pumpkin triumphs 

TEMPLETON grower Max 

Farrell knows how versatile 

vegetables are – especially 

pumpkins. 

He took out the prestigious 

Champion of Champions 

trophy at the Little River Giant 

Pumpkin Festival. 

He was runner-up in last 

year’s festival, which has been 

running for about 20 years. 

“I’m pleased with that, it’s a 

good day out. Help the school, 

raise some funds. That’s what 

it’s all about.” 

The master grower was happy 

to share a few secrets to growing 

a monster pumpkin. 

“Quite a bit of fertilizer, quite 

a bit of water and plenty of 

luck.” 

But Farrell’s not resting on 

his laurels, vowing to return 

next year with an even bigger 

pumpkin or two. 

Thousands of people flocked 

to the small Banks Peninsula 

town of Little River on Sunday, 

to check out pumpkins of all 

shapes and sizes. 

The festival, which celebrates 

the versatility of the vegetable, 

is held as a community fundraiser 

helping support Little 

River School. 

Festival organiser Mel Birch 

said the event seems to get 

bigger every year, which was 

good news for the school.

High-value 

Merivale 

experiences 

largest 

dollar jump 

MERIVALE HAS recorded the 

biggest housing dollar change 

year-on-year in New Zealand. 

The average property value 

jumped $252,000 to $1.594 million, 

on the back of strong sales 

activity in the second half of 2023. 

The strongest 

lifts in the year 

to the end of 

March 2024 were 

in higher-value 

Canterbury suburbs, 

including 

Merivale and 

Fendalton. 

Christchurch 

and Queenstown- 

Owen 

Vaughan 

Lakes were the best performing 

major metros, with prices up yearon-year 

in every suburb in both 

centres. 

OneRoof editor Owen Vaughan 

said the quarterly figures highlighted 

the impact of the sudden 

rush to market by vendors across 

the country. 

“The listings surge has given 

buyers a chance to pause and 

gives them more bargaining 

power than they had six months 

ago, when much less stock was on 

the market.” 

Harcourts agent Cameron 

Bailey said some Christchurch 

suburbs had been underpriced 

since the earthquakes, with some 

recording year-on-year double 

digit growth.

Proximity to CBD 

• Watch the video on 

Starnews.co.nz 

increasingly popular 

• From page 1 

“I think Christchurch has 

been undervalued in the last few 

years. Auckland and other parts 

of New Zealand have enjoyed 

substantial capital gain during 

the 2010s, whereas the growth in 

Christchurch had been average,” 

Bailey told OneRoof. 

He said Merivale was a standout 

suburb, largely due to its 

proximity to the CBD and being 

in zone for some the city’s best 

schools. 

“The CBD is still not running 

at full steam but it’s getting 

closer and people are getting 

more excited about living close 

to it, which is why Merivale has 

moved ahead.” 

Bailey said Christchurch had 

become a favourable destination 

for buyers from other parts of 

the country, reported One Roof. 

“We’re finding quite a few 

people moving to Christchurch 

from Auckland and Hamilton 

because it is so attractive. You 

can get the same for a lot less 

down here.” 

And not every home for sale 

in Merivale is at the upper end 

of the city’s price bracket. Bailey 

expects a two-bedroom Peter 

Bevan-designed townhouse at 

1 Rugby St is likely to sell in the 

DESIRABLE: A four-bedroom home on Heaton St, 

Merivale, recently sold for $2.33m. 

$700,000 to $800,000 range. The 

1968-built home had 50 groups 

through in the first two weeks, 

he said. 

“There were investors, firsthome 

buyers and people looking 

for a Christchurch pad.” 

Bayleys agent Adam Heazlewood 

told OneRoof many of the 

buyers looking in Merivale and 

neighbouring Fendalton were 

impressed by the quality of the 

homes there. 

He cited as an example of 

a recent sale on Heaton St, in 

Merivale. The four-bedroom 

Heathcote Helmore-designed 

home sold for $2.23m in January 

– more than $300,000 above its 

2021 RV. 

“These types of property 

always get a lot of focus. It was 

perfectly presented and sold 

to a family from wider Canterbury 

who were wanting to lessen 

their commute to school and 

work.” 

He agreed with Bailey that 

outside buyers were driving the 

market in the city’s top suburbs. 

“There are a lot of buyers from 

outside Canterbury buying and 

moving to Christchurch. A lot 

from Auckland, Wellington and 

Otago are looking in the upper 

end of the market.”

Champions trophy by festival organiser Mel Birch. Below –

Growing a winner 

• From page 1 

“Tamariki like to receive 

microscopes and sunblock and 

tissues in class, all sorts of things 

we raise money for,” said Birch. 

Hamilton’s annual pumpkin 

carnival got cancelled this year, 

making the Little River event 

the country’s biggest pumpkin 

festival of 2024. 

Competition was fierce as 

growers from across the district 

lined up in eight categories, 

including the smallest, the ugliest 

and the best children’s decorated 

pumpkins. 

Six-year-old first-time grower 

Margot Keymer was proud to 

claim the perfect pumpkin title. 

Festival organisers have already 

started planning for next year’s 

event, which they have just 

announced will be held on April 6.

Nature inspires artists to tackle 

CREATIVE: Artists Reng Yu Chen and Amelia Green 

working on their murals at the Climate Action Campus. 

PHOTOS: NEWSLINE 

AN OUTDOOR gallery, 

featuring artists young and old, is 

breathing life into an old school 

site. 

The new A-MAZE-INK art 

trail is being developed by the 

Climate Action Campus, with 

assistance from the city council 

graffiti team. It takes place at the 

former Avonside Girls’ High site. 

“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.

climate change 

“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, a chicken farm, 

butterfly and skink habitats, and vegetable gardens are 

just a few of the projects onsite. 

Chopper drops 

in to Boys’ High 

A DEFENCE force Super 

Seasprite helicopter dropped 

into Christchurch Boys’ High 

School on Friday. 

Its arrival saw many students 

take to the field and get up close 

and personal with the aircraft. 

Headmaster Nic Hill said the 

New Zealand Defence Force was 

an exciting organisation that 

created pathways for students 

to explore a range of career opportunities. 

“Activities such as a navy 

helicopter visiting the school 

help spark interest with students 

and the community to explore 

options they may not have considered.” 

The chopper is primarily used 

for anti-surface and underwater 

warfare, as well as maritime 

patrols and surveillance. 

It is also used in search and 

rescue, utility operations, 

domestic tasks for agencies like 

the Department of Conservation 

and the Ministry of Primary Industries, 

as well as the training 

of pilots, observers, helicopter 

loadmasters and ship flight deck 

teams. 

It is operated by a three-person 

crew – a pilot, an observer 

who specialises in warfare and 

mission command, and a helicopter 

loadmaster who directs 

utility operations. 

Hill said the NZDF will be 

holding an information evening 

at 6.30pm on May 15 at the 

Wigram Air Force Museum. 

“It is an opportunity for people 

and their families to hear more.” 

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. 

LOVELY NEW STYLES 

ARRIVING DAILY 

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. 

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.

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.

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.

Quinoa makes for 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.

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.

Sumner surfers clinch top spots 

STAR: 17-year-old Jack Tyro is cementing his place as a 

surfing legend after placing first in the mens final for the 

Single Fin Mingle. He beat long time Sumner surfing great 

and former Mingle winner Luke O’Neill. 

• By Dylan Smits 

SUMNER SURFERS Jack 

Tyro and Luke O’Neill made a 

splash at the Single Fin Mingle 

coming in first and second 

place respectively in the men’s 

longboarding competition. 

Onlookers and competitors 

were lucky to have great weather 

and waves over Friday and 

Saturday, said festival director 

Ambrose McNeill. 

“Jack is just such a fierce 

competitor. He is unrelenting in 

hunting for the right waves and 

won’t stop until he gets the score 

he needs.” 

In a surprise outcome, only 

New Zealanders made it to 

the men’s final despite tough 

competition from successful 

international surfers Kai Ellice- 

Flint and Thomas Bexon. 

“If you told me there 

were going to be only New 

Zealanders in the final before 

the event, I would have said 

that’s pretty unlikely. So it was 

very special,” McNeill said. 

Tyro clinched the top spot 

with a heat total of 15.040 

points compared to O’Neill’s 

13.66. 

Each wave surfed was scored 

out of 10 with the surfer’s top 

two scores combined for their 

final total. 

McNeill said Tyro was a 

favourite after the 17-year-old’s 

standout victory at the Noosa 

Longboard Festival of Surfing 

BUSY: Organisers estimate there were 1000 spectators for 

the surf competition, 1400 at the street party and around 

4000 total visitors throughout the festival. 

in Queensland, but it was no 

sure bet. 

“It felt like a passing of the 

torch. You know, Luke has always 

been referred to as the prince of 

Sumner for how talented he is.” 

The surfers were judged on 

wave selection, variety, speed, 

commitment, control and 

footwork.
