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.

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.
Thomas Tennent and Daniel
Kahura 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.
The Sockburn resident is now
enjoying spending time with her
family.
She 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.
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.
Supported by family, friends,
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
3
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.

Students get insight into voyaging skills
During the last week of May, 40 of
our tauira went to Te Ana Marina,
Whakaraupō harbour (Lyttleton)
to attend the “Wayfinding for Life”
Our Level 2 Early Childhood
students focused on three
essential aspects of a child's
needs: nurturing, communication,
and clothing.
This project allowed them
to interact and play with
toddlers and young children in
a supportive and comfortable
setting. The experience offered
significant learning opportunities,
deepening their understanding of
child development and care.
This hands-on class highlights
how practical, real-world
experience can enrich students'
education and better prepare
them for future roles in childcare
and development.
programme.
The students had the privilege to sail
aboard the waka hourua (doublehulled
waka), Hinemoana. This
As part of this year's Level 1 Foods
course, students need to develop a good
understanding of hauora (health) and its
four dimensions: taha tinana (physical),
taha hinengaro (mental and emotional),
taha wairua (spiritual), and taha whanau
(family).
They then need to reflect on how these
dimensions can be affected by different
activities they participate in.
The key model of health we are examining
is Te Whare Tapa Wha. Over the past three
lessons, students have made the dough,
accurately cut out the pieces of the whare,
experience was courtesy
of Te Toki Voyaging Trust.
While on shore these
students learnt how to tie
a variety of knots, how
and why each one was
used, and identify and find
these when on board.
On board the waka, the
students were taught
how to raise and drop the
rāwhara (sails), steer with
the ‘hoe’ and tie down the
‘kotokoto’ (boom). They
were also able to explore
the ‘riu’ (hull) and the paniwi
carvings and motifs
on the ‘kāraho’ (deck),
learning the star compass,
navigation, games, poetry
and waiata.
Kāpehu Whetū (star
compass navigation) saw
our tamariki fully engaged
as they learned how to read each
cook, and then build their whare.
Students will be asked to reflect on how
their involvement influenced their hauora.
As those who have experienced the joy of
building gingerbread houses know, things
do not always go to plan, but they can
always be covered in icing!
Companies' support much appreciated
‘whare’ on the compass.
It was a sunny and calm day on the
water and everyone thoroughly
enjoyed themselves.
Hydrotherapy pool sessions

Students from our Learning Centre
are enjoying the Hydrotherapy Pool at
Matatiki once a week.
Rochelle, our learning assistant, joins
the students every session and creates
meaningful activities for them to
enjoy. This includes races using floats
and paddles, hopping the length of the
pool, and group games such as 'Ringa-Ring-a-Roses'
and 'What's the Time
Mr. Wolfie?', 'Shark and Alligator', and
'Sneaking up on Granny' also feature.
Rochelle's enthusiasm rubs off on our
students who are fully engaged and a
joy to accompany.
Thanks also go to learning assistants
Dana and Caitlin, and Ben (youth
support) who also add value to the
sessions.
Thank you to Wasteco for your continued support of Hornby
High School over the years.

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 shared his book with
pupils from Our Lady of the
Assumption School in Hoon Hay.
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
TEACHING: Alvante Harris shared his book Tama the Tui
has been down for a while with pupils from Our Lady of
the Assumption School who had plenty of questions for
the author.

book for kids, then they can learn
early and get the tools they need
to be able to open up when they
need to.”
And the idea seems to be working.
He received positive responses
from pupils who clearly
understood its meaning.
“Always tell someone when
you’re sad so then they know.
“I liked that Tama was sad and
then his dad said to talk about his
feelings and then he felt a lot more
better,” one pupil said.
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.

Cross country success for para athletes
• By Sam Coughlan
A GROUP of para athletes from
Papanui High School have seen
huge success at the New Zealand
secondary schools cross country
championships at QEII Park.
Cody Lamond, Adi Pathak
and Bronson Ditford swept the
medal places for the junior boys’
2km race in the T20 classification
while Lee West and Lachlan
Oakes placed second and third
in the senior equivalent, both on
Saturday. Josh Rae won the senior
boys T38 2km race.
The T20 classification is for
athletes with an intellectual
disability and T38 is for those
with co-ordination problems such
as cerebral palsy.
Papanui High sports coordinator
Sarah Lamb said giving
disabled athletes a platform to
shine has been a focus for the
school in recent years.
“We always enter our athletes
into the para events,” she said.
“We go to all the Canterbury
secondary school events that offer
the para events. We’re always at
those events, and sometimes we
are the only school.
“The attitude of the staff is that
just because they have a disability,
whether it be intellectual or
physical, it doesn’t mean they can’t
run or they can’t play basketball,
and that’s what I love about the
Kimi Ora unit that we have
and the events that all our para
athletes do.”
TEAM: Lee West, Cody Lamond, Toby Paterson and Oliver
King after a race at the national secondary schools cross
country competition.
The students’ success was
recognised when the regional
relay teams were selected to run
on Sunday. Of the eight chosen
to represent Canterbury in the
para relays across the junior and
senior teams, seven were Papanui
High students. Both the junior
and senior Canterbury para teams
won their relay.
And the benefits go beyond
simply sporting success.
“What these students get from
that isn’t just about the running or
whatever it is they’re competing
in, it’s all the other stuff that
they’ve learned, giving them
confidence that they’re learning
life skills,” Lamb said.
“They get that feeling of being
included as a team because often
students with disabilities don’t
get the opportunity to feel like
they are part of a team and they
are included in things that other
children their age are doing, so
that’s a massive thing for them.”
Papanui High were awarded
the most inclusive school award at
the cross country championships.
Lamb said it was down to the level
of inclusiveness promoted at the
school.
“Here at school and in daily life,
our para athletes are included in
the mainstream school as much as
possible.
“Daniel (Wordsworth, who
placed fourth in the junior boys
4km), as he was passing the para
athletes, he was giving them a
cheer, while he was running his
own race,’’ Lamb said.
“He was saying ‘come on, you
know, you’re doing really well,
keep going’ and a couple of the
para athletes came back, and they
said, ‘Daniel told us we had to go,
so we went,’ so it’s just really nice
to see that relationship.”
RACING: Lee West races in the senior boys’ para relay for
Canterbury.

Hornby restaurant offers more
choices and familiar favourites
Thousands of Christchurch families will
have fond memories of enjoying the tasty
food and friendly vibe of Valentines buffet
restaurant, which was located for many
years in the central city.
A New Zealand-wide franchise
operation, the business went through many
changes over the years, then with new
owners taking over the company six years
ago, it gained a new momentum.
A third franchise was set up in Auckland,
its Rotorua restaurant reopened, and in July
2019, Valentines Christchurch opened at a
new location – Chalmers Street, Hornby.
As company director Ron Lal explains,
Valentines has a rich history in Kiwi culture
and they wanted to retain that feeling of
nostalgia, but with some new concepts
added to the mix.
“We wanted to offer our customers a new
experience that’s up with the times, and
with a modern twist on hospitality.
“Customers have a lot more choice of
food now,” he says, “for example you can
choose your own meat, which will be
cooked individually for you. We offer a big
selection of dishes, seafood and desserts,
and of course there are the familiar
favourites that the children love, like the
chocolate fountain and an endless supply of
ice-cream.
“We want to wow the customers and
at the same time we want to create that
nostalgic Valentines feel.”
The Valentines tradition of a free meal
for a customer on their birthday has been
upgraded to a celebratory birthday treat
and, of course, with the famous birthday
song being sung by staff, too. Families are
also invited to take advantage of the school
holiday special from time to time. During
the holidays, one child under the age of
eight gets a free lunch if accompanied by a
full paying adult. (T’s & C’s apply.)
Valentines has always been seen as a
100 per cent family restaurant, a tradition
that the new Valentines team is keen to
continue, but Valentines is also a restaurant
for everyone, from families to couples,
to friends getting together to celebrate a
special occasion.
Situated in the heart of the Hornby
shopping precinct, not only is Valentines
the ideal place for people from the Hornby
community to enjoy tasty food and a warm,
friendly vibe, it also employs local staff,
who are treated well and therefore enjoy
working there and giving their customers
the best possible service.
Valentines is open seven days a week,
from 10am till late. Outside the buffet
times they also do the popular Valentines
Shareboxes, which offer a range of
amazing dishes.

Forester still an excellent all-rounder
NOW THE ELDER statesman
of the Subaru NZ family, the
passing years haven’t diminished
the appeal of the latest generation
of the iconic Forester SUV, the
perfect vehicle for active Kiwi
lifestyles.
Versatility, practicality,
advanced safety technology and
its go-anywhere AWD provides
owners with the peace-of-mind
and confidence to explore out
back and beyond.
Now almost six years old, it
still remains a hugely capable and
roomy SUV and was good enough
to win the 2018 NZ Motor Writers
Guild car of the year award. It
was a deserved winner of this
coveted title with its already much
admired symmetrical AWD.
Motoring with Bob Nettleton
Ratings out of 10: Performance 7; Handling 7; Build Quality
7; Comfort 6; Passenger and Load Space 8; Styling 6; Value
for money 8; Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating.
Overall points out of 10: 7.5
Like all vehicles, even the
Forester’s most affordable
iteration, the Sport has gone up
in price by $7k since 2020 and is
now $46,990.
The next step up the model
ladder is the $51,990 X-Sport with
its distinctive orange exterior and
cabin accents, making it the real
standout in the Forester range.
Carrying the luxury model
mantle, and with ease, is the
Premium priced at $56,990.
Hybrid options are offered from
$52,490, and cost just $1k extra in
the Premium. For this road test
we check out the price-leading
Sport.
If a long new vehicle warranty
is important to you, the Forester
comes up short with just a threeyear
unlimited warranty, leaving
it languishing behind most of its
competitors’ new vehicle stakes,
where a five-year warranty is now
the norm.
Under the bonnet is a new but
hardly ground-breaking normally
aspirated 136kW 2.5-litre motor
that continues to adopt Subaru’s
signature horizontally opposed
4-cylinder boxer engine layout.
However, the new motor offers
ample rather than an abundance
of performance. It doesn’t
take long behind the wheel to
appreciate what a smooth and
refined motor it is, especially
Established
since 1982
during open road driving.
Engine noise is well muzzled,
although it sounds thrashy when
worked hard at higher revs, and is
a motor that doesn’t really enjoy
the driver bullying it past the
5000rpm mark.
The motor drives through a
proven Lineartronic Continuously
Variable Transmission is one of
the best all round CVTs in the
mid-sized SUV class.
This Forester is the roomiest,
most versatile version yet with
impressive cabin comfort and
extensive use of quality materials,
while those getting in and out
of the vehicle will appreciate the
wide door openings. A larger
and wider cargo area add to the
vehicles appeal and load carrying
credentials.
The suspension, in unison
with the symmetrical AWD,
offers confident and reassuring
road hold on a range of different
surfaces typical in this neck of the
motoring woods.
With its balance, poise and
agility, the Forester is hard to
ignore if you are in the market
for an excellent all-round midsized
SUV that thrives in our
confronting driving conditions
and weather. The ride tends to
become a bit fidgety over high
frequency bumps, opening
the door for some unwelcome
suspension noise.
A class leading 220mm of
ground clearance means you
will be going off road in places
other SUVs would not even
contemplate. This, together with
the Forester’s X-Mode system to
manipulate the AWD, and you are
in a vehicle with genuine crosscountry
capabilities, that could
open up new adventures in out of
the way places.
