Removal truck 2 metres from disaster 

One very close call 

• By Dylan Smits 

THE DRIVER of this truck had 

a miraculous escape when his 

vehicle came within two metres of 

plummeting off Clifton Hill. 

The truck crashed through 

a fence as it was descending 

Galilee Lane, before coming to a 

much-needed stop on a private 

driveway – saved by a parked 

campervan it struck. Otherwise it 

could have careered over the edge 

and down 200m to the bottom, 

potentially striking houses on the 

way down. 

The householder who owned 

the campervan told Bay Harbour 

News “it could have been a lot 

worse”. 

Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade 

chief fire officer Daryl Sayer said 

the driver was “extremely lucky”. 

The brigade attended the incident. 

“It was pretty concerning. If it 

hadn’t come to a stop as it did, it 

would have fallen much further.” 

The Moving Company Ltd 

would not talk to Bay Harbour 

News yesterday about the incident, 

or say how its driver was. He was 

taken to hospital with moderate 

injuries. Police are investigating. 

The fire brigade posted the 

photos of the incident to its 

Facebook page, blurring out the 

name of the transport company. 

“It was pretty 

concerning. If it hadn’t 

come to a stop as 

it did, it would have 

fallen much further.”

Golden girl making the most 

• By Sam Coughlan 

DOUBLE OLYMPIC gold 

medallist Ellesse Andrews is 

back in Mt Pleasant visiting her 

parents and looking forward to 

an extended period of rest and 

relaxation. 

Andrews, 24, hasn’t lived 

in Christchurch since she was 

six, when the family moved to 

Wanaka. 

She has been based in 

Cambridge since she was 16, after 

first moving when father Jon 

Andrews got a coaching job with 

Cycling NZ. 

After finishing school, Andrews 

joined Cycling NZ’s Cambridgebased 

elite programme full-time. 

She won gold in the keirin and 

individual sprint at Paris last 

month, to go with a silver medal 

in the team sprint. 

But after spending time 

travelling around Europe after 

the Olympics, first with partner 

Josh Toa, a rowing coach at 

Cambridge High School, and later 

with friends, Andrews is excited 

to be back in New Zealand. 

“I’m really looking forward to 

being down. I feel like when I’m 

home or where my family is, I can 

relax,” she said. 

“The thing with the holiday, 

and afterwards, is that I was 

moving around all over the show 

VICTORY: Ellesse Andrews 

crosses the finish line to 

win gold in the keirin. She 

finished the Paris Olympics 

with two golds and a silver 

medal. PHOTOS: SXPIX 

and I was still travelling. I haven’t 

had many days where I’ve just 

been able to sit down and really 

not do much at all.” 

She’s spending three weeks in 

the South Island, staying with 

her parents in Mt Pleasant and 

is planning to visit friends in 

Wanaka. 

“I really like to escape from the 

chaos of everything, make the 

most of my time and be able to 

get outside and do things that I 

want to do that I don’t normally 

get to do,” she said. 

“With cycling, we don’t really 

want to get out there and be 

walking a million miles and 

always travelling, so I think now’s 

the time where I can really make 

the most of how beautiful our 

little region and our country is.” 

Andrews isn’t going to be 

back into her high-performance 

training until October in 

preparation for her next event 

– the UCI Track Champions 

League in Europe, which spans 

three weekends, starting on 

November 23.

of time away from the track 

“I do really enjoy being in 

routine,” she said. 

“So I am looking forward to 

being back, but also staying in the 

present moment now and enjoying 

this time while I have it.” 

It’s impossible to be completely 

disconnected from cycling – her 

father Jon doubles as her coach, a 

role he’s filled since last September 

when Cycling NZ asked him to 

be a part of its high-performance 

programme. 

But Andrews said there’s no 

problem keeping their professional 

and personal lives separate. 

“Because we don’t live together, 

we can make that time where we 

spend time together as a father 

and daughter quite deliberate and 

then the professional time is quite 

deliberate as well.” 

They try to keep a ‘no cycling 

talk’ rule when they’re together as 

family. 

“It’s easy to let all of that slip in, 

like if we were at a family dinner 

or something, but I think we are 

conscious of that. I wouldn’t want 

either of us to be talking about 

work all the time, and it’s nice to 

still be able to connect to the family 

outside that,” Andrews said. 

“And then on the other side of 

things, no family talk at work as 

well.” 

Said Jon: “Ellesse is very strict on

winning gold in the sprint.

that, no hugs at work.” 

Outside cycling, Andrews is 

studying part-time towards a 

Bachelor of Communications at 

Waikato University, majoring in 

public relations. 

“That’s quite fun to do on the 

side,” she said. 

“I actually really enjoy studying, 

and I’ve done none of it this year 

because I had a concussion at 

the start of the year and then the 

games the second half of the year. 

So I’ll be looking to do summer 

school.” 

While some cyclists love 

coaching, Andrews has never 

caught that bug – instead wanting 

to get into management. 

“That’s one of the potential 

pathways for the future. 

“And one of the reasons why I 

did communications and PR was, 

I guess, to gain an understanding 

of some of those skills that are 

required for those roles. 

“I would enjoy more 

management and guidance rather 

than coaching or prescribing a 

programme.”

Love your Lawn 

Before sowing remove any unwanted 

weeds and grass. Add a 25-30mm 

layer of lawn fertiliser to the area to 

provide lawn seed with a base of essential 

nutrients and fertiliser. Sow the seed on 

a fine day, and rake gently to cover the 

seed and water lightly. Seed spreaders 

are a great option for perfect seed 

distribution 

Refresh your lawn to a lush, deep 

green colour by applying liquid 

lawn fertiliser. Helps to green up 

your lawn in as little as three days, 

and essential nutrients for up to 

12 weeks of feeding 

Use a selective weed killer to 

ensure you can enjoy the feeling 

of grass between your toes this 

summer with a prickle free lawn 

Top-up your tired lawn with 

essential nutrients for a thick, 

healthy lawn with less weeds. Apply 

a slow release fertiliser before laying 

lawn seed, or directly after seeding 

to encourage lush, thick, green 

growth. Once established, fertilise 

your lawn in spring and autumn

Grid - The life and times of First World War 

fighter ace Keith Caldwell by Adam Claasen 

This gripping biography of Air Commodore Keith 

‘Grid’ Caldwell CBE, MC, DFC & bar, Croix de Guerre, 

tells the story of his remarkable exploits during the 

First World War. Flying single-seat fighters against 

best of the German air force, including the Red 

Baron’s Flying Circus and airmen such as Werner 

Voss, Caldwell accumulated 26 victories in aerial 

combat. Over his illustrious career he flew with 

numerous ‘stars’ of the British air service, including 

Albert Ball, Billy Bishop and Mick Mannock. In the 

last year of the war, aged only 22, he was given 

command of the new 74 Squadron. Under his 

leadership the ‘Tigers’ become one of the war’s most 

feared and revered units. Grid details Caldwell’s 

journey from early flight training in Auckland to 

his death-defying sorties over enemy lines on the 

Western Front. It also details his pivotal role in 

reinvigorating interest in the airmen of WWI during 

the 1960s and 1970s. Caldwell was a hero, a leader, 

and a man of great courage by any measure. 

The Hidden Girl 

by Lucinda Riley & Harry Whittaker 

PRE ORDER NOW 

RELEASED oN 

10TH SEPTember 

A breathtaking new story from the international 

#1 bestselling author of the Seven Sisters series. 

Sweeping across two generations, from the 

ghettos of Europe during the Second World War 

to the enclaves of New York’s Fifth Avenue, The 

Hidden Girl traces the life of Leah Thompson, who 

rises from humble beginnings in rural Yorkshire to 

take the modelling world by storm. But her fateful 

association with the Delancey family dominates 

her life. The secrets they hide from one another 

start to explode into nightmares of thwarted 

ambition, forbidden love, revenge and murder ... 

culminating in a fatal, forgotten prophecy from 

the past. This title was previously published as 

Hidden Beauty by Lucinda Edmonds, and has 

been rewritten and reimagined by her son, Harry 

Whittaker, for Lucinda Riley fans the world over.

of James Parmeter and George 

Blundell (from Christ Church, 

Oxford) and Adrian Lowe 

and Kimberley Wood (from 

Christchurch). 

More than 70 people attended 

the concert on August 24, raising 

$2658 for the old school restoration. 

The schoolhouse is a rare example 

of a 19th-century building 

within a Ngāi Tahu settlement. 

Built in the 1870s, it was part 

of a network of village primary 

schools established by the Native 

School Department to provide education 

for children in Ngāi Tahu 

communities. 

The restoration has involved significant 

repairs, seismic strengthening, 

and moving the building 

to a less erosion-prone site on the 

same section. 

Said Te Rūnanga o Ngāti 

Wheke kaumātua Donald Couch: 

“Our old schoolhouse has served 

us for 150 years, and with this 

restoration, it will serve us and 

the community for another 150 

years.” 

Attending the concert were 

Banks Peninsula MP Vanessa 

Weenink, former Port Hills MP 

Ruth Dyson, and the Anglican 

Bishop of Christchurch, Dr Peter 

Carrell. HMNZS Canterbury 

Commander Bronwyn Heslop 

and 12 of her crew and Reserve 

Forces director Clive Holmes 

also went along. The concert was 

organised by Nuk and Christine 

Kurako, Dr Te Maire Tau, Gabrielle 

Huria and Haydn Rawstron. 

Said Rawstron: “The 

Canterbury Association 

endowment at Christ Church, 

Oxford, pays for the Oxfords 

Project and in turn produces this 

vocal quartet.” 

He paid tribute to the late Mary 

Weston, whose patronage had 

paid for project visits. 

CONCERT: The Canterbury Association Oxfords Project vocal quartet performed at the afternoon 

fundraiser for the restoration of the Rapaki schoolhouse. More than 70 people attended the event, 

part organised by Nuk Kurako (right).

4000km fundraiser finishes today 

• By Isabella Adams 

RENÉ HEYDE began cycling 

across Australia four weeks ago. 

Today the Christchurch 

70-year-old is scheduled to finish 

– and he’s ready to get back to 

doing all of the little things you 

take for granted. 

Heyde took on the challenge 

of cycling almost 4000km from 

Perth to Geelong to fundraise for 

charity Cholmondeley Children’s 

Centre, near Governors Bay. 

He spent parts of his childhood 

at the children’s home, and 

wanted to do something to pay 

them back. 

He began his journey in Perth 

on August 1, and is expected 

to arrive in Geelong, near Melbourne, 

today. 

As of Tuesday, he has raised 

$17,900 for Cholmondeley 

through a Givealittle page. 

Heyde said the donations have 

motivated him during his ride. 

“I get an email from each 

donation, so when I start I 

always check my emails and I 

reply to every one of them on the 

Givealittle page. 

“That is a hell of a lot of motivation 

for me, just to see that I’ve 

got support from people and I’m 

not on this journey on my own.” 

Heyde has averaged 109km a 

day, and tries to cycle six to seven 

hours. 

MAN ON A MISSION: René Heyde has averaged 109km a day, cycling across Australia to raise money for Cholmondeley. 

He competed in track cycling 

in the ‘70s, most significantly 

winning bronze in the team 

pursuit at the 1974 Christchurch 

Commonwealth Games. 

Heyde said it has been difficult 

taking the competitiveness out 

of him when he’s on the bike, but 

he tries to take 10-minute breaks 

every few hours to have a snack 

and a walk around. 

“I’m a man on a mission really, 

I’m at the end of it now but when 

you start off you’ve got all those 

thousands of kilometres . . . you 

just want to keep your wheels 

turning and get them behind 

you.” 

The time he gets under way 

each day depends on the wind, 

a factor he said has made his 

journey a bit more difficult. 

“We’ve had horrendous gale 

force winds that did quite a lot of 

damage. 

Victorians have said they’ve 

never known winds like it.” 

As he gets closer to the finish 

line, Heyde can’t believe he’s 

almost made it. 

“When I look back at when 

I started, it’s just so many 

kilometres away and I look at 

a map and look back at those 

towns I think, bloody hell, I’ve 

manpowered my way across this 

bloody big country. I find that 

awesome.” 

Heyde is looking forward to 

getting back to his normal life. 

“I’m looking forward to 

sleeping in a bed and being able 

to stretch my legs out, instead 

of being in a sleeping bag all the 

time. 

“I’ve been eating freeze-dried 

meals most nights, and just 

muesli every morning with a 

bit of fruit. So even a bit of toast 

would be good. I haven’t had that 

for a month. Just simple little 

things that you’re used to.”

NEWS 


Helping dogs to find their fur-ever home 

GIVING LOVING pooches 

a second chance at life is the 

goal for staff at the city council 

animal shelter. 

So far this year, the shelter’s 

animal management team has 

rehomed 45 dogs. 

Greyhounds, bull breeds, 

beardies and pugs are just the 

beginning when it comes to the 

321 dogs that have spent time at 

the shelter this year. 

Rosco, an 11-month-old staffy 

cross, spent 26 days at the shelter 

before he was adopted into his 

new family in August. 

New owner Kylie said Rosco is 

just what was missing from her 

home after recently losing their 

older dog. 

“Putting my old boy to sleep 

was the hardest thing I have ever 

had to do,” she said. 

HOME: Rosco, an 11-monthold 

staffy cross, spent 26 days 

at the shelter before he was 

adopted into his new family. 

“But Rosco is currently helping 

that healing process just with his 

extra cuddles. I am grateful we 

found him and was able to give 

him the home he deserves.” 

Huntaway cross Maya became 

the fifth member of one lucky 

family after she was adopted by 

new owners Hannah and Brad 

earlier this year. 

“We are all enjoying her 

company so much and she fits 

perfectly into our family,” Hannah 

said. 

“Maya is happy, energetic, very 

loving and healthy. We adore her, 

especially the two children.” 

Maya’s new routine sees her 

walking with the kids to school, 

spending some time playing and 

snoozing in the afternoon before 

it’s time to collect the kids at the 

end of the school day. 

Council animal services 

manager Lionel Bridger said the 

animal management team go 

above and beyond to get as many 

dogs as possible adopted into 

new loving homes. 

“Whether they’re adopted 

directly from the shelter, or if 

they need a little extra help from 

rescues like Dog Watch and Bull 

Breed Rescue, we want to get 

these pups rehomed and we want 

to get it right,” Bridger said. 

The animal shelter is at capacity 

for the number of dogs up 

for adoption and are desperately 

looking to rehome those they 

currently have. 

If you’re after a new pooch, 

please get in touch with the shelter 

to help find these good boys 

and girls new, loving homes. 

Dogs available for adoption 

are posted on the city council’s 

Facebook page. 

• You can contact the 

shelter on 941-7048 or visit 

at 10 Metro Pl, Bromley 

CARING: The city council 

animal shelter has rehomed 

45 dogs this year, including 

huntaway cross Maya, who 

has found her forever family.

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 

Completed Sumner Rd worth the wait 

In the second and final 

part of the series, JC Betts 

details the long-awaited 

construction of the 

Sumner Rd, the crucial 

link between port and 

plains 

“I HEARD A rush upstairs 

and breathless shouting – ‘All 

three ships are coming in! They 

will be in in an hour!’ You 

can imagine how quickly we 

huddled on clothes and tore off 

on the road over the Port Hills 

to Lyttelton. We did that walk 

of four miles in record time,” 

wrote Katharine MacInnes in 

Woman with the Iceberg Eyes: 

Oriana F Wilson. 

The day was April 15, 1904, 

the writer quoted was Oriana 

Wilson, who had been staying 

on Scarborough Hill in Matuku 

Takotako Sumner, awaiting the 

return from Antarctica of the 

Discovery expedition and her 

husband Dr Edward Wilson. 

In 1904, Evans Pass Rd 

followed the same steep route 

as it does today. Things were 

different on the Ōhinehou 

Lyttelton side – a tight and 

steep zig-zag led down to a 

comparatively flat but winding 

road skirting the harbour. 

In a book published to 

celebrate Canterbury’s 50th 

anniversary in 1900, CC Bowen 

suggested building the road 

along the “trotting gradient”(1 

in 20) route originally surveyed 

in 1849 – the benchmarks were 

still visible on the hillside. 

Editorials and correspondence 

in the local newspapers 

enthusiastically supported the 

idea, but no progress was made 

until 1913, when the Canterbury 

Automobile Association and 

the Lyttelton Borough Council 

The Canterbury Mounted Regiment descending the Evans 

Pass zigzag in September 1914, on its way to Lyttelton before 

embarking for the European Front. PHOTO: Weekly Press 

CPL – From Gordon Ogilvie’s The Port Hills of Christchurch, 

Reed, Wellington, 1978 

joined forces to raise funds. 

It was noted that if the rail 

tunnel were blocked, the 

road was the only route in an 

emergency. Another factor 

was the extortionate charges 

the railways demanded for 

transporting goods through the 

tunnel. 

Luckily, the Minister of Public 

Works J Fraser and local MP 

James McCombs (husband 

of New Zealand’s first female 

MP, Elizabeth McCombs) were 

supportive and the government 

supplied about half the funding. 

The rest was contributed 

by the Christchurch City 

Council, Lyttelton, Sumner 

and Woolston Borough 

Councils and the Automobile 

Association.

Quay Complex, 22 December 1966. PHOTO: Te Ūaka 

Lyttelton Museum ref 14844.1 www.teuaka.org.nz/onlinecollection/1135755 

Seventy men started work in 

1914, although some prospective 

labourers took one look at the 

worksite and went straight back 

to town. 

Whenever blasting was 

being done, the existing road 

was closed to avoid the danger 

of rocks falling on the traffic 

below. 

The Lyttelton Gaol’s hard 

labour gang contributed to the 

work, as they had done with the 

earlier road. 

The Public Works Department 

did not consider the road’s 

construction to be urgent: “a 

start had been made on it solely 

for the purpose of relieving the 

unemployment situation”. (The 

Star, May 30, 1921). 

Unemployed married men 

were put to work on the Sumner 

side, where the 6-to-1 gradient 

was improved to 12-to-1. 

In 1920, a “little industrial 

upheaval” was reported in the 

Lyttelton Times “due to the 

refusal of white labourers to 

work with Hindus”. 

The Indians were redeployed, 

but criticism came from Ben 

C Pratt on July 6, under the 

heading ‘Brotherhood of Man’. 

“The moral is simply this, 

that we English are arrant, 

hypocritical humbugs.” 

Finally, on August 21, 1929, 

The Press reported that Lyttelton 

Borough Council staff were 

tar sealing the last section of 

Sumner Rd. 

Once it was in use, the old 

route beside the harbour became 

known as the Dump Rd 

as the Lyttelton rubbish dump 

was located in the gully behind 

Gollans Bay. 

The zig-zag was gradually 

quarried away in the 1950s and 

60s to construct Cashin Quay, 

the new container port. 

The 1964 road tunnel took 

the pressure off Evans Pass, but 

oversize and dangerous loads 

still had to use it. 

After the 2010-2011 

earthquakes, the road was 

closed for five years and all 

traffic was forced to use Gebbies 

or Dyers Pass roads. 

It was worth the wait. The 

reopened road is wider and 

smoother, rockfall danger has 

been mitigated and waterways 

channelled, but it is still steep 

on the Sumner side. 

On the other hand, if you 

need to test drive a car, it’s the 

route every local person takes.

Cupra Born the EV world’s wild child 

VIBRANCY, FLAIR, and 

passion are deeply embedded 

into the DNA of the Spanish 

people, and its only automotive 

manufacturer, the Volkswagenowned 

Seat, have created an 

electric car that is an automotive 

expression of those qualities. 

It’s the small to mid-size Cupra 

Born, out of Seat’s performance 

division and sits on Volkswagen’s 

impressive MEB platform. 

This compact Spanish 

dynamo shares this platform 

with the Skoda Enyaq and 

Volkswagen ID.4 and its smaller 

sibling the ID.3. 

Of the three models spawned 

from the MEB platform, the 

Enyaq has been the strongest 

seller here, but did have the 

benefit of being the first of this 

trio to hit our market. 

The Cupra Born is the wild 

child of the Seat family and 

putting the brand on the map 

here after years of living in the 

shadow of its higher profile 

Volkswagen and Skoda siblings. 

A fun, affordable, quality 

European performance hatch 

brimming with personality, 

the $74,990 Cupra Born EV is a 

genuine X-factor vehicle, without 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

the usual mega price tag. It also 

looks the part with LED daytime 

running lights with unique 

signature, full LED headlights, 

and 19-inch Copper Typhoon 

alloy wheels and an air intake 

with copper frame. 

Completing the picture are 

aerodynamic side sills, floating 

C-pillar and copper Cupra 

badging. All this made the test 

vehicle a bit of a people magnet 

when it was parked up, with 

most knowingly nodding their 

approval. 

Like the Volkswagen ID.4 we 

previously road tested, the Cupra 

Born first broke cover in 2022. 

However, the handbrake was 

applied to its arrival here as the 

world, including the automotive 

one, slowly emerged from the 

Covid pandemic. 

This included grappling with 

supply chain issues that were 

also an anchor on car industry 

efforts to move up a gear and 

meet full order books during the 

pandemic. When people couldn’t 

travel, many detoured their 

travel budget into purchasing a 

new car. 

Like its cousins the ID.4 and 

Enyaq, the Cupra Born stays the 

EV distance more convincingly 

than several of its peers, with 

an achievable real world electric 

range of 510km. 

The test car had heaps of heft 

from a beefy 77kWh battery 

and an electric motor producing 

150kW of power and 310Nm 

of torque. But the Cupra has 

E-Boost – a performance trick 

that its ID.4 and Enyaq siblings 

miss out on. This maximises 

acceleration and enhances the 

vehicle’s all-round performance. 

The vehicle’s standard battery 

is good for a healthy 150kW, but 

with E-Boost standard on Born 

models sold here, that figure 

surges to 170kW, enough to 

propel the car from 0-100 km/h 

in a snappy 6.6 seconds. E-Boost 

works its magic for a maximum 

of 30 seconds to protect the 

battery, but is accessible at any 

time, depending on the charge 

state of the battery and its 

temperature. 

There’s a genuine performance 

edge to the Born with its rapid 

acceleration both off the mark, 

and once on the move, and boy 

does it move! 

With an undeniable energy 

and urgency about this electric 

power train, it’s one that 

performance car enthusiast 

drivers are Born to love. 

Hardly surprising this vehicle 

is quickly building a reputation 

as one of the most drivable 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 9; Handling 8; Build Quality 

8; Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 7; Value for 

money: 7; Safety – Five Star ANCAP rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 8.5 

compact EVs on the market. 

All this exhilaration is 

delivered while cocooning the 

driver and passengers in silence, 

apart from the sensation the car 

is covering a lot of ground in a 

very short time. 

A single-speed automatic 

handles all this performance 

with ease and efficiency, 

ensuring the EV system brings 

its ‘A’ game to whatever driving 

scenario you find yourself in, 

whether planned or unexpected. 

The cabin is smaller than both 

the ID.4 and Enyaq, with this 

pair a better choice if load and 

people-carrying capacity are 

important. 

I didn’t like the chunky 

‘A’ pillar with a quarter-light 

window which limited driver 

forward visibility in the test 

vehicle. 

More likeable though were 

the sports front seats, floating 

touchscreen, multi-colour 

ambient lighting, dual-zone 

climate control air conditioning 

and split folding rear seats with 

ski hatch. 

Keeping you connected is 

a 12-inch colour touchscreen 

including Bluetooth, 2 USB-C 

ports and integrated voice 

control wireless phone charger. 

The Born is fully kitted out 

with the full suite of safety 

measures including front assist 

with predictive pedestrian and 

cyclist protection. Side assist 

with rear traffic alert warns the 

driver of collisions with other 

vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians 

and static obstacles. These 

are just a snippet of the test 

car’s safety package that is too 

comprehensive to list. 

Having the high-voltage 

battery located in the floor 

between the axles provides the 

almost perfect low centre of 

gravity, for optimum agility 

and balance that underpins the 

Born’s next-level road holding. 

The sports suspension has five 

different drive modes that can 

be tailored to the type of driving 

you’re planning 

Grip and stability through 

even the tightest corners 

is masterfully tenacious 

and among the best I have 

experienced in an EV. 

The trade-off is low speed 

ride comfort that isn’t that well 

cushioned, and suspension 

noise, while not overbearing, still 

makes it presence heard. Yes, it 

can be annoying at times during 

in-town driving, but a it’s a 

concession I would happily make 

in exchange for the Cupra Born’s 

sublime handling.

COME ALONG TO 

THE MT PLEASANT 

ART EXHIBITION: 

13-14 

SEPTEMBER 

THE ART EXHIBITION IS SET TO TRANSFORM 

THE MT PLEASANT COMMUNITY CENTRE INTO 

A VIBRANT ART GALLERY FOR TWO DAYS. 

Come along to the ticketed Gala Evening opening 

on Friday 13th September 6pm - 9pm (R18), 

featuring an exciting live auction. The fun continues 

on Saturday 14th September from 9am - 3pm, with 

a gold coin donation for entry. Bring the family 

down on Saturday to enjoy silent auctions, raffles, 

a BBQ, children’s art display and awesome musical 

performances by the talented students from Mt 

Pleasant School. 

This year, we proudly present a diverse group of 

over 40 talented artists, including 12 new additions 

exhibiting more than 500 pieces for sale. The pieces 

on sale will include artwork, jewellery and sculpture 

in what promises to be an entertaining event for the 

whole community. The Mt Pleasant Art Exhibition is 

the main fundraiser for Mt Pleasant School and all 

profits will go towards improving their play spaces. 

FEATURED ARTIST: MAX BROWN | BIOGRAPHY 

“My work is about a memory, a time, a 

place, a thing. It becomes transcripted 

into a detail with a movement or 

a gesture, these markings hold a 

relevance to me, to a journey that I am 

on with the places to visit and emotions 

that are felt.” 

Max is a 28 year old artist currently residing in 

his hometown of Christchurch, New Zealand. 

Having studied in Wellington and completing his 

Bachelors in Design Innovation, he set out to be 

an Artist in all fields. Industrial design has given 

him the ability to create between disciplines. 

In 2015, himself and a group of peers founded the 

Artist Residents which continues to be a driving 

factor behind all work. In 2021 Max opened Xgaleri 

alongside his Mother and continues to paint there, 

learning and growing as an artist. 

After years of creating, this theme of 

documentation has drifted into nature, something 

Max considers to be one of the most freeing 

aspects of being. He likes to take this and breathe 

a natural existence into his work. 

Maps, thoughts, feelings and colour exercised 

by texture and form. Timestamps of a moment 

fleeting, once here now gone. Max’s work is soft 

yet hard, refined yet raw, opposites attract and 

find themselves playing roles of expression and 

creativity in his paintings. 

Mostly abstract and without definable subject 

matter, Max embodies an emotional translation 

of concept and design to deliver a truly unique 

and brilliant understanding of the world around 

him. You could think of it as a visual diary, always 

recycling past feelings into new and inspiring 

ideas. Max believes in the everyday artist and in 

any aspect of life one can encapsulate that. 

“There are times spent painting in the rain and 

works developed sitting in a vast green field, all 

are me and I hope something reflects in you. I’m in 

love with nature and the ability to express myself, 

I leave it all out in my medium. Here you will find 

my workings alongside the stories they tell, enjoy.” 

Thank you for inviting me to be the guest artist for this 

exhibition. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou.

The support of our PTA lead Art Exhibition Fundraiser plays a vital role in ensuring 

our school community has the necessary resources to enrich our students’ 

learning experiences. 

The PTA’s primary objectives include fostering a strong sense of community 

and nurturing meaningful connections, while also providing resources and 

opportunities for our students. Each year the school collaborates closely with the 

PTA to put together a ‘wish-list’ that aligns with these objectives. In recent years, 

fundraising efforts have enabled us to acquire essential items such as iPads, 

musical equipment, development of the school turf and maintenance to our 

school pool. 

This year, our PTA is embracing a new fundraising journey, which includes an 

investment in our play spaces. Play is a vital ingredient in our children’s learning 

and enjoyment of school. There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that 

learning through play brings numerous benefits to students’ learning and 

development. These benefits include the development of interpersonal skills, 

student engagement, thinking skills and smooth transitions to school. 

This year the PTA has already funded the gaga ball pit, which the students have 

been making great use out of. With our school budget constraints, PTA fundraising 

proves invaluable, as it supplements the cost of the school’s upgrades. 

The proceeds from the Art Exhibition this year will go to upgrades to the junior 

school playground, which is in need of an upgrade, as well as a new wheels track 

for the students to enjoy. These are two major projects, so we anticipate that our 

fundraising efforts will require longer than just this year. However, we need to start 

somewhere and the Art Exhibition is a major financial contributor to move these 

projects forward. We have had amazing ideas from our community consultation 

so far. 

Your continued support and contributions are instrumental in bringing these 

resources to our school, enriching the educational journey of our tamariki. Without 

the support of our community, we would not be able to achieve these goals.
