Sensory swimming sessions 

IN A LOUD and busy world, a 

calm, quiet space can be found 

at Pioneer Recreation and Sport 

Centre. 

Every Saturday, the centre 

hosts a two-hour sensory 

swimming session at the learn to 

swim pool within the facility. 

The pool is closed off from 

the busier main pool, there is 

no music, and the lights are 

dimmed. It’s a smaller space, 

with a maximum of 25 people 

allowed. Sensory toys and 

equipment are also available for 

the swimmers. 

The resulting environment is 

a welcoming oasis for customers 

who find swimming pools too 

noisy or congested. 

City council manager 

recreation and sports services, 

David Bailey, said the idea for 

sensory sessions was first trialled 

when staff heard the sessions 

were proving successful in other 

cities. 

The sessions have slowly built 

in popularity. 

“We knew that some people 

were not swimming because 

they found pools too noisy, 

busy or unpredictable. This is a 

way to make leisure swimming 

accessible to more customers 

who just need a quieter, calmer 

space,” he said. 

“Everybody benefits from 

having their sensory needs met, 

whether they have disabilities

“She is very driven and super 

excited. 

“Her focus has kicked into overdrive, 

and she is grateful for the 

opportunity to compete as well. 

Anything donated to help get her 

there would be amazing.” 

Anya will compete in the solo 

trampoline event. 

It comes after she won silver 

and bronze at the Australian 

nationals earlier this year. 

She has won several New 

Zealand titles, and is part of the 

Olympia Gymnastics Sports Club 

in Wigram. 

Leney said the family is looking 

for ways to fundraise for the trip. 

“We are looking for sponsors, 

for a ‘we’ve got your back’ t-shirt, 

which will be her new favourite 

shirt for summer, as a way of 

thanking all the kind people who 

have helped her get there,” she

Hub implementation adviser Peter 

Burley said his last act will be to inform 

the newly formed board of all the other 

hubs they have worked on or are tracking 

and what they did in their first period of 

operation and to connect them with the 

national hub collective. 

“We received a good number of quality 

applications, and this is an exciting 

opportunity for south west Christchurch, 

as there are many opportunities for 

joined up thinking and for collaboration 

to increase sport and rec programmes, 

activities and space activation as well as 

support to clubs. This is a communitydriven 

approach which can only be 

good to increase community capability/ 

resilience in the area,” he said. 

Robinson said discussions began last 

year about forming the collective and 

reaching out to clubs and organisations to 

see if they would like to be involved. 

“I went into the city council to discuss 

something to do with my day job with 

sports liaison adviser Angela Leatherby 

and we got talking about the potential 

of the area. I said I already have those 

connections because of my occupation, 

and I managed to get everyone in a room 

together.” 

He said the hub is now at a point where 

they are reaching out to sports and 

organisations to officially join, with a lot 

of involvement already from Hillmorton 

High School, Halswell Cricket, Halswell 

Football, Halswell Tennis, Halswell Bowls, 

Halswell-Wigram Rugby, Halswell Rugby 

League and Canterbury Rugby Football 

Union. 

“But it has gone out much 

further than that, to all the schools, and 

other sports teams. We are trying to 

get more organisations and individuals 

involved in the core of the hub and we 

want it to grow.” 

Robinson said once the board was 

underway and they start working on their 

next steps – upgrading the facilities at 

parks in the southwestern area – they hope 

more organisations will join. 

“Our main aim is infrastructure; it is a 

growing area and there needs to be better 

facilities. Fields need to be upgraded, there 

needs to be new changing rooms, new 

lighting. This is the first thing we want 

sorted.” 

Robinson said the hub wants to be able

to advocate, support and provide the

“The potential of what it could do for

not just one sports club. Would like to have

Silver band’s 

free concert 

Get more out of your ride 

THE SUMNER Silver Band is holding 

a free concert at the Sumner Town Hall 

Matuku Takotako on Sunday from 

3-5pm. It will form part of the band’s 

preparation for the Provincial Brass 

Band Contest on September 23. 

The band has been a popular and 

integral part of Sumner for well over 

100 years, playing throughout the 

year at functions like Anzac Day and 

Sumner’s Christmas carols, and also 

at venues such as the rest home, local 

farmers’ markets and other community 

gatherings. 

The local character of the band is 

emphasised by its new conductor, 

Victoria van Uden whose husband Paul 

played the trombone in the band as a 

schoolboy. Their son Harry in turn is 

also learning the trombone through the 

band. 

Since becoming the band’s conductor 

and musical director in September last, 

under van Uden’s very capable guidance 

and inspiring baton, the band is enjoying 

a resurgence of interest. 

Membership has grown with a 

number of younger and older people 

joining, though the band is still keen to 

welcome new members and can supply 

instruments if needed. 

Refreshments will be provided for 

a donation to offset hall hire during 

the September 23 concert at Te Aratai

St Thomas’ dream run puts 

them in the big league 

• By Jaime Cunningham 

ST THOMAS of Canterbury 

College completed a dream 

New Zealand secondary schools 

rugby league campaign by 

claiming the national title in 

their first-ever finals appearance 

on Saturday. 

They beat St Paul’s College 

(Auckland) 12-6 in a thrilling final 

to go through the three-day 

tournament unbeaten. 

It was also the first time a 

school outside of Auckland had 

lifted the trophy since 2000. 

A large number of St Thomas’ 

supporters were on the sidelines 

for their second clash against 

St Paul’s of the tournament at 

Bruce Pulman Park, Auckland. 

St Thomas’ were first to score 

in the final, and followed it up 

with another try shortly after. 

Despite trailing early, St Paul’s 

managed to dot down for one 

of their own before the halftime 

break to close the gap to 10-6. 

A hard-fought battle followed 

in the second half, with both 

sides unable to score due to 

some impressive defence. 

However, St Thomas’ extended 

their lead with a penalty kick 

after a high tackle by St Paul’s. 

The two points would go on to 

be the only points added to the 

halftime score, and enough for 

St Thomas’ to claim the national 

title for the first time. 

St Thomas’ had only managed 

to make the semi-finals twice 

before this year, but never the 

final.

But in 2023, St Thomas’ form 

was evident not only in their 

results but also their dominance 

in the national secondary 

schools squad selected following 

the tournament. 

The school boasts nine players 

in the 19-strong squad set to 

play in a fixture against the 

NZ Clubs squad on Labour 

weekend next month. Haeata 

Community Campus was the 

only other Christchurch school 

in any of the four tournaments 

last week. They finished 11th in

Winter stalwarts get a glow-up 

Spring might be 

here, but Steph 

Peirce gets creative 

with late-season 

winter meals 

WHEN YOU think of pumpkin 

soup and slaw you probably don't 

start salivating for dinner. These 

weeknight stalwarts have been 

around for donkey’s years, but 

they have lost their spark. They 

have served us before because 

they are quick and easy, so let's 

just stick with the quick and easy 

part and elevate them to become 

new and improved. Let’s just say 

they're getting a glow-up. Now 

these are versions you can get to 

know and love many times over. 

Winter slaw with toasted 

seeds & creamy tahini 

lemon dressing 

Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan 

Serves 6 

Slaw 

¼ green cabbage 

½ broccoli 

1 green apple 

1 handful mint or parsley, 

roughly chopped 

½ cup currants 

⅓ cup apple cider vinegar (or 

other kind of vinegar) 

¼ cup boiling water 

½ cup seeds – sunflower or 

pumpkin 

1 tsp cumin seeds 

1 tbsp olive oil 

¼ bag rocket leaves (30-40g) 

Dressing 

⅓ cup hulled tahini 

⅓ cup lemon juice (2 lemons) 

¼ cup olive oil 

1 clove garlic, crushed 

¼ cup cold water 

¾ tsp sea salt 

Method 

• In a small bowl combine 

currants, apple cider vinegar and 

boiling water. Set aside 

to absorb. 

• Place a large frying 

pan on medium heat. 

Once hot, lightly toast 

the seeds and cumin 

seeds with olive oil for 

4-5 minutes, tossing 

often. 

• In a small jar, 

combine all of the 

dressing ingredients, 

secure the lid tightly, 

and shake very well to 

combine. 

• Finely shred cabbage 

and broccoli and transfer 

to a large bowl. 

• Grate the apple and 

add to the cabbage. 

• Strain the currants 

and add to the shredded 

salad along with the 

chopped herbs, rocket and 

toasted seeds and mix with clean 

hands or tongs to combine. 

• Pour half of the dressing over 

the salad and toss to combine, 

add more as desired. 

• Transfer salad to a large 

serving plate and serve alongside 

slow cooked meats, barbecues or 

with any winter meal. 

Note 

If you wish to use this salad 

across 2-3 days, leave dressing 

out and add as needed to your 

salad daily. 

Curried pumpkin & 

moong dahl soup 

Gluten-free, dairy-free 

Serves 6 

Ingredients 

3 tbsp coconut oil 

½ leek, finely diced 

2 celery stalks, finely diced 

1½ Tbsp crushed ginger (6cm 

knob) 

3 large garlic cloves, crushed 

1 tsp cumin seeds 

1 tsp black mustard seeds 

1 tsp turmeric 

½ tsp chilli flakes 

1 generous Tbsp mild curry 

powder 

¼ pumpkin (700g), with skin 

removed and deseeded, cut into 

2cm cubes 

1 cup moong dahl* (washed and 

drained) 

1 litre (4 cups) of hot chicken 

stock or bone broth 

1 cup coconut cream 

400ml can of diced tomatoes 

1½ Tbsp runny honey 

Juice of 1 lemon 

Salt and pepper to taste 

Method 

• Heat a large saucepan 

on medium to low heat. 

Add 2 tablespoons of 

coconut oil. Once melted, 

add the diced leeks and 

celery, and sauté for 10-15 

minutes until translucent 

and tender. 

• Scrape the cooked leeks 

and celery to the edges of 

the pot and add the remaining 

coconut oil to the centre of the 

pot with ginger, garlic, cumin 

seeds and black mustard seeds, 

stirring the spices in the middle 

for 2 minutes to ignite the 

flavours. 

• Add turmeric and chilli 

flakes to the pot and mix 

everything together. Cook for 

a minute before adding the 

remaining ingredients except 

honey and lemon juice. 

• Reduce heat to low and 

simmer for 40 minutes. 

• Stir in the lemon juice and 

honey. Season well with salt and 

pepper to taste. 

• Serve with coconut yoghurt 

or unsweetened yoghurt and a 

drizzle of chilli oil. 

Note 

Moong Dahl is available 

at Indian grocers, specialty 

supermarkets and some 

international aisles. Or, you 

could use yellow split peas.
