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 />

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 />

said there may never be a<br />

questioned city council<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 />

Schools aim to dominate polo pool<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 />

tournament will be played in<br />

Auckland this week.<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 />

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 />

Adult and Community<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 />

learn how to make a Felt Fedora Hat. In the<br />

Reiki class you will gain an understanding<br />

of the energy system in the body and learn<br />

how to give yourself and others a Reiki<br />

treatment. If you would prefer to learn<br />

something completely different we are<br />

offering a Genetic Genealogy Research<br />

course which will show you how to unravel<br />

the mysteries within your genetic family<br />

lines using modern research methods and<br />

tools.<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 />
