Trailblazing athlete 

leaves Olympic legacy 

MARISE Chamberlain, the only 

New Zealand woman to have won an 

Olympic track medal, has died aged 

88. 

Chamberlain claimed bronze in the 

800m at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics 

and set a world record in the 440 

yards. She also won silver in the 880 

yards at the Commonwealth Games 

in Perth in 1962. 

All up she had 17 national titles. 

Born and raised in South New 

Brighton in 1935 as the second eldest 

of four children, Chamberlain showed 

her potential from a young age. 

A primary school sprint champion, 

she secured her first Canterbury title 

over 220 yards aged 15. 

She also competed for a year at the 

Crichton Cobbers club but then quit 

athletics at 16.

Time to celebrate for young graduates 

CHILDREN from schools across 

Canterbury will be graduating 

from ‘university’ over the next two 

weeks as part of a global education 

initiative to promote further 

education. 

Te Mātāpuna Mātātahi – Children’s 

University (TMMCU) is a 

programme delivered through a 

partnership between Canterbury 

and Lincoln universities, which 

aims to support young learners’ 

future aspirations to tertiary education 

and inspire them to reach 

their full potential. Four schools 

from the southern suburbs took 

part this year. 

Children sign up through their 

participating schools and are given 

a ‘Passport to Learning’, which 

they fill out with extra-curricular 

learning activities and experiences. 

Once they have completed 30 

hours in their passport, children 

are then invited 

to celebrate their 

achievement with 

family by attending 

a special 

graduation ceremony 

– similar 

to a university 

graduation – at 

the town hall. 

“Children’s 

University is child-led, which 

Jack 

Swannell 

means they get to decide their 

learning journey,” said programme 

manager Jack Swannell. 

“The programme empowers 

tamariki (children) aged seven 

to 14 to engage in a range of 

BIG DAY: Ōpāwa School pupils celebrated completing the Children’s University programme 

with a graduation ceremony at the town hall. 

exciting and innovative learning 

experiences that take place outside 

of the classroom.” 

Caroline Gray is a teacher at 

Ngutuawa School in Woolston 

and said the school’s first year 

participating in the programme 

has been a positive experience 

for pupils who feel a sense of 

accomplishment as they add to 

their Passport to Learning. 

“The need we’re seeing (among 

students) is connection, so not 

feeling as if they’re in isolation and 

knowing there are other learners 

the same age, with the same 

questions, who are excited by the 

same things,” Gray said. 

Isolation can be a challenge 

in schools, she added, but at 

TMMCU students can see a wider 

learning community which they 

can participate in if they choose a 

tertiary studies pathway. 

“It’s all about equity and making 

sure students see themselves and 

others who are like them, in this 

institution,” Gray said. 

TMMCU offers a range of 

opportunities, including access 

to 122 learning destinations 

(community organisations that 

provide learning experiences 

for pupils during holidays and 

weekends), 500-plus online 

portal activities, in-school 

experiences, and even a campus 

experience day held at UC or 

Lincoln, where children get 

to experience the university 

environment first-hand. 

The success of the programme 

is evident in its growth. In 2019, 

192 students from seven schools 

and one rūnanga participated. 

GRADUATION DAY 

57 pupils from four schools 

in the city’s south will 

graduate from Children’s 

University this year. The 

participating schools are: 

• Addington Te Kura 

Taumatua 

• Ōpāwa School 

• Spreydon School 

• Ngutuawa School 

In 2024, this has grown to more 

than 1400 students involved 

from 48 schools and two 

rūnanga, with 45 schools on the 

waiting list to join. 

The Children’s University 

works with diverse groups, 

including low socio-economic 

communities, schools with high 

Māori and Pacific populations, 

and those under-represented 

in the university environment. 

Staff engage with schools to 

understand the challenges faced 

by children and families which 

prevent participation in extracurricular 

activities. 

TMMCU is supported by the 

Rātā Foundation which helps 

the programme engage with 

priority schools, reduce barriers 

such as transport costs, and 

deliver the campus experience 

day. 

“At Rātā, we aim to support 

learning opportunities that 

help people reach their full 

potential,” said foundation chief 

executive Leighton Evans.

Rising star heading to Phoenix academy 

• By Sam Coughlan 

TALENTED midfielder Amber 

De Wit is primed to take her first 

step towards professional football 

after featuring at the FIFA U17 

World Cup. 

St Andrew’s College year 12 

student De Wit, 16, will join the 

Wellington Phoenix Football 

Academy in January – a feeder to 

New Zealand’s only female professional 

club. 

The move comes after she 

performed well at the World Cup 

in the Dominican Republic last 

month, starting against the hosts 

(a 1-1 draw) and Nigeria (a 4-1 

loss) before a torn quadricep ruled 

her out of the final match against 

Ecuador (a 4-0 loss). 

De Wit said she really wanted 

the Wellington move. 

“Six or seven girls in the 17s 

New Zealand team that are my 

teammates are there. I’ve talked to 

them about the facilities and the 

trainings. I really wanted it.” 

“I really do want to take football 

and see where it lands me, so I 

think the Phoenix was a hard 

move, but I think it’s the right 

step.” 

She will be boarding at the New 

Zealand Campus of Innovation 

and Sport and attending Queen 

Margaret College for her final year 

of high school – cutting short her 

time at St Andrew’s. 

While she didn’t score at the 

World Cup, De Wit was happy 

with her performances and said 

she loved every minute. 

“It’s such an honour to be starting 

for your country, singing the 

national anthem,” she said. 

“I thought I played alright. I just 

tried as hard as I could and I don’t 

regret anything.” 

Her favourite parts of the 

tournament were the connections 

made with other teams – swapping 

shirts with her Nigerian and 

Dominican opponents. 

“We were staying at the hotel 

with the Nigerian team, and 

we luckily got to meet them 

afterwards. 

“We had this whole trading 

thing where we’d trade shirts 

and clothes, and we had this little 

dance party,” she said. 

“They didn’t really speak much 

English, but we just danced and

had a great time. It was awesome. 

“I got to trade shirts with one of 

the Dominican girls as well. Just 

listening to their stories and how 

much of an impact this world cup 

has made for their country was so 

cool. Baseball is their main sport 

but now there’s so many girls playing 

football.” 

De Wit is still injured but hopes 

to be fit enough to play a part 

for Canterbury United Pride in 

their remaining two games in the 

women’s National League. 

COLLECTION: Amber De Wit’s souvenirs from the World Cup

‘I wanted so much 

to be able to 

stand on that dais’ 

•From page 1 

Three weeks before Chamberlain’s 18th 

birthday, a work colleague started training 

at Technical Athletic Club. 

“I thought: ‘Well, if she is going to run, 

then I am too’,” Chamberlain told Steve 

Landells from Athletics New Zealand. 

On her first day of training at the track 

on Ensors Rd, she met Latvian-born Valdy 

Briedis, her coach and mentor. 

Briedis told the New Zealand Olympic 

Committee “at a time when athletes were 

expected to pay their way everywhere, 

Chamberlain went to a masseur three 

times a week and paid for that, which took 

a big chunk out of her typist’s pay.” 

Chamberlain said she was incredibly 

nervous during the Tokyo games. 

“Once the heats began I felt a bit 

better. I finished second, just behind the 

Frenchwoman, Dupureur, and we qualified 

easily. 

“In the semi-final, I ran very well. Dr 

Grigor, our team doctor, let me ring Valdy 

back in Christchurch each night as a 

reward for running so well. 

“Talking to Valdy was reassuring. But 

even so, I had a terrible night before the 

final. I must have run that race 20 times in 

my head. I wouldn’t be surprised if I never 

had a moment of sleep all night. 

“I felt really bad in the warm-up before 

the final. I’d never felt so weak. The more 

people said ‘good luck’ the weaker I felt. 

“On the starting line I was in lane seven 

between the two Brits, Ann Packer and 

Anne Smith. All their supporters were just 

across the track cheering for them. It was 

very intimidating,” she said. 

“When the race began I found myself 

near the back and then the German, 

Antje Gleichfeld, elbowed me really hard. 

I almost fell off the track and would have 

but for a pair of hands behind me catching 

me and pushing me back.

YEAR 8 pupils from Te Waka Unua 

School took part in the Puharakekenui 

Styx Freshwater Improvement Fund 

Project to better understand the outdoors, 

biodiversity and the environment. 

Forty-eight pupils, teachers and parents, 

and two members of Ferrymead Rotary 

enjoyed the day’s activities at the Styx, 

with transport funded by Ferrymead 

Rotary. 

Styx Living Laboratory Trust education 

programme manager Courtney Reid 

organised the day’s activities. 

The pupils were divided into four groups 

to view and participate in different activities, 

under the guidance of Māori elders. 

It included viewing and calculating the 

water quality of the Styx River catchment, 

observing medicinal native plants, learning 

about predator control, and Māori arts 

and crafts. 

The favourite activity was flax weaving, 

and all went home with a putiputi, a flower 

woven from flax.

“I think it was Ann Packer. I didn’t know 

Gleichfeld was known for those sorts of 

tactics. I’d never been in that sort of race 

before. 

“I could never describe how happy I felt 

afterwards. I wanted so much to be able to 

stand on that dais at an Olympics. 

“When I stepped up, I thought about all 

those years of sweat and grime and dirt, 

the terrible conditions, my parents holding 

meals for me for all those years, all the help 

I’d got from so many people . . . I burst 

into tears and cried and cried.” 

Chamberlain’s 800m national record on 

a grass track in 1962 stood for 34 years. 

She was inducted into the New Zealand 

Sports Hall of Fame in 1995 and was made 

a Member of the New Zealand Order of 

Merit eight years later.

• Peel and finely slice the 

garlic, then stir into the onions. 

Continue cooking, then 

introduce the tomato purée, stir 

well and leave for 5 minutes, then 

roughly chop the tomatoes and 

add to the onions. 

• Pour in the water, then season 

generously with salt and black 

pepper, partially cover with a 

lid and leave to simmer for 15 

minutes or so. 

• Make the pork cakes: finely 

slice the spring onions into tiny 

rounds, discarding the roots and 

the darkest tips of the leaves. 

Warm the oil in a shallow pan, 

then add the onions and cook for 

a few minutes until soft, stirring 

regularly. 

• Add the sausage meat to the 

minced pork to the bowl, the 

chilli paste, chopped parsley and 

breadcrumbs, season, stir in the 

softened spring onions, then mix 

thoroughly. This is done most 

easily with your hands. 

• Break off lumps of the 

mixture, about 45-50g in weight, 

and shape them into rough balls 

and set them aside on a tray. You 

should have about 20. 

• Preheat the oven to 200C. 

• Warm a little more oil in 

the pan, then add some of the 

meatballs, letting them fry until 

golden on the underside before 

turning them over. 

• Transfer the tomato sauce to 

a baking dish. Let the other side 

of the meatballs colour to a nice 

golden brown, then place them 

in the sauce, and continue with 

the remaining cakes. 

• Bake for about 20 minutes 

until the cakes are cooked 

through. 

Chilled spicy cucumber 

and tomato salad 

Refreshing, spicy, salty and 

crisp, this is one of those salads 

for a laid-back lunch on a 

scorching afternoon. 

Ingredients 

Serves 3-4. Ready in 30 minutes 

1 red chilli, medium-hot 

1 large pepper, red or orange 

half a large cucumber 

100g mangetout or sweet peas 

200g cherry tomatoes 

coriander, a small bunch 

6 sprigs mint 

70g cashews, salted and roasted 

For the dressing: 

3tbsp lime juice 

3tbsp fish sauce 

1tsp caster sugar 

2tsp chilli sauce 

Method 

• Slice the chilli in half 

lengthways, remove the seeds, 

then cut into very fine shreds 

and put into a mixing bowl. 

• Halve the pepper, pull out the 

core and seeds, then shred into 

long, fine strips. Add this to the 

chillies, then peel the cucumber, 

cut in half lengthways and 

remove the core with a teaspoon. 

Cut into thin slices and mix with 

the pepper and chilli. 

• Cut the mangetout into 

thin shreds, halve the cherry 

tomatoes and add both to the 

peppers. 

• Remove the coriander and 

mint leaves from their stems, 

then tear or roughly chop and 

scatter in the salad. 

• Make the dressing: put the 

lime juice, fish sauce and sugar 

in a small bowl or jam jar and 

stir or shake until the sugar has 

dissolved. Stir in the chilli sauce. 

• In a dry, shallow pan, toast 

the cashews, just enough to 

warm them. Dress the salad with 

the lime and fish sauce tossing 

gently to coat, then transfer to a 

large serving plate. 

• Scatter the toasted nuts over 

the salad and serve.
