Celebrate Matariki with 

Tīrama Mai light show 

CHECK OUT new 

commissioned artworks, take 

home a free tree, and soak 

in the city sights illuminated 

by Tīrama Mai this Puaka- 

Matariki. 

The city council’s annual 

Tīrama Mai event starts at the 

weekend, celebrating Puaka- 

Matariki in the heart of the city. 

Te Matatiki Toi Ora The Art 

Centre, Te Pae and Riverside 

Market will feature a range of 

art and lighting installations 

each evening from 5pm until 

10pm, from tomorrow until 

Sunday, June 30. 

City council manager of 

events and arts Lucy Blackmore 

said the annual event, which 

celebrates the Puaka and Matariki 

stars through art and light 

installations, projections, music 

soundscapes and storytelling is 

always evolving with new commissioned 

works. 

“An installation of 

Papatūānuku, titled MOTHER, 

will stand four metres high and 

two metres wide, featuring a 

stunning design by Xoë Hall, lit 

up from inside,” Blackmore said. 

It will be in the North Quad of 

The Art Centre. 

“We’ve also partnered with 

Trees for Canterbury to give 

away 2000 small native trees 

over the festival. Planting a new 

tree in your backyard is a great 

way to celebrate the time of 

renewal that Te Tau Hou (the 

Māori New Year) brings, and we 

encourage people to take up this 

opportunity.” 

On select nights, the giveaway 

will be based in front of Te 

Pae. 

Te Pae has close to 10 installations, 

including new lightbox 

artworks and a projection animation 

by Ariki Creative. 

“Other giveaways during the 

festival include light-up yo-yos 

from our sponsor, Orion, for the 

young and young of heart, and 

a free sausage sizzle run by The 

Hits FM,” Blackmore said. 

There will also be storytelling 

and kapa haka performances on 

select nights. The “test night” for 

Tirama Mai is this evening. 

The Arts Centre will be 

hosting a number of events, 

including Te Waiatatanga Mai 

o Te Atua (Song of the Gods), 

a brand-new exhibition at the 

Observatory tower which tells a 

version of the Ngāi Tahu creation 

story, as written down in 

1849 by Matiaha Tiramōrehu. 

The Matariki Midwinter 

Celebration invites attendees to 

honour a loved one who made 

a significant impact this year, 

while the two-night Garden 

City Mākete will feature local 

artisans, live performances, and 

food offerings. There will also be 

kapa haka in the Great Hall.

Matariki 

Matariki, the Māori 

New Year, is a time of 

cultural and spiritual 

significance. The 

annual event marks 

the appearance of 

the Matariki star 

cluster, also known as 

Pleiades, in the early 

morning sky. 

When these nine 

stars become visible, it 

signifies the start of a 

new year in the Māori 

lunar calendar. 

Matariki comes 

from the phrase 

“Ngā mata o te ariki 

Tāwhirimātea”, “the 

eyes of the god 

Tāwhirimātea” and 

translates to “little 

eyes”, highlighting the 

stars’ role as important 

markers of time and 

seasonal change. 

The exact date 

varies each year, as it 

is determined by the 

appearance of the 

Matariki star cluster in 

the predawn sky. 

But this year, the 

public holiday lands on 

Friday, June 28.

Safety upgrades to be made permanent 

STREETS IN Aranui will be 

permanently upgraded to make 

the area safer for people heading 

to nearby schools, shops or 

passing through the community. 

The Waitai Coastal-Burwood- 

Linwood Community Board 

approved installing safety 

improvements throughout 

Breezes Rd, Shortland St, 

Hampshire St and Rowan Ave. 

Upgrades including a new 

pedestrian crossing, speed 

humps, intersection upgrades, 

wider footpaths and bollards 

were trialled earlier this year, 

funded 90 per cent through 

NZ Transport Agency Waka 

Kotahi’s Streets for People 

programme. 

The main aim was to 

encourage school students from 

nearby Haeata Community 

Campus, St James School and 

Chisnallwood Intermediate to 

use active transport modes. 

During the trial, residents 

told the council they felt some 

intersections had been made too 

tight, so vehicles were having to 

cross the centre line and that the 

bollards were unattractive. 

After the feedback, changes 

were made to the final design 

so the intersections will now 

be widened to make turns less 

harsh, replacing the temporary 

bollards with permanent kerb 

build outs. 

These upgrades were approved 

by the board, as well as 

permanently installing the speed 

humps, platforms, and raised 

pedestrian crossings. 

Community board chair Paul 

McMahon said the safety of 

pedestrians, particularly from 

nearby schools, was the key 

consideration when making the 

decision to permanently upgrade 

the roads. 

“This area is busy with 

children playing and lots of 

pedestrians – making sure 

they’re safe is our priority,” he 

said. 

“I’m pleased we’ve gone 

through the robust trial process 

and adapted the designs both 

during the trial around Wainoni 

Park and St James School, and 

then again when making this 

permanent decision.” 

“The Aranui community 

turned out in force to share 

their views, and I think we 

have the best combination of 

making the streets safer for 

everyone and responding to their 

submissions,” McMahon said. 

Mental health mission for Tama the Tui 

• By Emily O’Hagan 

THE AUTHOR behind a new 

children’s book, Tama the Tui has 

been down for a while hopes it will 

encourage children to open up 

when they feel “sad and blue”. 

The book, written by Alvante 

Harris and illustrated by Maria 

Carroll, follows the journey of 

Tama the young tui who is feeling 

down but learns to share his 

feelings with friends and family. 

Harris hopes it will encourage 

children to share their feelings. 

“Not only will it give them the 

tools to open up, but it might even 

give them the tools to be able to 

support people when they need to. 

“So, if a friend does open up to 

them that they’re not feeling so 

good, they’ll have the tools they 

need to actually be able to help 

them and support them through 

that,” he said. 

It is the first book Harris has 

written after completing his first 

draft in 2022. 

He admits mental health is 

a difficult topic to discuss in 

New Zealand, but believes it is 

important for kids to learn about. 

“One thing that’s been common 

throughout my life, throughout 

my friends and family, is people 

aren’t very good at opening up 

and talking about their feelings,” 

Harris said. 

“So I figured that if you write a 

book for kids, then they can learn 

early and get the tools they need 

to be able to open up when they 

need to.”

Harris shared his book with 

pupils from Our Lady of the 

Assumption School in Hoon Hay. 

Harris has also started an 

initiative to help spread his 

important message. For every 

four books he sells, he’ll donate 

another to an organisation, 

school, or mental health worker 

who could benefit from it. 

He has ideas for future stories 

but said his first priority will be 

getting Tama the Tui translated 

into te reo Māori.

The Ritual Effect by Michael Norton 

The Transformative Power of Our Everyday Actions 

In this ground-breaking and inspiring guide, a renowned Harvard psychologist 

demonstrates how turning everyday habits into rituals can improve our work, our 

relationships and our lives. These rituals- practices are imbued with symbolic 

meaning. And they have the power to turn black-and-white moments into 

technicolour. Along the way, Norton shares stories from sporting superstars (Serena 

Williams always bouncing the ball five times before her first serve) Rituals can help 

us to forge winning teams, heal families experiencing grief and encourage us rise to 

challenges, big or small. Now it’s time to create yours. 

The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club 

By Helen Simonson 

The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club captures the ambitions, The 

Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club captures the ambitions, frustrations, 

and inevitable tragedies of women and men emerging from the Great War. After the 

war as the country prepares to celebrate its hard-won peace, Constance and the 

women of the club are forced to confront the fact that the freedoms they gained 

during the war are being revoked. With sharp humor, biting wit, and a warm heart, 

Simonson captures the mood of a generation facing the seismic changes brought on 

by war. This book is a timeless comedy of manners, refreshing as a summer breeze 

and bracing as the British seaside.

Red zone work a fun escape from class 

NURTURING nature in the red 

zone is where you’ll find George 

and Emma each week. 

Rain or shine, the pair spend 

their Friday mornings mulching, 

uncovering hidden plants 

and picking up rubbish in the 

Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor. 

George and Emma belong to 

Riccarton High’s Kohanga Ako 

class, which is purpose built for 

students with special education 

needs. 

As part of the class’s work 

experience programme, the 

students collaborate with 

the city council parks team, 

volunteering their time and 

contributing to the red zone 

regeneration. 

Twenty-year-old George, 

who started volunteering due 

to his passion for the outdoors, 

has an eagle eye for spotting 

small pieces of rubbish to be 

collected or plants in need of 

releasing. 

“It’s cool to get away from 

the classroom and spend time 

outside,” George said. 

“I like using the parks tools to 

pick up rubbish, it makes it a lot 

easier to keep the place clean.” 

Eighteen-year-old Emma, on 

A DESERTED residential 

playground has been brought 

back to life as a sensory nature 

play park. 

Te Kohanga Taiao Sensory 

Nature Play Park opened last 

weekend on Brooker Ave in the 

red zone after two businesses – 

Hummingbird Coffee and The 

Green Lab – teamed up to work 

with the city council on the 

project. 

Nestled within restoration 

plantings thanks to the efforts 

of Avon-Ōtākaro Forest Park 

Trust, the new park aims to 

serve as an educational hub and 

a nature haven to encourage 

a deeper connection with the 

environment.

“This kind of opportunity 

to invent play, to utilise 

found materials and discover 

interesting spaces to play 

are really important for our 

children’s sense of independence, 

creativity and confidence,” said 

city council play advocate Louise 

Van Tongeren. 

“The play spaces are 

deliberately set up to inspire 

children to head off and explore, 

without being overly prescriptive 

about what to actually do.” 

Children learn through all 

of their senses – for some that 

far have just come across old 

concrete,” Emma said. 

Learning on the job is all part 

of the experience, as the students 

develop skills and experience to 

help them into the work force.

others may learn better through 

sensory elements, Van Tongeren 

said. 

“When we provide spaces 

that allow for other kinds of 

exploration, including calmer 

play experiences, we are being 

much more inclusive of a wider 

range of needs within our 

community.” 

Last year, the pair brought 

the full Kohanga Ako class 

down to help with planting 

season, proudly showing their 

classmates around the area.

that stretches from the city to

“The opportunity to restore

through the heart of our city and 

plan ahead for climate change is 

a once in a lifetime opportunity. 

“Created for community by 

community, it is a beautiful 

space for all ages and abilities to

Teachers run to raise funds for sick mum 

• By Jessie Curran 

TWO TEACHERS raised more 

than $1000 a day for each day 

they pounded the pavement. 

Daniel Kahura and Thomas 

Tennent ran 21km before work 

for 21 days to support Kahura’s 

sister, Kylie Kahura, who has 

stage 4B Hodgkin lymphoma. 

Kahura and Tennent both 

attended and now teach at St 

Thomas of Canterbury College. 

Kylie, 35, a mother of four, 

received her diagnosis in 2022. 

Despite the all-clear after 

chemotherapy, her cancer 

returned with increased 

aggression late last year. 

“Now it’s just a waiting game,” 

said Kylie, who awaits further 

scans after she completed 

another round of chemotherapy, 

blood transfusions, and a stem 

cell transplant. 

She is now enjoying spending 

time with her family. 

Kylie said she was “truly 

blown away” by the support 

from the pair and wider 

community. 

“I am just so grateful and 

blessed,” she said. 

Tennent, 33, proposed the 

idea to Kahura after reading 

a book by ultra-runner Ned 

Brockmann. 

“I was not an ultra-runner 

by any means, but I wanted to 

do something to make other 

people’s lives better,” he said. 

Supported by family, friends, 

FINISHED: Daniel Tennent, right, and Daniel Kahura, back left, meet Kylie Kahura and her 

children PepaMo’ale, Eli Mo’ale, and Faith Mo’ale at the finish line of the final stint. 

and the wider community, the 

pair trained for eight weeks 

before their first run on April 1. 

In the two months that 

followed, the high-school friends 

raised $22,000 through private 

donations and their Givealittle 

page. 

Kahura, 30, said he was 

thankful for the support and 

generosity of the community. 

“I feel super blessed for the 

people who have shown their 

love and donated to help support 

my family.” 

But going into the running 

challenge, the pair were not 

without their doubts. 

“I knew doing them back-toback 

was going to be tough,” 

said Kahura, who feared 

he would fail the challenge 

after he experienced serious 

achilles tendon and lower back 

problems. 

Tennent, who gave up many 

hours of sleep and time with 

family, even experienced a 

severe case of rhabdo one week 

after finishing the last run. 

Rhabdo is when muscle breaks 

down, releasing contents into 

the bloodstream that can be life 

threatening if left untreated. 

“We made sacrifices and went 

through hard times to help 

someone who’s going through 

harder times than us,” said 

Tennent. He has now recovered. 

Craig Watson, head of 

supportive care for the Cancer 

Society Canterbury West Coast 

and Otago Southland, said the 

financial burden on families 

after diagnosis is significant. 

“I know of people refusing 

treatment because they have had 

to choose between travelling to 

treatment, or putting food on 

the table for their families,” said 

Watson. 

He said community support 

was vital to get families through 

a diagnosis. 

Kahura and Tennent said 

they were thankful they had 

experienced the of power of 

people. 

“It’s important to celebrate the 

small wins,” said Kahura.
