First steps taken towards<br />
bridge replacement plan<br />
• By Geoff Sloan<br />
A NEW replacement for New<br />
Brighton’s “lifeline” Pages Rd<br />
bridge will be built slightly north<br />
of the existing one, allowing the<br />
current bridge to remain open<br />
while the replacement is being<br />
constructed.<br />
The project marked a major<br />
milestone last week when a<br />
hearings panel heard public<br />
submissions on the $65 million<br />
project with more than 250<br />
individuals and organisations<br />
giving their views on the project<br />
and draft design.<br />
THe city council is wanting to<br />
replace the old earthquakedamaged<br />
bridge with a new one,<br />
better able to handle evacuations<br />
in the event of a natural disaster.<br />
It is expected to take a few<br />
months for the submissions to be<br />
collated, before the final project is<br />
presented to city councillors for<br />
a vote.<br />
Coastal Ward city councillor<br />
Celeste Donovan said the Pages<br />
Rd bridge was, in her view, the<br />
number one project for the east.<br />
“It provides the lifeline link<br />
to the area. So we know if there<br />
was a tsunami or another event,<br />
it provides the key linkage for<br />
the eastern suburbs to get out, so<br />
it is really vital we get that work<br />
completed as soon as possible”.<br />
A report by council staff said<br />
if nothing was done, the bridge<br />
would continue to deteriorate,<br />
SUBSTANDARD: The earthquake-damaged Pages Rd bridge currently meets only 15-20 per cent of the new building<br />
standards with the council hearing submissions on the plans and design for a replacement.<br />

risking the safety of thousands<br />
of residents. Donovan says<br />
council and most submitters<br />
were united in their calls for a<br />
new bridge.<br />
The “Gateway to New<br />
Brighton” project would see<br />
the bridge replaced, along with<br />
changes to surrounding streets<br />
and intersections.<br />
The aim is to significantly<br />
improve traffic flow in, and<br />
out of the area, with one lane<br />
for eastbound traffic into New<br />
Brighton, and two lanes for<br />
vehicles heading out of the<br />
seaside suburb.<br />

Stench persists as insurance<br />
wait delays repair work<br />
• By Anna Sargeant<br />
THERE APPEARS to be no<br />
end in sight for residents forced<br />
to put up with the foul stench<br />
being emitted from Bromley’s<br />
fire-damaged wastewater<br />
treatment plant.<br />
The city council is waiting for<br />
an insurance payout before it<br />
can repair the plant.<br />
Two filters at the plant were<br />
destroyed during a fire in<br />
November 2021, releasing a<br />
pungent and rotten stench<br />
across the city.<br />
Residents<br />
have<br />
complained<br />
about nausea,<br />
headaches,<br />
worsening<br />
asthma, and<br />
deteriorating<br />
Phil Mauger mental health<br />
due to the smell.<br />
A temporary system was put<br />
in place, but the vile odour still<br />
remains.<br />
At a public meeting, Mayor<br />
Phil Mauger told residents<br />
delays to the insurance payout<br />
was holding up progress.<br />
“One of the things we’re<br />
doing – which is causing us a<br />
bit of grief – is we’re waiting<br />
for our insurance payout and<br />
BURNT: The Bromley wastewater treatment plant in 2017 after being damaged by fire.<br />
that might be one month, two<br />
months, three months, so<br />
that’s getting worked on at the<br />
moment.”<br />
Bromley resident Vickie<br />
Walker said after two-and-ahalf<br />
years people had run out of<br />
patience.<br />
“As we’ve been told for quite<br />
a while, they’re still waiting for<br />
the settlement of the insurance,<br />
so they can go ahead with what<br />
they plan, but I’d like to see it<br />
happening now so that we know<br />
that it’s not going to be a problem<br />
again.”<br />
City councillor Sam<br />
MacDonald said the council was<br />
working “around the clock” to<br />
sort settlement.<br />
“As soon as we can do that we<br />
will go public with it, so everyone<br />
in the community has confidence<br />
that we can deliver what is<br />
needed for that community and<br />
for the wider Christchurch.”<br />
Last year, an independent<br />
review found the city council’s<br />
recovery from the 2021 fire was<br />
poor and slow. – RNZ<br />
Community<br />
pantry gets<br />
helping hand<br />
THE TRAVIS Country<br />
community will have a newly<br />
constructed share pantry from<br />
this weekend.<br />
Nick Hamilton,<br />
who conjured<br />
up the project<br />
with his wife<br />
Megan, said he<br />
and builder Lucas<br />
Firth will start<br />
construction on<br />
Saturday.<br />
It comes after<br />
a donation of<br />
Nick<br />
Hamilton<br />
materials from Bunnings to get<br />
the pantry up and<br />
running.<br />
Hamilton said it was a big help,<br />
considering the retail cost of the<br />
materials was $860.<br />
“It’s fantastic. They have<br />
donated a big garden shed,<br />
shelving, bins for produce, and a<br />
cupboard for the book exchange<br />
towards this project.<br />
“It’s very gratifying for someone<br />
like Bunnings to help out with<br />
the equipment. It means we don’t<br />
have to run around fundraising.<br />
“It helps the community<br />
initiative get off the ground.”<br />
Once the pantry is set up,<br />
Hamilton said he will inform the<br />
community via Facebook.<br />
• To contribute to the<br />
pantry, contact Nick<br />

New life for neglected garden<br />
• By Emiily O’Hagan<br />
COMMUNITY gardeners in<br />
New Brighton have been given<br />
the challenge of restoring an<br />
eight-year-old sensory garden.<br />
The space was originally<br />
designed by Smile Dial NZ to<br />
enable children and people with<br />
disabilities to be able to feel,<br />
smell, see, taste and hear the<br />
garden.<br />
New Brighton community<br />
gardening<br />
manager<br />
Catherine<br />
O’Neill said<br />
over the years<br />
the facility has<br />
become a little<br />
neglected.<br />
“Over time<br />
it’s got a little bit<br />
overgrown so<br />
Catherine<br />
O’Neill<br />
we’re giving it a bit of love to get it<br />
back into shape.”<br />
The sensory garden is located<br />
on a plot of land at the back of<br />
the New Brighton Community<br />
Garden.<br />
The team is hoping to connect<br />
the two gardens to be able<br />
to better showcase the work<br />
of staff and volunteers, like<br />
newly-appointed assistant Vic<br />
Nebbeling, pictured right.<br />
Funding and administration<br />
manager Lin Klenner said visitors<br />
might start getting to know Vic.<br />
“Then maybe if they’re not too<br />
shy, they might feel like coming<br />
into the community garden as<br />
well.”<br />
The restoration process has<br />
started slowly, with the gardeners<br />
cutting through tall bushes.<br />
Workers from Christchurch<br />
company Naylor Love have also<br />
volunteered their time and a<br />
chainsaw to demolish some of the<br />
overgrown trees.<br />
Klenner believes they’ve made a<br />
great start by clearing everything<br />
out.<br />

Public consultation on<br />
the Fire and Emergency levy<br />
for 2026—2029<br />
Fire and Emergency New Zealand has opened public consultation<br />
on our proposed levies for the period 1 July 2026—30 June 2029.<br />
Fire and Emergency is funded almost entirely through levies on eligible<br />
insurance policies. When the Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017 came<br />
into effect a transitional levy funded the new organisation until the new levy<br />
arrangements, under Part 3 of the Act, could be brought in. The new levy will<br />
take effect on 1 July 2026.<br />
We are only what<br />
we always were…<br />
Before introducing the new levy arrangements, we are required to consult on the<br />
proposed levies and the activities we plan to undertake during the levy period.<br />
To support consultation on the levy arrangements for the period<br />
1 July 2026—30 June 2029, a discussion document on our website sets out:<br />
• the activities we propose to undertake over the levy period and the<br />
estimated costs of delivering these activities,<br />
• our proposed levy rates, and<br />
• the assumptions we have made in estimating our costs and the steps<br />
involved calculating the proposed levy rates.<br />
We welcome submissions from levy payers, insurance policy holders, their<br />
representatives and interested members of the public on our proposals to help<br />
inform the Government’s decisions on the final levies for 2026—2029.<br />
More information on this consultation and how to<br />
submit a response can be found on our website at<br />

Nature inspires artists to tackle<br />
climate change with new trail<br />
AN OUTDOOR gallery,<br />
featuring artists young and old,<br />
is breathing life into the former<br />
Avonside Girls’ High site.<br />
The new A-MAZE-INK art<br />
trail is being developed by the<br />
Climate Action Campus with<br />
assistance from the city council<br />
graffiti team.<br />
“We feel incredibly privileged<br />
to be able to come to work each<br />
day and be greeted by beautiful<br />
art from so many diverse<br />
artists, enhancing our space,”<br />
campus learning advisor Rachel<br />
Cummins said.<br />
The oldest artist who<br />
responded to the call-out was<br />
82-year-old Reng Yu Chen – who<br />
goes by Mr Chen.<br />
His pink and blue mural<br />
featuring lotus and swans<br />
takes up the back wall of an old<br />
classroom, and is the first thing<br />
you see when you step foot into<br />
the grounds from Avonside<br />
Drive.<br />
“I wanted to paint beautiful<br />
life, flowers, and swans. The lotus<br />
is a sign of beauty and kindness<br />
in Asian culture,” Mr Chen<br />
explained through a translator.<br />
“I love Christchurch. I love the<br />
life here, the people here, the city,<br />
the water, the air, the sunshine,<br />
and the climate.”<br />
Seventeen-year-old Amelia<br />
Green is one of the youngest<br />
artists featured in the series. Her<br />
lifelike renditions of native New<br />
Zealand birds cover an otherwise<br />
bland toilet block.<br />
“I’m on a gap year thinking<br />
about what I want to do for a<br />
career, and I thought how can I<br />
put myself out there as an artist.<br />
I’m not the type of person who<br />
can just sit around,” Amelia said.<br />
“I was inspired by nature,<br />
it’s an important part of New<br />
Zealand culture. I had a lady<br />
walk past recently and she<br />
got emotional because the tui<br />
reminded her of her mum who<br />
had passed away. That was<br />
special.”<br />
Council graffiti co-ordinator<br />
Mel Hillier said the trail<br />
showcased the value of art.<br />
“The MAZE is showcasing<br />
the art community by valuing<br />
the voices of artists of every age<br />
and encouraging creativity with<br />
another opportunity to celebrate<br />
art in our city,” she said.<br />
“Giant wall murals of beauty<br />
painted by artists of every genre<br />
with their varied perceptions of<br />
treasuring and protecting the<br />
climate are everywhere.”<br />
What is the Climate Action<br />
Campus?<br />
The campus offers a place<br />
to learn, develop and initiate<br />
climate change ideas and<br />
actions. It has more than 1000<br />
students and not-for-profits<br />
working at it every week.<br />
Tunnel houses, bee hives,<br />
a bush kindy, butterfly and<br />
skink habitats, and vegetable<br />
gardens are just a few of the<br />
projects onsite.<br />

‘Don’t cut our school lunches’ – pupils<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
SCHOOL PUPILS are making a<br />
heart-felt plea to Prime Minister<br />
Christopher Luxon: ‘Please<br />
don’t take away our free school<br />
lunches’.<br />
It follows a public meeting held<br />
last week at Haeata Community<br />
Campus, to discuss what an up<br />
to 50 per cent funding cut to the<br />
Ka Ora Ka Ako – Healthy School<br />
Lunch programme could be like.<br />
Christchurch East MP Reuben<br />
Davidson, who set up the<br />
meeting, was joined by Labour<br />
education spokesperson Jan<br />
Tinetti, several city councillors<br />
and members from the Waitai<br />
Coastal-Burwood-Linwood and<br />
Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central<br />
Community Boards.<br />
Davidson has also been to<br />
various schools to get their<br />
feedback on the proposed cuts<br />
and will be delivering a stack<br />
of letters from several five to<br />
14-year-old pupils to Luxon this<br />
week.<br />
One letter from a Haeata<br />
Community Campus year 8<br />
student mentioned the rising<br />
costs of food and ingredients.<br />
“Mr Luxon, since buying food<br />
and ingredients to make lunches<br />
are expensive, didn’t you make<br />
the expenses higher for people to<br />
buy, and families and especially<br />
the chiefs that makes lunches for<br />
us children and family?<br />
“Foods digest in our body<br />
which brings us happiness<br />
because we have food that made<br />
us full . . . happiness makes us<br />
want to be a better person. Being<br />
a better person allows us to learn<br />
better and be smarter which<br />
means we’ll get good grades.”<br />
Another Haeata year six<br />
student wrote in their letter to<br />
Luxon: “The free lunch is very<br />
important for the community<br />
who don’t have money to buy<br />
lunch or food.<br />
“There’s some families out<br />
there that do not have the money<br />
to buy dinner so the leftover<br />
lunches from our school is<br />
sometimes their dinner.”<br />
Principals, pupils, parents<br />
and meal providers Nourish<br />
Ōraka, a community enterprise<br />
established to provide healthy<br />
school lunches in Shirley,<br />
attended the Haeata meeting to<br />
talk about their concerns.<br />
“They have all seen the many<br />
CONCERNED: A public meeting was held last week at Haeata Community Campus, to<br />
discuss what funding cuts to the Ka Ora Ka Ako – Healthy School Lunch programme could<br />
be like. Christchurch East MP Reuben Davidson has also been to various schools to get<br />
their feedback on the proposed cuts, including Shirley Intermediate School.<br />
positives of the programme and<br />
are very concerned at what the<br />
cuts will take away from our<br />
communities and ultimately<br />
from our kids,’’ Davidson said.<br />
“We also know from local<br />
principals and teachers that it has<br />
increased attendance, reduced<br />
sick bay queues and helped kids<br />
to focus and learn.<br />
“I can’t see any reason we’d<br />
want to lose that progress.”<br />
Davidson said any government<br />
that is truly focused on the cost<br />
of living, school attendance and<br />
achievement “should listen to the<br />
voice of our children’’.<br />
“David Seymour, the Associate<br />
Minister of Education, has talked<br />
about halving the programme.<br />
This could mean some schools<br />
that are part of the programme<br />
miss out completely.”<br />
He said the cuts could also<br />
mean schools get a reduced<br />
amount of food, and kids<br />
without lunches would be<br />
singled out.<br />
“We know this is not a good<br />
approach as it creates a stigma<br />
and a lot of kids won’t ask for<br />
lunch out of a fear of drawing<br />
attention to themselves.<br />
“The solution would be to<br />
maintain and grow the programme,<br />
that’s what I’m calling<br />
for and why I’m asking people to<br />
sign our petition and write letters<br />
to the ministers.<br />
“No-one campaigned on cutting<br />
school lunches and no-one<br />
should be.”<br />

continuing education<br />
80 years of lifelong Term 2 at WEA<br />
learning at Risingholme<br />
A curious mind opens the door to<br />
learning something new. Whether its<br />
picking up a new hobby, flexing a dormant<br />
creative muscle, or learning a language or<br />
professional skills needed for employment<br />
or personal fulfilment, the benefits of<br />
lifelong learning are numerous.<br />
Risingholme has been developing and<br />
delivering a range of community education<br />
courses for 80 years, allowing tens of<br />
thousands of learners the opportunity to<br />
upskill, create, and learn something new.<br />
Our courses cover a range of subjects<br />
from pottery to art, fabric and wood<br />
crafts, languages, health & wellbeing and<br />
foundation courses. Although our course<br />
programme often changes in response<br />
to local needs with new courses being<br />
developed every year, some popular courses<br />
such as sewing, woodwork, and pottery<br />
have stood the test of time and have run<br />
continually since the 1940s!<br />
Part of our success as a community<br />
education organisation has been the ability<br />
to design courses that are flexible and<br />
accessible, making it easy for you to jump<br />
into learning at whatever age and stage<br />
of life you are in. We offer day and night<br />
classes across three locations city-wide. Our<br />
courses range from one-day workshops<br />
through to longer 8 week courses meaning<br />
that learning can fit around busy modern<br />
schedules.<br />
When Risingholme was gifted to<br />
the people of Christchurch in 1943 by<br />
local philanthropist J.R McKenzie, it<br />
was envisioned that it would become an<br />
important hub for the “health, amusement,<br />
and instruction of the public”. 80 years on,<br />
this social purpose remains at the heart<br />
of Risingholme as learning and leisure<br />
are combined in the accessible, flexible,<br />
and diverse programme of offerings we<br />
continue to run.<br />
Join us throughout the year as we<br />
celebrate our big 80th with events across<br />
the year that reflect on our history as an<br />
organisation and look forward to the<br />
future of lifelong learning in Ōtautahi<br />
Christchurch. We are partnering with local<br />
organisations to bring together exciting<br />
community events that foster connection,<br />
and highlighting the creative spirit of our<br />
learners through an upcoming showcase<br />
exhibition in term 3. Finally, we are also<br />
hosting a ‘Have a Go’ day in term 3 where<br />
you can explore some of our courses<br />
through small guided taster sessions and<br />
discover where your own curiosity might<br />
take you.<br />
Build a more self-sufficient lifestyle and<br />
cultivate skills at WEA, that avoid corporate<br />
solutions and minimise costs.<br />
“The Stretching Sloth” will share<br />
techniques to practice self-massage therapy.<br />
Ease niggly neck pains or tension headaches<br />
without the expense of a masseuse. Starts<br />
29th <strong>April</strong>, 4 Mondays, 1-3pm, $60.<br />

The Winter months are the perfect time to<br />
learn something new! Whether you want to<br />
keep active, learn a new skill or get creative,<br />
Papanui Adult and Community Education<br />

Making or Crochet.<br />

Replacement<br />
playground plans<br />
‘disappointing’<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
RESIDENTS ARE disappointed<br />
by design plans for Thomson<br />
Park playground, which is due to<br />
be replaced.<br />
Waitai<br />
Coastal-Burwood-Linwood<br />
Community<br />
Board member<br />
Alex Hewison<br />
said the design,<br />
which was sent<br />
to him last<br />
week, showed<br />
a smaller<br />
Alex<br />
Hewison<br />
footprint for the proposed playground,<br />
and no tunnel.<br />
“Staff have highlighted that<br />
whilst the footprint has decreased,<br />
and there is no tunnel,<br />
the number of interactive ‘play<br />
things’ remains the same and is<br />
therefore as like for like as possible<br />
without having to order a<br />
custom module playground.<br />
“This is disappointing news<br />
for New Brighton. I don’t think<br />
the community will accept this<br />
as like for like, due to the smaller<br />
size and lack of a tunnel.”<br />
On the Peoples Independent<br />
Republic of New Brighton<br />
Facebook page, one resident<br />
commented the playground’s<br />
design was “very generic”. Another<br />
said it looked smaller and<br />
lost the fort vibe which “the kids<br />
absolutely love”.<br />
Hewison said the playground<br />
is an eastside staple, loved and<br />
used by the community for<br />
decades.<br />
“Elected members were made<br />
aware Thomson Park playground<br />
was unsafe and would be<br />
taken down.<br />
“I advocated that this should<br />
be replaced like for like, and was<br />
assured in a public briefing on<br />
March 28 that the city council<br />
ABSENT: The tunnel, a part of the existing Thomson Park<br />
playground, has not been included in the new design.<br />
will endeavour to do this where<br />
possible.”<br />
City council community parks<br />
manager Al Hardy said the<br />
decision not to include a tunnel<br />
was due to the unavailability of<br />
compatible options within the<br />
modular structure.<br />
“However, it’s important to<br />
note the playground still features<br />
a tunnel in the junior play<br />
module, which is not scheduled<br />
for renewal at this time.”<br />
Hardy said the playground<br />
renewal, which is expected to<br />
start in July, came after a routine<br />
safety inspection in December.<br />
“The swing and large module<br />
were found to be rusting,<br />
compromising their structural<br />
integrity. Additionally, the<br />
inspection report raised<br />
concerns about the original<br />
design of the joists of the large<br />
module due to the age of the<br />
playground, deeming them<br />
insufficient to adequately<br />
support the platforms.”<br />
Hewison had requested<br />
the board be provided with<br />
replacement options, but this<br />
could not be guaranteed. The<br />
playground is not under the<br />
board’s delegation and as such<br />
does not need its approval to go<br />
ahead.<br />
PLANS: The new design for<br />
the playground also has a<br />
smaller footprint.<br />

Inset – Doris Lusk’s The Pumping Station.<br />
Doris Lusk art<br />
a family affair<br />
A NEW interactive artwork in<br />
Linwood Village pays homage<br />
to artist Doris Lusk – and was<br />
designed by her granddaughters.<br />
The sculpture by Natasha<br />
English and Tatyanna Meharry<br />
is sited in Doris Lusk Reserve,<br />
which was named after the<br />
artist. It reimagines one of<br />
Lusk’s most iconic paintings, The<br />
Pumping Station (1958), and was<br />
inspired by the city’s landscape<br />
and the suburb of Linwood,<br />
where the pumping station is<br />
located.<br />
The sculpture, called Pumping<br />
Station Perspective, uses tubular<br />
metal lines to make hill and<br />
pumping station shapes which,<br />
when viewed from the paving<br />
feature, resemble Lusk’s famous<br />
artwork.<br />
The bricks used in the paving<br />
were created by members of<br />
the community in a weekend<br />
workshop at Meharry’s ceramics<br />
studio.<br />
The artwork was requested by<br />
the community as part of the<br />
Linwood Village Master Plan.<br />
“What makes this artwork<br />
particularly special is that the<br />
artists who designed it are<br />
granddaughters of artist Doris<br />
Lusk,” says Waipapa Papanui-<br />

Innes-Central Community<br />
Board chair, Emma Norrish.<br />
“Having that close connection<br />
is remarkable; we’re thrilled<br />
to have been able to work with<br />
Natasha and Tatyanna on this<br />
project. It’s truly a celebration of<br />
the location, the neighbourhood<br />
and the people who lived and live<br />
here.”<br />
The sisters have collaborated<br />
together on several projects,<br />
including winning two supreme<br />
awards at the World of Wearable<br />
Arts in 2013 and 2018.<br />
The pump station still stands<br />
on its original site in Tuam St and<br />
is now home to a salvage yard.<br />
It is one of the oldest remaining<br />
parts of the city’s 19th century<br />
sewerage system.

Quinoa makes for<br />
delicious, light and<br />
tender meatballs<br />
Quinoa & Chicken Meatballs in a<br />
Tomato Sauce<br />
Serves 4<br />
GLUTEN-FREE quinoa is a great<br />
addition to these chicken meatballs, as it<br />
acts as a binding ingredient, helping to<br />
hold the meatballs together (in place of<br />
the usual breadcrumbs that most recipes<br />
use for this purpose) producing lovely<br />
light and tender meatballs.<br />
Ingredients<br />
Meatballs<br />
1/2 cup Alison’s Pantry Quinoa, plus<br />
extra to serve<br />
400g chicken mince<br />
1 small onion, grated<br />
2 garlic cloves, crushed<br />
1/4 tsp dried chilli flakes<br />
1/4 cup chopped parsley, plus more for<br />
garnish<br />
1 medium courgette, grated<br />
Salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />
1/3 cup Alison’s Pantry Pinenuts, toasted,<br />
to garnish<br />
Tomato sauce<br />
2 tbsp olive oil<br />
1 small onion, finely diced<br />
500ml tomato puree<br />
Method<br />
• Place quinoa in a fine sieve and rinse<br />
under cold running water for 1 minute.<br />
Cook rinsed quinoa in a pot of boiling<br />
water for 12-15 minutes until tender to<br />
the bite. Drain well and set aside to cool.<br />
• Preheat oven to 200°C. In a large bowl,<br />
place chicken, quinoa, onion, garlic, chilli<br />
and parsley. Squeeze excess moisture<br />
from grated courgette; add courgette to<br />
the bowl. Season with salt and pepper<br />
and mix well to combine.<br />
• With damp hands (to stop the mixture<br />
sticking), take one tablespoon of mixture<br />
and roll into a ball. Repeat until you have<br />
24. Place meatballs on a baking tray lined<br />
with baking paper, leaving space between<br />
them. Bake for 20 minutes until lightly<br />
browned and firm.<br />
• At the same time, heat oil in a saucepan.<br />
Add onion and cook over a medium heat<br />
for 5 minutes. Add tomato puree and<br />
simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust<br />
seasoning with salt and pepper.<br />
• Once meatballs are cooked, transfer<br />
them to the tomato sauce and gently stir<br />
to coat. Scatter with parsley and pine<br />
nuts and serve with extra cooked quinoa<br />
or pasta, and vegetables or a green salad,<br />
as preferred.<br />
Tip: Make sure you use a fine sieve to<br />
rinse the quinoa otherwise the tiny<br />
grains of quinoa will fall through the<br />
coarse holes in the sieve and be lost down<br />
the sink.<br />
– This recipe was created by Julie Le Clerc<br />
for Alison’s Pantry<br />
SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />
Papanui High School<br />
Our School, Our Success, Our Responsibility<br />
“Our aim is simple... to provide the best<br />
education possible for every student.”<br />
At Papanui High School positive<br />
relationships are at the forefront of<br />
what we do. Connecting through a<br />
responsive local curriculum we provide<br />
an opportunity for all students to learn<br />
in a productive and future-focused<br />
environment.<br />
The opportunity to learn from an<br />
innovative and broad curriculum is<br />
critical to providing a pathway that meets<br />
each student’s individual needs. Papanui<br />
High School allows for a greater range<br />
and flexibility in subject choice including<br />
the utilization of the secondary/tertiary<br />
interface. This reinforces the philosophy<br />
underpinning personalised learning and is<br />
strongly supported by understanding our<br />
students’ interests, passions, talents, and<br />
ultimately their career aspirations.<br />
We understand that for effective<br />
learning to take place, it has to be<br />
implemented in such a way that students<br />
will be highly engaged. The school<br />
does this in a ‘forward thinking’ way by<br />
creating learning environments that allow<br />
our students to see value in what they do<br />
and achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” is what<br />
we represent, and we demonstrate this by<br />
having young adults leave our school as<br />
confident learners who have gained the<br />
appropriate qualifications and social skills<br />
to become valued contributing members<br />
of society.<br />
All that we do here is reinforced by<br />
positive relationships, an ethos of caring,<br />
cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and<br />
high expectations. The school highly<br />
values the connectedness between<br />
curricular and co-curricular learning<br />
and forming partnerships with our<br />
wider school community. We have a<br />
philosophical understanding that the<br />
holistic development of the student is<br />
critical to individual success.<br />
The school is working hard to<br />
consolidate recent initiatives to ensure<br />
sustained and continuous improvement.<br />
You are invited to view our website, school<br />
charter, ERO report, and/or contact the<br />
school for more information.<br />
We look forward to welcoming all<br />
prospective students and their families/<br />

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />
Te Aratai College inspiring diverse learners<br />
Te Aratai College has a clear focus – to meet the<br />
individual needs of every learner in a safe, caring<br />
environment. Te Aratai College is a place where<br />
every learner is known and valued as an individual<br />
and where whānau-school relationships matter.<br />
From 1954 and the opening of Linwood High<br />
School, to <strong>2024</strong> and our first full year as Te Aratai<br />
College, our kura continues its proud history of<br />
serving its diverse community.<br />
We remain a truly community school, in the<br />
community and of the community. Our large and<br />
diverse catchment contributes to a richness that<br />
reflects Aotearoa-New Zealand’s current identity and<br />
prepares our learners to be active, global citizens.<br />
We have a vibrant, globally-rich culture that<br />
creates a stable, connected learning and social<br />
environment. All our learners therefore can expect<br />
to be challenged, enriched and supported to reach<br />
personalised excellence. With this, they develop<br />
core attributes that will ensure their success<br />
throughout life.<br />
Individuals learn best when who they are<br />
- language, culture and identity - is affirmed.<br />
Enhancing the mana and dignity of the individual<br />
is at the heart of Te Aratai College inspiring our<br />
diverse learners to be their best person. We focus<br />
on personalised success through a pathwayed<br />
curriculum, whereby learners progressively<br />
self-manage and direct their learning pathway<br />
- university, polytechnics and the workforce -<br />
reflecting our name gifted to us by Ngāi Tūāhuriri:<br />
Te Aratai College, Pathway to the Sea.<br />
We would love you to be part of this and we<br />
welcome whānau who wish to know more about<br />
their community’s completely rebuilt and stunning<br />
school.<br />
The Christian Education Network<br />
Working together for the good of students and<br />
families has been a successful recipe for Christian<br />
Integrated Schools in Christchurch.<br />
The Christian Education Network has been in<br />
existence for over ten years. Aidanfield Christian<br />
School, Emmanuel Christian School, Hillview<br />
Christian School, and Middleton Grange School<br />
decided in 2005 that there was much to be<br />
gained by working together cooperatively. They<br />
recognised opportunities to share successful<br />
teaching practice, curriculum development<br />
initiatives across a wide spectrum of school<br />
operations as well as cooperatively strengthening<br />
their special Christian Character. They recognised<br />
that their ability to serve students and families was<br />
greatly enhanced by working together in a close<br />
and trusting relationship.<br />
The success of the network has seen other schools<br />
wanting to join in. Early in the piece Rangiora<br />
New Life School became part of the network. The<br />
schools joined together to support the genesis of<br />
Ashburton Christian School and also culminated<br />
in with the opening of Rolleston Christian School<br />
in 2015.<br />
The schools have developed interlocking<br />
enrolment schemes which assists in providing<br />
transparent pathways in Christian education from<br />
new entrant through to Year 13.<br />
A further strength has been a cooperative<br />
engagement with the Ministry of Education<br />
who have been pivotal in assisting the network’s<br />
successful development.<br />

We need your help to fill our beds.<br />
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre has<br />
23 beds for tamariki to stay during<br />
times of whānau stress or crisis. On<br />
average just 17 of these beds are filled<br />
due to resourcing constraints.<br />
Every empty bed is a missed<br />
opportunity to support a child in need.<br />
Donate today to give Canterbury<br />
tamariki a safe place to sleep.<br />
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre provides<br />
short term emergency or planned respite care<br />
for tamariki when they need extra support due<br />
to complications at home.<br />
Cholmondeley is an independent charity<br />
and costs just under $3,000,000 per year to<br />
run. 20% of this figure is met by Government<br />
funding, and the remaining 80% comes from<br />
the generous support of the Canterbury<br />
community.<br />
