VALUABLE: Rangi Ruru goalie Zoe Crisp (red cap) was awarded most valuable goalie at the recent South Island<br />
secondary schools’ water polo championships.<br />
Rangi Ruru, St Bede’s eye<br />
water polo national titles<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
RANGI RURU Girls’ School<br />
and St Bede’s College will be<br />
the top South Island teams<br />
heading into the New Zealand<br />
secondary schools’ water polo<br />
championships.<br />
Both schools’ recent regional<br />
success puts them in good stead<br />
for the national tournament,<br />
which is set to start today and<br />
run until Sunday at the Jellie<br />
Park and Tairoa: QEII recreation<br />
and sport centres.<br />
The schools have previously<br />
been the best performing South<br />
Island teams at the national<br />
tournament, which has been<br />
dominated by North Island<br />
schools over recent years.<br />
Rangi Ruru beat Western<br />
Springs College 9-4 to finish<br />
in a respectable fifth place last<br />
year, while St Bede’s were 11th<br />
in a competitive boys’ division<br />
one grade.<br />

Residents<br />
plead with<br />
council<br />
to fix<br />
flooding<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
AVONDALE RESIDENTS have<br />
pleaded with the city council to<br />
resolve their flooding issues.<br />
After watching the flood<br />
waters rise around her Tenby Pl<br />
property again on <strong>April</strong> 1, Tenby<br />
Action Group co-ordinator Heidi<br />
Oudemans spent<br />
last Wednesday<br />
presenting her<br />
concerns to city<br />
councillors.<br />
A staff report at<br />
the meeting stated<br />
it was “not possible<br />
to ‘fix flooding’<br />
and some level of<br />
Heidi<br />
Oudemans<br />
flood risk would be present even<br />
if investment were significantly<br />
increased”.<br />
“There will always be a bigger<br />
flood event, or areas that cannot<br />
be practicably remedied.”<br />
The report said the community<br />
and council would have to accept<br />
some surface water ponding<br />
and private property flooding<br />
that could be addressed through<br />
physical work.<br />
But Oudemans said there were<br />
days when residents were unable<br />
to leave their properties.<br />
“There is a pregnant lady down<br />
the road who is worried about if<br />
the ambulance can get in, there is<br />
an 81-year-old lady who can’t get<br />
out at all, and I can only get to my<br />
letterbox then I’m blocked in by<br />
water.” •Turn to page 4<br />

IN FORM: Christchurch karter Zach Tucker (left) has become the first driver ever to win the Mini ROK national title three times in a row, while South<br />
Island champion Caleb Cross won the Rotax Light class.<br />

Karters shine at NZ sprint champs<br />
Christchurch’s Zach Tucker<br />
has stolen the limelight with<br />
commanding victories at<br />
the KartSport New Zealand<br />
national sprint championships in<br />
Palmerston North.<br />
The 12-year-old has become<br />
the first driver to earn three New<br />
Zealand championships in a<br />
row in Vortex Mini ROK, a key<br />
development class.<br />
Nine categories were decided<br />
at the championships, which<br />
attracted over 180 karters from<br />
throughout the country to<br />
the Manawatu & TRC Toyota<br />
Raceway over Easter, marking<br />
the biggest event in more than a<br />
decade.<br />
Tucker, in his final year at<br />
Medbury School, was in supreme<br />
form throughout, under the<br />
guidance of the WKS Kartstore<br />
team in Christchurch. He was<br />
the fastest in qualifying, and<br />
won all three heats, the pre-final<br />
and the final ahead of clubmate<br />
Henry Fisher and Aryan Lala<br />
from Palmerston North. There<br />
were three red flag stoppages, but<br />
Tucker was able to control the<br />
restarts to dominate.<br />
Tucker’s third straight title in<br />
the class betters the previous<br />
two in a row won by US-based<br />
pro racer Jacob Douglas, Matthew<br />
Penrose and Supercars star<br />
Fabian Coulthard.<br />
Hometown karter Michael<br />
McCulloch, from the N-Zed<br />
Motorsport team, drove his<br />
Parolin kart to victory in the<br />
DVS Senior class after winning<br />
one heat and finishing on the<br />
podium in the other two. With<br />
high-flying Ayrton Williams disqualified<br />
post-race from second,<br />
McCulloch won the title from<br />
Christchurch pair, Dylan Jessop<br />
and Chris Cox.<br />
The DVS Junior class was<br />
dominated by Tauranga’s Blake<br />
Corin who won two of the three<br />
heats, and the pre-final. He was<br />
threatened early in the final by<br />
North Island champion Ashton<br />
Phipps from Auckland and later<br />
by Christchurch’s Izaak Fletcher,<br />
who had the fastest lap time<br />
on the way to runner-up spot.<br />
Marlborough’s Arthur Broughan<br />
was third.<br />
The Rotax Light class attracted<br />
27 starters with the bunched<br />
fields providing plenty of tussles<br />
and bangs. Marlborough’s William<br />
Exton won two heats and<br />
the pre-final to start off the front<br />
for the early lead. South Island<br />
champion Caleb Cross, who won<br />
the opening heat, pushed to the<br />
lead with Exton dropping back.<br />
That promoted McCulloch,<br />
chasing a second title on the day,<br />
up to second place with another<br />
local, Jackson Rooney into third.<br />
In the tightest of battles at the<br />
front, Cross held on to claim the<br />
honours and further reward for<br />
Matt Hamilton’s Christchurchbased<br />
team. Rooney and Bewley,<br />
who crossed the line third and<br />
fourth would both suffer from<br />
pushback bumper penalties,<br />
promoting Brad Hewson to the<br />
number three spot.<br />
The Cadet ROK class is subject<br />
to an appeal hearing, with<br />
Christchurch nine-year-old Iver<br />
Spence the provisional winner<br />
after winning all three heats.<br />
As well as New Zealand<br />
titles, the championships were<br />
the penultimate rounds of the<br />
Hampton Downs NZ Racing<br />
Academy KartStars Series, which<br />
offers $50,000 in prizes, and the<br />
ROK Cup, with entry to the ROK<br />
Superfinal in Italy at stake.<br />
Updated points in the Kart-<br />
Stars Series and ROK Cup will<br />
be announced this week as both<br />
competitions reach a conclusion<br />
at the final round in Rotorua<br />
next month.<br />

Some flooding<br />
impossible to fix<br />
LUCKY ARROW…<br />
Arrow, a 3 year old<br />
Whippet is one lucky<br />
dog. Whilst galavanting<br />
out with his mate on a<br />
Saturday, he dived into a<br />
pile of rubbish and came<br />
out with a huge rod of<br />
bamboo sticking out of<br />
his sternal area.<br />
He was rushed to<br />
McMaster & Heap and<br />
on arrival Arrow seemed<br />
quite bizarrely chilled out,<br />
with no visible blood.<br />
The nurses tried to get<br />
hold of Steve and myself but we were deep into a 56km bike ride<br />
to Godley Heads and back, so we didn’t hear our phones.<br />
Luckily for Arrow, our surgeon Kirsty was in CHCH so she flew to the clinic to<br />
assess the situation and remove the obvious foreign body.<br />
Kirsty quickly assessed the scene in the car, made sure Arrow was stable before<br />
moving him into our treatment area. Kirsty was worried the bamboo had<br />
penetrated Arrows chest cavity, compromising ventilation and cardiac output.<br />
Arrow was immediately placed on intravenous fluids, given pain medications,<br />
blood work and radiographs performed to assess the extent of the damage.<br />
Miraculously the 20cm rod of bamboo had not gone into the chest cavity ( no<br />
pneumothorax), rather it had entered through the ventral chest, headed up<br />
under the arm but not made its exit point.<br />
Arrow was carefully anaesthetised and the bamboo was gently removed in<br />
many sections, as it would have been dangerous to just yank it out. It was<br />
attached to the subcuticular tissues and we didn’t want a massive bleed. The<br />
area was thoroughly flushed and all the small fragments of bamboo removed.<br />
A large grenade drain was placed to safely allow drainage of inflammatory fluid<br />
and blood.<br />
Arrow spent Saturday night at the CHCH Afterhours clinic where his ongoing care<br />
and medications continued throughout the night. He was discharged the next<br />
day and is doing so well.<br />
This case highlights that McMaster & Heap are all about teamwork, great<br />
communication and our patients coming first. Our two Saturday scheduled vets<br />
were fully booked with consultations until 3pm so Arrows surgery would have<br />
been delayed, possibly with consequences.<br />
Dr Kirsty didn’t hesitate to stop what she was doing and race to work to take care<br />
of Arrow.<br />
Steve and I are so proud of our team - they all care so much about their patients<br />
and their colleagues, going that extra mile, which in Arrows case was required.<br />
Ironic really that Arrow had impaled a length of bamboo, in actual fact similar to<br />
an “arrowhead”.<br />

For over a decade,<br />
Oudemans has watched<br />
floodwaters rise outside<br />
her Avondale home and<br />
trap her and residents of 40<br />
other homes on her street,<br />
potentially for days on end.<br />
It happens every single<br />
time it rains, and the locals<br />
have had enough.<br />
Oudemans told city<br />
councillors it doesn’t take a<br />
large weather event for the<br />
street to flood, with only<br />
a couple of hours of rain<br />
leading to days of waiting<br />
for the water to drain away.<br />
A resident on<br />
Newport St said the<br />
floodwaters can be “quite<br />
confronting” and was worried<br />
about sinkholes and<br />
other hazards.<br />
“We just want to turn<br />
our pond back to pavement,”<br />
the resident said.<br />
Oudemans also expressed<br />
concerns about<br />
long-term damage to<br />
house footings. Mayor Phil<br />
Mauger is no stranger to<br />
working in flooded areas,<br />
having taken matters into<br />
his own hands and digging<br />
out a trench in Bexley red<br />

voted to prioritise works<br />

problem.<br />
Mauger visited the<br />
flood affected area around<br />
Tenby Pl and Newport St<br />
during heavy rain. He told<br />
residents he thought the<br />
problem was to do with<br />
a drain outlet at Porritt<br />
Park not draining quickly<br />
enough. He said the city<br />
council will get a report<br />
done and come back to the<br />
residents.<br />
The city council report<br />
tabled at the meeting<br />
said there may never be a<br />

questioned city council<br />
staff whether enough<br />
material was being<br />
removed from rivers and<br />
whether more common<br />
dredging could be an<br />
option, something he said<br />
was a common occurrence<br />
pre-earthquake.<br />
Council staff responded<br />
by saying dredging is not<br />
a simple process and that<br />
multiple factors had to be<br />
considered including bank<br />
stability.<br />
The city council decided<br />
to develop a prioritised list<br />
of works, but staff warned<br />
the scale of the task limited<br />
the city council’s ability to<br />
address all areas at pace<br />
and significant time would<br />
be needed to complete all<br />
the work.<br />

•From page 1<br />
Auckland’s Rangitoto College<br />
took out both the boys’ and<br />
girls’ national titles last year,<br />
but North Island champions<br />
Diocesan School for Girls<br />
and Auckland’s Sacred Heart<br />
College look to be favourites<br />
this year.<br />
It will be the first time both<br />
the girls’ and boys’ grades<br />
are hosted in Christchurch,<br />
although the girls’ division one<br />
tournament has been held here<br />
twice previously.<br />
Rangi Ruru will be hoping<br />
to continue their dominant<br />
form in the girls’ division<br />
following the South Island<br />
championships, where they<br />
beat rivals St Margaret’s<br />
College 9-2 in the tournament<br />
final.<br />
The team scored 68 goals<br />
throughout the competition<br />
and conceded 11, with the<br />
highest score recorded by a<br />
Rangi Ruru opponent just four<br />
goals by Villa Maria College in<br />
the semi-final.<br />
St Bede’s had a similar run at<br />
the South Island tournament,<br />
scoring an average of 18 goals<br />
per game and conceding just 12<br />
in their six games.<br />
The team overcame<br />
Christchurch Boys’ High <strong>13</strong>-4<br />
in the final to take out the<br />
regional title in what was their<br />
closest game of the tournament.<br />
Both Rangi Ruru and<br />
St Bede’s also swept the<br />
tournament awards, with Aggie<br />
Weston and Joshua Fraher<br />
taking out most valuable<br />
players while Zoe Crisp and<br />
Angus Nevin were awarded the<br />
most valuable goalies.<br />
The national division one<br />
competitions will be held<br />
at Jellie Park and Tairoa:<br />
QEII, while the division two<br />
tournament will be played in<br />
Auckland this week.<br />
WINNERS: South Island water polo champions Rangi Ruru will be competing for the national title. Right – St Bede’s College will be looking to continue<br />

Festival offers walk or wheel<br />
around the Coastal Pathway<br />
KAREN BRILL’S walking bike<br />
has allowed her to get her life<br />
back.<br />
Karen was struggling with<br />
her weight, had damaged lungs,<br />
difficulty breathing and severe<br />
arthritis.<br />
“In 2020, I went to church and<br />
couldn’t even walk five metres<br />
without needing to take a rest. I<br />
disliked not being able to walk<br />
and live a normal life, and finally<br />
decided that I’d had enough.”<br />
So Karen bought a large<br />
walking frame, hoping it would<br />
extend her mobility. Despite<br />
taking this step, she reached<br />
another hurdle.<br />
“The walker was so wide<br />
I couldn’t even get through<br />
doorframes with it. I put up with<br />
it for a few months, but in early<br />
2021 I thought it was ridiculous.<br />
So I went online and stumbled<br />
across the Alinker walking bike.”<br />
Karen said before the Alinker,<br />
any sort of exercise was hard.<br />
“I was 150kg and I couldn’t<br />
even get to the letterbox. My<br />
neighbour brought in my mail<br />
and took out my bins for me, and<br />
friends picked me up to take me<br />
to church.”<br />
The new walking bike, created<br />
by Dutch-Canadian inventor<br />
Barbara Alink, allowed Karen to<br />
out of her home and complete<br />
her daily errands by herself.<br />
The walking bike also helped<br />
her lose enough weight to receive<br />
gastric bypass surgery and<br />
improve her quality of life.<br />
“It came down to the social<br />
aspect of it as well. People were<br />
talking to me in the street and<br />
my confidence was improving.<br />
I’d even leave myself extra time<br />
when I went out, so that I could<br />
stop and chat to anyone who had<br />
questions.<br />
“Now, I’m walking about 6km<br />
a day. While I still cannot bend<br />
my knee, my lungs are healthy,<br />

my muscles are growing and I’m<br />

The city council’s Walking<br />

people like Karen. A new<br />

Decadent sweet<br />
treats enticingly<br />
easy to make<br />
As the temperature<br />
drops outside, tuck into<br />
tangy treats, such as<br />
this ginger ring cake by<br />
Joan Bishop<br />
THIS WONDERFUL cake,<br />
strewn with ginger, is both<br />
sumptuous and earthy, its<br />
flavours mingling enticingly.<br />
It is a breeze to make and does<br />
not need icing, but if you wish to<br />
gild the lily, a lemon icing would<br />
be suitable such as this frosting.<br />
Its creaminess suits the cake<br />
perfectly.<br />
Ginger ring cake<br />
Makes 1 cake, 12-16 slices<br />
Ingredients<br />
Cake<br />
200g plain flour<br />
¾ tsp baking soda<br />
2 tsp ground ginger<br />
1 tsp ground cinnamon<br />
½ tsp ground allspice<br />
70g crystallised ginger, finely<br />
chopped<br />
90g butter, cut into small cubes<br />
120g dark cane sugar<br />
¼ cup of golden syrup<br />
¼ cup of treacle<br />
2 large eggs<br />
½ cup of Greek yoghurt<br />
1 tsp of vanilla extract<br />
Lemon frosting<br />
Have all the ingredients at room<br />
temperature<br />
250g icing sugar<br />
¼ Cup of low-fat cream cheese<br />
(spreadable variety)<br />
2 tsp lemon juice<br />
70gm of crystallised ginger,<br />
finely chopped to sprinkle on<br />
top<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat the oven to 160 deg C.<br />
Lightly spray the sides of a<br />
20cm round ring tin and line the<br />
base with baking paper.<br />
Place butter, dark cane sugar,<br />
golden syrup, and treacle in a<br />
heat-proof microwave bowl, cover<br />
and microwave on low power<br />
until the butter has melted.<br />
Remove cover and set aside to<br />
cool.<br />
Beat together the eggs, Greek<br />
yoghurt and vanilla extract and<br />
beat into the butter and sugar<br />
mixture.<br />
Sift the flour, baking soda,<br />
ground ginger, ground cinnamon<br />
and allspice together, then<br />
stir in the chopped crystallised<br />
ginger.<br />
Make a well in the centre, pour<br />
in the syrup-treacle mixture and<br />
stir until all the flour has been<br />
combined. It should have a soft<br />
dropping consistency.<br />
Pour the mixture into the prepared<br />
tin and bake in pre-heated<br />
oven for 45-50 minutes then turn<br />
out on to a wire rack.<br />
To make the frosting, sift the<br />
icing sugar into a large mixing<br />
bowl. Add cream cheese and<br />
lemon juice. Mix or beat until<br />
smooth, adding a drop or two of<br />
extra juice if needed. Spread the<br />
icing over the completely cool<br />
cake and sprinkle crystallised<br />
ginger.<br />
Healthy chocolate bliss<br />
balls<br />
Makes 10 balls<br />
Ingredients<br />
1 cup whole oats<br />
½ cup pitted dates<br />
½ cup cashew butter (any nut/<br />
seed butter works)<br />
¼ cup maple syrup<br />
½ tsp vanilla extract<br />
¼ tsp salt<br />
1 ½ Tbsp chocolate drops<br />
Directions<br />
Firstly, add oats to a food<br />
processor and grind until they<br />
resemble flour.<br />
Add the oat flour, dates,<br />
cashew butter, maple syrup,<br />
vanilla and salt to the food<br />
processor and process until the<br />
mixture comes together and is<br />
smooth.<br />
Remove the mixture and pour<br />
into a bowl. Form into small<br />
balls with your hands and press<br />
a chocolate chip into each ball.<br />
Enjoy.<br />

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />
Thriving on the East<br />
Shirley Boys’ High School<br />
Shirley Boys’ High School – Ngā<br />
Tama o Ōruapaeroa is a school of 1250<br />
rangatahi that serves the eastern suburbs<br />
of Christchurch. It has a rich history,<br />
which continues at Ōruapaeroa. We have<br />
a purpose-built school with first-rate<br />
facilities designed to support the learning<br />
of boys. Although our current site is new,<br />
we still focus on the traditions, customs<br />
and values of a school that has proudly<br />
been part of the community since 1957.<br />
Our staff are expert in the learning needs<br />
and strengths of our ākonga. Teachers<br />
deliver high quality teaching and learning<br />
based on the New Zealand curriculum. The<br />
learning is challenging, engaging and fit for<br />
boys. It is directed by the teacher in a calm<br />
and ordered environment. Our kaupapa<br />
is on developing positive and strong<br />
relationships, with a goal of producing<br />
high levels of academic and personal<br />
achievement in academic, sporting,<br />
cultural and service endeavours.<br />
At Shirley Boys’ High School, boys are<br />
encouraged to participate in a vast array<br />
of sporting and cultural activities that are<br />
designed to prepare them for success at<br />
and beyond school. The desired outcome<br />
for our boys is that they enjoy school and<br />
find it a positive and rewarding experience.<br />
We support this with our core values of<br />
Whakaute -Respect, Whānau, Hononga -<br />
Belonging, Tuakiri - Character and Better<br />
than Before. These values contribute to<br />
making our school strong across all areas.<br />
Through living and demonstrating these<br />
values, our boys will continue to learn and<br />
grow, and will be positive role models,<br />
contributing citizens.<br />
Shirley Boys’ High School is committed<br />
to preparing rangatahi to succeed in<br />
their world by providing learning that is<br />
designed to enrich boys and encourage<br />
them to be Better than Before.<br />
Christian Integrated<br />
Schools in Christchurch<br />
Working together for the good<br />
of students and families has been a<br />
successful recipe for Christian Integrated<br />
Schools in Christchurch.<br />
The Christian Education Network<br />
has been in existence for over ten years.<br />
Aidanfield Christian School, Emmanuel<br />
Christian School, Hillview Christian<br />
School, and Middleton Grange School<br />
decided in 2005 that there was much to be<br />
gained by working together cooperatively.<br />
They recognised opportunities to share<br />
successful teaching practice, curriculum<br />
development initiatives across a wide<br />
spectrum of school operations as well as<br />
cooperatively strengthening their special<br />
Christian Character. They recognised that<br />
their ability to serve students and families<br />
was greatly enhanced by working together<br />
Thursday <strong>April</strong> <strong>13</strong> <strong>2023</strong><br />
in a close and trusting relationship.<br />
The success of the network has seen<br />
other schools wanting to join in. Early<br />
in the piece Rangiora New Life School<br />
became part of the network. The schools<br />
joined together to support the genesis<br />
of Ashburton Christian School and also<br />
culminated in the start up of the brand<br />
new Rolleston Christian School in 2015.<br />
The schools have developed interlocking<br />
enrolment schools which assists in<br />
providing transparent pathways in<br />
Christian education from new entrant<br />
through to Year <strong>13</strong>.<br />
A further strength has been a<br />
cooperative engagement with the Ministry<br />
of Education who have been pivotal<br />
in assisting the network’s successful<br />
development.<br />

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />
Preparing students for their future<br />
“Our aim is simple... to provide the best education possible for every student”<br />
Giving students the opportunity to study from<br />
an innovative and broad curriculum is critical<br />
to providing each student a pathway that meets<br />
their individual needs. We allow for a greater<br />
range and flexibility in subject choice including<br />
the utilization of the secondary/tertiary interface.<br />
This reinforces the philosophy underpinning<br />
personalised learning and is strongly supported<br />
by understanding our students’ interests, passions,<br />
talents, and ultimately their career aspirations.<br />
We understand that for effective learning to<br />
take place, it has to be implemented in such a<br />
way that students will be highly engaged. The<br />
school does this in a ‘forward thinking’ way by<br />
creating learning environments that allow our<br />
students to see value in what they do and achieve.<br />
Papanui “PRIDE” is what we represent and we<br />
demonstrate this by having young adults leave<br />
our school as confident learners who have gained<br />
the appropriate qualifications and social skills to<br />
become valued contributing members of society.<br />
All that we do here is reinforced by positive<br />
relationships, an ethos of caring, cultural<br />
responsiveness, inclusion, and high expectations<br />
– what we call “Our Full-Service Model”. The<br />
school highly values the connectedness of<br />
curricular and co-curricular learning. We have<br />
a philosophical understanding that the holistic<br />
development of the student is critical to their<br />
individual success.<br />
The school has worked hard to consolidate<br />
recent initiatives to ensure sustained and<br />
continuous improvement. You are invited to view<br />
our website, school charter, ERO report, and/or<br />
contact the school for more information.<br />
We look forward to welcoming all prospective<br />
students and their families/whānau to visit our<br />
school.<br />
Polyfest <strong>2023</strong> – St Thomas<br />
of Canterbury College<br />
72 of our ākonga, tutored by five St Thomas’<br />
old boys, took the stage to proudly represent our<br />
College at this year’s Polyfest which was held at<br />
Hagley Park on Saturday 18th March. With the<br />
sun gleaming on a beautiful Christchurch day,<br />
over 15,000 people enjoyed 26 Canterbury schools<br />
showcasing the Pasifika culture, while enjoying the<br />
numerous food stalls.<br />
Our group was well supported by our parents,<br />
old boys and staff who witnessed one of the best<br />
performances of the day. The harmonious singing,<br />
partnered with the powerful synchronized actions<br />
on the big stage, was all on the back of the hard<br />
mahi the group have put in.<br />
Well done to everyone involved.<br />

A centre of<br />
creative excellence<br />
When choosing the right school for our tamariki we often go by the<br />
‘feeling’ we have when we visit, as much as by the programmes that<br />
schools have on offer. The world demands fewer people who can do<br />
repetitive tasks and more people who can think creatively and critically.<br />
That’s why our vision, our aspiration, as a school is to be ‘A centre of<br />
creative excellence’ in everything that we do, whether visual arts or<br />
chemistry, volleyball or music, management or curriculum organisation.<br />
In doing this we haven’t forgotten the importance of building<br />
strong relationships with all of our students, and the importance of<br />
individualising learning pathways so that we come as close as we can to<br />
meeting every individual student’s needs. Hornby High School’s feeling<br />
is one of positive relationships that support learning. Students often<br />
comment that we feel like whānau, like family. Visitors without exception<br />
comment on the calm learning focussed environment that they see and<br />
feel when they visit our learning spaces. This all takes place within our<br />
wonderful facilities that are allowing us to develop a new curriculum<br />
crossing old subject boundaries and catering for individual needs, that<br />
support student passions, and help our students to grow their heart for<br />
their community. The growing list of student achievements support<br />
our students’ opinions that we offer a wide range of sporting and other<br />
activities for them during<br />
their time at school. And<br />
we expect nothing but the<br />
best from every student,<br />
we expect every student<br />
to create the best version<br />
of themselves that they<br />
can be. We emphasise<br />
our values, promoting<br />
the ethos of kindness, of<br />
manaaki. We invite you<br />
to come along and meet<br />
with our skilled staff, and<br />
the amazing young people<br />
who make Hornby High<br />
School such a wonderful<br />
place to be. Robin Sutton.<br />

Education Courses at<br />
Papanui High School<br />
Thursday <strong>April</strong> <strong>13</strong> <strong>2023</strong><br />
People enrol in Adult Education Courses<br />
for a myriad of reasons. It may be to gain<br />
new skills, to build the confidence to go<br />
onto more formal learning, or simply<br />
to try a different activity. Being in the<br />
company of like minded learners, relaxing,<br />
socialising, and forming new friendships<br />
is a very real bonus to the actual subject<br />
matter being taught. What would you like<br />
to learn? Perhaps you want to learn the<br />
ukulele or guitar, or maybe you would<br />
like to learn to speak another language or<br />
sample the cuisines of the world or improve<br />
your fitness there is plenty of variety in the<br />
courses offered at Papanui High School.<br />
We have some new courses on offer for<br />

T-Roc R adds to VW’s performance line-up<br />
GET IN quick is my advice.<br />
That is if you want a performance<br />
car with a high output<br />
internal combustion engine. The<br />
automotive world is changing<br />
quickly, hybrids, electric vehicles<br />
and models with low emission<br />
engines will soon dominate the<br />
global new car market.<br />
At least for the time being,<br />
Volkswagen is catering for those<br />
who want power and performance<br />
and in a standout package.<br />
Sure, there’s the quintessential<br />
Golf GTi, but Volkswagen<br />
is marketing heavily the R series<br />
of performance models – Golf R,<br />
Tiguan R and T-Roc R (R meaning<br />
Race).<br />
The T-Roc sits in the smaller<br />
side of the sport utility vehicle<br />
range, it’s sort of a crossover really,<br />
but what it lacks in stature it<br />
certainly makes up for in practicality<br />
and honesty, it will easily<br />
cater for the small family and has<br />
already established itself as a success<br />
in the global marketplace.<br />
The T-Roc here is priced from<br />
$43,490, there are four models<br />
(including the R), the latter sits<br />
at $71,990, which if you stack it<br />
beside other performance hatchbacks<br />
and sedans around the<br />
same size it is competitive, but<br />
bear in mind the Government<br />
will also have its hand out for a<br />
$1660 fee to subsidise low emission<br />
vehicles.<br />
True to its R stablemates, the<br />
T-Roc gets a 2-litre turbocharged<br />
engine. I mentioned the Golf<br />
GTi, well, the R series engines<br />
in all three variants get a similar<br />
engine as the GTi but with even<br />
greater power outputs. In R form<br />
the four-cylinder unit has power<br />
outputs of 221kW and 400Nm.<br />
Incorporating<br />
best motorbuys<br />
www.drivesouth.co.nz<br />
The engine is an absolute belter<br />
with a strong mid-range surge<br />
and dynamics which encourage<br />
vigorous throttle use. That’s<br />
because this engine has sound,<br />
I’m not saying it is noisy, it’s<br />
not, but it does emit shrieks and<br />
howls under urgency that is a joy<br />
to listen to.<br />
Drive is channeled to all four<br />
corners using Volkswagen’s<br />
4-Motion system, the transmission<br />
is a seven-speed direct shift<br />
system which you simply treat<br />
like any automatic. As you would<br />
expect, there are paddle shifters<br />
on the T-Roc, and if you still like<br />
to hang onto a gearshift, manual<br />
changes can also be carried out<br />
at the main shifter itself.<br />
When I refer to the entire<br />
Volkswagen R series models as<br />
being race ready, well, effectively<br />
they are. Sure, you can’t go to a<br />
track and start racing, but you<br />
can have a decent amount of fun<br />
in a closed circuit situation.<br />
Hot hatchback buyers are<br />
spoilt for choice with a plethora<br />
of lively yet functional performance<br />
models scattered freely<br />
across several brands in New<br />
Zealand. Volkswagen has not<br />
made a choice easy, choosing<br />
between any of the three R<br />
variants would simply come<br />
down to the practical aspect of<br />
what each delivers, the T-Roc<br />
also has the benefit of a sizeable<br />
load area.<br />
However, it’s what’s at the<br />
other end that makes the R<br />
models so special, let’s hope that<br />
Volkswagen (and other car makers)<br />
can continue building their<br />
performance engines for many<br />
years to come. I know that’s a<br />
difficult ask when the world is<br />
demanding lower emissions to<br />
combat climate change, but I’m<br />
forever the optimist.<br />
