First steps taken towards 

bridge replacement plan 

• By Geoff Sloan 

A NEW replacement for New 

Brighton’s “lifeline” Pages Rd 

bridge will be built slightly north 

of the existing one, allowing the 

current bridge to remain open 

while the replacement is being 

constructed. 

The project marked a major 

milestone last week when a 

hearings panel heard public 

submissions on the $65 million 

project with more than 250 

individuals and organisations 

giving their views on the project 

and draft design. 

THe city council is wanting to 

replace the old earthquakedamaged 

bridge with a new one, 

better able to handle evacuations 

in the event of a natural disaster. 

It is expected to take a few 

months for the submissions to be 

collated, before the final project is 

presented to city councillors for 

a vote. 

Coastal Ward city councillor 

Celeste Donovan said the Pages 

Rd bridge was, in her view, the 

number one project for the east. 

“It provides the lifeline link 

to the area. So we know if there 

was a tsunami or another event, 

it provides the key linkage for 

the eastern suburbs to get out, so 

it is really vital we get that work 

completed as soon as possible”. 

A report by council staff said 

if nothing was done, the bridge 

would continue to deteriorate,

standards with the council hearing submissions on the plans and design for a replacement.

risking the safety of thousands 

of residents. Donovan says 

council and most submitters 

were united in their calls for a 

new bridge. 

The “Gateway to New 

Brighton” project would see 

the bridge replaced, along with 

changes to surrounding streets 

and intersections. 

The aim is to significantly 

improve traffic flow in, and 

out of the area, with one lane 

for eastbound traffic into New 

Brighton, and two lanes for 

vehicles heading out of the 

seaside suburb.

Stench persists as insurance 

wait delays repair work 

• By Anna Sargeant 

THERE APPEARS to be no 

end in sight for residents forced 

to put up with the foul stench 

being emitted from Bromley’s 

fire-damaged wastewater 

treatment plant. 

The city council is waiting for 

an insurance payout before it 

can repair the plant. 

Two filters at the plant were 

destroyed during a fire in 

November 2021, releasing a 

pungent and rotten stench 

across the city. 

Residents 

have 

complained 

about nausea, 

headaches, 

worsening 

asthma, and 

deteriorating 

Phil Mauger mental health 

due to the smell. 

A temporary system was put 

in place, but the vile odour still 

remains. 

At a public meeting, Mayor 

Phil Mauger told residents 

delays to the insurance payout 

was holding up progress. 

“One of the things we’re 

doing – which is causing us a 

bit of grief – is we’re waiting 

for our insurance payout and 

BURNT: The Bromley wastewater treatment plant in 2017 after being damaged by fire. 

that might be one month, two 

months, three months, so 

that’s getting worked on at the 

moment.” 

Bromley resident Vickie 

Walker said after two-and-ahalf 

years people had run out of 

patience. 

“As we’ve been told for quite 

a while, they’re still waiting for 

the settlement of the insurance, 

so they can go ahead with what 

they plan, but I’d like to see it 

happening now so that we know 

that it’s not going to be a problem 

again.” 

City councillor Sam 

MacDonald said the council was 

working “around the clock” to 

sort settlement. 

“As soon as we can do that we 

will go public with it, so everyone 

in the community has confidence 

that we can deliver what is 

needed for that community and 

for the wider Christchurch.” 

Last year, an independent 

review found the city council’s 

recovery from the 2021 fire was 

poor and slow. – RNZ 

Community 

pantry gets 

helping hand 

THE TRAVIS Country 

community will have a newly 

constructed share pantry from 

this weekend. 

Nick Hamilton, 

who conjured 

up the project 

with his wife 

Megan, said he 

and builder Lucas 

Firth will start 

construction on 

Saturday. 

It comes after 

a donation of 

Nick 

Hamilton 

materials from Bunnings to get 

the pantry up and 

running. 

Hamilton said it was a big help, 

considering the retail cost of the 

materials was $860. 

“It’s fantastic. They have 

donated a big garden shed, 

shelving, bins for produce, and a 

cupboard for the book exchange 

towards this project. 

“It’s very gratifying for someone 

like Bunnings to help out with 

the equipment. It means we don’t 

have to run around fundraising. 

“It helps the community 

initiative get off the ground.” 

Once the pantry is set up, 

Hamilton said he will inform the 

community via Facebook.

pantry, contact Nick

New life for neglected garden 

• By Emiily O’Hagan 

COMMUNITY gardeners in 

New Brighton have been given 

the challenge of restoring an 

eight-year-old sensory garden. 

The space was originally 

designed by Smile Dial NZ to 

enable children and people with 

disabilities to be able to feel, 

smell, see, taste and hear the 

garden. 

New Brighton community 

gardening 

manager 

Catherine 

O’Neill said 

over the years 

the facility has 

become a little 

neglected. 

“Over time 

it’s got a little bit 

overgrown so 

Catherine 

O’Neill 

we’re giving it a bit of love to get it 

back into shape.” 

The sensory garden is located 

on a plot of land at the back of 

the New Brighton Community 

Garden. 

The team is hoping to connect 

the two gardens to be able 

to better showcase the work 

of staff and volunteers, like 

newly-appointed assistant Vic 

Nebbeling, pictured right. 

Funding and administration 

manager Lin Klenner said visitors 

might start getting to know Vic. 

“Then maybe if they’re not too 

shy, they might feel like coming 

into the community garden as 

well.” 

The restoration process has 

started slowly, with the gardeners 

cutting through tall bushes. 

Workers from Christchurch 

company Naylor Love have also 

volunteered their time and a 

chainsaw to demolish some of the 

overgrown trees. 

Klenner believes they’ve made a 

great start by clearing everything 

out.

Public consultation on 

the Fire and Emergency levy 

for 2026—2029 

Fire and Emergency New Zealand has opened public consultation 

on our proposed levies for the period 1 July 2026—30 June 2029. 

Fire and Emergency is funded almost entirely through levies on eligible 

insurance policies. When the Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017 came 

into effect a transitional levy funded the new organisation until the new levy 

arrangements, under Part 3 of the Act, could be brought in. The new levy will 

take effect on 1 July 2026. 

We are only what 

we always were… 

Before introducing the new levy arrangements, we are required to consult on the 

proposed levies and the activities we plan to undertake during the levy period. 

To support consultation on the levy arrangements for the period 

1 July 2026—30 June 2029, a discussion document on our website sets out: 

• the activities we propose to undertake over the levy period and the 

estimated costs of delivering these activities, 

• our proposed levy rates, and 

• the assumptions we have made in estimating our costs and the steps 

involved calculating the proposed levy rates. 

We welcome submissions from levy payers, insurance policy holders, their 

representatives and interested members of the public on our proposals to help 

inform the Government’s decisions on the final levies for 2026—2029. 

More information on this consultation and how to 

submit a response can be found on our website at

Nature inspires artists to tackle 

climate change with new trail 

AN OUTDOOR gallery, 

featuring artists young and old, 

is breathing life into the former 

Avonside Girls’ High site. 

The new A-MAZE-INK art 

trail is being developed by the 

Climate Action Campus with 

assistance from the city council 

graffiti team. 

“We feel incredibly privileged 

to be able to come to work each 

day and be greeted by beautiful 

art from so many diverse 

artists, enhancing our space,” 

campus learning advisor Rachel 

Cummins said. 

The oldest artist who 

responded to the call-out was 

82-year-old Reng Yu Chen – who 

goes by Mr Chen. 

His pink and blue mural 

featuring lotus and swans 

takes up the back wall of an old 

classroom, and is the first thing 

you see when you step foot into 

the grounds from Avonside 

Drive. 

“I wanted to paint beautiful 

life, flowers, and swans. The lotus 

is a sign of beauty and kindness 

in Asian culture,” Mr Chen 

explained through a translator. 

“I love Christchurch. I love the 

life here, the people here, the city, 

the water, the air, the sunshine, 

and the climate.” 

Seventeen-year-old Amelia 

Green is one of the youngest 

artists featured in the series. Her 

lifelike renditions of native New 

Zealand birds cover an otherwise 

bland toilet block. 

“I’m on a gap year thinking 

about what I want to do for a 

career, and I thought how can I 

put myself out there as an artist. 

I’m not the type of person who 

can just sit around,” Amelia said. 

“I was inspired by nature, 

it’s an important part of New 

Zealand culture. I had a lady 

walk past recently and she 

got emotional because the tui 

reminded her of her mum who 

had passed away. That was 

special.” 

Council graffiti co-ordinator 

Mel Hillier said the trail 

showcased the value of art. 

“The MAZE is showcasing 

the art community by valuing 

the voices of artists of every age 

and encouraging creativity with 

another opportunity to celebrate 

art in our city,” she said. 

“Giant wall murals of beauty 

painted by artists of every genre 

with their varied perceptions of 

treasuring and protecting the 

climate are everywhere.” 

What is the Climate Action 

Campus? 

The campus offers a place 

to learn, develop and initiate 

climate change ideas and 

actions. It has more than 1000 

students and not-for-profits 

working at it every week. 

Tunnel houses, bee hives, 

a bush kindy, butterfly and 

skink habitats, and vegetable 

gardens are just a few of the 

projects onsite.

UFFLINKS 

We look after all types of hard-working entrepreneurs from four handy locations. 

Whether you’re on a building site or a deadline for the deal of the century, let’s talk.

‘Don’t cut our school lunches’ – pupils 

• By Sasha Watson 

SCHOOL PUPILS are making a 

heart-felt plea to Prime Minister 

Christopher Luxon: ‘Please 

don’t take away our free school 

lunches’. 

It follows a public meeting held 

last week at Haeata Community 

Campus, to discuss what an up 

to 50 per cent funding cut to the 

Ka Ora Ka Ako – Healthy School 

Lunch programme could be like. 

Christchurch East MP Reuben 

Davidson, who set up the 

meeting, was joined by Labour 

education spokesperson Jan 

Tinetti, several city councillors 

and members from the Waitai 

Coastal-Burwood-Linwood and 

Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central 

Community Boards. 

Davidson has also been to 

various schools to get their 

feedback on the proposed cuts 

and will be delivering a stack 

of letters from several five to 

14-year-old pupils to Luxon this 

week. 

One letter from a Haeata 

Community Campus year 8 

student mentioned the rising 

costs of food and ingredients. 

“Mr Luxon, since buying food 

and ingredients to make lunches 

are expensive, didn’t you make 

the expenses higher for people to 

buy, and families and especially 

the chiefs that makes lunches for 

us children and family? 

“Foods digest in our body 

which brings us happiness 

because we have food that made 

us full . . . happiness makes us 

want to be a better person. Being 

a better person allows us to learn 

better and be smarter which 

means we’ll get good grades.” 

Another Haeata year six 

student wrote in their letter to 

Luxon: “The free lunch is very 

important for the community 

who don’t have money to buy 

lunch or food. 

“There’s some families out 

there that do not have the money 

to buy dinner so the leftover 

lunches from our school is 

sometimes their dinner.” 

Principals, pupils, parents 

and meal providers Nourish 

Ōraka, a community enterprise 

established to provide healthy 

school lunches in Shirley, 

attended the Haeata meeting to 

talk about their concerns. 

“They have all seen the many 

CONCERNED: A public meeting was held last week at Haeata Community Campus, to 

discuss what funding cuts to the Ka Ora Ka Ako – Healthy School Lunch programme could 

be like. Christchurch East MP Reuben Davidson has also been to various schools to get 

their feedback on the proposed cuts, including Shirley Intermediate School. 

positives of the programme and 

are very concerned at what the 

cuts will take away from our 

communities and ultimately 

from our kids,’’ Davidson said. 

“We also know from local 

principals and teachers that it has 

increased attendance, reduced 

sick bay queues and helped kids 

to focus and learn. 

“I can’t see any reason we’d 

want to lose that progress.” 

Davidson said any government 

that is truly focused on the cost 

of living, school attendance and 

achievement “should listen to the 

voice of our children’’. 

“David Seymour, the Associate 

Minister of Education, has talked 

about halving the programme. 

This could mean some schools 

that are part of the programme 

miss out completely.” 

He said the cuts could also 

mean schools get a reduced 

amount of food, and kids 

without lunches would be 

singled out. 

“We know this is not a good 

approach as it creates a stigma 

and a lot of kids won’t ask for 

lunch out of a fear of drawing 

attention to themselves. 

“The solution would be to 

maintain and grow the programme, 

that’s what I’m calling 

for and why I’m asking people to 

sign our petition and write letters 

to the ministers. 

“No-one campaigned on cutting 

school lunches and no-one 

should be.”

continuing education 

80 years of lifelong Term 2 at WEA 

learning at Risingholme 

A curious mind opens the door to 

learning something new. Whether its 

picking up a new hobby, flexing a dormant 

creative muscle, or learning a language or 

professional skills needed for employment 

or personal fulfilment, the benefits of 

lifelong learning are numerous. 

Risingholme has been developing and 

delivering a range of community education 

courses for 80 years, allowing tens of 

thousands of learners the opportunity to 

upskill, create, and learn something new. 

Our courses cover a range of subjects 

from pottery to art, fabric and wood 

crafts, languages, health & wellbeing and 

foundation courses. Although our course 

programme often changes in response 

to local needs with new courses being 

developed every year, some popular courses 

such as sewing, woodwork, and pottery 

have stood the test of time and have run 

continually since the 1940s! 

Part of our success as a community 

education organisation has been the ability 

to design courses that are flexible and 

accessible, making it easy for you to jump 

into learning at whatever age and stage 

of life you are in. We offer day and night 

classes across three locations city-wide. Our 

courses range from one-day workshops 

through to longer 8 week courses meaning 

that learning can fit around busy modern 

schedules. 

When Risingholme was gifted to 

the people of Christchurch in 1943 by 

local philanthropist J.R McKenzie, it 

was envisioned that it would become an 

important hub for the “health, amusement, 

and instruction of the public”. 80 years on, 

this social purpose remains at the heart 

of Risingholme as learning and leisure 

are combined in the accessible, flexible, 

and diverse programme of offerings we 

continue to run. 

Join us throughout the year as we 

celebrate our big 80th with events across 

the year that reflect on our history as an 

organisation and look forward to the 

future of lifelong learning in Ōtautahi 

Christchurch. We are partnering with local 

organisations to bring together exciting 

community events that foster connection, 

and highlighting the creative spirit of our 

learners through an upcoming showcase 

exhibition in term 3. Finally, we are also 

hosting a ‘Have a Go’ day in term 3 where 

you can explore some of our courses 

through small guided taster sessions and 

discover where your own curiosity might 

take you. 

Build a more self-sufficient lifestyle and 

cultivate skills at WEA, that avoid corporate 

solutions and minimise costs. 

“The Stretching Sloth” will share 

techniques to practice self-massage therapy. 

Ease niggly neck pains or tension headaches 

without the expense of a masseuse. Starts 

29th April, 4 Mondays, 1-3pm, $60. 

Explore permaculture design and the 7 

layers of a food forest at Ōtākaro Orchard 

with facilitator Roz Rolls. On Tuesday 7th 

May 12.30-1.30pm $12. 

Make your own cream moisturiser 

with healing properties from kawa kawa, 

comfrey and calendula. Calendula soothes 

irritated, dry skin. Jo McGinn reveals 

natural formulas without nasties or a hefty 

price tag! Sat 25th May, 1.30 - 4.30pm, $29. 

The Winter months are the perfect time to 

learn something new! Whether you want to 

keep active, learn a new skill or get creative, 

Papanui Adult and Community Education 

has a course to brighten up your Winter! 

New in Term 2 are Poetry Writing, a 

Writing Self-Editing Workshop, Vegetarian 

Indian Cooking, and Slow-Paced Yoga! 

Bring variety to your winter meals with 

inspiration from one of our Cooking 

Courses. Perhaps you have always wanted 

to learn a musical instrument? We offer 

Ukelele and Guitar. Or try a weekend day 

or 2-day practical Workshop such as Basket 

Making or Crochet. 

Our courses offer a great opportunity 

to develop your skills, interests, or a new 

hobby, as well as being an ideal place to 

If you are “sick and tired of feeling sick 

and tired”, give yourself this chance for 

change. Harness natural nervous system 

patterns with powerful techniques taught 

by qualified Alternative Health practitioner, 

Grace, whose solution focused approach 

is also a lot of fun. On Fridays 10th May 

1-2.30pm, 6wks $56, Free trial class on 

Friday 1 May 1-2.30pm. 

Explore environmental issues, politics, 

mathematical patterns and more. Find

Replacement 

playground plans 

‘disappointing’ 

• By Sasha Watson 

RESIDENTS ARE disappointed 

by design plans for Thomson 

Park playground, which is due to 

be replaced. 

Waitai 

Coastal-Burwood-Linwood 

Community 

Board member 

Alex Hewison 

said the design, 

which was sent 

to him last 

week, showed 

a smaller 

Alex 

Hewison 

footprint for the proposed playground, 

and no tunnel. 

“Staff have highlighted that 

whilst the footprint has decreased, 

and there is no tunnel, 

the number of interactive ‘play 

things’ remains the same and is 

therefore as like for like as possible 

without having to order a 

custom module playground. 

“This is disappointing news 

for New Brighton. I don’t think 

the community will accept this 

as like for like, due to the smaller 

size and lack of a tunnel.” 

On the Peoples Independent 

Republic of New Brighton 

Facebook page, one resident 

commented the playground’s 

design was “very generic”. Another 

said it looked smaller and 

lost the fort vibe which “the kids 

absolutely love”. 

Hewison said the playground 

is an eastside staple, loved and 

used by the community for 

decades. 

“Elected members were made 

aware Thomson Park playground 

was unsafe and would be 

taken down. 

“I advocated that this should 

be replaced like for like, and was 

assured in a public briefing on 

March 28 that the city council 

ABSENT: The tunnel, a part of the existing Thomson Park 

playground, has not been included in the new design. 

will endeavour to do this where 

possible.” 

City council community parks 

manager Al Hardy said the 

decision not to include a tunnel 

was due to the unavailability of 

compatible options within the 

modular structure. 

“However, it’s important to 

note the playground still features 

a tunnel in the junior play 

module, which is not scheduled 

for renewal at this time.” 

Hardy said the playground 

renewal, which is expected to 

start in July, came after a routine 

safety inspection in December. 

“The swing and large module 

were found to be rusting, 

compromising their structural 

integrity. Additionally, the 

inspection report raised 

concerns about the original 

design of the joists of the large 

module due to the age of the 

playground, deeming them 

insufficient to adequately 

support the platforms.” 

Hewison had requested 

the board be provided with 

replacement options, but this 

could not be guaranteed. The 

playground is not under the 

board’s delegation and as such 

does not need its approval to go 

ahead. 

PLANS: The new design for 

the playground also has a 

smaller footprint.

the Port Hills and the pumping station come together, or

Inset – Doris Lusk’s The Pumping Station. 

Doris Lusk art 

a family affair 

A NEW interactive artwork in 

Linwood Village pays homage 

to artist Doris Lusk – and was 

designed by her granddaughters. 

The sculpture by Natasha 

English and Tatyanna Meharry 

is sited in Doris Lusk Reserve, 

which was named after the 

artist. It reimagines one of 

Lusk’s most iconic paintings, The 

Pumping Station (1958), and was 

inspired by the city’s landscape 

and the suburb of Linwood, 

where the pumping station is 

located. 

The sculpture, called Pumping 

Station Perspective, uses tubular 

metal lines to make hill and 

pumping station shapes which, 

when viewed from the paving 

feature, resemble Lusk’s famous 

artwork. 

The bricks used in the paving 

were created by members of 

the community in a weekend 

workshop at Meharry’s ceramics 

studio. 

The artwork was requested by 

the community as part of the 

Linwood Village Master Plan. 

“What makes this artwork 

particularly special is that the 

artists who designed it are 

granddaughters of artist Doris 

Lusk,” says Waipapa Papanui-

NEWSLINE 

The original pump station 

on Tuam St. 

Innes-Central Community 

Board chair, Emma Norrish. 

“Having that close connection 

is remarkable; we’re thrilled 

to have been able to work with 

Natasha and Tatyanna on this 

project. It’s truly a celebration of 

the location, the neighbourhood 

and the people who lived and live 

here.” 

The sisters have collaborated 

together on several projects, 

including winning two supreme 

awards at the World of Wearable 

Arts in 2013 and 2018. 

The pump station still stands 

on its original site in Tuam St and 

is now home to a salvage yard. 

It is one of the oldest remaining 

parts of the city’s 19th century 

sewerage system.


Quinoa makes for 

delicious, light and 

tender meatballs 

Quinoa & Chicken Meatballs in a 

Tomato Sauce 

Serves 4 

GLUTEN-FREE quinoa is a great 

addition to these chicken meatballs, as it 

acts as a binding ingredient, helping to 

hold the meatballs together (in place of 

the usual breadcrumbs that most recipes 

use for this purpose) producing lovely 

light and tender meatballs. 

Ingredients 

Meatballs 

1/2 cup Alison’s Pantry Quinoa, plus 

extra to serve 

400g chicken mince 

1 small onion, grated 

2 garlic cloves, crushed 

1/4 tsp dried chilli flakes 

1/4 cup chopped parsley, plus more for 

garnish 

1 medium courgette, grated 

Salt and freshly ground black pepper 

1/3 cup Alison’s Pantry Pinenuts, toasted, 

to garnish 

Tomato sauce 

2 tbsp olive oil 

1 small onion, finely diced 

500ml tomato puree 

Method 

• Place quinoa in a fine sieve and rinse 

under cold running water for 1 minute. 

Cook rinsed quinoa in a pot of boiling 

water for 12-15 minutes until tender to 

the bite. Drain well and set aside to cool. 

• Preheat oven to 200°C. In a large bowl, 

place chicken, quinoa, onion, garlic, chilli 

and parsley. Squeeze excess moisture 

from grated courgette; add courgette to 

the bowl. Season with salt and pepper 

and mix well to combine. 

• With damp hands (to stop the mixture 

sticking), take one tablespoon of mixture 

and roll into a ball. Repeat until you have 

24. Place meatballs on a baking tray lined 

with baking paper, leaving space between 

them. Bake for 20 minutes until lightly 

browned and firm. 

• At the same time, heat oil in a saucepan. 

Add onion and cook over a medium heat 

for 5 minutes. Add tomato puree and 

simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust 

seasoning with salt and pepper. 

• Once meatballs are cooked, transfer 

them to the tomato sauce and gently stir 

to coat. Scatter with parsley and pine 

nuts and serve with extra cooked quinoa 

or pasta, and vegetables or a green salad, 

as preferred. 

Tip: Make sure you use a fine sieve to 

rinse the quinoa otherwise the tiny 

grains of quinoa will fall through the 

coarse holes in the sieve and be lost down 

the sink.

for Alison’s Pantry 

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS 

Papanui High School 

Our School, Our Success, Our Responsibility 

“Our aim is simple... to provide the best 

education possible for every student.” 

At Papanui High School positive 

relationships are at the forefront of 

what we do. Connecting through a 

responsive local curriculum we provide 

an opportunity for all students to learn 

in a productive and future-focused 

environment. 

The opportunity to learn from an 

innovative and broad curriculum is 

critical to providing a pathway that meets 

each student’s individual needs. Papanui 

High School allows for a greater range 

and flexibility in subject choice including 

the utilization of the secondary/tertiary 

interface. This reinforces the philosophy 

underpinning personalised learning and is 

strongly supported by understanding our 

students’ interests, passions, talents, and 

ultimately their career aspirations. 

We understand that for effective 

learning to take place, it has to be 

implemented in such a way that students 

will be highly engaged. The school 

does this in a ‘forward thinking’ way by 

creating learning environments that allow 

our students to see value in what they do 

and achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” is what 

we represent, and we demonstrate this by 

having young adults leave our school as 

confident learners who have gained the 

appropriate qualifications and social skills 

to become valued contributing members 

of society. 

All that we do here is reinforced by 

positive relationships, an ethos of caring, 

cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and 

high expectations. The school highly 

values the connectedness between 

curricular and co-curricular learning 

and forming partnerships with our 

wider school community. We have a 

philosophical understanding that the 

holistic development of the student is 

critical to individual success. 

The school is working hard to 

consolidate recent initiatives to ensure 

sustained and continuous improvement. 

You are invited to view our website, school 

charter, ERO report, and/or contact the 

school for more information. 

We look forward to welcoming all 

prospective students and their families/ 

whānau to visit our school at our Open 

Evening on Thursday 23rd May.

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS 

Te Aratai College inspiring diverse learners 

Te Aratai College has a clear focus – to meet the 

individual needs of every learner in a safe, caring 

environment. Te Aratai College is a place where 

every learner is known and valued as an individual 

and where whānau-school relationships matter. 

From 1954 and the opening of Linwood High 

School, to 2024 and our first full year as Te Aratai 

College, our kura continues its proud history of 

serving its diverse community. 

We remain a truly community school, in the 

community and of the community. Our large and 

diverse catchment contributes to a richness that 

reflects Aotearoa-New Zealand’s current identity and 

prepares our learners to be active, global citizens. 

We have a vibrant, globally-rich culture that 

creates a stable, connected learning and social 

environment. All our learners therefore can expect 

to be challenged, enriched and supported to reach 

personalised excellence. With this, they develop 

core attributes that will ensure their success 

throughout life. 

Individuals learn best when who they are 

- language, culture and identity - is affirmed. 

Enhancing the mana and dignity of the individual 

is at the heart of Te Aratai College inspiring our 

diverse learners to be their best person. We focus 

on personalised success through a pathwayed 

curriculum, whereby learners progressively 

self-manage and direct their learning pathway 

- university, polytechnics and the workforce - 

reflecting our name gifted to us by Ngāi Tūāhuriri: 

Te Aratai College, Pathway to the Sea. 

We would love you to be part of this and we 

welcome whānau who wish to know more about 

their community’s completely rebuilt and stunning 

school. 

The Christian Education Network 

Working together for the good of students and 

families has been a successful recipe for Christian 

Integrated Schools in Christchurch. 

The Christian Education Network has been in 

existence for over ten years. Aidanfield Christian 

School, Emmanuel Christian School, Hillview 

Christian School, and Middleton Grange School 

decided in 2005 that there was much to be 

gained by working together cooperatively. They 

recognised opportunities to share successful 

teaching practice, curriculum development 

initiatives across a wide spectrum of school 

operations as well as cooperatively strengthening 

their special Christian Character. They recognised 

that their ability to serve students and families was 

greatly enhanced by working together in a close 

and trusting relationship. 

The success of the network has seen other schools 

wanting to join in. Early in the piece Rangiora 

New Life School became part of the network. The 

schools joined together to support the genesis of 

Ashburton Christian School and also culminated 

in with the opening of Rolleston Christian School 

in 2015. 

The schools have developed interlocking 

enrolment schemes which assists in providing 

transparent pathways in Christian education from 

new entrant through to Year 13. 

A further strength has been a cooperative 

engagement with the Ministry of Education 

who have been pivotal in assisting the network’s 

successful development.

We need your help to fill our beds. 

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre has 

23 beds for tamariki to stay during 

times of whānau stress or crisis. On 

average just 17 of these beds are filled 

due to resourcing constraints. 

Every empty bed is a missed 

opportunity to support a child in need. 

Donate today to give Canterbury 

tamariki a safe place to sleep. 

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre provides 

short term emergency or planned respite care 

for tamariki when they need extra support due 

to complications at home. 

Cholmondeley is an independent charity 

and costs just under $3,000,000 per year to 

run. 20% of this figure is met by Government 

funding, and the remaining 80% comes from 

the generous support of the Canterbury 

community.
