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

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.”

“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.

We welcome submissions from levy payers, insurance policy holders, their
representatives and interested members of the public on our proposals to help

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.

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.

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.

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.

Meet Jo Seagar at
Summerset Prebbleton
Join us at Summerset Prebbleton on Thursday 18 April as we welcome a very special guest
speaker, Jo Seagar.
Prepare to be inspired by Jo’s remarkable journey, transitioning from nursing to midwifery before
making her mark as a household name in the food industry and taking on the significant role as a
patron for all hospices in New Zealand.
In addition to her impactful work, Jo has recently embarked on globetrotting adventures across
Morocco, Italy, France and Scotland. She has curated food tours for House of Travel and led
captivating local tours to the Chatham Islands and the Napier Art Deco Festival, demonstrating
her unwavering commitment to providing enriching experiences.
Don’t miss the opportunity to hear from a New Zealand icon. Refreshments will be provided,
and there will be time to mix and mingle.
Friends and family are welcome, but seats are limited so please RSVP by Tuesday 16 April.
