School’s 150th jubilee a<br />
weekend to remember<br />
FROM 5 TO 96: The youngest student, Frankie Woods, and the oldest<br />
ex-student, Ida Clancy, cut the cake together at the St Albans School<br />
150th jubilee. Meanwhile, live music from students and parents<br />
entertained the 400-plus attendees.<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
THE OLDEST, the youngest and<br />
everyone in-between joined in the St<br />
Albans School 150th jubilee celebrations<br />
at the weekend.<br />
From five-years-old to 96-years-old,<br />
past, present and future pupils came<br />
together to reminisce about the school’s<br />
long history of learning.<br />
“It was a fantastic weekend of<br />
reconnection and celebration,” said<br />
organiser and digital technology teacher<br />
Sam Pelham.<br />
“Nearly 400 people attended the Friday<br />
morning pōwhiri, and the same amount<br />
stayed for the entire first day.”<br />
Friday saw the big crowd catching<br />
up over morning tea, school tours,<br />
performances, tree planting, a memorial<br />
plaque unveiling and a time capsule<br />
planting.<br />
“Every student put an item that relates<br />
to <strong>2023</strong> into the capsule, from games,<br />
toys, photos to pounamu and trinkets,”<br />
said Pelham.<br />

everything – from biology to<br />
chemistry and physics to earth<br />
sciences – so you need a range of<br />
in-depth knowledge,” Angus said.<br />

committed to sharing their skills<br />
and talents with others, being<br />
involved in tutoring and community<br />
projects.<br />

Godwits<br />
return<br />
heralds<br />
spring<br />
THE BAR-TAILED godwits<br />
have touched down on the Avon-<br />
Heathcote Ihutai Estuary, landing<br />
earlier than usual.<br />
The first newly arriving birds<br />
were spotted on <strong>September</strong> 9 by<br />
ornithologist Grahame Bell, who<br />
was checking on the birds at the<br />
request of the city council.<br />
Bell reported a flock of 290<br />
birds, with some still showing<br />
vestiges of red breeding plumage<br />
– which they usually moult prior<br />
to departure from the Arctic.<br />
The birds landed after a six-toeight<br />
day non-stop flight covering<br />
a distance of 11,700km from the<br />
Yukon river delta in Alaska.<br />
City council parks ecologist<br />
Andrew Crossland said this was<br />
the second earliest arrival on<br />
record, two days later than last<br />
year.<br />
“Over the next few weeks<br />
another 1000+ godwits are<br />
expected to arrive on the estuary,”<br />
he said.<br />
“We can also expect additional<br />
flocks of 200-400 arriving<br />
elsewhere in the Christchurch<br />
area at each of the Brooklands<br />
Lagoon, Lyttelton Harbour and<br />
Lake Ellesmere.”<br />
‘It was amazing to see old<br />
and new faces pitch in’<br />

“A lot of the students have<br />
been a big part of the process of<br />
the jubilee, helping in various<br />
ways, as well as the staff,<br />
teachers, boards, and parents at<br />
St Albans,” said Pelham.<br />
A memories morning was<br />
held on Saturday, where schoolmates,<br />
teachers and associates<br />
caught up over a catered morning<br />
tea and cake.<br />
“The jubilee cake was cut by<br />
Ida Clancy, our oldest ex-student<br />
at 96, and our youngest student,<br />
Frankie Woods, who is five,”<br />
said Pelham.<br />
“The best part of the jubilee<br />
was seeing the older and younger<br />
generations get together, from<br />
all walks of life, with the same<br />
common theme – the school.”<br />
A school gala day with food<br />
trucks, a community picnic and<br />
musical performances from<br />
students and staff was held on<br />
Sunday.<br />
“The jubilee weekend has<br />
been a year in the making, and<br />
it turned out to be a real highlight,”<br />
said Pelham.<br />
“The school is a place for<br />
connection and the essence of<br />
people has stayed the same for<br />
the last 150 years.”<br />
Michael Williams, the longeststanding<br />
teacher of the school<br />
with 30 years of service, MC’ed<br />
the ceremony, with many students<br />
and ex-students speaking,<br />
performing and sharing.<br />
“The school has changed over<br />
the last 150 years, but the highquality<br />
teaching has remained a<br />
focus,” said Pelham.<br />
“Many families have gone<br />
right through the school from<br />
grandparents, to parents, to children<br />
– it was amazing to see old<br />
and new faces pitch in.”<br />
With the celebrations over, the<br />
current students will continue<br />
to learn about the school’s 150<br />
years of operations, as well as<br />

Ravioli, cod, frangipane propels<br />
young chef into the limelight<br />
PAN FRIED Murray cod helped<br />
Joosje Bouman stand out in a<br />
prestigious chef competition in<br />
Sydney.<br />
The 22-year-old St Albans<br />
resident was awarded three<br />
bronze medals, one for each of<br />
her courses, at the Nestlé Golden<br />
Chef’s Hat Award competition.<br />
It was her first time competing<br />
at the grand finals. Bouman won<br />
the South Island regional heat of<br />
the competition earlier this year.<br />
She decided to enter the<br />
competition because of the opportunity<br />
it presented to further<br />
her skills and connect with other<br />
young chefs.<br />
Bouman, who works as a sous<br />
chef at Kaisar Brew Garden,<br />
impressed the judges with the<br />
execution and delivery of her<br />
three-course menu to earn the<br />
haul of bronze medals.<br />
She was up against 11 other<br />
young top chefs from across<br />
Australia and New Zealand who<br />
were all vying to be crowned<br />
Golden Chef of the Year. Along<br />
with the other competitors, she<br />
had to develop and perfect a<br />
three course menu in the lead up<br />
to the live cook off.<br />
Bouman’s menu was a ravioli<br />
entrée with a homemade ricotta<br />
and spinach mix on a tomato<br />
TASTY: Two of Joosje Bouman’s courses that helped her<br />
take three bronze medals – pan fried Murray cod and a<br />
caramel frangipane dessert.<br />
base sauce, served with a shaved<br />
asparagus salad. Her main was<br />
pan-fried Murray cod, served<br />
with a beurre blanc, gremolata,<br />
pickled mushroom, and crispy<br />
potatoes. For dessert, she created<br />
a frangipane, caramelised pear,<br />
caramel sauce, macadamia, and<br />
oat crumb served with a tuille.<br />
Chef judge Darren Wright said<br />
being part of the Golden Chef’s<br />
Hat competition gives the next<br />
generation of chefs like Bouman<br />
the opportunity to put themselves<br />
to the test, improve their<br />
cooking skills and connect with<br />
like-minded chefs as well as the<br />
broader industry.<br />
“Joosje delivered some stand<br />
out dishes on the day while<br />
under immense pressure. Just to<br />
make it this far and then to win<br />
medals is a tremendous achievement<br />
that she should be hugely<br />
proud of,” he said.<br />
The overall winner of the event<br />
was Melbourne chef Jimmy Han.<br />

Trailblazing ‘GirlBosses’ encourage<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
STUDENTS FROM high schools<br />
in the Nor’west <strong>News</strong> area<br />
have shined at the Canterbury<br />
GirlBoss awards.<br />
Christchurch Girls’ High<br />
School student Bethany Crossan<br />
(above) was awarded the GirlBoss<br />
inclusion award, Burnside High<br />
School’s Charlotte Mortlock<br />
received the sports award, and St<br />
Margaret’s College’s Millie Edwards<br />
received the STEM award<br />
(science, technology, engineering<br />
and mathematics).<br />
Bethany was recognised for her<br />
efforts to include her Māori heritage<br />
and culture into everyday life.<br />
“I am passionate about providing<br />
a voice for rangatahi Māori<br />
and community. I’ve worked<br />
with many (school) principals for<br />
the last two years to create a more<br />
inclusive environment,” she said.<br />
“I have created many te reo resources<br />
for staff, students and the<br />
community, and have spoken on<br />
the Māori panel for the Ministry<br />
of Education.”<br />
She has also initiated kaupapa,<br />
such as creating a Matariki<br />
display, Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori<br />
videos, and mentored tamariki to<br />
become confident speakers and<br />
Māori leaders.<br />
“All my life, people have told<br />
me that Māori aren’t academically<br />
inclined and are only good<br />
at sports,” she said.<br />
“This motivated me to prove<br />
them wrong – I have learnt to<br />
celebrate my differences as a<br />
superpower rather than hide my<br />
being Māori.”<br />
Bethany was awarded $1000<br />
and she will put the money towards<br />
further education.<br />
“The awards are an amazing<br />
opportunity,” she said. “Whether<br />
you win an award or not, you are<br />
still a girl boss and are capable of<br />
inspiring others.”<br />
SPORTS AWARD: Charlotte<br />
Mortlock is a part of four<br />
football teams, including<br />
the Canterbury United<br />
Pride Women’s team.<br />
INCLUSION AWARD:<br />
Bethany Crossan’s<br />
superpower is her Māori<br />
culture and she is proud of<br />
her differences.<br />

“It is a massive honour to be<br />
awarded the sports award and to<br />
have my hard work noticed and<br />
acknowledged. It was definitely<br />
worth it,” said Charlotte.<br />
Charlotte was chosen as the recipient<br />

STEM AWARD: Millie Edwards is passionate about robotics, and was recognised as a GirlBoss for her efforts in competing<br />
and tutoring over the last six years. She and robotics partner Bea Mcglashen won the Junior Robocup this year.<br />
researching and creating.<br />
“I have been working with<br />
robotics for about six years,<br />
after being asked to participate<br />
in a team at Halswell Primary<br />
School,” said the 15-year-old.<br />
“I fell in love with it and now<br />
it’s my passion. I’ve competed six<br />
times at the Robocup Junior New<br />
Zealand competition, held in<br />
Auckland, and the EPro8 competition<br />
through school.”<br />
Millie is mentoring year 3-6<br />

the last few years, and it is nice to<br />
have my achievements looked at<br />

was an amazing event – thank<br />
you to Alexia and Vicky from<br />
GirlBoss, as well as StanTec, for<br />
sponsoring the award and being<br />
an amazing group of people.”<br />
She too won $1000 and<br />
will put the money towards<br />
developing her not-for-profit<br />
STEM programme and further<br />
education.<br />
“I’m in the concept designing<br />
phase of this programme, which<br />
is designed to encourage other<br />
younger women to get into robotics.”<br />
Meanwhile, Charlotte has been<br />
contributing to the development<br />
of younger women in football<br />
in Christchurch, by working<br />
with tamariki across three hubs<br />
and coaching on the Fantails programme.<br />
“I’ve been playing football<br />
since I was seven-years-old,” said<br />
Charlotte.<br />
“I now play nationally for<br />
the Canterbury United Pride<br />
Women’s team.”<br />
Hoping to fly to Sydney next<br />
year and find a team to play with<br />

Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to sell a property at a time when<br />
the market was not favorable. It is times like that where an agent with<br />
Cameron’s experience and expertise is worth their salt. Unphased by what the<br />
market was doing, Cameron provided us with a realistic (and ultimately very<br />
accurate) expectations about what we might expect price wise, and he gave<br />
sage advice on how we were best to achieve a sale.<br />
There is no BS with Cameron - he and his team just focus on getting<br />
the job done. It is no accident that he is the number one agent at<br />
Harcourts.<br />

Zonta conference inspiring women<br />
MORE THAN 160 business<br />
and professional women from<br />
throughout New Zealand<br />
will be in Christchurch later<br />
this month for the biennial<br />
Zonta International District 16<br />
Conference.<br />
Well-known locally for<br />
activities like the annual Zonta<br />
Sports Awards, recognising<br />
secondary school sportspeople,<br />
and the Yellow Rose Run/Walk<br />
(coming up on October 8 in<br />
Hagley Park), Zonta has 27 clubs<br />
nationwide. Their goal is to<br />
build a better world for women<br />
and girls, locally, nationally and<br />
worldwide, through service and<br />
advocacy.<br />
District 16 Governor Phillippa<br />
Jacobs-Lory, a member of the<br />
Zonta Club of Christchurch-<br />
Canterbury<br />
says the<br />
national<br />
conference<br />
this weekend<br />
provides a<br />
chance for<br />
like-minded<br />
Phillippa<br />
Jacobs-Lory<br />
women to<br />
learn, to<br />
network, and<br />
to be reinvigorated.<br />
“It’s an honour to be holding<br />
the conference here – Deputy<br />
Mayor Pauline Cotter is going<br />
to open the programme – and<br />
the whole weekend has been<br />
designed to be inspiring for<br />
LIGHTS: As part of the ‘Zonta says no to violence against women’ campaign, Christchurch buildings have previously been<br />
lit up in orange.<br />
everyone. Zontians in New<br />
Zealand are doing terrific work<br />
for women and girls, here and<br />
overseas. Our power lies in the<br />
fact that we’re an international<br />
organisation with the ability<br />
to support programmes<br />
worldwide,” she said.<br />
“This conference is going<br />
to provide an opportunity for<br />
us to learn more about our<br />
advocacy work for women’s<br />
rights and how we are making<br />
a tangible difference for many<br />

the specific projects funded and<br />
the outcomes delivered and a<br />
“surprise” keynote speaker will<br />

Surprise wins for young surfer<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
A FRANTIC week surfing the<br />
east coast of Australia has paid<br />
off for Jack Tyro, who achieved<br />
his goal of competing in a World<br />
Surf League longboarding event<br />
for the first time.<br />
Year 12 Hagley College student<br />
Tyro finished 17th equal in the<br />
Bioglan Bells Beach Longboard<br />
Classic, 100km south-west of<br />
Melbourne, after winning<br />
two other events in the 48 hours<br />
prior.<br />
Reaching the pro-tour<br />
competition had been a longterm<br />
goal for 16-year-old Tyro,<br />
who said competing at the event<br />
was an overwhelming moment.<br />
“While surfing against the<br />
world’s best I felt nothing but awe<br />
as I sat beside them in the heat,”<br />
he said.<br />
“Knowing that I was making<br />
them uncomfortable and giving<br />
them a challenge was a thrill in<br />
itself.”<br />
It was a hectic week for Tyro,<br />
who won the junior (under-18)<br />
division at the Byron Bay Surf<br />
Festival on August 27, before<br />
jetting off to Melbourne eight<br />
hours later.<br />
The next day, Tyro was back<br />
in the water, and managed to<br />
narrowly win the final of the<br />
Bells Beach Longboard Classic<br />
trials.<br />
Held at Torquay Point, Tyro<br />
scored 6.00 on his first wave<br />
alongside Australian Clinton<br />
Guest. Although Guest moved<br />
into first place with his next two<br />
waves, Tyro claimed the title<br />
with a 6.50 ride to win by 1.05<br />
points.<br />
As a result, Tyro qualified<br />
for the Bioglan Bells Beach<br />
Longboard Classic with a<br />
wildcard.<br />
Tyro said he didn’t realise he<br />
had won until 10 minutes after<br />
the final.<br />
“To think I was even in<br />

consideration for the wild card<br />
spot was overwhelming,” he said.<br />
“Everything I had done had<br />
come down to that moment.”<br />

Kōrero mai, let’s talk about our<br />
Safer speed plan<br />
Way safer for everyone<br />
We’re planning to make more speed limit<br />
changes in some areas across Christchurch.<br />
Lower speeds can save lives and prevent serious injury.<br />
Reducing our speed makes a major difference in a crash.<br />
People make mistakes on our roads, and those mistakes<br />
shouldn’t cost our neighbours, whānau or pets their lives.<br />
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency have changed the way<br />
speed limits are set. This gives us an opportunity to plan an<br />
area-wide approach for speed changes.<br />
We’re asking for feedback on our 10-year vision and<br />
principles for safe speeds across Christchurch and Banks<br />
Peninsula, as well as our first three years of implementation.<br />
To read the plan and give feedback by<br />
25 October, visit<br />

Tyro makes waves<br />
• From page 11<br />
At the Classic, Tyro finished<br />
third in his heat, scoring 7.10<br />
from his third and fifth waves.<br />
Although he was knocked out<br />
in the elimination round, Tyro<br />
scored an improved 10.00 while<br />
surfing against American Tony<br />
Silvagni to finish 17th.<br />
Tyro was the only New<br />
Zealander to compete at the<br />
event.<br />
His goal for next year is<br />
to qualify on the permanent<br />
roster of the World Surf League<br />
Longboard tour.<br />
Tyro would like to thank<br />
everyone who supported him,<br />
and particularly the Canterbury<br />
Sports Foundation which funded<br />
his flights and accommodation in<br />
Melbourne.<br />
He applied to access the<br />
scholarship fund before the event,<br />
with the goal of qualifying for the<br />
World Surf League.<br />
Tyro is now preparing to head<br />
to the New Zealand national<br />
scholastic surfing championships<br />
in Gisborne next week.<br />
He will be one of 12<br />
Cantabrians at the event where<br />
they will compete for individual<br />
and team honours.<br />

Literary event kicks<br />
off digital book club<br />
LITERARY EXPERT Morrin<br />
Rout will be chairing an evening<br />
with best-selling author Charity<br />
Norman, ahead of the launch of<br />
Together We Read for <strong>2023</strong>.<br />
Rout has spent more than 25<br />
years organising literary events<br />
and festivals, and presenting<br />
book programmes on radio.<br />
She is the former director of the<br />
Hagley Writers Institute and a<br />
member of the WORD festival<br />
trust board.<br />
Together We Read is New<br />
Zealand’s biggest annual online<br />
book club, connecting readers<br />
through public libraries with a<br />
featured title for two weeks each<br />
year.<br />
As part of the programme,<br />
booklovers can participate in<br />
online discussions and get involved<br />
in events with the author.<br />
The digital book club is<br />
now in its second year in New<br />
Zealand, and the <strong>2023</strong> selection<br />
is author Charity Norman’s<br />
Remember Me.<br />
“I’m thrilled to be invited to<br />
visit Tūranga to spend an evening<br />
with readers, to share stories<br />
and chat with Morrin Rout,”<br />
said Norman.<br />
“Together We Read is a terrific<br />
program – what an honour to be<br />
a part of it.”<br />
Norman’s best-selling novel<br />
is a thriller, following the tale of<br />
a close-knit community, ripped<br />
apart by revelations that shine<br />
the light on a young woman’s<br />
disappearance 25 years earlier.<br />
City council head of libraries<br />
and information Carolyn Robertson<br />
said it was fantastic to be<br />
able to facilitate this part of the<br />
digital book club.<br />
“We’re very excited to be able<br />
to host this presentation in our<br />
space,” she said.<br />
“Bring your friends and<br />
join us for a lively evening of<br />
conversation and storytelling.”<br />

cleaning started.<br />
Here at Summerset on Cavendish in Casebrook, we’re busy getting the village ready too.<br />

Game-changing cauliflower dishes<br />
Cauliflower latkes<br />
Makes 12<br />
Latkes<br />
2 potatoes, waxy variety (nadine),<br />
scrubbed<br />
½ medium onion<br />
1 medium-sized cauliflower, cut<br />
into florets<br />
½ tsp turmeric<br />
¼ tsp ground coriander<br />
1 egg<br />
2 spring onions, sliced finely<br />
salt and pepper<br />
Coriander yogurt<br />
150g unsweetened yogurt<br />
1 bunch coriander, roughly<br />
chopped<br />
8 mint leaves, finely chopped<br />
½ lemon, juice<br />
1 garlic clove, crushed<br />
pinch salt and pepper<br />
Method<br />
• Make the yogurt sauce by<br />
combining all the ingredients and<br />
mixing well. Leave in the fridge<br />
until required.<br />
• Chop the cauliflower florets, or<br />
use a food processor, into a fine<br />
crumb-like texture. Put in a large<br />
bowl.<br />
• Grate the potatoes and onions.<br />
Squeeze in a clean cloth to remove<br />
as much liquid as possible. Add to<br />
the cauliflower.<br />
• Add the turmeric, ground<br />
coriander, salt, pepper, egg and<br />
spring onion and mix well to<br />
combine.<br />
• Generously cover the bottom of a<br />
large heavy-based fry pan with oil<br />
and heat. When hot, add generous<br />
spoonfuls of mixture. When<br />
golden (about three minutes),<br />
carefully turn over and cook<br />
the other side for a further two<br />
minutes or until golden.<br />
• Remove and drain on kitchen<br />
paper. Serve warm with the<br />
coriander yogurt.<br />
Cauliflower pizza<br />
Serves 2-4<br />
Base<br />
500g cauliflower (about 1<br />
medium)<br />
200g broccoli<br />
2 eggs<br />
50g parmesan cheese, grated<br />
75g ground almonds<br />
salt and pepper<br />
½ tsp dried oregano<br />
Topping<br />
3 Tbsp tomato pizza sauce<br />
2 Tbsp oil<br />
200g broccoli florets, blanched<br />
briefly<br />
1 small red onion, sliced thinly<br />
2 cloves garlic, sliced thinly<br />
200g spinach leaves<br />
100g mozzarella<br />
20g parmesan cheese, shaved or<br />
grated finely<br />
pinch chilli flakes<br />
extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling)<br />
Method<br />
• Preheat oven to 200degC.<br />
• Remove the stalk from the<br />
cauliflower and broccoli and<br />
discard, and cut into chunks.<br />
Keep half of the broccoli for the<br />
topping. Blitz the cauliflower and<br />
broccoli in stages so it resembles<br />
rice. Transfer to a bowl, cover with<br />
cling film and microwave on high<br />
for 5-6 minutes until softened.<br />
Drain and tip on to a clean cloth<br />
and squeeze tightly to remove any<br />
excess moisture. Tip into a bowl<br />
and add the ground almonds,<br />
oregano, seasoning and eggs. Mix<br />
well to form a dough.<br />
• Line a baking tray with<br />
greaseproof paper and grease<br />
lightly with oil.<br />
• Mould the cauliflower mixture<br />
so it forms a large round or 2 small<br />
rounds if desired. Bake for 15-20<br />
minutes or until golden.<br />
• While the base is cooking,<br />
prepare the topping.<br />
• Heat a frying pan to medium and<br />
add 2 tablespoon of oil. Add the<br />
sliced onion and garlic and cook<br />
until the onion has softened (3-5<br />
minutes). Add the broccoli and<br />
cook for a further 3 minutes. Add<br />
the spinach and chilli. Season well<br />
with salt and pepper and remove<br />

spread with tomato sauce and<br />
sprinkle over the greens. Finish<br />
with cheese and bake for 15<br />
minutes or until the cheese has<br />
melted and the pizza looks golden<br />
and delicious.<br />
• Finish with a little more freshly<br />
shaved parmesan and a drizzle of<br />
extra virgin olive oil.<br />

Christchurch Heritage Week.<br />
This year’s theme is “Our<br />

wonderful Plains FM to create a<br />
special radio show and podcast<br />

create a piece of history that<br />
will tell our stories tomorrow.<br />
We are also working with the<br />
Canterbury Museum to bring<br />
you a special look back at this<br />
much loved Museum’s long<br />
history. Author John Wilson<br />
will then join us for a talk on<br />
the topic of his recent book:<br />
Canterbury University 150<br />
years.<br />
The CWEA has its home<br />
at 59 Gloucester Street,<br />

1915. Today they are visited<br />
by over a thousand individuals<br />

range of courses, talks and<br />
workshops. Themes of social<br />
and environmental justice and<br />
encouraging citizens to think<br />
deeply about the issues of the<br />
day feature each term.<br />

Spring into learning at Risingholme<br />
The change in season comes with a<br />
chance to reflect, reset, and perhaps try<br />
something new!<br />
Whether you’ve been thinking about<br />
picking up a craft, a new hobby, or are<br />
keen to upskill with an eye towards<br />
taking the next step in your career,<br />
Risingholme Learning offers a range<br />
of workshops and short courses to suit<br />
your needs and goals. Our courses cater<br />
to a range of interests and give you the<br />
chance to try something new in a relaxed<br />
environment guided by our experienced<br />
subject tutors.<br />
Delivered across four locations in<br />
Christchurch and developed with a<br />
range of abilities in mind, our courses<br />
are open to anyone aged 16 and over<br />
who is not currently at school, regardless<br />
of educational background.<br />
Enrolments are now open for Term 4<br />
and we have several new workshops and<br />
courses available to sign up to, including<br />
a four-week course based at Hornby<br />
High School centred around digital<br />
storytelling. Everyone has a story to tell,<br />
and in an increasingly digital world there<br />
are many tools available to help bring<br />
these stories to life. Come learn how to<br />
unpack the process of storytelling from<br />

friends and family. It’s open to anyone<br />
new to felting and keen to learn as well<br />
as more experienced felters wanting to<br />
develop their repertoire.<br />
For those interested in life drawing<br />
with a slight twist, we run a life drawing<br />
in costume course led by a tutor whose<br />
background in theatre and textile<br />
design makes her the perfect guide<br />
for learning to sketch both form and<br />
fabric in a friendly and supportive<br />
environment. Grow your skills, nurture<br />
your mind, and enrol in one of over 300<br />

Subaru’s smallest SUV still class-leading<br />
SUBARU’S smallest SUV, the<br />
XV, has been rebranded as the<br />
Crosstrek and offers superior<br />
refinement, safety and standard<br />
equipment to its predecessor. It<br />
retains its class-leading off-road<br />
abilities, built around Subaru’s<br />
legendary symmetrical AWD<br />
system.<br />
The Crosstrek may be all new<br />
in many departments, but its ageing<br />
normally aspirated 2.0-litre<br />
Boxer engine isn’t one of them. It<br />
isn’t the most vibrant of performers<br />
and is comfortably upstaged<br />
by a bevy of newer engines<br />
offered by its rivals. Visually the<br />
Crosstrek looks the modern SUV<br />
part, with the mandatory rugged<br />
cladding and roof rails as well as<br />
a palate of bold colours for those<br />
serious about standing out from<br />
the motoring crowd.<br />
The Crosstrek has taken a<br />
sizeable leap in price over its predecessor<br />
which had a sub $40k<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
model. Not with this newbie<br />
though. It starts at an ambitious<br />
$46,990 for the e-Boxer Hybrid,<br />
while the higher spec petrol Premium<br />
supplied for this road test<br />
retails for $48,990. If that isn’t<br />
enough to make some would-be<br />
buyers grimace, the $51,990 ask<br />
on the Hybrid Premium most<br />
likely will.<br />
Performance from the 115kW<br />
direct injection 2.0-litre petrol<br />
motor won’t set the pulse racing,<br />
but does a passable job. Whether<br />
that’s enough given its premium<br />
pricing only time will tell. The<br />
latest version of this engine has<br />
undergone yet another round<br />
of improvements over its 15+<br />
years. The changes have created a<br />
noticeably quieter and smoother<br />
power plant, but in-gear and<br />
standing start acceleration<br />
remains leisurely. Once up and<br />
rolling at open road speeds it’s a<br />
capable enough cruiser, and rolls<br />
back the kilometres effortlessly<br />
enough on long trips. I feel this<br />
engine is a bit of a treading water<br />
effort. One of the best things<br />
about Crosstrek petrol-only<br />
models is an enhanced and sweet<br />
gear-shifting version of Subaru’s<br />
Lineartronic Transmission.<br />
A wide, flat load floor with<br />
a maximum opening width of<br />
1042mm enables easier cargo.<br />
Another plus is the fold down<br />
rear seat that splits 60/40, providing<br />
a wider range of seating and<br />
load carrying configurations.<br />
Size-wise this model is marginally<br />
larger than before, but far<br />
from best in class with limited<br />
rear seat head and legroom, for<br />
those of above average height.<br />
Many potential buyers will<br />
be tempted to throw their new<br />
car cash behind the Crosstrek<br />
when they check out the updated<br />
technology. Leading the way is a<br />
larger 11.6-inch portrait infotainment<br />
touchscreen with improved<br />
graphics, wireless smartphone<br />
integration, and voice command<br />
functionality. In a first for Subaru,<br />
a 360-degree panoramic view<br />
monitor has also been added to<br />
improve camera and monitor<br />
performance. Two additional<br />
USB ports are provided for rear<br />
seat passengers and can be found<br />
at the back of the centre console.<br />
Heading up a strong list of<br />
safety features is the latest take<br />
on Subaru’s EyeSight technology,<br />
now standard on all Crosstreks.<br />
This improved system uses highresolution<br />
stereo cameras, as<br />
well as a wide-angle monocular<br />
camera, recognizing potential<br />
dangers and obstacles ahead and<br />
warns the driver to act, or even<br />
automatically intervene.<br />
Front and rear springs and<br />
dampers have been retuned<br />
for improved ride comfort and<br />
driving stability under hard<br />
cornering. A proven formula<br />
for decades, Subaru’s legendary<br />
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive<br />
resolutely plants the vehicle on<br />
the road providing a safer, more<br />
engaging, and balanced driving<br />
experience across a greater variety<br />
of surfaces.<br />
The Crosstrek retains its classleading<br />
ground clearance, ensuring<br />
sufficient daylight between<br />
the vehicle’s under belly and<br />
ground below to safely negotiate<br />
deep ruts and other confronting<br />
surfaces. Despite such a generous<br />
measure of ground clearance,<br />
body roll is kept neatly in check<br />
during brisk cornering. The<br />
steering is well weighted and<br />
provides plenty of road feel. Most<br />
importantly though, it convincingly<br />
delivers a sense that as the<br />
driver you are in command, and<br />
the steering is your obedient<br />
servant, devoted to give you the<br />
best driving experience it can.<br />

MATT DOOCEY<br />
FOR WAIMAKARIRI<br />
I’m proud of National’s commitment to build the Belfast<br />
to Pegasus motorway including the Woodend Bypass<br />
A privilege to serve<br />
the community<br />
Residents in Waimakariri electorate will be<br />
aware of my work over the years highlighting the<br />
desperate need for the Woodend Bypass.<br />
From my petition to Parliament when the Labour<br />
government cancelled this important project, to<br />
my public rally in 2020, I have not stopped fighting<br />
for our cancelled Belfast to Pegasus motorway<br />
including the Woodend Bypass.<br />
National has announced its Transport for the<br />
Future plan, which will deliver new Roads of<br />
National Significance, better public transport and<br />
will rebuild regions and improve resilience. I am<br />
proud to be part of the National Party that will<br />
build the Belfast to Pegasus Motorway, including<br />
the Woodend Bypass, with construction starting<br />
in the first term of government.<br />
As your local MP I have fought<br />
hard for our communities,<br />
securing important wins - from<br />
a commitment to after-hours<br />
healthcare to better infrastructure,<br />
including the third-laning of SH1 at<br />
the Waimakariri Bridge.<br />
Honouring our veterans.<br />
Advocating for the issues important to<br />
you in Parliament<br />

MATT DOOCEY<br />
FOR WAIMAKARIRI<br />
A win for after-hours health care<br />
Thank you to the thousands who signed my petition with<br />
local residents Sandi and David McLean calling for Te<br />
Whatu Ora Health NZ to fast-track after-hours health care<br />
services in Waimakariri.<br />
It was important to hear Health NZ apologise for their lack<br />
of communication over the delays in after-hours services<br />
at my public meeting at the end of April, and good news<br />
that the voices of Waimakariri residents were heard with<br />
the announcement by Health NZ that local GPs will be<br />
putting together a proposal to deliver after-hours services<br />
in the interim. I will be keeping in contact with Health NZ<br />
over the proposal progress and if I don’t see any action I<br />
will be prepared to go to the Health Minister.<br />
Community action spurs CCTV<br />
After a resident of Sovereign Palms approached me<br />
following the theft of her motorhome, I hosted a public<br />
meeting to gauge interest in a community-led CCTV<br />
project. I was only too happy to get involved and bring<br />
the relevant stakeholders together, including the council,<br />
police, community patrol, neighbourhood support and<br />
120+ residents, who showed overwhelming support for the<br />
backing of my call to roll out community-led CCTV in the<br />
area.<br />
It was heartening to see residents taking back control of<br />
their neighbourhood through the number of people that<br />
came to my meeting, and since then I have been contacted<br />
by residents of other subdivisions and developments keen<br />
to replicate it in their neighbourhoods.<br />
Advocating for patient rights<br />
I recently had the privilege of meeting Theresa Zame,<br />
and receiving her petition at Parliament calling for an<br />
amendment to the Therapeutics Products Bill to allow her<br />
to import life-saving prescription drugs.<br />
Theresa is battling stage 4 lung cancer but has been<br />
making progress thanks to medication she imports from<br />
Bangladesh. Under Labour’s Bill she, and many others,<br />
would have been stopped importing their life-saving<br />
prescription medication.<br />
Thanks to people like Theresa, the thousands of New<br />
Zealanders who submitted on the bill and pressure from<br />
National, changes have been made.<br />
