School 

responds 

to alleged 

video of 

teacher in 

sex act 

• By Tony Simons 

A CHRISTCHURCH high school 

is continuing to investigate the 

circumstances surrounding a 

video that appears to show a male 

teacher in a sexually explicit act, 

and has requested anyone who 

has the video to stop sharing it 

and delete it immediately. 

In an email to parents, the 

school principal said the board of 

trustees had been informed of the 

matter and confirmed it related to 

a member of staff. 

A parent, who said they have 

seen the video, said parents and 

students at the school have been 

discussing who they believe is 

involved, including a student. The 

parent said the video has been 

circulating for some time. 

The principal said: “We know 

there is some discussion in parts 

of the community about the sharing 

of a video . . . we can confirm 

that at this early stage we are seeking 

to understand the facts and 

next steps.” 

The school principal and board 

chair met for much of yesterday, 

then made a short statement 

reiterating what was sent to 

parents earlier.

want 

your 

help 

• By Heidi Slade 

RESIDENTS LIVING close to 

land used for storing shipping 

containers want the city council 

to hurry up and do something 

about them. 

One has taken to emailing 

Mayor Phil Mauger for help - 

but she has had no response. 

“I do think he has let the 

community down,” said Melissa 

McCutchan. 

“We just don’t seem to be getting 

anywhere . . . our concerns 

are not being taken seriously.” 

The containers are being 

stored on industrial land in 

Woolston, close to residents’, 

including McCutchan’s, homes. 

She said her house shakes and 

reverberates when containers 

are moved. It is not uncommon 

for she and her children to be 

woken in the night when containers 

fall. She likens the sound 

to an earthquake. 

“If it’s not waking me up, it’s 

waking up my children,” she 

said. 

“It’s taking a significant toll 

on everything.” 

Residents complained about 

the site last year and in November 

the city council determined 

the operator had been stacking 

containers higher than the 11 

metres allowed, and was also 

using a designated landscaping 

and stormwater setback. 

The operator applied for 

resource consent in November 

to be allowed to stack containers 

higher than 11m.

Motorist allegedly ran down dog walker 

• By Daniel Alvey 

AN IRATE motorist is targeting 

people walking their dogs – and 

now it is alleged he used his car 

to knock one of them over. 

A person and their dog were 

allegedly run down by a car after 

the driver abused them and 

made death threats. 

Police have now released 

CCTV footage in a bid to identify 

the driver. 

The incident happened late 

afternoon on April 14. It may 

not be the first incident where 

people walking their dogs have 

been abused by the motorist in a 

dark grey sedan. 

INFORMATION SOUGHT: 

Police want to identify 

the driver of this dark grey 

sedan in connection with 

an incident with a dog 

walker. 

The April 14 drama unfolded 

when a person walking their 

dog was verbally abused by the 

Fresh face for clock tower 

Darren 

Moses 

driver of the sedan on Springs 

Rd near Southfield Dr in 

Lincoln. The driver also allegedly 

threatened to kill the dog 

walker. 

“He yelled that I abused my 

dog,” the dog walker said. “He 

also yelled out that he was about 

to kill me several times and 

he was going to grab my dog 

off me.” The dog walker was 

“chased” by the motorist into 

Southfield Dr and then into 

nearby Blunden Rd. 

“He then ran his car at us 

twice onto people’s front properties, 

he succeeded the third 

time hitting both my dog and 

myself knocking us both over,” 

years to come.” 

Problematic areas of water ingress 

have had protective membranes 

applied, giving protection 

from the elements. 

The work has been labourintensive 

and presented a number 

of challenges due to the small 

footprint, height of the structure 

and age of some materials. 

“With six levels up, it’s quite a 

compact environment with up 

to 10 people on site, so it’s been 

a matter of co-ordinating the 

spaces and the workflow,” said 

Moses. 

“Introducing modern materials 

to extend the life of the structure 

whilst maintaining the overall 

aesthetic and integrity of the 

original is another challenge and 

the result is a credit to the whole 

team who’ve worked on it.”

Clock Tower, the volcanic stone

the person said. “The only reason 

I think he stopped was that 

people (were there) in the park.” 

The person and the dog were 

not badly hurt. 

Senior Sergeant Rachel 

Walker said more CCTV 

footage has now been provided 

by the public. “Police are 

reviewing the information 

received following the appeal 

. . . and are following lines of 

inquiry to identify the vehicle. 

Walker said. 

•Anyone with information 

on the grey sedan or the 

incidents should call police 

on 105 and quote file 

number 230417/5725. 

CONSERVATION WORK: The ornate 

clock tower on Victoria St has had a 

facelift. PHOTOS: NEWSLINE, LINKEDIN 

and limestone structure has 

decorative wrought iron work 

with coloured glass around part 

of the tower and four clock faces. 

The tower has two white 

marble plaques and one bronze 

plaque set on stone work above 

arches. The upper part of the 

structure was designed by 

Benjamin Woolfield Mountfort 

and constructed in 1859 in 

England. 

It was installed at the corner of 

High and Manchester Sts in 1897 

to mark the Diamond Jubilee of 

Queen Victoria’s accession, and 

shifted to its current location 

in 1930.

Matter being 

taken seriously, 

parents told 

• From page 1 

The school said not all the 

information being shared this 

week about the video is correct or 

has been validated. 

It is understood the school has 

yet to launch an employment 

investigation, because it was still 

trying to understand the facts. 

The parent said some students 

believed the video could have 

been doctored. 

The school said, due to privacy 

constraints and the need to work 

through a robust process, the 

it was unable to provide more 

information. But the school 

assured parents it was taking the 

matter seriously. 

It is seeking advice from the 

New Zealand School Trustees 

Association and liaising with the 

Ministry of Education. 

The principal also advised 

students and families the student 

support team will remain 

available to discuss any concerns 

students have about the matter. 

The Star has chosen, at this 

stage, not to identify the school. 

Two-way street 

stays for $1.2m 

A PANEL OF city councillors 

has recommended a central 

Christchurch street remains twoway 

– but it will cost an extra $1.2 

million to go ahead with. 

Developers Philip Carter and 

Shaun Stockman last month 

threatened to delay projects and 

stop investing in the city if a block 

of Lichfield St was to become oneway 

with a 10km/h speed limit. 

In response, city council staff 

developed a new design that keeps 

the street running in both directions, 

but still sees it made safer 

and with more space allocated for 

people and outdoor dining. 

On Monday, city council staff 

revealed the new two-way design 

would cost $1.2m more than the 

original one-way plan. Later in 

the day, a hearings panel consisting 

of five councillors decided 

to recommend the new two-way 

option.

Community 

Board chair, Paul 

McMahon and 

Banks Peninsula 

MP Tracey 

McLellan. 

McMahon 

has also emailed 

Mauger and city 

council chief executive Dawn 

Baxendale. 

Mauger was hailed a people’s 

hero before he was elected 

as mayor, when he used his 

contracting company to dig a 

trench in Bexley to stop flooding 

which was upsetting people in 

that area. 

McCutchan was disappointed 

he had not responded to the plea 

for help. 

Mauger didn’t respond to 

questions put to him by The Star. 

A spokesperson for the mayor 

said it was a matter for city 

council staff to deal with. 

While the resource consent 

is being considered, the city 

council temporarily allowed 

containers to be stacked six high, 

meaning the stack could be 

about 17m. 

“This was not a decision that 

was made lightly by council staff 

given the concerns being raised,” 

the spokesperson said. 

“An abatement notice was 

issued for the activity. Most 

aspects of the non-compliance 

were addressed by the operator. 

However, some aspects were 

deferred to await completion 

of processing of the resource 

consent.” 

The six-high container stacks, 

obstruct residents’ views of the 

Port Hills. 

“We had such a beautiful view 

of the area, and it’s just been 

diminished,” McCutchan said. 

The city council spokesperson 

said the reason for allowing 

the containers to be stacked six 

high was due to a difference 

in interpretation – whether a 

container meets the definition of 

a building, and is subject to the 

height limit. 

The property owner’s lawyer 

also said regardless it would 

lodge a resource consent for 

stacks up to six containers high, 

the spokesperson said. 

“Council staff considered it 

reasonable to allow those issues 

to be thoroughly and properly 

considered through the resource 

consent process.” 

McCutchan wants to see the 

district plan enforced for safety, 

noise, and the view from her 

home. 

McMahon wants the original 

plan enforced. 

“It really is not fair,” he said. 

“It’s affecting people’s quiet 

enjoyment of their own homes.” 

With the increased height of 

the stacks, McMahon said views 

of the Port Hills are considerably 

more obstructed. 

“I was used to seeing this 

beautiful view of the hills,” he 

said. 

While exercising discretion 

is standard council practice, 

McMahon wants to see 

discretion in favour of the 

community, instead of the 

operator. 

“I understand the council 

must adhere to the law and 

it’s very difficult when dealing 

with wealthy developers, but 

Woolston only has the council to 

stand up for us,” he said. 

“It is very complex and very 

unfair that people’s right to the 

quiet enjoyment of their homes 

is being denied to them.” 

McLellan thinks it would be 

better if the city council focused 

on enforcing the District 

Plan. 

“I’ve had a lot of feedback from 

residents who are disappointed 

and frustrated about this 

development,” she said. 

“They’re concerned about 

the noise, the safety of stacked 

containers, the loss of visual 

amenity, and the impact of 

industrial activity on the 

sensitive ecological river 

corridor.”

Update on Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor 

released; Kerrs Reach changes proposed 

THE NEXT swathe of 

regeneration projects for the 

Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor 

are taking shape. 

Preliminary designs and 

information for the City to Sea 

Pathway, proposed developments 

at Kerrs Reach, and an estuarine 

wetland at Bexley was published 

yesterday. 

City council 

head of parks 

Andrew Rutledge 

said the new 

information provides 

more clarity 

Andrew 

Rutledge 

and detail for a 

prioritised group 

of projects. 

“We have done 

a lot of work behind the scenes, 

and it’s exciting to be able to 

share more information about 

these key projects with the community,” 

said Rutledge. 

“We’re preparing to progress 

work on the City to Sea Pathway 

and the Bexley wetland, and to 

apply for a plan-change process 

to make some significant 

changes to Kerrs Reach.” 

Details around one of the 

centre-pieces of the OARC, the 

City to Sea Pathway, are firming 

up. The 11km-long shared-use, 

all-weather route will largely 

follow the course of the Ōtākaro 

Avon River from Barbadoes St 

in the central city to Pages Rd in 

New Brighton. 

“Due to the length of the 

pathway, it will be designed and 

constructed in three sections,” 

said Rutledge. 

“At an average of four metres 

wide, it’s designed to be enjoyed 

by everyone, and a surrounding 

network of minor paths will 

connect (it) to the surrounding 

communities. 

“This pathway is one of the 

centrepieces of the OARC Regeneration 

Plan, and we’re moving 

closer to putting spades in the 

ground. We anticipate construction 

on the pathway will begin 

next summer.” 

As part of the City to Sea Pathway, 

a new footbridge will be 

constructed at Dallington, after 

collaborating with students from 

Canterbury University. This 

work, and the development of 

the upper terrace at Avon Park, 

is funded by the Christchurch 

Earthquake Appeal Trust.

existing Kerrs Reach flatwater 

sports’ clubs facilities to the opposite 

side of the river, are also 

progressing, with artist renders 

and preliminary plans published 

yesterday. This proposal will trigger 

a Christchurch District Plan 

change process the city council 

will apply for. 

Rutledge said the proposed 

Kerrs Reach developments will 

be a significant project for the 

OARC. 

“By relocating the existing 

flatwater sports buildings and 

facilities across the river, we 

can repurpose the current car 

park, bridge, lighting and underground 

services at Kerrs Reach 

for a new Wainoni riverside 

landing.” 

Rutledge said the new landing 

could include a pavilion that 

can be booked for community 

events, a seasonal kiosk, outdoor 

spaces for markets and 

gathering, an events space, riverviewing 

platforms, boardwalks 

and cultural design elements. 

The creation of an estuarine 

wetland at Bexley, complete with 

improved stopbanks and stormwater 

treatment capabilities will 

be planned in conjunction with a 

project to upgrade the Pages Rd 

bridge. 

New stopbanks will be constructed 

further away from the 

river’s edge, then the current 

stopbanks removed to let the 

land flood naturally and create a 

new wetland. 

New features planned for this 

area include a riverside landing 

(as a future stage), shared path 

access, a protected bird nesting 

site on the southern spit and 

some forested areas at the 

southern end of the wetland, 

where the land is higher and has 

less salt in the groundwater. 

Emily Blythe, CEO and 

Founder of aviation 

company Pyper Vision 

“Christchurch: Aerospace 

Capital of New Zealand” 

is a reality on the horizon 

At 26 years old, Emily Blythe has been named 2023 Spark 

New Zealand Innovator of the year for her work creating 

safe visibility at airports by dispersing fog using a specially 

designed, environmentally friendly drone. Emily, CEO and 

founder of Christchurch company Pyper Vision, originally 

pitched the idea as a 16-year-old high school student and has 

aviation in her blood. Her mum is an air traffic controller and 

her dad and grandad are both pilots who often got delayed due 

to fog issues, so naturally she started thinking about solutions. 

Fog delays and diversions are large costs for exporters, airlines 

and airports — Pyper Vision estimated that fog disruptions cost NZ$18.5 

billion a year globally. And diverted flights produce significantly more 

carbon emissions. 

Emily and Pyper Vision’s success is just one example of the city’s 

booming aerospace and aviation community that offers an abundance 

of opportunity. The scale of growth is huge and incorporates not 

just aviation and the obvious space flight and rocketry, but also 

manufacturing, engineering, geospatial mapping, data analytics, 

education, training and services. 

Why Aerospace in Christchurch? 

Canterbury is an ideal location for aerospace and aviation. It has a 

generous expanse of skies, clear airways, remote seas to the south and 

all with easy access to international sea and airports. And the Kaitorete 

Spit is technically the best site in Aotearoa for aerospace and space 

launch activity. The geographic advantage is backed by the city’s strong 

innovation ecosystem and advanced manufacturing sector, both of which 

help make Christchurch home to global leading companies working to 

minimise environmental impact. 

Pyper Vision themselves grew within the ecosystem, launching as a 

startup through Te Ōhaka’s innovation programme. Study pathways 

add strength to the sector with the University of Canterbury offering 

Aotearoa’s first aerospace minor as part of an engineering qualification. 

This is boosted by the strong network of aerospace companies nurtured 

by industry body Aerospace New Zealand. It is on a mission to create an 

aerospace business hub in Canterbury that exceeds $50+ million annual 

revenue by 2030 and already has 200+ Christchurch–based members 

including businesses and supporters. 

The economic impact is significant: 

Around the world innovation hubs associated with aerospace 

generate an economic ecosystem around themselves 

By 2050 the global value is estimated to be $2.7 trillion 

In Canterbury, the economic impact is estimated to be 

between $100 million and $1 billion already 

Aerospace New Zealand 

A not-for-profit industry body that promotes the interests of 

our city, our region, and our nation. Their mission is to grow 

a thriving Aotearoa New Zealand aerospace ecosystem that 

is highly regarded around the world. An inclusive and 

sustainable aerospace industry that aligns with Aotearoa 

New Zealand’s values in enabling environmental and social 

outcomes that improve the wellbeing of all New Zealanders. 

Dawn Aerospace 

Dawn Aerospace is building a space transportation network. 

They’re a leading provider of green propulsion for satellites 

and have hardware on 12 operational satellites. Dawn are also 

developing a rocket-powered spaceplane — an innovation 

that aims to increase launch capacity and space accessibility 

in a sustainable way. 

Fabrum 

World leaders in end-to-end liquid hydrogen systems that are 

currently being used to decarbonise the aviation, heav transport, 

and mining. They are building systems for ground-based 

infrastructure and on-board fuel tanks for zero emission flights. 

Fabrum are partners with AIRBUS, AirNZ New Zealand, and 

Christchurch Airport in a consortium to adopt hydrogen in aviation. 

SPS Automation 

A Christchurch-based R&D company specialising in tailored 

airborne and ground-based automated robotic systems. Their core 

technology is sensor-based artificial intelligence and the design/ 

integration of the robots that use it. SPS Automation has in-house 

rapid prototyping facilities. If it flies, rolls or moves and needs to 

think, then they can build it. 

Skybase 

Since 2017, Skybase has driven local industry growth in uncrewed 

aviation technology. With world-first regulatory approvals, they 

have upgraded an existing aerial firefighting aeroplane to fly as 

an autonomous drone with no pilot on board. This enables flight 

at times and in places that would otherwise not be possible. 

Orbica 

Orbica’s Geospatial Platform has been designed to make data 

and tools available to all. Their platform combines the best cloud, 

AI & geospatial technologies enabling data practitioners to

Vivid memories of Parker – Hulme 

• By Tony Simons 

THE DEATH of 84-year-old 

Anne Perry, who was convicted 

in 1954 of one of Canterbury’s 

most notorious murders,

friend’s mother on the Port Hills.

time,” said Bolam-Smith. “But I 

still remember us sitting around 

the dinner table at our house in 

Burnside Rd (Memorial Ave) 

discussing my father’s gardening 

work for the Hulme family.” 

After the murder and when the 

girls were charged, Bolam-Smith 

remembers the talk around 

the table and the shock of it all 

happening. 

“My parents didn’t say much 

after that, perhaps because they 

didn’t want to upset us,” said 

Bolam-Smith. 

But perhaps they remained 

quiet because the Hulme family 

circumstances were scandalous 

for the time. 

“I actually think my parents 

talked about the murder and 

the trial privately out of our ear 

shot,” said Bolam-Smith. 

After the trial, it is 

believed Hulme’s father, 

Dr Henry Hulme, 46, was 

forced to resign his post as 

rector of Canterbury University 

College, not just because of the 

trial, but also because of the 

scandal of the affair his wife 

was believed to be having with 

Walter (Bill) Perry, who also 

lived in the homestead at the 

time. 

Testimony at the murder trial 

stated Perry’s relationship with 

Hilda Hulme was known to her 

husband and even accepted by 

him. 

After Juliette Hulme 

was released from prison, she 

moved overseas, changed her 

name to Anne Perry and later 

became a crime writer. The two 

girls also became the subject 

of the 1994 Peter Jackson film, 

Heavenly Creatures, starring 

Kate Winslet and Melanie 

Lynskey. 

At the time of the murder, 

Bolam-Smith and his family 

lived in a house on Burnside Rd. 

It was an unsealed road leading 

to the airport and the nearby 

Ilam Homestead, owned by 

Canterbury University College 

(Canterbury University), was a 

semi-rural property on the very 

outskirts of the city. 

The Hulme family lived there 

and it was used by the college for 

entertaining. It was described as 

beautiful and renowned, with 

an idyllic, spectacular garden 

setting. 

In evidence during the trial, 

Juliette’s mother, Hilda described 

the place as big and oldfashioned 

with grounds planted 

in shrubs.

murder return to gardener’s son 

She told the court she knew 

from Juliette’s diary that the two 

girls had a secret place in the 

garden they called the temple, 

but they kept it to themselves, 

and she had no idea of its 

significance. 

“I don’t think my father knew 

anything about that,” said 

Bolam-Smith. 

“At least he never mentioned 

it to us.” 

Bolam-Smith’s father died 

in 2011 after a long career as 

an award-winning gardener 

and garden designer, and 

after working for a number 

of companies, including 

Associated British Cables, and at 

the Cracroft Estate. 

His wife, Bolam-Smith’s 

mother, Dora is now 106 and 

still remembers the turbulent 

time. 

“I was talking to her on Friday 

about Perry’s death (on April 10) 

and she remembers it clearly,” 

said Bolam-Smith. 

They have both seen the film 

Heavenly Creatures. 

“It was a bit weird trying to 

connect it to my memories of 

the time,” said Bolam-Smith. 

“My memory and the film’s 

interpretation don’t exactly 

match, but my mother said she 

thinks it will be a lasting record 

of what actually happened.”

Netball icon’s dream home sells for $4.65m 

• By Diana Clement 

CANTERBURY netball legend 

Joan Harnett-Kindley has sold 

her Wānaka dream home for 

$4.65 million. 

The four-bedroom 

designer property was 

snapped up at auction 

last week by a local 

family. 

The waterfront 

house was built by 

Harnett-Kindley, a 

former Silver Ferns 

captain, nearly 15 

years ago. 

Harnett-Kindley 

played 116 internationals in the 

1960s and 70s, including three 

world championships. 

After retiring from netball, 

Joan 

Harnett- 

Kindley 

she built up a real estate business 

in Christchurch, and 

later became a director of her 

husband’s real estate company 

in Wānaka. 

Ray White Wānaka agent 

Anna Findlay said the buyers 

were the only active bidders 

at the auction. 

“They walked into the 

house and loved the whole 

feel of it,” she said, adding 

that Harnett-Kindley 

was very happy with the 

outcome of the auction. The 

Albert Town home sold for 

$400,000 above RV. 

The property looks out 

onto the river, has views of Mt 

Gold and Mt Maude and comes 

with a full-size tennis court. 

Designed by architect Ken 

Warburton, the house was built 

in schist stone to ensure it was 

in keeping with the environment. 

“It just belongs here,” 

Harnett-Kindley said. 

The netball icon, who recently 

celebrated her 80th birthday, 

said she and her husband Don 

had sold Wicklow Tce because 

the property had become 

too big for their current lifestyle. 

They planned to build a 

townhouse elsewhere in Albert 

Town. 

“We’re on half an acre of 

land. As one gets older it’s a 

lot of work. We’ve got to move 

while we can still enjoy the new 

(home),” she said.

Drowned teacher’s grieving 

parents speak of ‘joyous’ son 

• By Georgina Campbell 

THE GRIEVING parents of 

Christchurch primary school 

teacher Isaac Levings say 

he became separated from 

his friends after a concert 

in Wellington, got lost, and 

accidentally drowned in the 

harbour. 

His parents Charles and 

Margaret said the pain of their 

youngest son’s death will remain 

with them for years to come. 

“It’s a hell of a shock. We’re 

coming to terms with the fact we 

won’t have Isaac, but it doesn’t 

make it any better,” Charles Levings 

said. 

The 25-year-old’s body was 

found by police in the harbour 

on Friday. 

Isaac Levings grew up in 

Avonhead as a contented child 

who developed a mischievous 

sense of humour as he got older 

and kept everyone on their toes, 

Margaret Levings said. 

“We just had joy for 25 years.” 

Margaret had worked parttime 

at Russley School and 

Charles had worked at Avonhead 

School after spending 34 years as 

a principal at various schools. 

But Charles said it was a 

surprise to both of them when 

Isaac decided in his final year of 

high school that he wanted to be 

a teacher. 

He went on to study at Canterbury 

University and got his first 

job at Elmwood Normal School, 

where he has worked for the last 

five years and was adored by his 

pupils. 

Isaac had a lot of fun at school, 

was allowed to be himself, and 

could try different strategies to 

work with the children, Margaret 

said. 

Floral tributes and other trinkets, 

including a new basketball 

with “you were the most wonderful 

teacher, we will all miss you” 

written on it, piled up outside 

Isaac’s classroom door following 

his death. 

Isaac was particularly keen 

on basketball and has been 

described by one parent as an 

incredible sportsman who often 

went along to watch his pupils’ 

games at the weekend. 

“As parents, it’s so heartening 

to think that he was so much valued 

and so much loved because 

he had the same love for the 

kids,” Charles said. 

The tributes were removed on 

Tuesday afternoon and given 

to Isaac’s family so the children 

could start fresh yesterday. 

Charles said some of the pupils 

were traumatised by the loss of 

their teacher and will be receiving 

professional support. 

Isaac’s family have collectively 

shared the painful grief of losing 

him, but Margaret said she has 

found strength in family and her 

faith. 

She said the Wellington police 

were amazing and she was grateful 

Isaac’s body was discovered 

soon after he was reported missing. 

Isaac was staying with friends 

in Wellington when he disappeared. 

He was last seen at Queens 

Wharf after attending the concert 

by band The 1975 at TSB 

Arena on Wednesday night last 

week. He became separated from 

his friends after the concert, 

became disorientated, and his 

phone had gone flat. 

The alarm was raised when he 

TRAGIC: Tributes have flowed for Elmwood Normal 

School teacher Isaac Levings, who drowned in Wellington 

Harbour. Above – Isaac (left) with parents Margaret and 

Charles and brother James. PHOTOS: NZ HERALD 

didn’t return to where he was 

staying. 

A friend contacted Isaac’s older 

brother James the next day and 

James then got in touch with his 

parents. 

“That was so much out of character 

for Isaac. Isaac’s really well 

organised,” Charles said. 

James then flew to Wellington 

with a cousin to talk to police. 

They and other family members 

flooded the police station, 

Charles said. 

Police put out a public appeal 

for information about Isaac’s 

whereabouts and started searching 

the harbour on Friday, where 

his body was found later that day. 

Charles it was an accidental 

drowning. 

In 2021, the body of 30-yearold 

Sandy Calkin was also found 

in the water near Queens Wharf. 

Calkin’s father Roger has 

advocated for balustrades to be 

installed along the most dangerous 

parts of the wharf area. 

Charles agreed with him. 

“If it was a swimming pool or 

a construction site, you would 

have health and safety people 

coming around throwing fines at 

you because it is potentially quite 

dangerous.” 

Wellington City Council has 

confirmed it is investigating 

enhanced edge definition and 

further fencing to deter people 

from accessing the wharf edge. 

Isaac’s body was flown from 

Wellington back to Christchurch 

on Tuesday. 

“We’re delighted to have Isaac 

back with us in Christchurch. 

It’s going to help with our grief 

process,” Charles said.

Son threatens to 

kill dad; drug bust 

reveals cannabis 

growing operation 

PHOTO: 

GETTY 

• By Emily Moorhouse 

A MAN who threatened to kill 

his father before shooting up his 

house truck and taking to it with 

an axe said he was emotional at 

the time. 

Kyle Stephen Ord, 37, appeared 

in the district court where he 

was sentenced on a lengthy list of 

drugs and firearms charges after 

a drug bust revealed his cannabis 

growing operation. 

The summary of facts said a 

breakdown in the relationship 

between Ord and his father 

began when they agreed to swap 

vehicles. However, Ord decided 

he should be paid a further 

$2000, which his father didn’t 

agree with. 

Between October 2 and 10 last 

year, Ord sent multiple texts to 

his father saying he was going 

to kill or assault him and his 

father’s partner. He referred to 

guns in his possession when 

making these threats. 

On October 3 last year, using a 

shotgun, Ord fired several shots 

into the outside of his father’s 

Bedford house truck, which was 

parked at his address. 

He then damaged the interior 

of the truck using an axe. 

When police searched Ord’s 

house they found cannabis plant 

branches hanging from the ceiling 

drying out as well as recently 

harvested cannabis, utensils for 

cutting it up, and a set of scales. 

In total, including stalks, 1423 

grams of dried cannabis were 

found as well as 85 cannabis 

seeds stored in various tins. 

In Ord’s bedroom, a loaded, 

modified 22 calibre Norinco 

rifle and a Sako 26-06 rifle were 

found in the wardrobe. Ammunition 

was also found. 

A search of Ord’s workshop 

revealed a fake wall with a 

small entrance door. Behind the 

wall were two growing rooms 

equipped with lights, fans, ducting, 

water pumps, air filters, timers, 

and transformers for power. 

The walls and ceiling were 

covered in white plastic sheeting 

with timelines and diagrams 

with dates written with a black 

marker pen, outlining the plants’ 

harvesting dates. 

There were 57 cannabis plants, 

ranging in size. 

A stolen 2022 Honda motorcycle 

valued at $10,795 was also 

found in a garage near the house. 

In Ord’s vehicle, police found 

two bags of methamphetamine 

and 110g of cannabis stored in 

resealable bags. 

When questioned by police, 

Ord said he used the guns for 

shooting possums and for his 

protection. After shooting up 

his father’s house truck he broke 

the shotgun up and stored it in 

a box. 

Ord said he shot up the house 

truck because he was in a bad 

head space and emotional at the 

time. 

He admitted being angry with 

his father when he threatened 

to kill him and his partner but 

said he wouldn’t have followed 

through with this. 

Ord’s lawyer, Joshua Macleod, 

said his client was thankful 

for his time spent in custody 

because he had been given the 

opportunity to focus on himself. 

Macleod said Ord had taken 

full responsibility for his actions 

and was an intelligent man who 

had previously built businesses 

before he became involved in 

drugs, causing his downfall. 

He said Ord accepted the end 

sentence would be one of imprisonment 

but despite that was 

still focusing on being a better 

man and keeping himself out of 

trouble. 

Judge Dominic Dravitzki said 

Ord’s offending was very serious, 

noting the fully loaded gun in 

his bedroom with which he had 

threatened his father and his 

father’s partner. 

Judge Dravitzki gave Ord 

discounts for his guilty pleas, his 

“difficult family background” 

and the steps he’d taken to address 

addiction issues while in 

custody. 

He sentenced Ord to two years 

and five months imprisonment 

and ordered the destruction of 

all the drugs and firearms.

STYLE & 

DESIGN IDEAS 

FOR YOUR BRAND NEW APARTMENT 

At Kevin Hickman Village we have brand new, 

architecturally-designed apartments available that 

are leading the way in how we Cantabrians live. 

Although you might be downsizing, these 

affordable apartments give you the chance to 

showcase your personality & style. Senior Ryman 

interior designer, Alex Armitstead, has come up 

with seven clever ideas for apartment living. 

A ROOM WITH A VIEW 

The views from many Kevin Hickman apartments are 

stunning, overlooking to the Riccarton Park Racecourse 

and out to the Port Hills. Stylise & enhance your apartment 

with a mirror that reflects and increases the light inside. 

ESSENTIAL ORGANISATION 

Bookcases let you add your own personal 

touch with colour, and can be flexible 

furniture pieces too. You can add rolling 

drawers with covers for the storage of 

linens, seasonal clothes & shoes. Add 

storage for remotes, photos and more by 

fitting your bookcases with baskets and tins. 

UP HIGH 

Instead of using low, solid and heavy 

furniture in your apartment, bring in 

sleek, tall pieces with high legs. Longer 

legs on furniture helps accentuate the 

floor space in your apartment. 

SMART ART 

Turn your television into art. 

A smart TV (one that will 

stream the internet) can be 

used to display art for free using YouTube. Let your 

imagination run wild - holiday images, pictures of family 

& friends or get creative with colours and shapes. 

CREATE DIVISIONS 

Often dividing your apartment into 

zones helps with organisation but 

without the need for physical walls. 

A see-through bookshelf, a screen 

divider or even positioning furniture 

a certain way are easy ways to 

provide that break between areas. 

SLEEP 

IN STYLE 

Replace your bed base for 

your apartment with one 

that comes with handy 

drawers for storage. This one 

(pictured) from Sleepyhead 

saves you storing items 

underneath your bed 

collecting dust. Pair it with a 

matching headboard. 

MULTI-PURPOSE 

FURNITURE 

Make the most out of 

design pieces in your 

apartment by turning them 

into functional storage. 

When it’s time to put your 

feet up and watch TV, add 

a stylish Ottoman foot 

stool where you can stash 

your throws or blankets.

Landmine expert inspires rest home 

residents to get knitting for Ukraine 

• By Daniel Alvey 

UKRAINE MAY be 17,000km 

from Christchurch, but rest 

home residents are doing their 

bit to help the war-torn country. 

Russley Village residents have 

knitted woollen goods to send 

to Ukraine, including blankets, 

hats and scarves, as well as 

donated brand-new jackets 

and jerseys. 

The residents were inspired 

to get crafting by former soldier 

Tony Connell, who returned to 

Christchurch this week and will 

help deliver the much-needed 

goods. 

Connell has been living in 

Ukraine since 2014, and 

since 2016 has been helping 

remove landmines, 

as well as educating 

locals on what to do if 

they find one. 

He is based in 

Chernihiv, a 

town about 

140km north 

of the capital 

Kiev. 

Back in

mother 

Moyra at 

Russley 

Village, with 

knitted 

goods for 

Ukraine.

where his mother Moyra lives. 

Connell is the Ukraine 

country director for the Swiss 

Foundation for Mine Action, a 

non-governmental organisation 

which clears mines and 

unexploded munitions around 

the world. 

While Connell has done the 

actual removal in the past, he 

now works in administration, 

overseeing fundraising and 

financing and liaising with other 

agencies in the area. 

For the first time in 22 years, 

Connell attended the Christchurch 

Anzac Day dawn service. 

He was in the New Zealand 

army for 24 years, finishing up in 

1999 at Burnham. 

Connell said he was surprised 

by the cost of living in New 

Zealand. 

“I was shocked when I paid $6 

for a coffee, in Ukraine $1 would 

be an expensive coffee,” Connell 

said. 

“Some of the supermarkets in 

Kiev are better stocked than the 

ones here in New Zealand.” 

Connell believed the Ukranians 

would never give up, no 

matter how hard the Russians

“I think Putin made a mistake 

doing that because it just made 

them (Ukrainians) fight harder.”

Rising food prices: Readers share tips 

My solution to rising fresh 

food prices: I joined the St 

Aidan’s Vege Co-Op (Bryndwr), 

which has been a huge help to 

having affordable fresh food. 

For $18 dollars I receive a bag 

containing a variety of fresh fruit 

and veges every week, and very 

good value for money. 

They have enough volunteers 

doing all the work and welcome 

new people as it gives them 

greater buying power. 

Also, there are often items – 

usually bread – donated from 

the local supermarket, offered as 

extras. 

When I need other items than 

the ones in the bag, I go to a 

fruit and vege market, which is 

usually much cheaper than the 

supermarket, and also keeps 

small local business alive rather 

than feeding multinational 

companies. 

-D Downward 

Bryndwr 

What disturbed me was the 

fact that teachers were not letting 

children eat their lunches 

from home if they did not have 

healthy approved food in them. 

Do we now have food police? To 

me it is child abuse. 

Instead of punishing the child, 

help the mother. I am sure she is 

not the only parent struggling, so 

do as other schools and provide 

lunches. Find out where the 

nearest vege co-op is and direct 

the parents toward this. There 

are other ways to help until these 

difficult times are over. 

-Jean V. Smith 

Parklands 

For the last 13 years, I have 

been saying we all need to grow 

our own vegetables. 

The easiest way is with a garden 

bed. 

Last year we made over 350 of 

them. 

-Selwyn Eagle 

Just Dirt Trust 

There is only one solution to 

this problem and it’s called ‘boycott’ 

or ‘consumer’ power. 

There is no genuine reason 

why we should have to accept 

these outrageous prices. As a lot 

of us can’t afford to buy, there 

is no harm done if everyone 

chooses not to purchase until the 

prices are lowered. 

Choose one vegetable or 

product per week, and let our 

democracy speak.

Battle of the universities 

among big club clashes 

• By Jaime Cunningham 

UNIVERSITY OF Canterbury 

will mark a historic milestone 

when they host Lincoln 

University at Ilam Fields on 

Saturday. 

Although the clash between 

the two teams is always a special 

affair, UC will want to celebrate 

its 150th year with a third 

consecutive win on the metro 

premier side’s home ground. 

Lincoln University co-coach 

Simon Livingstone is expecting 

a large crowd for the historic 

match-up. 

“It’ll be great to be a part of the 

game. The two universities have 

always had a bit of history,” he 

said. 

Lincoln University go into the 

match after beating Belfast 50-17 

in round 2. 

“The focus was purely down 

to execution for us and looking 

after the ball for majority 

of the game, which we did,” 

Livingstone said. 

After a narrow 27-26 loss 

to New Brighton in round 

1, Livingstone said playing 

consistent rugby was the key to 

their win over Belfast. 

“It was a good learning curve, 

but we don’t win the competition 

in the first game of the year.” 

Several Crusaders are expected 

to return to their metro club 

teams again this week. 

Noah Hotham (HSOB), 

Melani Nanai (HSOB), Zach 

Gallagher (Burnside), Jamie 

Hannah (Lincoln University) 

and Corey Kellow (Lincoln 

University) all played for their 

clubs last weekend and may do 

so again on Saturday. 

“Across the board last week 

and this week there’s a lot of 

them available,” Livingstone 

said. 

“It’s a week-by-week basis, with 

us finding out on Tuesday or 

Thursday if we’ll have the guys 

playing on the weekend.” 

In other matches, Sumner face 

Belfast after beating title-holders 

Sydenham at the weekend 34-28. 

High-flying Marist Albion play 

High School Old Boys in round 

3 following two large wins over 

Sydenham and Burnside. 

Struggling Christchurch take 

on Burnside at Christchurch 

Park on Saturday, with Burnside 

looking to back-up their round 1 

win against HSOB. 

Sydenham are yet to get their 

first win. They take on Shirley 

at Burwood Park. Shirley have 

started the season with wins over 

Belfast and Christchurch. 

New Brighton and Linwood 

both have a win and a loss 

apiece. They play each other at 

Linfield Park, with Linwood 

set to wear a special Anzac Day 

jersey for the match.

NETBALL 

Kereru’s B team recorded 

a large upset in the opening 

round of the premier netball 

competition, dominating last 

year’s finalists. It was a close 

game for the first 45 minutes 

between UC A and Kereru B. 

Although UC were just three 

goals behind at the third quarter 

break, Kereru B closed out 

the game with a strong last 15 

minutes, winning 58-45. 

Head coach Wilson Rota was 

thrilled with the result, although 

just two players from last year’s 

squad have returned to the side 

and their build up has not been 

“the greatest.” 

“The girls rallied together 

really well. Our defensive 

structures, which we had been 

working on, and the team’s 

communication was fantastic,” 

he said. 

It was a full-court performance 

for Kereru B, with the team’s 

shooting at 85 per cent, the most 

accurate team in the first round. 

Former Technical player 

Kersha Timpson was a standout 

at wing attack for Kereru,

LEAGUE 

Linwood Keas will look to 

complete a perfect start to the 

season when they play the 

struggling Riccarton Knights on 

Saturday. 

The Keas lead the points table 

with a 106-point differential, 

and are yet to come close 

to losing a game. It was no 

different at the weekend, with 

last year’s Pat Smith Trophy 

winners dominating the Hornby 

Panthers, winning their fifth 

game of the season 56-16. 

Head coach Iuma Mulitalo 

said although the Keas are 

producing large wins, they’re just 

taking each game at a time.

“I guess playing Hornby 

we wanted to rise up for the 

occasion – and we did,” Mulitalo 

said. “There’s quite a few in our 

squad and whoever starts need 

to prove themselves.” 

The Keas play the Riccarton 

Knights on Saturday. 

“In the last couple of weeks, 

we’ve scored a few tries but also 

leaked a few,” Mulitalo said 

Following their 44-18 loss to 

the Eastern Eagles in round 5, 

the Knights are still looking for 

their first win of the season. 

On Halswell Domain, the 

Hornets will have a chance 

to pull away from the Eagles 

on the points table when they 

host Eastern on Saturday. The 

Hornets claimed a convincing 

32-4 victory over the Northern 

Bulldogs last weekend. The 

Bulldogs play the Panthers this 

weekend. 

FOOTBALL 

Southern League leader 

Christchurch United need to step 

up a notch on Saturday if they’re 

to beat fourth-placed Ferrymead 

Bays. They struggled to a 1-0 

victory over winless Nomads at 

the weekend. 

On Saturday, Christchurch 

take on Ferrymead Bays who 

sit in fourth and could bring 

Christchurch their most 

challenging game yet. 

Ferrymead go into round 3 

after a 1-0 win against Selwyn 

United. 

Second-placed Cashmere 

Technical had to work hard for 

a 2-1 win over Green Island at 

Garrick Memorial Park. 

Technical take on Selwyn at 

Foster Park on Friday. While 

they have shown moments of 

promise, Selwyn have recorded 

just two wins so far. Green Island 

will travel to Tulett Park on 

Saturday to take on Nomads. 

Coastal Spirit will travel to 

Nelson to play Nelson Suburbs 

on Sunday following a dominant 

first half victory against FC 

Twenty 11 in round 5. 

FC Twenty 11 managed to 

close in on Coastal’s lead in the 

87th minute with a goal from 

Nikolas Fairley, losing 4-1 after 

trailing 4-0 at the half. 

Following a 1-1 draw with 

Nelson Suburbs in round 5, 

Dunedin City Royals will want 

to dominate the Southern 

League’s newest side and take 

their chance to leap into the top 

two. 

The South Island qualifying 

league returns on Saturday after 

a break last week, with all teams, 

except Nelson Suburbs (bye), 

playing at 2.45pm.

Kobori step closer to turning pro 

TALENT: Kazuma Kobori scored 69,69,70,69 to win the Q 

school final at Moonah Links in Melbourne last week. 

• By Neville Idour 

AMATEUR KAZUMA Kobori 

stunned a strong field 

at Moonah Links 

in Melbourne, 

winning the Q 

school final in a 

play-off. 

The 21-year-old 

Russley golfer 

now has a best 

category card for 

the Australasian 

Tour 2023/2024 

season after 

his 69,69,70,69 

win over 

Queenslander 

Chris Crabtree 

in the final 

last week. 

Playing 

together in 

the final round, 

Crabtree had a 

one shot lead. He and 

Kobori went toe-for-toe 

until Crabtree took a handy 

two-shot lead with three holes 

to play. But there was a two-shot 

swing on the 16th when Crabtree 

bogeyed and Kobori birdied. They 

both finished par, birdie and -11. 

They headed back to the 18th 

hole for the play-off and Kobori, 

the Australian Amateur champion, 

again birdied the par 5 to 

take the win. 

As Kobori is an amateur, the 

$10,000 winner’s cheque went to 

Crabtree. 

But there are some big opportunities 

ahead for Kobori who is 

due to head to the United States 

in June to compete in the major 

amateur events there. He is then 

set to represent New Zealand 

at the Eisenhower Trophy in 

mid-October before returning 

to Australia for the Asia Pacific 

Amateur Championships at Royal 

Melbourne. A win would open 

the door to a start at both The 

Masters and The Open, which 

Kobori would find hard to pass 

up if he turns professional after 

these events. Following in the 

footsteps of his older sister, 

Momoka, Kobori feels he will be 

ready for the professional ranks 

when the time comes. It was an 

outstanding week for the Kiwi 

contingent at Moonah Links 

which finished on Friday. Sung 

Jin Yeo finished third, Kit Bittle 

fourth, Rhys Thomas sixth and 

Tyler Wood was 27th. 

Age group 

championships 

CANTERBURY junior golfers put 

in some winning performances 

at the South Island Age Group 

Championships in Ashburton. 

Outstanding 14-year-old 

Cooper Moore (Clearwater) was 

in scintillating form, beating a 

strong under-16 field with rounds 

of 70,68,69 to finish -9 at the 

tournament last week. Moore began 

the final round at the Ashburton 

Golf Club four shots behind Ryan 

Xie (Remuera) who played in the 

NZ Open. 

Xie lost the plot in the final round 

and Moore ended five shots ahead 

of him. Jonathan Fry (Russley) 

finished fifth and Yuhan Shao 

(Russley) was sixth. 

Sora Kishida (Rangiora) 

emulated Moore with an excellent 

performance in the under-16 girls 

with consistent rounds of 70,68,73 

giving her a five shot win. Kishida 

started the final round with an 

eight shot lead. Aroha Minhinnick 

(Waimairi Beach) finished fifth. 

In the under-19 girls, Yuki Miya 

(Russley) was very consistent with 

73,71,72 to finish third. 

Young rowers Paris-bound for world champs 

• By Jaime Cunningham 

NINE ROWERS from 

Christchurch schools have made 

New Zealand teams to compete on 

the same course set to host next 

year’s Olympics after dominant 

Maadi Cup performances. 

Rowing New Zealand has 

named three teams to compete at 

the under-19 rowing championships 

on Vaires-sur-Marne in 

Paris. New Zealand will be represented 

by two coxed eights and a 

quadruple sculling boat. 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School has 

the most students of any school 

in the two teams, with Georgia 

Bethell, Nicole Vance, Alice Wallis, 

Phoebe Wallis and coxswain 

Annabel Wynn-Williams making 

the women’s coxed eight. 

The Rangi Ruru students won 

the girls’ under-18 coxed four 

at the New Zealand secondary 

schools’ champs and all competed 

at last year’s under-19 world 

championships in Italy. Rangi 

Ruru head coach Logan Keys 

was named coach of the women’s 

coxed eight. Keys led the school to 

the Levin Jubilee Cup for the 18th 

time this month. 

Maadi Cup winners St Bede’s 

College will be represented in 

Paris by Sam Woodgate and 

Matthew Glen in the coxed eight. 

Victorious St Bede’s head coach 

Dale Maher will lead the team following 

his second Maadi Cup win 

as head coach. Christ’s College’s 

Fergus Johnston and Cashmere 

High School’s Oscar Clatworthy 

have also been selected for the 

men’s eight. Both won medals in 

the under-18 boys’ pair at Maadi 

Cup. 

Milly Farrell (St Margaret’s College) 

and Charlie Poulter (Christ’s 

College) will also travel to France 

as reserves. 

Two New Zealand teams 

made A finals at the under-19 

championships in Italy last year, 

with the women’s coxed eight 

finishing fifth and the women’s 

pair finishing sixth. 

The 2023 World Rowing 

under-19 championships will 

take place from August 2-6. 

SUCCESS: Rangi Ruru’s Nicole Vance, Georgia Bethell, 

Alice Wallis, Phoebe Wallis and cox Annabel Wynn- 

Williams will represent New Zealand at the under-19 World 

Rowing championships in France.

FRANKIE MACKAY SATURDAY 7– 8AM

NEW ZEALAND Rugby has 

announced the four coaches 

who will assist Scott Robertson 

when he becomes All Blacks 

head coach after the 2023 Rugby 

World Cup. 

Current All Blacks assistant 

coach Jason Ryan will be joined 

by Leon MacDonald, Jason Holland 

and Scott Hansen, with the 

group to take up their respective 

roles in 2024. 

Incumbent All Blacks forwards 

coach Ryan will continue 

his role in 2024. Current Blues 

coach MacDonald will lead 


the attack with assistance from 

Hurricanes coach Holland, 

while Crusaders assistant coach 

Hansen will be in charge of 

defence. 

Nic Gill, who has been a key 

part of the All Blacks management 

group since 2008, will stay 

on as head of performance, leading 

the health and performance 

team. 

NZR chief executive Mark 

Robinson said he was pleased to 

have secured four “talented and 

experienced” coaches to guide 

the All Blacks into 2024 and 

beyond. “All four have proven 

themselves as successful and 

skilled mentors in their respective 

Super Rugby environments 

and in some cases overseas,” 

Robinson said. 

“As we announce this group, I 

would also like to acknowledge 

the current All Blacks coaching 

group who will guide the team 

through 2023, and who have the 

full backing and support of NZ 

Rugby as they build toward the 

Rugby World Cup in France.” 

Robertson was delighted to 

have the coaching group locked

in. “I’ve known Jason, Leon, 

Scott, Alfie (Holland) and Gilly 

for a long time and worked with 

them all at times during my 

playing and coaching career,” 

Robertson said. “They are a 

highly talented and motivated 

group who will bring different 

strengths to the table and who 

share a similar philosophy on 

the game. Like myself . . . I know 

they all have important work to 

do in 2023 and their main focus 

will be on their current job in 

hand, but we will be ready to go 

from 2024.” –NZ Herald

ADD SOME 

COLOUR 

TO YOUR ADVERT! 

Struggling to get on the property ladder 

and feeling fed up? You’re not alone. Real 

Estate Authority (REA) research has found 

that more than half of all first home buyers 

– even the ones who successfully buy a 

property – find the process stressful and 

overwhelming. 

1. SORT OUT YOUR FINANCES 

You’ll already know that saving is a big 

part of getting ready to buy, but do you 

know what else you need to do? 

Getting financial advice from a qualified 

advisor could be a useful step in your 

planning. 

“It’s also a good idea to get conditional 

pre-approved finance arranged so you can 

move quickly when you spot a property you 

really like. Having conditional pre-approval 

lets you know the price range you can buy 

in and it shows agents and sellers that you’re 

a serious buyer. It’s also crucial if you’re 

planning to bid on a property at auction.” 

Don’t forget to explore ways that 

you might be able to get help from the 

Government. There are various forms of 

assistance available if you’re a KiwiSaver 

member, buying in certain areas, want 

to buy a former Housing New Zealand 

property or are Māori and want to live on 

your ancestral land. 

2. NEEDS VS WANTS 

Many first home buyers discover a big 

gap between what they’d like to buy and 

what they can afford when they first start 

looking. 

“Sit down and write a tight list of what 

your absolute must-haves are, then work 

out what you’re willing to compromise on,” 

throughout Lampen-Smith Christchurch 

says. 

If you’re thinking about pets and children 

arriving in the short-to-medium term, think

Advertorial 

Tips for first home buyers 

about how these will change your needs. 

Will you need to be near to childcare or 

schools? Will you need a fenced property? 

3. DO YOUR HOMEWORK 

Don’t let your desperation to find 

somewhere blind you to a property’s faults. 

“Do as much research as you can about 

a property. That means getting a lawyer 

on board to make sure all the paperwork 

is in order and to help you understand if 

there are any issues. We also recommend 

getting a qualified building inspector who 

has professional indemnity insurance to 

prepare a comprehensive report on the 

property.” 

4. RECOGNISE YOUR LIMITS 

Buying a ‘doer-upper’ is a Kiwi tradition, 

especially for first-home buyers, but we’re 

not all blessed with the right skills. Factor 

this in before you make an offer on a 

‘renovator’s dream’. 

“Be honest with yourselves about how 

much DIY you can really do, especially 

if you’ve got pets and kids. Getting 

professionals in to help will cost more, but it 

will also make the process faster. It may also 

be better in the long term when it comes to 

selling the property if any work has been 

done properly with the right consents.”

MESHOW 

Thursday, April 27, 2023 

Christchurch’s best read and largest circulating newspaper 

One teacher 

per 20-25 

pupils, say 

retired staff 

• By Adam Burns 

SOME PARENTS and former 

teachers in Christchurch 

are skeptical on proposed 

changes to class size ratios in 

schools, and believe challenges 

facing the sector are not 

straightforward. 

Education Minister 

Jan Tinetti announced 

changes last week 

to help “improve 

teacher and learning 

outcomes”, reducing 

classroom ratios from 

one teacher per 29 

pupils, to 28 by 2025. 

Tinetti said reducing the 

number of students in the 

classroom would allow teachers 

more one-on-one time with 

their students. 

Thirteen-year-old Amelia 

Jan Tinetti 

Preston is a year 9 student and 

said she was in a classroom 

where three teachers looked 

after 80 pupils. 

She said there was no time 

for one-on-one with teachers. 

“It was actually really big and 

noisy and the teachers couldn’t 

really handle the kids.” 

Lexi Watson, 13, said the 

classes were “a lot of people 

for a teacher”. 

“You couldn’t really 

have much time with the 

teacher.” 

Mother Kate Grater 

said there was not just one 

solution to make learning 

easier. 

“I’m a parent and I wan the 

best education for my son and 

it’s hard. 

“It’d be grea to send our 

give them the best education 

bu that’s not realistic for a lot 

of us. 

“And it’s also not realistic to 

after you’ve worked a full day, 

to sit down with your child, 

who is tired and review all of 

this (school work).” 

Grandmother Linda Askew 

though the changes were 

futile. 

She said a back-to-basics approach 

was needed. 

“Making sure that our 

children can actually read and 

write and that we pick up these 

little ones who can’t, when 

they’re six or seven, not eight, 

would be much better. 

“Getting one more teacher 

ratio is not going to make 

much difference at all, and 

A Murchison mother, who 

preferred to remain anonymous, 

said her child was in a 

small class at a rural school, but 

some pupils still needed extra 

support. 

“In general, the teaching is 

fairly good because of (the size 

of the class). 

“Part of the problem with big 

classrooms is that all kids, no 

matter what level they’re at in 

the same age group, are put in 

together.” 

She doubted one less pupil 

in the classroom would make a 

difference. 

“If there’s a lot of different 

demographics and higher 

needs in that class, they probably 

need a couple of teachers 

not going to happen.” 

Father Michael Pacey 

thought classroom sizes had 

gotten smaller, bu teachers 

had been provided additional 

duties. 

“I think the teachers do a lot 

more than jus teach now,” he 

said. 

“Giving them the ability to 

do the work tha they need to 

do in the background, to be 

able to teach effectively is a 

good thing. 

“There’s limited hours in the 

day so with the extra responsibilities 

there needs to be some 

slack given somewhere else.” 

RNZ spoke to retired 

teachers last week, who said 

children to a private school and 

where are we going to find 

these teachers?” 

in each class . that would be 

great. 

“But in the real world that’s 

the government needed to do 

better, proposing a ratio of one 

teacher per 20-25 pupils.
