AN ELDERLY woman who was missing for 

eight weeks before she was found dead in bush 

near the Bridle Path likely died “within a day or 

so”, a coroner’s report reveals. 

Shirley Warrington, 85, went missing on the 

evening of July 10, 2021, after going for a drive 

with her husband, Wallace Warrington. 

Despite a large-scale search, she was not 

found until September 6. Her husband died two 

days before she was found.

Club celebrates in fine style 

THE LYTTELTON CLUB’S 150th Jubilee weekend 

saw several hundred people take part in the 

celebrations. 

Club governing team member Steve Gallop said 

the three-day-long event was “really good”. 

The festivities began on Friday with a welcome 

ceremony at the club, followed by live music and a 

full buffet dinner. 

Saturday featured a car show and poker run tour 

to other Christchurch clubs, which Gallop said was 

a highlight. 

Sunday saw a Bubbles and Brunch event, and a 

closing ceremony with hot drinks and cake. 

“It was a big weekend for the club,” Gallop said.

• By Heidi Slade 

CHARLOTTE Crone and 

her band hope to transport 

audiences back in time with 

their tribute to musician Kate 

Bush, as part of the Lyttelton 

Arts Festival. 

The festival begins on Friday 

and runs for nine days, with 

Crone and her band closing the 

event with the tribute. 

“I love (Kate Bush’s) songwriting, 

it’s so unique,” Crone said. 

“She’s quite a polarizing artist 

. . . The people that love her 

really love her.” 

Kate Bush is an English 

singer-songwriter who rose to 

fame with songs like Wuthering 

Heights, her debut single in 

1978. 

Singing since she was in high 

school, Crone is excited about 

the performance but says she 

feels the pressure of being the 

festival’s closing act. 

“I’m really excited about it. 

“Hopefully it’s like stepping 

back in time.” 

While keeping the performance 

authentic, Crone and the 

band will incorporate audiovisual 

aspects of Bush’s music 

videos. 

“It’s got so much tech involved,” 

Crone said. 

The band is made up of 

Hamish Oliver (keys/synth), 

Doug Brush (drums), Mike 

Fudakowski (bass and vocals), 

Elena Berg (vocals) and guest 

Tamara Smith (flute). 

They will play some of Bush’s

Festival’s closing event on July 9. PHOTO: DEE PATEL 

Festival act ready to shine 

more iconic songs Wuthering 

Heights, Running Up That Hill 

and Babushka. 

The festival combines comedy, 

drama, music and the arts and 

showcases what Lyttelton has 

to offer by featuring locals and 

their crafts. 

The Whakaraupo Carving 

Centre ran a workshop at last 

year’s festival on understanding 

the ideas, designs, creation and 

presentation process of whakairo 

customary practices, and will 

be running it again this year. 

“(It will be about) all of the 

things we have to think about 

while we’re carving,” said manager 

Damian Mackie. 

Other entertainment includes 

a 12-hour movie marathon, 

workshops and cabaret. 

Lyttelton Arts Factory chair 

Joe Bennett said the festival is 

“very Lyttelton”. 

“It’s all done from here. Lyttelton 

is a very creative little place,” 

he said. 

“We deliberately kept prices 

low so people can afford to 

come.” 

The festival ran for the first 

time last year with a two-day 

event. 

“We were just sort of dipping 

our toe in the water last year,” 

but this year is ‘bigger is better’,” 

Bennett said. 

“Our patronage will be 50 

to 60 per cent people coming 

through the tunnel, I expect.”

In Brief 

END OF ERA FOR JETTIES 

Three historical jetties in 

Lyttelton Harbour are being 

dismantled. Built between 

1875 and 1881, the jetties have 

been unused since 1994 and 

are uneconomical to repair. 

Lyttelton Port Company chief 

infrastructure officer Mike 

Simmers said it was sad to see 

the jetties go. “The jetties have 

seen an incredible amount of 

history take place, with their 

construction part of the early 

growth of the port,” Simmers 

said. Construction to remove the 

jetties will begin on July 10. 

BOARD CHANGES FOR 

PORT COMPANY 

The city council has approved a 

new chair and two new directors 

for the Lyttelton Port Company’s 

board. Christchurch City Holdings 

Ltd has appointed Barry Bragg 

as chair and Dr Nicki Craugord 

and Julian Hughes as independent 

directors. Bragg is a chartered 

accountant with governance and 

commercial experience and has 

been an acting interim director for 

LPC since the end of April.

‘Death most likely resulted 

from exposure to the cold’ 

•From page 1 

On July 10, they went for a 

drive and were seen by police in 

Rolleston at 7.20pm when their 

driving came to the attention of 

another motorist. About 8.30pm 

their vehicle was seen on a traffic 

camera travelling on Tunnel Rd, 

Ferrymead. 

At some point, Shirley left 

the car and at about 10.20pm 

the vehicle was seen on a traffic 

camera travelling on Bridle 

Path Rd in Ferrymead with one 

occupant. The car was then seen 

on multiple cameras with just 

one occupant between 1.50am 

and 2.20am on July 11. 

The report said the temperature 

was “sub-zero” the night of July 

10 to 11. About 10.30am on July 

11, Wallace told his daughter he 

did not know where his wife was 

and police spoke to him. 

He was unable to recall the 

circumstances of her leaving 

the car, and where she did so. 

A large-scale search and rescue 

operation then began. 

More than 40 people and 

several police dogs combed 

Ferrymead, the surrounding 

areas, bush tracks and waterways 

for her. 

On September 6, Shirley was 

found about 15m from the Bridle 

Path track in Heathcote. She 

was down a bank in an area of 

“reasonably dense bush”. 

A forensic pathologist did an 

autopsy on Shirley the following 

day. The pathologist believed she 

died from probable hypothermia 

in a person with cardiovascular 

disease, lung disease, and 

dementia. She had no identifiable 

injuries. 

The pathologist concluded she 

was likely to have died “within 

a day or so” of being reported 

missing. 

“Based on the autopsy 

findings and the circumstances 

surrounding the death, as 

currently understood, death most 

likely resulted from exposure 

to the cold with her underlying 

health problems hastening death 

under the stress of environmental 

exposure. Given the lack of 

identifiable injuries, she is 

unlikely to have fallen off the 

cliff,” the pathologist said. 

The police investigation found 

there was nothing suspicious 

about Shirley’s death. 

Her family made a complaint 

to the Independent Police 

Conduct Authority relating to 

the search and rescue effort. The 

IPCA advised the coroner that 

police had spoken with Shirley’s 

son to discuss his concerns and 

to explain the actions they took 

in response to her going missing. 

The son had acknowledged the 

explanation and had the officer’s 

contact details for any further 

questions in the future, the 

report said. 

The IPCA believed it was an 

“appropriate response” to the 

complaint, and no further action 

was taken. Reviews were also 

carried out on the missing person 

investigation and the search and 

rescue operation. 

McKenzie said no concerns 

had been raised in the coronial 

jurisdiction by Shirley’s family 

and there was nothing suspicious 

or “relevantly concerning” about 

the circumstances in which she 

left the car. 

“I am satisfied that opening an 

inquiry would not yield evidence 

disclosing the more specific 

circumstances leading up to Mrs 

Warrington’s death. This is due 

to Mr Warrington being unable 

to recall the circumstances in 

which Mrs Warrington left the 

vehicle and where she did so [Mr 

Warrington cannot now be asked 

for any further information, if 

he were able to provide it]; the 

search and rescue operation 

which examined this to the 

extent it could in real time; the 

extensive traffic camera analysis; 

and there being no witnesses 

apart from Mr Warrington to 

Mrs Warrington leaving the car.”

‘Traumatic’ wait for mum to be found 

• By Sam Sherwood 

SHIRLEY Warrington’s 

daughter Karen Colville 

visits the area where she was 

found every Mother’s Day and 

birthday, leaving flowers by a 

tree. 

She said the eight-week wait 

for her body to be found was 

“traumatic”. She said a group of 

family members were parked 

in a car park a short distance 

from where Shirley would 

later be found, a day after her 

disappearance. 

“[They] were trying to figure 

out where to go next and she 

was right there, but we had no 

indication, all we got told was 

Ferrymead . . . so, of course, 

you search everywhere around 

Ferrymead. “It was like oh, my 

gosh, we were so close but yet so 

far and it was no one’s fault.” 

She felt a sense of relief the 

morning she got the call from 

police to say Shirley had been 

found, having 

read about 

families still 

searching for 

loved ones more 

than 10 years 

on. 

Colville said 

Karen 

Colville 

she had thought 

over various 

explanations for 

what had happened. 

“At the time when she went 

missing, I would say to the police 

how about we look out at 

rivers, you hear of people they 

might’ve got picked up and 

dumped, that was the first thing 

in my mind. 

“[She may have been] hiding 

in a house, someone had taken 

her in and with her dementia she 

wouldn’t know what to say, they 

wouldn’t get anything out of her, 

she could’ve been anywhere, 

could’ve been washed up on a 

beach.” 

Colville had hoped to get a 

more definite time of how long 

Shirley was missing before she 

died. 

“In your mind, you think: 

‘How long did she lie there 

trying to call out for help?’ That’s 

always been in my mind – was it

the first night, did the frost get 

her? The worst part is every time 

I look out to the Port Hills, it’s 

that thought because you always 

look out there when you’re 

looking for her, it’s just one of 

those things.” 

Colville would visit the couple 

every week. She knew her

NEW RELEASES 

Head On - An All Black’s memoir of rugby, dementia, and the 

hidden cost of success by Carl Hayman, With Dylan Cleaver 

Carl Hayman, All Black #1000, once the most highly prized player in world rugby 

and a giant of the game in every sense - someone who was always respected, 

even feared. But at the end of seventeen years as a professional rugby player, 

the last eight played with the sole aim of setting up his family’s future, Hayman’s 

life began to unravel in nightmarish fashion. Head On is about the pressures on 

the modern athlete, where physical performance and commerce collide, and 

players become victims of their own success. Exploited then left out in the cold, 

Hayman is now left counting the hidden cost of the achievements that would 

have exceeded any young rugby player’s wildest dreams. As a relatively young 

man, still in his early 40s, Hayman contends with brain degeneration he should 

only be seeing at the end of his life, not in his prime. This book is also about how 

all of us can better understand how the decisions we make can have unintended 

consequences, and how we can better serve our young sporting talent.

Wavewalker: Breaking Free 

by Suzanne Heywood 

‘A jaw-dropping and thrilling real-life adventure on the high seas for a girl who 

just craved normality and finally found her way back to it’ SARAH BROWN 

Aged just seven, Suzanne Heywood set sail with her parents and brother on 

a three-year voyage around the world. What followed turned instead into a 

decade-long way of life, through storms, shipwrecks, reefs and isolation, with 

little formal schooling. No one else knew where they were most of the time and 

no state showed any interest in what was happening to the children. 

Suzanne fought her parents, longing to return to England and to education 

and stability. This memoir covers her astonishing upbringing, a survival story 

of a child deprived of safety, friendships, schooling and occasionally drinking 

water… At seventeen Suzanne earned an interview at Oxford University and 

returned to the UK. 

Under The Weather - A Future Forecast for New Zealand 

by James Renwick 

The must-read book on what New Zealand’s changing climate means for our 

everyday lives. 

A warmer world will change more than just our weather patterns. It will change 

the look of the land around us, what grows and lives on it - including us. 

In this must-read book, Professor James Renwick untangles how we know 

what the future holds and why it matters to our everyday lives. He looks at New 

Zealand’s increasingly frequent natural disasters, warming and acidifying waters, 

the creep of rising sea levels, and the ways that the changing weather will affect 

our agriculture, lifestyle, food security and economy. 

Under the Weather is a picture of a planet in danger, a reality-check on what that 

means for this country, and a reminder that the shape of our future is up to us. 

Tangi 

by Witi Ihimaera 

The 50th anniversary edition of this award-winning debut novel. First released 

50 years ago, Tangi was Witi Ihimaera’s debut novel and the first to be published 

by a Maori. 

A landmark literary event, it went on to win the James Wattie Book of the Year 

Award. He was just 29 years old at the time. At the centre of the novel is the 

story of a father and son set within a three-day tangihanga. 

Those who love Pounamu, Pounamu will immediately recognise that already 

present are the hallmarks of classic Ihimaera storytelling. Revisiting the text for 

this special anniversary edition, Witi has added richer details and developed the 

nascent themes that have continued to preoccupy him over a lifetime of writing. 

Return with him to where it all began. 

The Last Lifeboat 

by Hazel Gaynor 

Liverpool 1940. Alice King stands on the deck of SS Carlisle, waiting to escort a 

group of children to Canada as overseas evacuees. She is finally doing her bit 

for the war. 

In London, as the Blitz bombs rain down and the threat of German invasion 

looms, Lily Nicholls anxiously counts the days for news of her son and 

daughter’s safe arrival. But when disaster strikes in the Atlantic, Alice and Lily 

– one at sea, the other on land – will quickly become one another’s very best 

hope. The events of one night, and the eight unimaginable days that follow, will 

bind the two women together in unforgettable ways. 

Inspired by a remarkable true story, The Last Lifeboat is a gripping and 

triumphant tale of love, courage and hope against the odds.

“We want to improve safety

“These upgrades will

The road markings 

will be changed and 

the existing parking 

restrictions outside Lyttelton 

School will be extended, 

resulting in two additional

“The upgrade will

WATER TESTING in Lyttelton 

Harbour, Akaroa and the

humans, birds and dogs are among 

the sources of contamination. 

Environment Canterbury under

faecal pollution is entering the water 

after rainfall. 

ECan surface water science manager 

Dr Elaine Moriarty said the 

city council is now leading an investigation 

into how the contaminants 

are entering waterways in the area. 

“The investigation is complex as 

every public and private connection 

poses a potential contamination

some time,” Moriarty said. 

Water contaminated by human or

viruses, bacteria and protozoa, 

which can cause gastrointestinal,

People should avoid eating shellfish 

from the harbour after heavy 

rainfall and remove the gut and

Noisy vessels not welcome 

at port from June next year 

Charitable Trust 

DRIVER EDUCATION 


NOISY VESSELS will not be 

let into Lyttelton from this 

time next year due to new 

noise specification. 

The Lyttelton Port 

Company and 12 other 

New Zealand ports have 

committed to the ship noise 

specification. 

Container vessels entering 

the port after June 1 must 

provide a certified noise 

measurement protocol, 

which would include a noise 

label score or confirmation a 

reactive silencer is fitted. 

The higher the noise label 

score, the quieter the ship. 

A minimum score of zero is 

needed for the vessel to be let 

into the port. 

LPC has determined a 

score less than zero is likely 

to generate community noise 

concerns. If presenting 

a negative score, the 

owner of the vessel 

would be notified and 

given up to six months 

to address the issue. 

If the noise label 

score does not change, 

the vessel would not be 

allowed in. 

Phil de Joux 

LPC chief corporate 

affairs officer Phil 

de Joux said the 

initiative was “a leap 

forward”. 

“Ports have been 

working together for 

a number of years to 

reduce noisy ships in 

ports,” de Joux said. 

So far this year, 

LPC has received 

36 noise-related 

complaints. 

Lyttelton 

Community 

Association chair 

Ken Maynard 

said the new 

specifications 

seemed like a good 

solution. 

“The port company 

Ken 

Maynard 

is actually trying much 

harder in recent years. 

They do take some 

notice of what the locals 

say about noise issues,” 

Maynard said. 

He said the noise 

mainly bothers 

residents at night but 

was optimistic the 

regulations would help.

New principal encourages pupils to 

make the most of every opportunity 


TE RAEKURA Redcliffs 

School’s new principal Nick 

Leith is setting an example 

for pupils by giving the role “a 

crack”. 

When asked what his No. 1 

message to pupils was, Leith 

said: “You get a lot of opportunities 

in life at school. Always look 

for the reason that you should 

take them, not the reasons that 

you shouldn’t. 

“Don’t be afraid to give something 

a crack, and I suppose 

that’s what I’m doing right now.” 

Leith took over the role in May 

after Rose McInerney, who had 

been at the school for 22 years, 

resigned. 

McInerney played an instrumental 

role in the fight to keep 

Redcliffs School open and then 

oversaw the design and build 

of a new site, which the school 

moved to in 2020. 

“It’s a really high-functioning 

school I’ve come into, which is a 

real luxury as a new principal,” 

Leith said. 

“You bring a fresh set of eyes. 

“But it is really important to 

honour that hard work too.” 

Leith came to Redcliffs after 

being deputy principal at Casebrook 

Intermediate, where he 

had taught for 12 years. 

“What led me here was it’s a 

really exciting opportunity for a 

new principal, in the sense that 

it’s a wonderful space to learn, a 

great community to work in and 

work for, and it was a really wellrun 

school. 

“It’s a great place to go to work 

every day, you get a sunrise on 

the way to work and a sunset on 

the way home. That’s not a bad 

deal,” he said. 

Leith has taken time to get 

to know the pupils and their 

families. 

“The highlights are the kids, 

obviously,” he said. 

The pupils wrote Leith letters 

about themselves, what they 

liked about school and what they 

thought could make the school a 

better place. 

“I’ve learned through reading 

those and talking to them – if 

they have brothers or sisters here,

where they like to play. They all 

have ideas about what a perfect 

school is.” 

Leith said the letters told him 

younger pupils enjoyed special 

days and events, and older pupils 

liked spaces to do work independently. 

Road patrol has also started 

again, which Leith said presents 

a good leadership opportunity 

for Year 6 pupils. 

“Road patrol is a big thing in 

our community because it wasn’t 

happening,” he said. 

“That’s been a good way to 

show the community we can 

solve any sort of problem. 

“It’s great to be a leader in your 

school when you’re not the oldest. 

And they enjoy a cup of Milo 

after a tough shift. 

“That’s what kids remember 

about school. You remember all 

the learning you did, sort of, but 

you definitely remember all the 

different stuff.” 

Leith said he couldn’t recall 

the exact moment he knew he 

wanted to be a teacher, but knew 

he loved people. 

“To be honest, I think I 

must’ve been told by enough 

people that you’re really good 

with kids, you’d be a good teacher. 

I’m one of those people that 

loves learning about stuff and 

working with people. 

“It’s a tiring job, but it’s not a 

job that makes you tired because 

it’s bad. There’s a lot of stuff 

out there about the challenge 

of teaching but actually, you’re 

working with people and if you 

enjoy working with people that’s 

your fundamental reason for 

doing it.”

UNSTOPPABLE: Openside flanker Mitch Cox charges into open space in the Wave’s ‘battle of the beaches’ clash. Right – Sumner fullback Terrence 

Graham makes a desperate dive for the tryline.

BATTLE OF THE BEACHES 

Epic comeback win for the Wave 

• By Jaime Cunningham 

THE SCRIPT couldn’t have been 

better written for the Sumner 

Wave’s epic 12-10 comeback win 

against New Brighton in the 

annual ‘battle of the beaches’ 

clash on Saturday. 

Securing one of eight playoff 

spots is now simple for Sumner – 

beat Burnside in the last regular 

season game on the weekend and 

the team have determined their 

own destiny. 

The Wave were down 7-0 for 

majority of the Fulton Shield 

match following a first-half try to 

New Brighton, who had the star 

power of former All Black Ryan 

Crotty at centre. A successful 

penalty kick then extended New 

Brighton’s lead to 10-0 in the 

second half. 

However, it was a gritty 

Sumner side who turned 

attacking momentum into points 

when it mattered most. 

Captain Tom Ziolo managed 

to put the Wave on the score 

board late in the second half, 

before left wing Frankie 

Read dotted down with five 

minutes to go. 

Fullback Terrence Graham 

had previously missed his first 

conversion attempt, but was able 

to calmly slot the second from 

a similar spot to take the Falton 

Shield. New Brighton had won 

the shield last year, 35-17. 

It was a fitting win for Sumner, 

who celebrated their club day on 

Saturday – as well as life member 

Scott Robertson’s seventh title as 

Crusaders head coach later that 

night. 

Sumner sit seventh on the 

standings with 29 points 

following the clash. A win in the 

Wave’s last round-robin match 

against Burnside would see the 

team secure a playoffs spot – a 

complete turnaround from last 

season’s struggle. 

Last year, Sumner only 

managed to win one game in 

the regular season – against this 

week’s opponents, 26-19. This 

year, a win against Burnside has 

much more riding on it.

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 

HMS Achilles an object of curiosity 

LARGE CROWDS began to 

gather at the port of Ōhinehou 

Lyttelton on Sunday, November 

15, 1936, arriving by motor 

vehicle and electric train, with 

extra passenger services having 

been added to cope with the 

expected influx of sightseers. 

The object of the crowd’s 

curiosity was the latest addition 

to the New Zealand Division of 

the Royal Navy, the light cruiser 

HMS Achilles. 

Built by Cammell Laird 

at Birkenhead in the United 

Kingdom, she was laid down 

on June 11, 1931, launched 

on September 1, 1932, and 

commissioned into the British 

Royal Navy on October 10, 1933. 

A Leander-class light cruiser, 

she displaced 7390 metric tons, 

was 169.3m long, with a 17m 

beam and a 5.8m draught, and 

carried a full complement of 680 

crew. 

Six Yarrow boilers feeding four 

Parsons geared steam turbines 

driving four shafts produced 

73,280 shaft horsepower 

(54,640kW) for a top speed 

of 32.5 knots (60 km/h) and a 

range of 5730 nautical miles 

(10,610km) at a cruising 

speed of 13 knots (24 km/h). 

The Achilles main armament 

consisted of eight 6-inch (152 

mm) guns in four twin turrets 

fore and aft. This formidable 

array was complemented by four 

4-inch (102 mm) coastal defence 

and heavy anti-aircraft guns, 12 

Vickers machine guns, and eight 

torpedo tubes. 

HMS Achilles was the first 

British warship to carry the 

catapult-launched Supermarine 

Walrus amphibious plane, 

later also fitted to the 

Royal Australian Navy’s 

flagship HMAS Canberra. 

Newly designed and built at 

Supermarine’s Southampton 

UK facility, the walrus was 

unique for its time with an allmetal 

fuselage, and was used in 

reconnaissance, rescue and antisubmarine 

duties. Aside from 

the walrus, the Achilles would 

later make use of a novel radio 

controlled aerial drone, the 

DH.82 Queen Bee. 

After serving with the 

British Home Fleet for two 

years, in November 1935 

HMS Achilles was assigned to 

the Royal Navy’s New Zealand 

Division. 

While RN warships were 

traditionally crewed by British 

sailors, the formation of the New 

Zealand Royal Naval Volunteer 

Reserves in 1926 had led to a 

growing cadre of New Zealand 

born seamen serving with his 

Majesty’s naval forces. 

A decade later, when Achilles 

was recommissioned into the 

New Zealand Division on March 

31, 1936, a majority of her crew 

were proudly New Zealand born 

and bred. 

As the modern flagship of a 

naval service that was well on 

its way to becoming the New 

Zealand navy, it’s no wonder 

she drew ‘huge crowds’ on 

her inaugural cruise around 

the country. After calling in 

at Wellington, she embarked 

for her second port of call at 

Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour, 

arriving on November 13, 1936. 

The welcome activities began 

early with a complement of crew 

from Achilles marching in good 

order to St Saviour’s Church 

in West Lyttelton to attend a 

service led by Reverend Malden. 

By 1.45pm, the crowd on the 

wharf had grown so large the 

gangways were opened early to 

accommodate the 7500 people 

who patiently waited their turn 

to inspect ‘their’ cruiser through 

to 6pm. 

The following morning, 170 

ratings, including the Royal 

Marines’ band and seven officers, 

marched through the streets of 

Ōtautahi Christchurch from the 

railway station, up Manchester 

St to Cathedral Square, where 

the salute was taken by Mayor 

Beanland. Following this, the 

crew were treated to morning tea 

at Christ’s College. 

The Achilles left Lyttelton 

port on November 17, calling 

at Akaroa and Dunedin before 

sailing up the West Coast and 

finally arriving at Auckland on 

December 3, 1936. 

Just three years later she would

https://www.teuaka.org.nz/online-collection/1009567 

join HMS Exeter and Ajax in 

a deadly engagement with the 

Kriegsmarine heavy cruiser Graf 

Spee. The first naval engagement 

of World War 2, the famous 

Battle of the River Plate, 

would lead to the loss of four 

of Achilles seamen on December 

13, 1939, followed by the selfdestruction 

of the Nazi warship 

in the harbour of Montevideo. 

On October 1, 1941, 

the Royal Navy ended its 

long association with the 

British Crown’s Australasian 

Dominions when the Royal 

New Zealand Navy was decreed, 

and the HMNZS Achilles was 

recommissioned once again. 

This famous New Zealand 

cruiser would go on to see 

action in the Pacific war at 

Guadalcanal in 1942-43 and 

at Okinawa, Japan, in 1945. At 

war’s end, Achilles returned to 

Royal Navy service in the UK 

in September 1946, having only 

been on loan to the RNZN, 

and was then sold on to the 

Indian Navy where she was 

commissioned as INS Delhi in 

July 1948. 

After a further 30 years of 

service, she was scrapped in 

HMS Achilles in Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour c. 1936-38.

Te Aratai College: 

Matariki 2023 

Celebrating what has always been with us, what is now and what is yet to come. 

Ngā mihi o Matariki, te tau hou Māori! Wishing us all a 

happy Māori New Year! 

Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo e lelei. Bula. 

Fakaalofa atu. Namaste and Kumusta. Greetings to 

everyone at Te Aratai College and our wider Te Aratai 

community. 

One of the many joys of being in Aotearoa-New Zealand 

in 2023 is the continuing movement of our wonderful 

country’s development towards being truly Aotearoa-New 

Zealand, a bi-cultural nation embracing the diversity of 

multi-cultural communities. And not just being in A-NZ but 

specifically being part of our Te Aratai College community. 

What is Matariki? (Te Wananga o Aotearoa) 

The appearance of Matariki in the morning sky in midwinter 

marks the Māori New Year, or Te Mātahi o te 

Tau. Matariki is the star cluster that is most commonly 

known as Pleiades or M45. The arrival of Matariki is a 

sign for people to gather, to honour the dead, celebrate 

the present and plan for the future. From this comes the 

phrase ‘Matariki hunga nui’ - the many people of Matariki. 

For early Māori, astronomy was interwoven into all facets 

of life. Meticulous observations of the movements of the 

stars and planets, the changing position of the sun, the 

phases of the moon and the appearance of anomalies 

such as comets and meteors were recorded and handed 

down from generation to generation as part of Māori oral 

tradition. This knowledge was connected to seasonal 

activities such as planting and harvesting, the flowering 

of plants, the spawning of fish and the natural cycles of 

the environment. This astronomical knowledge sits at the 

heart of our many regional ecological calendar systems 

that guided Māori from season to season. 

I use the marker of Matariki to recognise both the 

progress brought about through the steadfast endeavours 

and struggles of previous generations and the journey 

still ahead with all the determination and wisdom that will 

be needed for this. However, as a school teacher and 

principal, I have immense faith in the present generation 

- your children - who inspire me with faith and hope for 

the future of our nation. They will shine as, life-long, they 

continually build on our school uara, our school values: 

Manaakitanga: the process of showing respect, 

generosity and care for others 

Whanaungatanga: a relationship through shared 

experiences and working together which provides 

people with a sense of belonging 

Rangatiratanga: self-determination and selfmanagement 

Tūrangawaewae: where one has the right to stand 

What promise our students, your children hold, growing 

the seeds of all the good things that they will do over their 

coming decades of this 21st century. 

Akakoa he iti, he pounamu. 

It may be small but it is still pounamu, it is still precious. 

Ngā mihi nui – best wishes 

Richard Edmundson 

Tumuaki-Principal 

Aside from the learning that occurs in our different 

Learning Areas around our kura, Te Aratai College 

also commemorated Matariki with two events on 

Thursday. The first was our “Celebration of Learning” 

held in Tāhuhu (Y7 and Y8 Learning Area). This was 

an opportunity for whānau to visit and ākonga to 

share their amazing Matariki installations with their 

chosen whetū. 

In the evening we hosted our Hui ā-Whānau, which 

coincided with Matariki this year. This gave whānau 

the opportunity to come together and enjoy games, 

goal setting, and culminating with a delicious spread 

of BBQ, Parāoa Parai-fry bread, steamed pudding 

and ice cream. The main focus of our Hui ā-Whānau 

was a chance for whānau and ākonga to reflect on 

their learning progress and set goals for the following 

year. In a similar way that constellations have guided 

us in the past, Matariki is an opportunity for reflection 

that can help us plan ahead.

New AED at Te Raekura Redcliffs School 

THE SUMNER Ferrymead 

Foundation provided Te Raekura 

Redcliffs School with the funds 

to purchase an automated 

external defibrillator – or an 

AED as they are commonly 

known – after former principal 

Rose McInerney heard how a 

grandparent at another school 

had a cardiac arrest when 

dropping off their grandchild 

She then contacted the foundation 

to see if it could assist in 

the purchase of an AED for the 

school. 

An AED is a portable medical 

device used when a person 

is suffering a cardiac arrest. 

Sudden cardiac arrest is one of 

the leading causes of death in 

New Zealand and is caused by 

an electrical problem – unlike a 

heart attack, which is caused by a 

blood circulation problem. 

The device analyses the heart’s 

rhythm and, when required, 

delivers an electric shock to help 

re-establish an effective rhythm; 

this can increase someone’s 

survival chances by up to 44 per 

cent. They are intended for use 

by the general public as the device 

tells you exactly what to do. 

Principal Nick Leith said they 

chose an AED that can be used 

on both children and adults at a 

flick of a switch. 

“We have sited it on the main 

building where it’s clearly visible, 

whether you enter the school 

from the Main Rd entrance 

LIFESAVING: Te Raekura Redcliffs School principal Nick Leith and Sumner Ferrymead 

Foundation trustee John Christensen with the new AED, located at the school. 

or from Beachville Rd. We’d 

encourage all residents to 

familiarise themselves with its 

location, just in case they need to 

use it one day.” 

Sumner Ferrymead Foundation 

trustee John Christensen 

said this was the second AED 

unit the foundation has funded. 

“We are all about locals helping 

locals, and this is a perfect 

example of how we can add value 

to our community. 

“Like an insurance policy, 

you hope it won’t be needed, 

but if the need arises it’s good 

to know it’s there. Given more 

than 2000 New Zealanders are 

treated for sudden cardiac arrest 

in the community, the risk is 

real. There are several apps you 

can put on your phone that list 

the locations of AEDs closest to 

you – it is something we should 

all consider doing now rather 

than waiting for the emergency 

to arise,” he said. 

HOW TO USE AN AED 

1. Ring 111 and tell 

the operator you need 

the code to open 

the AED unit at your 

location 

For example, Te 

Raekura Redcliffs School, 

or quote the number 

of the AED (273 in this 

case). 

Someone should 

remain with the patient 

and perform CPR 

while the AED is being 

retrieved. 

2. Open the cabinet 

and remove both the 

AED and the pouch 

Take it to the patient 

ASAP as minutes count. 

3. Open the AED, push 

the ON button 

It will talk you through 

each step of the process 

clearly and simply. 

The 111 operator will 

remain on the phone 

until the ambulance 

arrives. 

Return the AED unit 

to the cabinet when no 

longer required. 

Get out of the cold 

and into art this winter.
