game<br />
RANGI RURU Girls’ School<br />
students are waiting with bated<br />
breath to see if they have set a<br />
new world record.<br />
The students attempted the<br />
world record on Friday, for the<br />
most water transported by hand<br />
over 1km, in aid of World Vision’s<br />
40 Hour Challenge.<br />
Led by the school’s head of<br />
service, Bex Skinner (Year 13),<br />
the school’s 700 students were<br />
encouraged to take part in the<br />
challenge.<br />
It required each student to<br />
walk 1km with a bucket of<br />
water from the school pool, in<br />
a bid to highlight the disparity<br />
between the availability and<br />
convenience of clean drinking<br />
water in New Zealand to that in<br />
many other countries.<br />
Students were asked to seek<br />
sponsorship for the challenge,<br />
which has so far raised $7756 of<br />
the $8000 target. Funds raised<br />
will to go towards providing<br />
fresh water access in Malawi,<br />
where it is estimated the average<br />
child walks 6km to collect fresh<br />
water each day.<br />
Said Skinner: “This water<br />
bucket challenge is important<br />
to me because it encourages<br />
empathy towards others whose<br />
daily lives are so different from<br />
our own.” • Turn to page 5<br />

Zhou woos Ryman residents<br />
IT WAS A special homecoming<br />
for one member of the United<br />
States-based a cappella group,<br />
the Harvard Krokodiloes,<br />
when they performed at the<br />
Christchurch Art Gallery.<br />
Among the 12 tuxedo-clad<br />
undergrads who performed to<br />
Ryman residents and guests<br />
over the weekend was former<br />
Cobham Intermediate and<br />
Burnside High student Alex<br />
Zhou.<br />
The Harvard Krokodiloes are<br />
based at Harvard University<br />
in Cambridge, Massachusetts,<br />
where Zhou has made a successful<br />
career with the singing<br />
group, which performs without<br />
instrumental accompaniment.<br />
Zhou’s parents were in the<br />
audience to cheer him on. The<br />
former Burnside choir member<br />
was happy to share his experiences<br />
of life at Eliot House, one<br />
of 12 residential houses for “upperclassmen”<br />
at Harvard.<br />
Zhou said the Kroks – as they<br />
are commonly known – have<br />
performed in front of luminaries<br />
such as Julia Roberts and Bill<br />
Clinton.<br />
“Three years ago, we performed<br />
at this country club<br />
in Los Angeles and one of the<br />
actors in Hunger Games was<br />
there.”<br />
Zhou admitted he only got into<br />
a cappella because some friends<br />
put him ‘unwittingly’ into a side<br />
career as a singer.<br />

“I definitely come from an<br />
unconventional singing background.<br />
I pretty much had no<br />
exposure to singing all the way<br />
until year 12, so my second to<br />
last year of high school. Then my<br />
friends as a joke signed me up<br />
for auditions for the high school<br />
choir.<br />
“They didn’t tell me until 40<br />
minutes before the audition.<br />
I thought why not, I’ll give it<br />
a shot. I went in and sang the<br />
national anthem, and somehow<br />
it worked out.”<br />
He went on to perform with<br />
the Burnside Choir at The Big<br />
Sing in Wellington, a national<br />

school choral music competition.<br />
Zhou says during high school<br />
he loved 1960s and 90s Britpop<br />
– anything from The Beatles to<br />
David Bowie and Oasis.<br />
With a relatively limited<br />
experience it was somewhat<br />
nerve-racking to audition for the<br />
Kroks at prestigious Harvard in<br />
his first year.<br />
“First week was a bit of a struggle<br />
because you’re constantly<br />
singing and each a cappella<br />
group has three to four rounds of<br />
auditions.”<br />
But he loves the challenge and<br />
comradeship. He’s returned the<br />
favour by helping put up some<br />

performed<br />
in front<br />
of Ryman<br />
residents<br />
and staff.<br />
fellow students up at his parent’s<br />
house in Yaldhurst.<br />
“I’ve got eight of the Kroks<br />
staying at my house so it’s a bit of<br />
a squeeze,” he said on Monday.<br />
After four years, including<br />
‘dorm parties’ while living in<br />
shared student halls on campus,<br />
he’s graduated with an economics<br />
degree from Harvard.<br />
“That’s got some of the brightest<br />
students from across the<br />
world (though) I’m not sure I’m<br />
BECAUSE YOUR<br />
FEET MATTER<br />
part of that group but it’s really<br />
cool talking to students who are<br />
world leaders in math and the<br />
like.<br />
The Krokodiloes have already<br />
been to Ho Chi Minh City,<br />
Bangkok, Tokyo, Singapore,<br />
Melbourne and Sydney. They<br />
also performed to an audience<br />
of Ngaio Marsh Retirement Village<br />
residents. Their next sytops<br />
are Queenstown, Auckland and<br />
Wellington.<br />

Bucket challenge attempts<br />
world record for charity<br />
• From page 1<br />
Said Skinner: “Although<br />
we can never compare our<br />
experience to their everyday<br />
lives, my hope is that students<br />
will get to step into their shoes<br />
for a small period of time and<br />
have a better understanding of<br />
the cause we are fundraising<br />
towards as a school.”<br />
In total, the students transported<br />
3195 litres of water –<br />
the equivalent of 12,780 cups<br />
of tea – but will have to await<br />
official notice to learn if they<br />
have set a brand-new world<br />
record.<br />
Fellow Year 13 student and<br />
head of chapel Nina Cantos<br />
said: “The bucket challenge<br />
helps us reflect on our<br />
privilege of having access to<br />
the basic necessities in life and<br />
understand the value<br />
in dedicating service for<br />
others.”<br />
Rangi Ruru’s head of<br />
community and global<br />
connections Tania Morgan<br />
said it was important to instill<br />
a sense of social responsibility<br />
and a desire to give back<br />
among young people.<br />
“Our Rangi Ruru value<br />
of manaakitanga (kindess,<br />
support) is all about ākonga<br />
(students) being good global<br />
citizens and helping those less<br />
fortunate than themselves,”<br />
she said.<br />
“Not only does this schoolwide<br />
event help raise awareness<br />
of World Vision’s focus<br />
on raising money to help<br />
bring fresh water to the most<br />
vulnerable children in Malawi,<br />
but it also encourages our<br />
ākonga to do their little bit to<br />
make a difference.”<br />
World Vision aims to provide<br />
clean water and sanitation<br />
for everyone, everywhere the<br />
organisation operates, by 2030.<br />

Spreadsheet of rugby results<br />
turns into major project<br />
Meticulous research<br />
has led to a treasure<br />
trove of sporting<br />
history at Shirley<br />
Boys’ High School.<br />
Jaime Cunningham<br />
reports<br />
WHEN CARLOS Colville<br />
made his debut for Shirley Boys’<br />
High’s 1st XV in the opening<br />
match of the season against<br />
John McGlashan College, he<br />
unknowingly made history for<br />
the school.<br />
Shortly after the match in<br />
April, teacher Michael Skinner<br />
discovered Colville was the<br />
1000th player to take the field for<br />
SBHS’s 1st XV.<br />
Skinner started his research<br />
after the trip to Oamaru to play<br />
John McGlashan when current<br />
coaches Kris Vine and Thomas<br />
Houghton asked about the<br />
history of the team. Skinner,<br />
a teacher at SBHS since 2002,<br />
admitted he didn’t know much<br />
about it to start with.<br />
“I coached the 1st XV years<br />
ago, and help out now and then,”<br />
he said.<br />
“But I didn’t know much of the<br />
history myself, so I started a bit<br />
of research not only to educate<br />
the boys but tell our history to<br />
our community.”<br />
What started as a spreadsheet<br />
of results turned into a bigger<br />
project for Skinner, who counted<br />
up the total number of the<br />
school’s 1st XV players and<br />
found that Colville had became<br />
the 1000th in the team’s first<br />
game of the season.<br />
“It was a bit of a shame we<br />
missed that opportunity, but<br />
we celebrated that at the start of<br />
the Miles Toyota Premiership<br />
season,” he said.<br />
Even the school’s 17<br />
staff members who played for<br />
the 1st XV were wanting to<br />
know their player numbers,<br />
Skinner added.<br />
The historical project has<br />
now gotten larger than Skinner<br />

featuring a number of old boys<br />
such as current Crusaders Tom<br />
Christie (below) and Brodie<br />
McAlister, Black Ferns assistant<br />
coach Tony Christie, and former<br />
All Black Ryan Crotty.<br />
“What I’m trying to do is to<br />
make a 20 minute presentation<br />
of the history with images and<br />
clips of them,” he said.<br />
“It’s something for next year<br />
and the future.”<br />
Although it’s still in the<br />
works, Skinner has interviewed<br />
several former players so far, and<br />
believes their memories will be<br />
integral to the school’s rugby<br />
culture.<br />
“I talked to James Daniels,<br />
who was part of the 1972 team<br />
and is a presenter for <strong>News</strong>talk<br />
ZB.”<br />
“I tried not to laugh at some of<br />
his memories on camera because<br />
they were so entertaining,” he<br />
said.<br />
Skinner has also interviewed<br />
Steve Crotty, known as being the<br />
father of All Black Ryan, but is<br />
an old boy himself who coached<br />
alongside Skinner in the mid<br />
2000s.<br />
“He got a bit of a tear to his<br />
eye going back to the memory<br />
of coaching his sons Ryan and<br />
Luke,” Skinner said.<br />
“It was obviously a real proud<br />
moment with his wife and<br />
daughter on the sidelines.”<br />
The geography teacher<br />
hopes to add to his project<br />
with scanned photo<br />
archives scattered around<br />
the school’s new Travis Rd site<br />
to educate students’ on their<br />
local history.<br />
SBHS continued their Miles<br />
Toyota Premiership campaign<br />
yesterday, going down to<br />
defending champions Nelson<br />
College 29-5.<br />
Some of Michael Skinner’s<br />
research into the past years of<br />
SBHS rugby:<br />
The inaugural Shirley 1st XV<br />
team played 10 games against St<br />
Bede’s College, Christ’s College,<br />
Christchurch Boys’ High, Papanui<br />
High and Cashmere High in 1959<br />
just two years after the school was<br />
founded.<br />
It was noted in the school magazine<br />
that the “team had a good year<br />
despite the greater age and weight<br />
of opposing teams” – as Shirley did<br />
not having any 7th formers (year<br />
13s) until 1961. The 1960 1st XV<br />
was captained by Peter Drewery<br />
(SBHS 1st XV #1) and coached by<br />
John Mullins.<br />
Eight years later, Shirley won<br />
their first secondary schools 1st XV<br />
Championship in 1968- captained<br />
by Howard Anderson (#94).<br />
In 1972, Shirley took out the title<br />
as the top Christchurch school rugby<br />
team for the second time. This<br />
team featured Steve Scott (#172) at<br />
second five-eight, who gained the<br />
honour of being Shirley’s first All<br />
Black representative.<br />
Craig Green (#251) was a member<br />
of the 1976-78 teams. He later<br />
became the school’s second All<br />
Black representative - a winger for<br />
the 1987 rugby world cup winning<br />
team, playing the final in front of<br />
over 48,000 people.<br />
The first golden era of Shirley<br />
rugby is considered be from 1986<br />
to 1989. The 1986 season saw the<br />
team placed fourth while they<br />
placed second in both 1987 and<br />
1988. In 1989, Shirley gained the<br />
Canterbury Rugby 1st XV title<br />
for the third time in the school’s<br />
history.<br />
Former Crusaders Graeme Jack<br />
(#407) and Matt Sexton (#403)<br />
played through the 1986-1988<br />
seasons, while Gary Stead (#423)<br />
also featured in the 1988 and 1989<br />
teams. Gary later gained recognition<br />
as a Black Cap opening batsman<br />
and head coach.<br />

New look on life after Outward Bound<br />
LAST MONTH, Josh Rae laced<br />
up his boots and ventured to<br />
Anakiwa in the Marlborough<br />
Sounds to attend an Outward<br />
Bound Youth Activate course,<br />
an eight-day adapted course<br />
for young people with physical<br />
disabilities.<br />
Josh is an active teenager who<br />
lives with cerebral palsy and<br />
attends Papanui High School.<br />
He said being on the course<br />
and away from the stresses of<br />
everyday life in the city gave<br />
him the opportunity for selfreflection.<br />
“It was the perfect place to find<br />
your inner peace – it was serene,<br />
calm and quiet. I took time for<br />
myself and as a result, now have<br />
a different outlook on life,” Josh<br />
said.<br />
“Nowhere else but Outward<br />
Bound can you get that<br />
experience – you can’t do it at<br />
home. I loved being outdoors,<br />
away from commitments, school<br />
and tech.”<br />
Outward Bound has offered<br />
adapted courses for the past four<br />
decades. Over the past few years,<br />
the adapted course programme<br />
has expanded to include the<br />
Activate course for people aged<br />
18+ years, the Youth Activate<br />
course for 16–18 year-olds and<br />
the Activate Leaps and Bounds<br />
for 13-15 year-olds, who attend<br />
with a parent or caregiver.<br />
“We believe that there is more<br />
in everyone,” says Outward<br />
Bound diversity and inclusion<br />
partner Leonie King.<br />
“By helping people understand<br />
their full potential we can help<br />
make our communities and the<br />
world a better place.<br />
“The feedback from our<br />
activate courses is phenomenal.<br />
“We see participants of all<br />
ages and abilities growing in<br />
confidence in their physical<br />
capabilities and growing<br />
their resilience and inter-<br />
PROGRAMME: For<br />
teenager Josh Rae, who<br />
lives with celebral palsy,<br />
Outward Bound provided<br />
physical and mental<br />
growth, with challenges<br />
including a tree canopy<br />
traverse.<br />
personal skills.<br />
“Outward Bound is as much<br />
an inward journey as an outward<br />
journey.”<br />
While Josh is a keen kayaker<br />
and footballer and many of the<br />
physical aspects of the course<br />
were doable for him, he found<br />
traversing the tree canopy on<br />
ropes challenging, overcoming<br />
his fears with the help of<br />
encouraging from his instructor.<br />
The Mairehau resident also<br />
made some personal discoveries<br />
over the eight days he was away.<br />
“I was really proud of myself<br />
doing things that challenged me<br />
physically, but I also discovered<br />
that I am a better leader than I<br />
ever thought I was.<br />
“Usually I hang back when<br />
I’m in a group situation, but<br />
during the course when I was<br />
told to lead, I did it and was<br />
good. The skills I learned will<br />
help with my role in the school<br />
leadership team and also with<br />
the volunteering I do for St John<br />
Youth.”<br />
King said Josh’s huria watch<br />
(group) were “amazing young<br />
people” who came together from<br />
all corners of the country to form<br />
a tight-knit watch.<br />
“They departed Outward<br />
Bound standing taller, feeling<br />
prouder and armed with new,<br />
strong friendships. From when<br />
they arrived to when they left,<br />
they showed a strengthened<br />
belief that nothing can stop them<br />
from doing anything they set<br />
their minds to.”<br />
Said Josh: “I would definitely<br />
recommend anyone to go to<br />
Outward Bound. It was different<br />
to what I expected, but in a<br />
good way.”

Mini E agile, effortless and exclusive<br />
• By Bob Nettleton<br />
ELECTRIFICATION adds<br />
another chapter to the epic story<br />
of British automotive icon, the<br />
Mini – now with 64 years on the<br />
clock and going stronger, cleaner<br />
and greener than ever as a bona<br />
fide electric vehicle.<br />
It’s fitting that a variant destined<br />
to power the Mini brand<br />
well into the future is offered in<br />
the company’s traditional threedoor<br />
body style of the ground<br />
breaking original, launched in<br />
1959.<br />
And, rather appropriately, it’s<br />
built in the UK at the Mini factory<br />
in Oxford, the birthplace of<br />
this little legend.<br />
The Mini E has a claimed<br />
range of 233km. This means<br />
out of town excursions demand<br />
careful planning, so you always<br />
know where the nearest fast<br />
charger is. When you find a<br />
50kW fast-charger you can boost<br />
the battery to 80 per cent in 36<br />
minutes.<br />
The Mini Electric Hatch is<br />
based on the distinctive design<br />
of the three-door petrol powered<br />
Cooper S and has distinctive<br />
www.drivesouth.co.nz<br />
exterior accents for a unique<br />
first-ever Mini EV.<br />
For a very small car, albeit a<br />
lavishly appointed one, its sports<br />
a very large $71,155 price sticker.<br />
With a 32.6kWh latestgeneration<br />
lithium-ion battery<br />
on board, producing 135kW of<br />
power and 270nm of torque,<br />
these figures use their collective<br />
heft to produce a quick-smart<br />
0-100km/h acceleration time of<br />
7.3 seconds.<br />
Consistently smooth and<br />
responsive power delivery make<br />
for an enjoyable and fun car to<br />
drive along with its ability to do<br />
everything so effortlessly. This<br />
is urban emission-free motoring<br />
at its finest. A single speed<br />
transmission does a fine job and<br />
is an understated contributor to<br />
making this such a impressive<br />
vehicle.<br />
On thing that strikes you when<br />
stepping into the passenger compartment<br />
is just how small it is.<br />
There’s a reason why this hatch is<br />
called a Mini? If you are used to<br />
driving a larger vehicle, it takes a<br />
while to adjust. It’s a comfortable<br />
two-seater with enough room for<br />
a couple of smaller types to shoe<br />
Incorporating<br />
best motorbuys<br />
horn their way into the back seat<br />
and park up for short trips.<br />
All round visibility is good<br />
for a relatively low-slung car, although<br />
it can make entering and<br />
leaving the vehicle a challenge,<br />
if you aren’t as lithe and nimble<br />
these days.<br />
You’ll need to travel light and<br />
pack clever, as the rear hatch is<br />
tiny. Depositing a decent-size<br />
soft overnight bag consumes<br />
most of the available luggage real<br />
estate.<br />
This is one of the more lavishly<br />
equipped cars in its class – and<br />
so it should be with its hefty $70k<br />
plus asking price. From whatever<br />
angle you look at it, this is a<br />
seriously large sum of money for<br />
such a petite car.<br />
Mini attempts to take some of<br />
the sting out of the price with an<br />
exhaustive list of standard features.<br />
These include 17-inch alloy<br />
wheels (pretty big boots for a<br />
small car), Adaptive LED Headlights,<br />
an exclusive Mini Electric<br />
interior, leather sport seats with<br />
the driver and front passenger<br />
seats heated, head-up and digital<br />
dash and head-up displays.<br />
Electrification is one of the<br />
CAR CITY<br />
EST 1973<br />
Opposite<br />
Uprising<br />
Rock<br />
Climbing<br />
best things to happen to the legendary<br />
Mini. It sets up perfectly<br />
to flourish in an automotive<br />
world transitioning – and it’s<br />
happening faster than you<br />
think, from internal combustion<br />
engines, to electric motors and<br />
batteries.<br />
While this is a defining moment<br />
in the life of one of the<br />
most recognised cars on our<br />
roads, it retains the core values<br />
of the brand, such as agile and<br />
almost perfectly balanced handling<br />
with terrier-like grip.<br />
The steering is a Mini masterpiece<br />
offering plenty of road<br />
feel and a talent for obediently<br />
placing the car where you want it<br />
on the road, with both speed and<br />
accuracy.<br />
