking out the major 

awards, including best allrounder, 

most runs for his 

team and club, and the sports 

award for most points through 

catches, runs, wickets and run 

outs. 

Nawid Mohammady was 

awarded the most improved 

player for Sumner and his 

championship side, alongside 

the award for the most 

wickets. 

Scorecard: 

Sumner 168/10, 

Bibin Babu 41, 

Nathan Wingham 

3/23 and 219/5, 

Boston Fielding 

112 not out, Brett 

Taylor 58, drew 

with Lancaster 

Park 105/10, Nick 

Cooke 25, Nawid 

Mohammady, 4/38. 

RESULT: Boston Fielding’s 

century on Saturday 

ensured Sumner stay in the 

championship grade next 

season, finishing on 112 not 

out. However, Dan Vann did 

not take the three wickets he 

needed to reach 500.

No eggs? No problem, simply substitute 

Swapping in one 

ingredient for 

another can not only 

save your cake mixture, 

it can also reduce 

waste, write the good 

folk at Love Food Hate 

Waste 

WE LOVE using bananas and 

apples in creative ways, 

but did you 

know they 

can also 

be used 

as baking 

substitutes 

in place of 

eggs, butter, 

and yoghurt? 

This is especially 

handy if you often 

find partly eaten apples 

coming home inside lunch 

boxes. Chop them up and place 

in freezer bags until you have 

enough, then cook them up to 

make apple sauce. Stored in a 

container, it will last up to three 

days in the fridge or longer in 

the freezer. 

Use ¼ cup as a substitute for 

1 egg, or ½ cup of apple sauce 

instead of 1 cup of butter, and 

swap equal amounts for yoghurt. 

If it’s brown bananas you’re 

dealing with, half a large banana 

can be used instead of 1 egg, 

or 1 cup of mashed banana 

substituted for 1 cup of butter 

or yoghurt. Note that using 

ingredient substitutes may affect 

the texture and flavour. 

Here are more ideas for egg, 

butter, and yoghurt substitutes: 

What can I use instead of 

eggs? 

• To replace 

one 

egg, you can 

use: 

• Mayonnaise 

(left) 

– use 2 or 3 

tablespoons. 

• 1 teaspoon 

of baking soda 

plus 1 tablespoon 

of white 

vinegar. 

• Ground 

flaxseed – mix 1 

tablespoon of ground 

flaxseed with 3 tablespoons 

of cold water, stir then leave to 

stand for 10 minutes to thicken. 

• Whole chia seeds – mix 1 

tablespoon of whole chia seeds 

with 3 tablespoons of cold water, 

stir, then leave to stand for 10 

minutes to thicken. 

• Silken tofu – use ¼ cup of 

silken tofu, blended. 

• Aquafaba (chickpea brine) 

– use 2 tablespoons of aquafaba 

instead of 1 egg white or 3 

tablespoons for 1 whole egg. 

• For glazing, in place of an egg 

wash, milk also works or heated 

apricot jam brushed over the 

cooked bread or pastry. 

• For breading, a mix of cornstarch 

or cornflour and water 

can work before coating with 

breadcrumbs. 


butter? 

Here is a general guide for the 

ratio of butter : substitute. 

• Avocado 1:1 

• Coconut oil 1:1 

• Pumpkin puree 1:¾ (Pureed 

squash, butternut, and 

sometimes kumara can also be 

used) 

• Olive and vegetable oil 1:¾ 

• Applesauce 1:½ 

• Nut butters 1:1 (but use half 

nut butter and half oil) 


yoghurt? 

Sour cream, silken tofu, 

coconut yoghurt or cream/milk 

all make great substitutes for 

yoghurt and work using a 1:1 

ratio!

1 cup water or cooled black

Directions 

Heat oven to 175 deg C/155 deg

or lining with baking paper. 

Sift the dry ingredients into

Te Aratai College: 

Who We Are and How We Get There 

At Te Aratai College we have four uara-values that we use to inform what is important in the 

teaching and learning that occurs in our space. 

The uara-values that we hold dear and 

celebrate are: Manaakitanga, Whanaungatanga, 

Rangatiratanga and Tūrangawaewae. They 

embody our way of being so we encourage 

and practise our uara in everything we do, from 

our school philosophy through to our teaching 

spaces, curriculum and relationships. 

We start with Tūrangawaewae as the basis 

of our learning. When a student feels a sense 

of belonging they can then begin to build 

on the other uara. In our tohu-logo we see 

Tūrangawaewae in the base, the waka we share 

and navigate together. 

There have been a number of ākonga-learners 

recently demonstrating Tūrangawaewae for 

our kura. One group is our Pacific students 

representing Te Aratai College at Canterbury 

Polyfest. We were so proud to see this group 

of performers in a vibrant celebration of Pacific 

culture, language and identity through song and 

dance. 

Manaakitanga and Whanaungatanga are 

symbolised in our logo as the awa-rivers, 

representing the Ōtākaro and Ōpāwaho rivers, 

either side of the central maunga-mountain. 

Manaakitanga is the process of showing respect, 

generosity and care for others. Whanaungatanga 

is a relationship through shared experiences 

providing people with a sense of belonging. 

These uara are the life force that brings our 

students together. When a learner feels 

connected to their kura they can create 

relationships for learning and life-long friendships. 

They also learn how to care for themselves, 

each other and their environment. Ākonga who 

epitomise these uara are at the heart of what 

makes a community. 

Recently, Te Aratai learner 

Dormay Lasafio represented 

Canterbury in the Rugby League 

Nines Tournament and received 

the MVP, as well as representing 

Canterbury in the UC Rugby Cup 

last year. Dormay, and her sister 

Alexsandra, have also received 

Toloa Scholarships. These 

scholarships are awarded to Pacific 

students excelling in STEAM 

(Science, Technology, Engineering, 

Arts and Maths) subjects. 

These successes showcase 

Dormay’s connection to 

her community, her teamwork, and her 

ambassadorship. 

In a similar vein, Ashlin Chandra is a 

recent graduate of Te Aratai College who 

has featured in local and national media 

for her philanthropy. Ashlin was part of 

the Generation Give programme that 

helps young leaders give back to their 

communities, while being a role model for 

other youngsters. Her dedication to helping 

young people with their mental health, 

education, and escaping poverty, helped 

raise $20,000 for Generation Give. Her dedication 

and passion for helping others was recently 

recognised nationally, with her being awarded a 

scholarship by the Milford Foundation to help with 

her tertiary studies. 

Rangatiratanga is our final uara-value. 

Rangatiratanga is associated with sovereignty 

but extends itself to leadership, autonomy, and 

self-determination. In our tohu-logo we recognize 

the central maunga-mountain as Pae Maunga 

- Kā Tiritiri o Te Moana, the Southern Alps. The 

line in the middle represents the pathway 

our students take on their journey; their selfactualisation, 

the lofty mountain to which 

they strive and aspire to. 

Te Aratai College nurtures future leaders and 

encourages ākonga-learners to demonstrate 

Rangatiratanga in everything they do. 

Over the last couple of years learners 

in our senior Social Science Business 

courses have secured spots on conference 

trips to learn about entrepreneurship in 

China, Latin America, and an immersive 

two-day “Entrepreneurs in 

Action’’ course in Wellington. 

Te Aratai has also had many 

successful teams from our Year 

13 business classes competing 

in the Young Enterprise Scheme 

(YES), a competition where 

students learn key business skills 

and compete against schools 

nationally by setting up their own 

businesses. Recently, teams 

have been featured extensively 

in local media and received a 

lot of positive feedback from the 

community, including local MPs, 

news media, and even taking the 

title of winners of the 2019 Canterbury Young 

Enterprise product launch. This course has 

become a hotbed of creativity and leadership in 

Te Aratai College. 

We have also been honoured with further 

examples of Rangatiratanga with our graduating 

students receiving an impressive number of 

tertiary scholarships. Last year we had leaving 

Yr 13s who received over $500,000 (yes, over 

half a million dollars!) in university scholarships. 

These deserving students demonstrated a wide 

range of value requirements across several 

universities: academic achievement, resilience, 

leadership, excellence, cultural contributions, 

social engagement, overcoming adversity, and 

many other indicators. These scholarships 

provided an amazing boost for these young 

people jump-starting their tertiary journey, with 

the fees, cash, catered accommodation, summer 

school programmes and mentoring support they 

provided. 

We are delighted that our uara-values contribute 

to our learners’ positive pathways.
