House sells for almost<br />
$1 million more than RV<br />
New auction<br />
record for<br />
suburb<br />
• By Nikki Preston<br />
AN IMPRESSIVE home in<br />
Avonhead has left the suburb’s<br />
previous record for dust, selling<br />
under the hammer for $2.2<br />
million, almost $1m more than<br />
its new RV.<br />
The five-bedroom, threebathroom<br />
home on Westall<br />
Lane was snapped up by out-oftowners<br />
wanting to secure it as<br />
their family home.<br />
There were<br />
11 registered<br />
bidders at<br />
the auction<br />
last week,<br />
but only four<br />
got a chance<br />
to bid as the<br />
Adam<br />
Heazlewood<br />
price rose in<br />
increments of<br />
$100,000 then<br />
$50,000.<br />
Bayleys listing agent Adam<br />
Heazlewood said it was a “huge”<br />
result and exceeded everyone’s<br />
expectations.<br />
The biggest sale price for<br />
Avonhead last year was $1.5m<br />
for a home on Maidstone Rd –<br />
while the biggest sale price for<br />
the area overall was $1.95m,<br />
paid in 2017 for a house on<br />
Avonhead Rd.<br />
“And this sold for $2.2m, so<br />
a quarter of a million dollars<br />
more,” Heazlewood said.<br />
“Even through the boom of<br />
the market there wasn’t even<br />
anything that touched near this<br />
price.” • Turn to page 5<br />

Dining hall transformed for Grace appeal<br />
IN A JOINT initiative with St<br />
Margaret’s College, Christ’s<br />
College students have supported<br />
the Love Grace x Handbag<br />
Appeal <strong>2023</strong>.<br />
In the college dining hall, instead<br />
of food being packed onto<br />
plates, essential items – such as<br />
hair products, tissues, toothpaste<br />
and sanitary products – were<br />
packed into handbags for the<br />
Christchurch Aunties as part<br />
of the recent Love Grace x Handbag<br />
Appeal.<br />
The aunties group mobilises,<br />
co-ordinates and donates to<br />
help domestic violence agencies,<br />
while the Love Grace x Appeal<br />
aims to empower victims of<br />
domestic abuse in honour of<br />
Grace Millane, a young British<br />
backpacker murdered in<br />
Auckland.<br />
Packed by about 30 students,<br />
the handbags will go to women<br />
in need of an escape from partner<br />
or family violence, supplying<br />
them with personal essentials for<br />
up to a month to help find safety<br />
away from harm at home.<br />
Enthusiastic comments were<br />
heard around the dining hall,<br />
with students remarking on the<br />
importance of knowing “it’ll<br />
help someone out” and suggesting<br />
“we should do this again.”<br />
A rhythm was soon formed<br />
as everyone started packing the<br />
handbags, and this continued<br />
until the very end, with exclamations<br />
at the sheer volume<br />
of packing, fist bumps, and<br />
inspirational comments from the<br />
aunties. More than 100 handbags<br />
were packed.<br />
“To be honest, by the time we<br />
were nearing the end of the essential<br />
items, everyone was a bit<br />
disappointed,” said Christ’s College<br />
head of service Elliott Grey.<br />
“We were right into it, and<br />
everyone loved knowing that<br />
they were getting stuck into<br />
something that’ll go a long way.”<br />
Said students: “We were impressed<br />
with the effort, and having<br />
the straightforward task of<br />
simply stuffing as much stuff in<br />
a handbag as possible and starting<br />
again was very satisfying for<br />
everyone.”<br />
“We should definitely run<br />
something like this again<br />
sometime – all we need are the<br />
handbags.”<br />
For Aunties Christchurch<br />
manager Karon Storr, it was<br />
great to see the students’ enthusiasm.<br />
“Set in the glorious college<br />
dining hall, the teams selected a<br />
bag and made their way around<br />
the bins of basic, extra, and<br />
luxury products until each bag<br />
was brimming with much aroha,<br />
support and hope,” she said.<br />
“It was awesome to find the<br />
students were so engaged in their<br />
task and made such a wonderful<br />
effort to present their filled bags,<br />
in honour of Grace Millane’s<br />
memory.”<br />

Just a quick note to say thank you very much for the professionalism and<br />
care that you have taken selling Eve’s home. One can never underestimate<br />
the level of stress that this process can cause, especially on someone of<br />
mum’s age.<br />
The way you have been patient with her, kept her informed and been<br />
so kind to her has made this so much easier and for that we are very<br />
grateful.<br />

Healthy Homes...<br />
Is yours compliant?<br />
The Healthy Homes standards set out specific and minimum standards for heating,<br />
insulation, ventilation, moisture and drainage, and draught stopping in rental<br />
properties. The standards are designed to provide warmer drier & therefore<br />
healthier homes for tenants in New Zealand.<br />
Healthy Home FAQ’s:<br />
My house is new so will it be compliant?<br />
- Not necessarily, it is not uncommon in new build homes to come up short of the<br />
heating standard as the open plan layout of most new homes increases the area<br />
the heating has to be able to cover.<br />
Does the property have to be up to standard before I can rent it?<br />
- No, for a new tenancy you have 120 days from the start of the tenancy to make<br />
the property compliant.<br />
How will anyone know if the property is compliant or not<br />
- A Healthy Homes statement must accompany all Tenancy Agreement.<br />
Can I conduct my own Healthy Homes Assessment<br />
- Yes but be careful as if you don’t get it right you can be fined up to $900.00 for<br />
providing a false or misleading statement.<br />
What if I don’t get the property up to Standard?<br />
- If the property is not brought up to standard within the 120 days a fine of up to<br />
$7,200.00 can be imposed.<br />
What if I just don’t provide a Healthy Homes Statement?<br />
- Another bad idea, a fine of up to $4,000.00 can be imposed for not providing a<br />
Healthy Homes statement.<br />

investment property, or own an<br />

CHRIST’S COLLEGE students<br />
have slept outside on the<br />
quad to highlight the issue of<br />
homelessness in the city, along<br />
with raising nearly $4000 for the<br />
City Mission.<br />
Organised by Christ’s College<br />
head of service Elliott Grey and<br />
head of boarding Lachie Short,<br />
the overnight sleep-out provided<br />
the boys with a taste of the<br />
reality of being homeless.<br />
A City Mission representative<br />
spoke about life on the streets<br />
during assembly in the lead-up<br />
to the weekend sleep-out, while<br />
an outreach worker visited<br />
the boys on the night to share<br />
his experiences of working to<br />
support those in need.<br />
The boys were also joined on<br />
the quad by executive principal<br />
Garth Wynne and teacher<br />
Graeme Swanson.<br />
“Twenty-five students<br />
gathered on the quad to sow the<br />
seeds of a new service tradition<br />
– Sleepout for Homelessness,”<br />
said Grey and Short.<br />
“Raising just under $4000<br />
for the City Mission, the simple<br />
goal of the event was to raise<br />
awareness and funds for the<br />
incredible efforts of the mission<br />
to support the homeless across<br />
Ōtautahi Christchurch.<br />
FUNDRAISER: Christ’s<br />
College students spent<br />
the night on the quad to<br />
highlight homelessness<br />
and raise money for the<br />
City Mission.<br />
Sleeping rough raises<br />
$4k for City Mission<br />
“After mobile phones had been<br />
handed in, students were armed<br />
with nothing but warm clothes,<br />
a sleeping bag, and a tarpaulin,<br />
to strip away any contact with<br />
the outside world.<br />
“It was quickly made apparent<br />
that it was a rare but beneficial<br />
detox from the loud and busy<br />
digital world that surrounds us,<br />
with some initially finding it<br />
difficult to adjust.”<br />
With little sleep because of<br />
the cool temperatures and the<br />
lack of a pillow, the sleep-out<br />
provided a new perspective<br />
on homelessness for all the<br />
boys.<br />
Phenomenal sale<br />
talk of the town<br />
• From page 1<br />
The sale price is also<br />
significantly higher than<br />
Avonhead’s average property<br />
value, which the latest OneRoof<br />
house price figures have at<br />
$787,000, down 4.4 per cent on<br />
the same time last year.<br />
The Westall Lane home, which<br />
sits on a 1500sqm section and has<br />
an RV of $1.38m, was unique for<br />
the area and 72 groups visited the<br />
open homes, including families<br />
from around the city, emptynesters<br />
and out-of-towners.<br />
“It was a really lovely home,<br />
very flexible floor plan, private<br />
land – big section. People<br />
thought it was a great house. We<br />
had such great feedback about it.”<br />
Heazlewood said the same<br />
property in one of Christchurch’s<br />
more high-end suburbs such<br />
as Fendalton would be worth<br />
$3.5m.<br />
“So, I suppose that’s the real<br />
value for money, but for the area<br />
of Avonhead it’s a phenomenal<br />
sale – a lot of people have been<br />
talking about it over the last<br />
week.”<br />
Heazlewood said there seems<br />
to be increasing demand for good<br />
homes in Avonhead as a property<br />
at 24 Felstead Pl, which is in a<br />
much lower price range than the<br />
Westall Lane home, has also been<br />
getting a lot of attention.<br />
“I can’t put my finger on what<br />
the major change is – that was a<br />
good house and drew people into<br />
the market, but even Felstead Pl<br />
has had better numbers than we<br />
are used to seeing at the moment.<br />
“There’s definitely general<br />
buyer demand<br />
but no one<br />
specifically<br />
saying why.”<br />
Harcourts<br />
salesperson<br />
Zani Polson<br />
said the homes<br />
that seem to<br />
be in demand<br />
in Avonhead<br />
were those that<br />
Zani<br />
Polson<br />
were well-presented and move-in<br />
ready.<br />
She just sold a four-bedroom,<br />
two-bathroom home on Algie<br />
Pl in Avonhead at auction last<br />
week for $975,000 with 48 groups<br />
viewing it.<br />
“It is a nice family-friendly area<br />
that has always held its values<br />
well.”<br />
It was also zoned for good<br />
primary schools and the majority<br />
of Avonhead was zoned for<br />
Burnside High as well, she<br />
said. The close proximity to the<br />
airport also helped.<br />
“A lot of families move in and<br />
they just stay there because they<br />
can and a lot of the houses are<br />
quite substantial so you get some<br />
good longevity out of the homes.”<br />

Pumpkin of a good time<br />
for Bishopdale family<br />
• By Geoff Sloan<br />
THE MUNDY family from<br />
Bishopdale took home the<br />
ultimate prize from the Little<br />
River Pumpkin Festival thanks to<br />
their 211kg entry.<br />
The annual event<br />
caused the small<br />
settlement’s population<br />
to swell from 700 to<br />
more than 2000 at the<br />
weekend, as visitors<br />
checked out the big<br />
pumpkins on display.<br />
Organiser Mel Birch<br />
said the growing event,<br />
first held in 1996,<br />
is now the second<br />
largest pumpkin festival in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
“They had a little competition<br />
between themselves and invited<br />
more friends and then held it<br />
down in the public car park in<br />
Little River.<br />
“It started to get too big for the<br />
car park, so they moved to the<br />
domain. And we’ve just grown<br />
and grown ever since,” she said.<br />
Mel Birch<br />
A number of prizes were up for<br />
grabs, ranging from the smallest<br />
and most perfect pumpkin<br />
through to the ugliest.<br />
However, all eyes were on the<br />
coveted ‘Big Boy’ giant pumpkin<br />
prize, which went to the<br />
Mundy family and their<br />
giant 211kg pumpkin.<br />
Dad Andy said they<br />
had never entered a<br />
pumpkin competition<br />
before.<br />
“We thought there<br />
would be bigger ones.”<br />
But Harley, 6, and<br />
Andy, 9, known as the<br />
“Mundy Bros” had a<br />
different view. “We knew<br />
we would win,” said Harley.<br />
And their secret to growing<br />
enormous pumpkins.<br />
“Lots of watering, chicken<br />
manure and they love sunshine,”<br />
Andy said.<br />
It’s a formula they will use at<br />
the event next year.<br />

All property markets endure times of<br />
change and sometimes these changes<br />
go on to be described as ‘trends’ or<br />
‘transitions’.<br />
A ‘trend’ can be defined as a general<br />
direction in which something is seen to be<br />
developing or changing, while a ‘transition’<br />
may be viewed as an evolutionary process<br />
relating to upheavals or alterations – and<br />
that best describes many of the elements<br />
currently at play in the New Zealand<br />
property market.<br />
Everywhere I go, there’s a sense of caution<br />
as people communicate the fears they<br />
have about the current contraction in<br />
property values and volumes. But this is<br />
nothing new and you don’t have to go far<br />
to find previous market adjustments.<br />
Over the past two decades, the New<br />
Zealand property market has endured<br />
numerous changes.<br />
Here are but a few and, as each occurred,<br />
they invariably felt like the elephant in the<br />
room.<br />
Consider some of the winds that have hit<br />
various markets, in the knowledge that<br />
some of those winds felt like hurricanes.<br />
The Christchurch Earthquakes were a<br />
tragedy which changed the whole look<br />
and feel of our city. Although it’s taken<br />
over a decade to recover, the subsequent<br />
building boom and injection of capital<br />
that followed provided a huge stimulus<br />
to our local economy and has set us on a<br />
pathway to becoming one of the world’s<br />
most exciting cities.<br />
There have also been numerous<br />
Government interventions, including<br />
changes to Loan to Value Ratios (LVRs).<br />
These were introduced in 2014 and I<br />
remember writing about them at the<br />
time! Prior to this, investors and others<br />
could borrow up to 95% of a property’s<br />
value. This feels outrageous today and,<br />
whilst allowing investors to quickly amass<br />
property portfolios, such policies also<br />
created a number of vulnerabilities for<br />
both investors and banks.<br />
These ratios have since been adjusted<br />
seven times, and we have a more<br />
measured set of borrowing processes as a<br />
consequence. This can also be seen in the<br />
tightening of funding for investors through<br />
the introduction of the Responsible<br />
Lending Code, which has made it harder<br />
to take on excessive debt for property<br />
investment. Although some thought the<br />
sky was falling down, after all of these<br />
interventions we’re still here and moving<br />
forward. People are still working on<br />
investing and purchasing property when<br />
their personal circumstances permit. You<br />
see, things never stop completely, they<br />
merely transition.<br />
Now the biggie and that is interest rates.<br />
We are all aware of the hit that’s coming<br />
as those on fixed mortgage terms with<br />
interest rates close to 3% have to adjust<br />
to new rates of 6% or more. There are<br />
going to be enormous challenges, but<br />
there are options to try and stay in the<br />
property market, if at all possible. One<br />
of the solutions is to list and sell, buying<br />
another, smaller/cheaper property on<br />
the same market. Downsizing allows you<br />
to free up capital whilst reducing debt.<br />
Getting good financial advice is essential<br />
and understand that property is always a<br />
long game.<br />
Maybe this is why I’m seeing the<br />
busiest market for first-home buyers<br />
that I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks to<br />
the current property values, homes in a<br />
more affordable price range are becoming<br />
available and selling quickly. This is helped<br />
in no small way by the absence of large<br />
numbers of investors, who are battling<br />
with compliance costs such as those<br />
required for Healthy Homes legislation,<br />
and reduced yields in some quarters, with<br />
changes to interest deductibility being the<br />
final straw for others.<br />
There you have it: a brief overview<br />
from a relatively up-close and personal<br />
perspective, and this is excluding the<br />
incredible high points created by the<br />
post-COVID property market as well as the<br />
diminishing effect that the GFC caused way<br />
back in 2008. In fact, many of the people I<br />
meet can’t even remember that event.<br />
The market is changing and it will<br />
change again and again. There will be<br />
opportunities and casualties. There will<br />
also be new transitions and trends, but<br />
think on this first – since 2003, corelogic.<br />
co.nz has provided data stating that New<br />
Zealand property values have risen by<br />
300%!<br />
This may just provide a small level of<br />
comfort when you consider whether being<br />
in property is the right thing to do.<br />
I leave the decision to you.<br />

Triathlon<br />
Rangi Ruru’s Charlotte Chiles<br />
has capped off a successful few<br />
months with two national titles<br />
at the New Zealand secondary<br />
schools’ triathlon championships<br />
at Glendhu Bay, near Wānaka,<br />
over the weekend.<br />
The year 11 student continued<br />
her stellar form by winning<br />
the under-16 girls’ race in<br />
43m 50secs. Chiles was over a<br />
minute clear of the next fastest<br />
competitor in the event, which<br />
included a 500m swim, a 12km<br />
bike and a 3.75km run.<br />
She also won the under-16<br />
aquathon event, finishing in 15m<br />
42secs.<br />
Rangi’s mixed team of Chiles<br />
and Finella Guttmann secured<br />
silver in the girls’ under-19 super<br />
sprint event.<br />
Last month, Chiles came<br />
second in the intermediate<br />
girls’ race at the South Island<br />
secondary schools triathlon<br />
held in Oamaru, and won the<br />
under-16 girls’ secondary schools<br />
DOUBLE: Rangi Ruru’s Charlotte Chiles (centre) claimed two gold medals at the national<br />

St Andrew’s College’s Sophie<br />
Lampe finished with gold in the<br />
under-14 girls’ triathlon at the<br />
secondary school champs over<br />
the weekend, racing home in<br />
36m 57secs. The under-14 event<br />
consisted of a 350m swim, a<br />
10km bike and a 2.5km run.<br />
Christ’s College under-14<br />
mixed team were second in the<br />
super sprint event.<br />
Volleyball<br />
Christchurch Girls’ High<br />
finished third at the volleyball<br />
nationals after beating St<br />
Andrew’s College in the bronze<br />
medal playoff.<br />
CGHS won the Canterbury<br />
and Mainland tournaments<br />
earlier this month, and went<br />
into the nationals as top seeds<br />
for Canterbury, up against 88<br />
teams.<br />
They lost one match in pool<br />
play against Bethlehem College<br />
(Tauranga), but qualified top of<br />
their pool due to a high set ratio.<br />
After a strong 3-0 win against<br />
Otumoetai College (Tauranga),<br />
in the quarter finals, CGHS faced<br />
Rangitoto College (Auckland) in<br />
their semi-final.<br />
CGHS started strong with a<br />
25-20 first set win but lost the<br />
next three sets to Rangitoto, who<br />
went on to win the tournament.<br />
In the other girls’ semi-final, St<br />
Andrew’s narrowly lost against<br />
Orewa College 3-1, meaning the<br />
two Christchurch schools would<br />
meet in the bronze medal<br />
match.<br />
St Andrew’s won the first set<br />
25-20 but CGHS proved too<br />
strong, winning the last three<br />
sets to finish third.<br />
Rangitoto was the first school<br />
to win both the girls’ and boys’<br />
division 1 grade at the nationals.<br />
Lily Spark (CGHS), Angela<br />
Reupena (CGHS), Eliana Collins<br />
(Burnside) and Molly Morrow<br />
(St Andrew’s) were named in the<br />
girls’ tournament team while<br />
Isaac Weir (Riccarton) and Jova<br />
Waqa (Burnside) made the<br />
boys’ team.<br />

championship after the final went<br />
down to the last point.<br />
The team faced Westlake Boys’<br />
in the decider, after they beat<br />
Tauranga Boys’ 5-1.<br />
Although Westlake prevailed<br />
4-2 over Christ’s, two of the three<br />
matches lost by the Christchurch<br />
school went to three sets.<br />
Jack Hansen-Ratter and<br />
Franklin Barry comfortably won<br />
their doubles match 6-4, 6-3,<br />
and Hansen-Ratter also won his<br />
singles match 7-6, 6-4.<br />
Liam Barrett and Lucas Evans<br />
played doubles in the last match<br />
of the day, and after a hardfought<br />
three sets, went down to<br />
Westlake’s pair 6-1, 4-6, 6-10.<br />
Coach Josh Kim said the<br />
passionate team didn’t give up<br />
until the end.<br />
“I am so proud of their<br />
commitment. They have shown<br />

SHIRLEY BOYS’ High School<br />
are the national secondary<br />
schools’ futsal champions after<br />
three tightly-contested playoffs<br />
in Wellington last week.<br />
They beat St Patrick’s College<br />
Silverstream 1-0 to win the title<br />
for the first time, having never finished<br />
in the top eight in the past.<br />
Shirley were unbeaten in pool<br />
play, and met Rotorua Boys’ in<br />
the quarter finals. The game<br />
finished 2-2, meaning penalties<br />
would decide who progressed to<br />
the semi-finals. Shirley ended up<br />
winning 5-3.<br />
Just three hours later, they<br />
were facing St Patrick’s Wellington<br />
in another penalty shootout<br />
– this time for a spot in the<br />
national final. The team went on<br />
to win 4-2 in the shoot-out after<br />
both teams scored two goals<br />
apiece in regular play.<br />
Goalkeeper Seb Wong won<br />
the golden gloves award for<br />
the tournament for his efforts<br />
throughout the two shoot-outs<br />
and tense final.<br />
Shirley Boys’ teacher in charge<br />
of futsal De vere Silcock said the<br />
team had been training up to<br />
three times a week and had six<br />
year 13 students who had played<br />
together since they were year 9.<br />
“Shirley futsal has been around<br />
for a while now, and the previous<br />
best place was ninth a few years<br />
CHAMPIONS:<br />
Shirley Boys’<br />
High School<br />
won the senior<br />
boys’ national<br />
futsal title for<br />
the first time<br />
in the school’s<br />
history in<br />
Wellington<br />
last week.<br />
Shirley the champs<br />
after close playoffs<br />
back,” Silcock said.<br />
Coach Mark Zimmerman is a<br />
former student at the school, and<br />
has coached the team for the past<br />
three years.<br />
Shirley travelled to the nationals<br />
shortly after they lost to<br />
Lincoln High School in the Canterbury<br />
secondary schools final<br />
earlier this month. They also finished<br />
second in the Christchurch<br />
weekly competition.<br />
At the national tournament, St<br />
Thomas’ of Canterbury College<br />
and Lincoln High School also<br />
made the quarter finals but<br />
lost in close games against St<br />
Patrick’s College Wellington and<br />
Hutt International Boys’ School<br />
respectively.<br />
Foundation breaks<br />
down barriers to<br />
playing rugby<br />
A SENSE OF connection and<br />
belonging inspired passionate<br />
rugby administrator Brent<br />
Goldsmid to help form the<br />
Canterbury Community Rugby<br />
Foundation.<br />
Goldsmid, who has played,<br />
coached, volunteered and<br />
administrated rugby for more<br />
than 40 years, said<br />
the choice between<br />
playing rugby or<br />
not due to financial<br />
pressures has become<br />
a real concern for<br />
him. He established<br />
the foundation<br />
to ensure more<br />
Cantabrians can play<br />
the game.<br />
“With a cost of<br />
living and travel on<br />
the increase, it’s all<br />
too often becoming<br />
a barrier to being involved in<br />
sport,” he said.<br />
“But I believe there’s<br />
plenty of people out there like<br />
me that have had a wonderful<br />
rugby experience and enjoy<br />
life-long friendships because of<br />
the game are willing and able to<br />
give back but aren’t sure how to<br />
do so.”<br />
The foundation accepts<br />
donations and bequeaths<br />
Brent Goldsmid<br />
Thursday <strong>April</strong> 6 <strong>2023</strong><br />
which it distributes directly to<br />
grassroots rugby.<br />
“The money could be used for<br />
subs, boots, travel, anything that<br />
enables people of all ages to be<br />
involved in rugby.<br />
“Our focus is 100 per cent<br />
on community rugby and<br />
participation.”<br />
Goldsmid said<br />
there are some<br />
aspects of rugby the<br />
foundation won’t<br />
fund.<br />
“Canterbury Rugby<br />
does a really good<br />
job at managing<br />
and funding the<br />
pathways side of<br />
rugby as well as the<br />
semi-professional<br />
side like NPC.<br />
“So we wouldn’t<br />
consider things like<br />
that. That’s their space. Ours is<br />
very much about participation<br />
and helping to remove any of<br />
those barriers.”<br />
Goldsmid is on the<br />
foundation’s board with Natasha<br />
Wong, Julie Patterson, Giuliana<br />
Petronelli and Peter Jensen.<br />

Ease into autumn with a pie and pasta<br />
Nigel Slater takes<br />
it easy with a tasty<br />
cheese and onion pie,<br />
and smoky veggie<br />
pasta supper<br />
Sauerkraut, fontina and<br />
walnut galette<br />
Serves 4<br />
Ingredients<br />
For the pastry:<br />
250g plain flour<br />
salt – a large pinch<br />
1 tsp caraway seeds<br />
150g butter, cold<br />
1 egg yolk, beaten<br />
2 Tbsp iced water<br />
For the filling:<br />
2 onions, medium to large<br />
3 Tbsp olive oil<br />
250g sauerkraut<br />
225g fontina, or other firm<br />
grating cheese<br />
10g parsley leaves<br />
100g walnuts<br />
1 Tbsp grain mustard<br />
1 egg, beaten<br />
Directions<br />
Make the pastry: Put the flour<br />
in a large mixing bowl and add<br />
the salt and caraway seeds. Cut<br />
the butter into small pieces, add<br />
to the flour, then rub the two<br />
together with your thumbs and<br />
fingertips. (Alternatively use<br />
a food processor.) When you<br />

have a texture that resembles<br />
fresh breadcrumbs, stir in the<br />
beaten egg yolk and enough<br />
iced water (2-3 Tbsp) to bring<br />
everything together into a soft,<br />
rollable dough. Wrap and leave<br />
in the fridge to rest for about 30<br />
minutes.<br />
Make the filling: Peel the<br />
onions and finely slice them into<br />
rings. Set the oven at 180 deg C.<br />
Warm the oil in a deep pan set<br />
over a moderate heat, add the<br />
onions and let them cook until<br />
pale gold and soft. This will take<br />
a good 25 minutes, stirring regularly.<br />
Add the sauerkraut to the<br />
softened onions. Coarsely grate<br />
the cheese and set aside. Roughly<br />
chop the parsley and the walnuts,<br />
then stir into the softened<br />
onions with the mustard. Set<br />
aside while you form the tart.<br />
Line a large baking sheet with<br />
baking parchment. Remove the<br />
pastry from the fridge and roll<br />
into a circle 30cm in diameter.<br />
Carefully lift on to the lined baking<br />
sheet. Stir the grated cheese,<br />
reserving some for later, into<br />
the onions and sauerkraut, then<br />
season with a little salt and black<br />
pepper. Pile the filling on to the<br />
pastry leaving a large gap, about<br />
6-7cm, around the edge.<br />
Fold the edge of the pastry<br />
up and slightly over the filling.<br />
Brush the pastry rim with beaten<br />

Pappardelle with greens<br />
and yoghurt<br />
If you want to go dairy-free,<br />
you could toss the pasta and<br />
greens with a little chilli oil<br />
instead.<br />
Serves 2-3<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 onions, medium to large<br />
3 Tbsp olive oil<br />
250g chard leaves, or use<br />
beetroot tops<br />
200g spinach<br />
200g pappardelle<br />
2 cloves garlic<br />
50g butter<br />
100ml natural yoghurt<br />
smoked paprika<br />
EGGS-TRAORDINARY<br />
Directions<br />
Peel the onions and cut them<br />
into thin rings. Warm the oil in<br />
a flameproof casserole or a deepsided<br />
frying pan over a moderate<br />
heat, add the onions and let them<br />
cook for about 20-25 minutes,<br />
stirring occasionally, until soft,<br />

shiny and deep gold in colour.<br />
Remove the onions from the pan<br />
and set aside.<br />
Wash the chard leaves or beetroot<br />
tops, then return the onion<br />
pan to the heat (you can wipe<br />
it out if you wish, but you really<br />
don’t need to), then add the<br />
leaves, still wet from washing.<br />
Cover tightly and let them cook<br />
in their own steam for a minute<br />
or two, then turn the leaves over,<br />
cook for a minute longer, then<br />
remove and drain.<br />
Repeat with the spinach.<br />
Gently squeeze the water from<br />
the chard and spinach, then<br />
roughly chop and add them to<br />
the onions.<br />
Bring a deep pan of water to<br />
the boil. Salt it generously, then<br />
drop in the pappardelle and leave<br />
to cook for about 7 minutes or<br />
until the ribbons of pasta are<br />
tender.<br />
Peel and thinly slice the garlic.<br />
Melt the butter in the empty pan<br />
in which you cooked the greens<br />
over a moderate heat, add the<br />
garlic and let it cook for a couple<br />
of minutes until it starts to turn<br />
golden, then add the chopped<br />
leaves.<br />
Drain the pasta, leaving about<br />
50ml of water in the pan, then<br />
toss it with the onions and<br />
greens.<br />
Transfer the onions, greens<br />
and pasta to shallow bowls, then<br />
trickle with yoghurt and dust<br />
with a little smoked paprika.<br />

Leaders in Learning<br />
Principals Note<br />
Kia ora Koutou<br />
Term 1 <strong>2023</strong> has been an<br />
exciting start to the year. It was<br />
interesting to look back at this<br />
time last year. We had been<br />
rostering year levels off to cope<br />
with COVID during Term 1 in<br />
2022. How times have changed<br />
and we now seem to be back<br />
in full swing, albeit with some<br />
lingering COVID issues.<br />
We have really enjoyed having<br />
our full school on-site with lots<br />
of activities being resumed.<br />
Re-engaging with many parent<br />
on-site activities, including the<br />
BBQ welcome for all Māori<br />
and Pasifika students and Whānau, Year 13 student and parent evening, Year<br />
9 Divisional parents evenings, Year 11 NCEA parent evening and Year 9 and 10<br />
parent evenings. Meeting with whānau is really important as we re-establish<br />
those face to face connections and relationships.<br />
In Term 1 we analyse our previous years examination results. Our results continue<br />
to be strong. Our students perform well above National in their NCEA results.<br />
Our scholarship results are some of the best in the country, with a number of<br />
students gaining outstanding scholarships.<br />
Following the retirement of Phil Holstein, the Principal recruitment process was<br />
completed at the start of Term. We look forward to welcoming Scott Haines in<br />
Term 3 as our new Principal. Scott is a highly experienced educator and leader.<br />
He has served as Principal in two different New Zealand secondary schools<br />
during the last 14 years, including the past 7 years as Principal of Waimea<br />
College in Nelson.<br />
Uniform<br />
The Burnside High School<br />
Uniform Shop is situated<br />
in A Block, adjacent to<br />
the staff car park off<br />
Greers Road. The shop<br />
stocks a full range of<br />
new uniform items along<br />
with some second hand<br />
items. Opening Hours<br />
are Monday lunchtime<br />
1.00-2.00pm and<br />
Tuesday after school<br />
2.45-4.00pm.<br />
Payment is by cash or<br />

With excellent results from Level 3 NCEA, these results were<br />
equally impressive.<br />
This year has seen the completion and start to building projects. The<br />
refurbishment of our swimming pool has been completed. At a time where water<br />
safety is a continuing priority, this facility is being well-used. It has been great to<br />
see both students and staff enjoying the new pool. We have also seen the start<br />
of building our 25 classroom Science and Technology block, Pukehinau. Naylor-<br />
Love are building this substantial building. This week we have seen the concrete<br />
pours happening and through time-lapse photography we have been observing<br />
the progress. This building is due for completion mid 2024.<br />
As I write this Summer<br />
Tournament week is in full<br />
swing. This is the first time<br />
in two years that we have<br />
been able to field full teams<br />
in competitions and send<br />
them around the country. It<br />
is a pleasure, once again,<br />
to see the fulfillment that<br />
the students get from these<br />
extra-curricular activities. A<br />
huge thank-you goes to the<br />
parents and staff that make<br />
these activities happen.<br />
As we begin the <strong>April</strong><br />
holidays, we wish our families<br />
and communities a restful<br />
break over Easter time.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Ground moisture barrier<br />
under low sub-floor<br />
Now with the colder and wetter weather on<br />
its way, home owners are focusing on ways<br />
to make their homes comfortable, warm<br />
and healthy for their families throughout<br />
winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects<br />
many of our older properties which suffer<br />
from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier.<br />
In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many<br />
people have relocated to homes that suffer<br />
from rising damp which can be associated<br />
with health problems. Independent tests have<br />
shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise<br />
from the ground and enter a house every day,<br />
leading to mildew, mould, condensation and<br />
musty smells. Moulds can produce various<br />
allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and<br />
very young are especially vulnerable.<br />
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a<br />
locally owned and operated firm. The team<br />
understands the problems caused by rising<br />
damp and are there to help. They will come<br />
to your damp home and pump a lightweight,<br />
flowable foam concrete under your timber<br />
floored home.<br />
While insulation is important, it has been<br />
recognised that it is dampness that is the real<br />
villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes<br />
Standards introduced by the government<br />
effective from the 1st July 2019 now has<br />
a requirement to install ground moisture<br />
barriers, a key element in the armory to fight<br />
moisture in the home.<br />
Dr Larry Bellamy BE (hons) PhD in a<br />
report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under<br />
Timber Floors: An Energy Analysis assessed<br />
the effects of placing Foam Concrete over<br />
damp soil and had this to say: Condensation<br />
on the underside of a timber floor can occur<br />
where the floor is suspended over damp<br />
ground and the inside air temperature falls<br />
close to the crawl space air temperature.<br />
Much energy is required to vaporize moisture<br />
that penetrates the structure. By avoiding<br />
underfloor condensation, foam concrete can<br />
reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%.<br />
• Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most<br />
cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier<br />
under the suspended wooden floor of your<br />
home, even when there is no crawl space.<br />

ATTACK RISING DAMP<br />
Keep cosy with<br />
RD Petroleum<br />
this winter<br />
RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight<br />
for farm and rural residents around the<br />
Canterbury region, however now days urban<br />
residents also enjoy the same excellent<br />
customer service for which RDP is known for<br />
in rural communities, through their home<br />
heating diesel.<br />
RDP began its home heating diesel delivery<br />
service to the lower South Island’s main urban<br />
centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin<br />
and Invercargill a number of years ago.<br />
Customer demand has continued to increase<br />
year upon year, and RDP has responded<br />
with specialised improvements to its delivery<br />
equipment.<br />
The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating<br />
diesel in each urban centre are drawn from<br />
the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This<br />
means they have the latest communication<br />
and GPS tracking technology on board, so<br />
the operations team always know where they<br />
are and how far away they are from their next<br />
delivery stop.<br />
RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come<br />
equipped with a specially-designed hose,<br />
through which the diesel is pumped from<br />
the truck into house tanks. The length of<br />
the hose allows the trucks to access tanks<br />

Hybrid with luxury and speed<br />
THERE ARE an ever-increasing<br />
number of plug-in EVs landing<br />
in our market, most of them<br />
sport utility vehicles, and that is<br />
what the market is demanding.<br />
However, if it’s a sedan you<br />
are after and want to explore the<br />
luxury market, then Mercedes-<br />
Benz may have the car for you –<br />
the C350 e – it is a plug-in hybrid<br />
with a 2-litre petrol engine.<br />
Even though it joins the C-<br />
Class series, it lands here in one<br />
specification only that lists at<br />
$111,200. It’s around $6000 and<br />
$23,000 more expensive than its<br />
non-hybrid counterparts, but it<br />
will give you fuel usage benefits<br />
and will travel up to 100km on<br />
purely electric.<br />
According to Mercedes-Benz<br />
the C 350 e will provide a combined<br />
cycle fuel usage average<br />
of 1.5-litre per 100km. That is,<br />
of course, at best possible usage<br />
– the readouts were listing<br />
around 7l/100km during my<br />
testing time, which in real-world<br />
terms is about as good as you can<br />
expect on a commute or highway<br />
run. At 100km/h the engine sips<br />
fuel at the rate of 5l/100km.<br />
Under the bonnet sits a fourcylinder<br />
turbocharged engine.<br />
This is much the same unit that<br />
is fitted to the C 200 and C 300,<br />
although the power outputs<br />
are down significantly to the<br />
latter at 150kW against 190kw<br />
and 320Nm against 400Nm.<br />
However, when you have another<br />
95kW and 440Nm from the electric<br />
motor it’s as strong under<br />
the bonnet as it needs to be.<br />
Cleverly, power is directed<br />
through a fairly traditional ninespeed<br />
automatic transmission.<br />
Such are the number of ratios<br />
drive is seamless and smooth,<br />
well the entire driving experience<br />
is smooth, but the point<br />
I’m trying to make as well is<br />
that the C 350 e is little different<br />
to drive than any of its C-Class<br />
stablemates.<br />
The C350 e is stunningly quiet<br />
and civilised and it has impeccable<br />
handling manners. Riding<br />
on high quality 18in Bridgestone<br />
rubber there is a solid footprint<br />
on the road surface that translates<br />
to a very pointy feel at the<br />
steering wheel. Turn-in is precise<br />
and any body movement over<br />
the suspension can be discounted,<br />
at just 1.4m tall gravitational<br />
forces aren’t high.<br />
The evaluation car was<br />
showing an almost 800km<br />
distance to empty (petrol)<br />
when I picked it up. After a long<br />
highway drive of 450km I took<br />
it back to the dealership still<br />
showing 500km to empty. That’s<br />
just an example of how thrifty<br />
the C 350 e is on the highway<br />
and associated commute.<br />
Both a fast charge cable (type<br />
2) and a domestic supply cable<br />
are included, the latter has good<br />
length at 8m, perfect for my<br />
unique charging situation at<br />
home.<br />
Mercedes-Benz is launching<br />
head-first into the realm of electric<br />
vehicle transport, it was just<br />
a few weeks ago I drove the fully<br />
electric EQS, both have impressed<br />
me simply through quality and<br />
the commitment to provide a<br />
natural driving experience, one<br />
that you would find in any new<br />
model from the marque.<br />

RAY WHITE PAPANUI<br />
Does your new CCC Rating Valuation reflect<br />
your properties current market value?<br />
The newly released Christchurch<br />
City Council rating values (RV) may<br />
have created curiosity as to how your<br />
own properties’ new RV aligns with<br />
your actual current market value?<br />
The city’s average home rating value<br />
is $774,000, based on QV’s August<br />
2022 snapshot of house prices.<br />
This is a jump of 47.3% from about<br />
$525,000 three years ago.<br />
Rating valuations are typically<br />
calculated as a desktop exercise,<br />
based on the age, size and type of<br />
building, and the size and location<br />
of the land, with only a few sample<br />
sites visited. They are not intended as<br />
market valuations. An agent’s current<br />
market valuation is instead based<br />
on a visit to your home and then<br />
analysing recent surrounding sales of<br />
comparable properties.<br />
This <strong>April</strong> at Ray White Papanui<br />
we are offering, without charge or<br />
obligation, a current market appraisal<br />
for your home.<br />
This assessment unlike your Council<br />
Rating Valuation is based on a visit to<br />
your home and then analysing recent<br />
surrounding sales of comparable<br />
properties. Contact the team at Ray<br />
White Papanui, to arrange a current<br />
market value assessment for your<br />
property.<br />
Every homeowner who has a free<br />
appraisal update during the month of<br />
<strong>April</strong> will also go into the draw for one<br />
of three$100 Pezzy Cards.<br />
We look forward to hearing from you.<br />
Does your new council<br />
rating valuation align<br />
with your properties<br />
current market value?<br />
