St Margaret’s top Canty<br />
school at SI champs<br />
Riccarton<br />
streets get<br />
safety<br />
upgrades<br />
• By Sam Coughlan<br />
ST MARGARET’S College<br />
has finished the South Island<br />
secondary school rowing<br />
championships as the top<br />
Canterbury school and third<br />
best overall, behind Wakatipu<br />
High School and Timaru Boys’<br />
High.<br />
The crews won the U17 coxed<br />
four, U18 coxless pair, U15<br />
coxed eight and U18 novice<br />
coxed four, at Lake Ruataniwha<br />
in Twizel. The gold medals<br />
were accompanied by four<br />
silvers.<br />
The result is an improvement<br />
on last year’s two golds, three<br />
silvers and five bronzes, and<br />
saw St Margaret’s finish as<br />
the top girls’ school in the<br />
competition as well.<br />
Scarlett Hansen and Poppy<br />
Blakely were a part of two<br />
winning teams – they won the<br />
U15 coxed eight as well as the<br />
U18 novice four, competing up<br />
three age groups.<br />
Coxswain Bella Harris<br />
directed wins for the U15<br />
coxed eight and U17 coxed<br />
four.<br />
St Andrew’s also performed<br />
strongly at the event.<br />
They won four golds as well –<br />
in the boys’ U16 coxed four and<br />
eight, the girls’ U16 coxed eight<br />
and boys’ U18 coxed four.<br />

A LONG-AWAITED facelift is<br />
coming for a street in Riccarton<br />
as part of a wider package of<br />
upgrade work in the area.<br />
The Bradshaw Tce renewal<br />
starts next week, with construction<br />
running till late May.<br />
“This work has been on the<br />
cards since 2010 and was delayed<br />
after the earthquake,” said city<br />
council transport planning and<br />
delivery manager Jacob Bradbury.<br />
“The community has been patient<br />
enough and has been calling<br />
out for this project, so we’re pleased<br />
to finally be able to deliver it as part<br />
of our wider Riccarton work.”<br />
Upgrades will include a full<br />
street renewal, including a safer<br />
turnaround area at the end of the<br />
cul-de-sac, kerb and channel, new<br />
street trees, and a new garden bed.<br />
The work is part of the city<br />
council’s Christchurch Regeneration<br />
Acceleration Facility package<br />
throughout residential Riccarton.<br />
Other projects will include a<br />
street renewal of the southern end<br />
of Brockworth Pl and various traffic<br />
calming projects and pedestrian<br />
safety upgrades throughout<br />
a number of residential streets.<br />
A new signalised crossing has<br />
been approved for Waimairi Rd<br />
at the Bush Inn Centre and the<br />
city council is investigating options<br />
for a pedestrian crossing on<br />
Deans Ave.<br />
Tactile pavers have also been<br />
installed at all Riccarton Rd<br />
intersections between Matipo and<br />
Balgay Sts and several other sites<br />
in high pedestrian areas.<br />
Thanks for your patience<br />
While work is underway on the construction of a new roundabout<br />
on Candys Road, SH75 and the entrance to RIVERSTONE.<br />
The intention of the new roundabout is to greatly<br />
improve the safety of vehicles, pedestrians<br />
and cyclists .<br />

Donating time to assist their community<br />
Right across the city,<br />
some amazing women<br />
help their community<br />
every day. To mark<br />
International Women’s<br />
Day tomorrow, reporter<br />
Sasha Watson spoke<br />
to advocators and<br />
empowerers Sharon<br />
Layton and Phillipa<br />
Jacobs-Lory<br />
“EVERYONE HAS one hour per<br />
week to spend with a child.”<br />
That’s the motto of Big Brothers<br />
Big Sisters (BBBS) volunteer<br />
Sharon Layton, who has spent<br />
the last nine years giving support<br />
to children and teens in need.<br />
“In 2008 to 2009, almost every<br />
charity was; write a cheque and<br />
give us money. Well, I didn’t<br />
have money. But I had time.”<br />
So, she joined BBBS, where<br />
children and teenagers are<br />
paired up with an adult to spend<br />
an hour together, after school or<br />
on the weekend, for a minimum<br />
of one year.<br />
“The kids get put forward by<br />
a school or a church or similar<br />
because something has happened<br />
in their home life and they’re<br />
falling through the gaps.<br />
“We don’t spend money on<br />
the kids and we don’t interfere.<br />
Anything said doesn’t go back<br />
to their parents, it’s just to be a<br />
stable extra person to trust, talk<br />

STRENGTH: Sharon Layton, left, has spent the last nine years giving an hour each week to<br />
support to children and teens in need. Zonta’s New Zealand District 16 Governor, Phillipa<br />
Jacobs-Lory, has had a passion for working with women for more than 20 years.<br />

Layton is the owner and operator<br />
of property management firm<br />
Quinovic Merivale.<br />
“Time is something people<br />
don’t consider but now with how<br />
flexible work can be and it not<br />
being all about working nine to<br />
five, charity work can suit most<br />
people.<br />
“It gives me joy and absolute<br />
fulfilment knowing these kids,<br />

who could’ve gone down a<br />
wrong path, didn’t. I can’t see<br />
myself stopping anytime soon.”<br />
Layton’s longest pairing, which<br />
ended last year, was for seven<br />
years and she said her new<br />
pairing of a few months is going<br />
well.<br />
“It’s a great thing if a kid gets<br />
more out of their life. Some<br />
volunteers go to graduations or<br />
21st parties and some kids say<br />
we, BBBS, have saved their lives,”<br />
said Layton.<br />
There have been 2560 matches<br />
of children, teens and adults<br />
within BBBS’ Christchurch<br />
sector across 20 years, with 175<br />
matches in the past year, and 140<br />
current open matches.<br />

Older adults welcomed at<br />
local fitness centre<br />
As we all know, the ability to move<br />
around freely is essential for everyday<br />
life. However, as we age, our mobility<br />
and flexibility can decrease, making it<br />
more difficult to perform our usual daily<br />
activities that require us<br />
to stand, walk, sit, and<br />

Health professionals tell<br />
us the best way to stay<br />
healthy and continue to<br />
enjoy life as we get older<br />
is to keep being physically<br />
active, which will delay<br />
the reduction in mobility<br />
or even reverse some of<br />
the losses as we age. In<br />
other words, “move it or<br />
lose it”.<br />
Regular exercise can also<br />
increase life expectancy by strengthening<br />
heart and lungs, improving cardiovascular<br />
fitness and helping keep conditions that<br />
affect these vital organs at bay.<br />
According to the World Health<br />
Organisation, a sedentary lifestyle is one<br />
of the 10 leading causes of death and<br />
disability. They advise that even gentle,<br />
regular exercise, such as using a treadmill<br />
or cross trainer, can help increase our<br />
lifespan by three to five<br />
years.<br />
Heather Peterson, who<br />
owns and runs Culture<br />
Fitness Wigram, says her<br />
centre provides classes<br />
and activities that benefit<br />
adults of all ages, and<br />
levels of health and<br />
fitness, and twice a week<br />
the focus is on older<br />
adults.<br />
“On Tuesdays and<br />
Thursdays from 10am to<br />
10.45am we offer an older<br />
adult fitness class run by our fabulous<br />
trainer, Leanne. The classes are very<br />
well received, and we often get feedback<br />
on how much attendees appreciate the<br />
classes and the opportunity to meet<br />
likeminded people,” Heather says.<br />
She describes the environment as<br />
welcoming, offering a sense of community<br />
and belonging.<br />
“The mission is to support people’s<br />
health journey through education,<br />
encouragement, and hand-holding if<br />
necessary.<br />
“As we grow older our bodies change.<br />
Injuries take longer to heal. Our mental<br />
health can be compromised through<br />
loneliness and feelings of isolation. And<br />
research published by the Journal of<br />
Alzheimer’s Disease shows that exercising<br />
regularly will also help reduce the chances<br />
of suffering from dementia in later life,”<br />
Heather says.<br />
“That is why Culture Fitness Wigram<br />
is here. To be the healthy heart of the<br />
individual and the community. I get<br />
such joy from seeing people of the<br />
older demographic out moving, finding<br />
purpose, and smiling and enjoying their<br />
days.”<br />

School year off to<br />
a positive start<br />
Tēnā koutou katoa, warm greetings<br />
to you all<br />
Hornby High School has<br />
commenced <strong>2024</strong> on<br />
a highly positive note,<br />
witnessing a substantial<br />
increase in student<br />
enrolment. In 2023, our<br />
student body began<br />
with 804 individuals,<br />
and presently, the figure<br />
stands at 950. This<br />
growth necessitated the<br />
recruitment of additional<br />
teaching staff and teacher<br />
aides. Fortunately, we<br />
have successfully filled all<br />
positions, enabling us to effectively<br />
manage our timetable and cover all<br />
requisite subject areas.<br />
Furthermore, our new Deaning<br />
system is now operational,<br />
comprising nine Deans spanning<br />
across various year levels. This<br />
framework enhances our ability<br />
to support students in matters<br />
concerning attendance<br />
and academic<br />
performance.<br />
In conjunction with<br />
the promising start to<br />
the academic year, we<br />
have implemented a<br />
comprehensive ban on the<br />
use of cell phones within<br />
the school premises.<br />
Already, we are witnessing<br />
the beneficial effects of<br />
this initiative. Students<br />
are actively engaging in<br />
reading, outdoor sports,<br />
social interactions, and<br />
demonstrating enhanced focus<br />
on their academic pursuits. This<br />
development proves advantageous<br />
for all involved, marking a<br />
commendable achievement for the<br />
school community.<br />

Iain Murray<br />
Principal<br />
Many enjoy Inspire Event<br />
Range of topics on offer during week<br />
My focus was mainly on<br />
microbiology, and I also had the<br />
chance to attend taster sessions for<br />
physiotherapy, anatomy, and Va'a<br />
o Tautai (Centre for Pacific Health)<br />
during the week.<br />
I want to share with you my amazing<br />
experience at Hands-on Otago.<br />
In microbiology, I learned about<br />
various microbes that exist in our<br />
bodies and the environment. We<br />
took samples and studied how to<br />
identify and classify. We analysed<br />
human blood samples to understand<br />
how our body fights against bacteria.<br />
By performing a blood smear and<br />
examining the blood film under the<br />
microscope, we were able to identify<br />
different types of leukocytes (white<br />
blood cells).<br />
As part of a case study, we looked<br />
into food-borne illnesses found in<br />
cupcakes. Through the results, we<br />
discovered that cupcakes B and C<br />
contained Staphylococcus aureus,<br />
while cupcakes A and D contained E.<br />
coli. Later, we investigated the most<br />
effective antibiotics for each cupcake<br />
bacteria. We placed discs of different<br />
antibiotics such as amoxicillin,<br />
ciprofloxacin, or penicillin on<br />
a bacterial "culture lawn". By<br />
measuring zones of inhibition,<br />
we interpreted the antibiotic<br />
susceptibility of the bacteria, finding<br />

A huge thank you to staff, Year 13<br />
prefects and event organisers who<br />
participated in our Inspire Event in<br />
February.<br />
The event was organised with the<br />
Christchurch City Council and gave<br />
our Hornby community the chance to<br />
participate in a number of fun activities<br />
including a concert with various amazing<br />
acts, dancing from our cultural groups<br />
and stalls to purchase food and goods.<br />
Thank you to all whānau and students<br />

Hornby High is starting<br />
its very own Recycle<br />
a Device (RAD) club in<br />
partnership with the RAD<br />
charity.<br />
The RAD club receives<br />
donated unwanted<br />
laptops and the club<br />
members spend their<br />
time remodelling and<br />
servicing these devices.<br />
Once the devices have<br />
been refurbished, they<br />
are donated back to<br />
the school and other<br />
community organisations<br />
that need them.<br />
Last week we had 20<br />
students from a range<br />
of year levels spend the devices.<br />
entire day training with<br />
RAD technicians, learning how to<br />
refurbish and service laptops.<br />
Students spent the day<br />
understanding how computers<br />
work, identifying different parts, and<br />
diagnosing issues. Then the handson<br />
action took place, replacing parts<br />
and bringing them back to life. They<br />

New pupils, staff welcomed<br />
It was such a<br />
pleasure to warmly<br />
welcome our new<br />
students and staff<br />
to Hornby High<br />
School. After our<br />
Mihi Whakatau<br />
we shared some<br />
delicious kai<br />
together. It was a<br />
wonderful day full<br />
of excitement and<br />
new beginnings.<br />
at the human placenta.<br />
Finally, on the third day, I visited<br />
the Va'a o Tautai (Centre for<br />
Pacific Health) to learn about the<br />
opportunities available to Pacific<br />
students.<br />
We also had to create and sell a<br />
programme for Pacific students in<br />
Otago. Our group came up with a<br />
programme allowing Pacific students<br />
to move back to their country and<br />
support their area of education by<br />
volunteering and teaching.<br />
During my time on campus, I<br />
explored colleges (dorms) available<br />
to first-year students. We had<br />
various tours, including to the dental<br />
school and the anatomy museum.<br />
Overall, we had an enjoyable and<br />
informative experience exploring<br />
the campus and its offerings. I have<br />
learnt about life as a student at<br />
Otago University, especially in terms<br />
of learning and living, thanks to this<br />
programme.<br />
I owe this opportunity to the<br />
funding support provided by<br />
Hornby High School. I am grateful<br />
to our school for allowing me to<br />
have this experience and enhance<br />
my knowledge. I believe that this<br />
programme has helped me grow<br />
and has also helped improve the<br />
representation of Hornby High<br />
School.<br />
RAD club revamps devices<br />
Work in progress: RAD club members work on<br />
worked industriously throughout the<br />
day, not wanting to stop for breaks<br />
or kai.<br />
What an amazing opportunity for<br />
our students to learn remodelling<br />
skills and being able to contribute<br />
towards bringing these much needed<br />
resources back to the community.<br />
Watch this space for developments.<br />
Hornby High School is always on the lookout<br />
for families to become homestay caregivers for our<br />
international students!<br />
Families are reimbursed $325.00 per week. Hosting<br />
a student is a wonderful way to connect you<br />
and your family with another culture.<br />
If you are interested in becoming a homestay<br />
caregiver, email<br />

MAZDA ISN’T one of the heavy<br />
hitters in our ute arena, but has<br />
undeniable longevity, competing<br />
with varying degree of success in<br />
this market since the mid 1960s.<br />
Up until 2020, the BT50 was<br />
the not-so-well-known twin<br />
of the hugely successful Ford<br />
Ranger, in a model share deal<br />
between Mazda and Ford. For<br />
the current Ranger, Ford opted<br />
out of this arrangement and<br />
instead partnered with European<br />
automotive heavy hitter<br />
Volkswagen, with the current<br />
Ranger the donor vehicle for the<br />
latest Volkswagen Amarok.<br />
Mazda was hardly flush<br />
with offers from other vehicle<br />
manufacturers keen to join forces<br />
with them on a new ute. After a<br />
www.drivesouth.co.nz<br />
End of an era for Mazda’s long-serving ute<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
bit of speed-dating, they tied the<br />
collaboration knot with Isuzu<br />
in a union of two of the smallest<br />
manufacturers of Japanese<br />
utes. Essentially the BT50 is<br />
the current D-Max with some<br />
cosmetic changes.<br />
It seems Mazda’s days in<br />
our ute market are numbered,<br />
having clocked up around 58<br />
years. The latest shipment of<br />
BT50s is reportedly the last.<br />
Mazda NZ deleting the BT50<br />
from their catalogue is due to a<br />
variety of factors including the<br />
huge rise in the popularity of<br />
SUVs, and increasingly tougher<br />
engine emission standards.<br />
The BT50 will still be sold in<br />
Australia.<br />
You can have your BT50 in<br />
Ratings out of 10: Performance 7 Handling 7; Build Quality<br />
7; Comfort 6; Passenger and Load Space 7; Styling 7; Value<br />
for money 6; Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating.<br />
Overall points out of 10: 7<br />
Incorporating<br />
best motorbuys<br />
any configuration as long as it’s<br />
a double cab, but you do have<br />
the choice of three specification<br />
levels, starting with the GSX. For<br />
this road test we check out this<br />
model in $57,290 4WD form.<br />
In the engine bay is a familiar<br />
face and one tough customer in<br />
Isuzu’s long serving and durable<br />
turbocharged 3.0L four-cylinder<br />
diesel.<br />
These days it makes a handy,<br />
but hardly class-leading, 140kw<br />
of power. The 450Nm of torque<br />
on tap is below the class average<br />
500Nm most buyers are looking<br />
for, but on the credit side of<br />
the ledger it is as smooth and<br />
refined as most of its rivals. It<br />
showed plenty of energy and<br />
endeavour to comfortably handle<br />
the toughest on and off road<br />
assignments.<br />
If you want a ute that’s relaxing<br />
to drive over long distances, and<br />
who doesn’t, few do it better than<br />
this one. A lot the kudos for this<br />
is down to the BT50’s well-sorted<br />
six-speed automatic that puts in a<br />
consistently good gear-changing<br />
shift, no matter the task.<br />
A well-proportioned cab<br />
provides plenty of leg and<br />
headroom, and the seats are<br />
supportive and comfy, with no<br />
complaints from the passengers I<br />
had on board.<br />
For an entry-level model the<br />
GSX is fairly well suited up.<br />
A touch screen infotainment<br />
system supports both Apple<br />
CarPlay and Android Auto,<br />
while a multi-information<br />
display provides key driving<br />
information.<br />
The balance between ride<br />
comfort and road holding is as<br />
good as you will find among the<br />
current crop of utes, apart from<br />
the class leading Ford Ranger.<br />
This has been achieved<br />
without compromising durability<br />
and strength, with the GSX<br />
offering plenty of both, with a<br />
heavier duty rear suspension<br />
arrangement in recognition of it<br />
being more of a work orientated<br />
ute.<br />
In GSX trim the firmer rear<br />
spring make the low speed ride<br />
over uneven surfaces fidgety.<br />
However, the test ute cornered<br />
confidently with the enjoyment<br />
heightened by well-weighted and<br />
communicative steering.<br />
