• By Jack Ward 

DELMARI The Star, January JANSE 23, Van 2025 Rensburg 

has been living and breathing 

baking for the past six months. 

And it all paid off when she 

won the Australasian baking 

industry’s prestigious LA Judge 

award, for baking apprentice of 

the The year, Star, in January Sydney. 23, 2025 

“You hope and you dream, 

but to win it is insane,” the 

22-year-old said. 

“I just didn’t want to come last. 

“You have really got to back 

yourself, and when you come up 

against the best of the best, it is 

easy to start doubting yourself, 

so you have to push yourself and 

know it is time to step up.” 

The competition, established in 

1967, recognises Australasia’s top 

bakers aged 25 and under. 

The win means Van Rensburg 

will head to Belgium next year for 

a week to train with global baking 

group Puratos Headquarters. 

The three-day competition 

tested every aspect of the 

craft, from technical skills and 

production efficiency to theory 

and creativity. 

“The judges were looking 

at your point of difference, 

creativity and how you handle 

the challenges in a one-person 

bakery, like time management 

and using machinery that is not 

common such as a tweedy mixer, 

Eberhardt and Oshikiri,” Van 

Rensburg said. 

“They (the judges) were impressed 

with how I spoke, how 

I handled myself and helping 

the other bakers if needed,” Van 

Rensberg said. 

Full Circle 

by Jenny-May Clarkson 

Outwardly successful, Jenny-May Clarkson 

(ex Silver Fern, Breakfast television host since 2020) struggled with 

Imposter Syndrome and never feeling ‘good enough’. 

Her life was further shaken by the diagnosis of bowel cancer in her 

older brother and his eventual death. 

In the lead-up, she used advice 

she received during the 2024 

NZ Association of Bakers bread 

baker of the year competition, 

where she won the young bread 

baker award and earned her spot 

in Sydney. 

“I remember Nathan Roberts 

from Bakels saying that the winner 

would have won before they 

get to the competition because 

it is all in the preparation – so I 

took that on board and gone full 

on with training.” 

Van Rensburg paid tribute to 

her New World Rolleston bakery 

manager Janine Bell for her support. 

“Janine, she has been amazing 

and has played a massive role – 

she would invite me round for 

dinner to make sure I was eating 

right – taking mentorship to 

another level.” 

MAY 



Her win last year came with 

a $15,000 research grant, which 

Van Rensburg will put towards 

studying brand management 

in the United Kingdom and 

marketing experience in the 

Netherlands. She leaves for three 

months on June 8. 

“Europe is the gold standard of 

baking, it fuels you more because 

there is always something to look 

forward to and work towards.”

An inspiring new memoir about redemption and second chances 

from the former rugby league player by Jaye Pukepuke 

A redemptive story about second chances. Jaye Pukepuke committed 15 armed 

robberies before he was caught by police and sent to prison. He tells people that 

while he spent almost six years inside, he served 16, because it took him another 

decade simply to get his life back to the starting blocks. Prison also took away 

his lifelong dream: to be a professional rugby league player in Australia’s NRL 

competition. It was years before he was permitted to leave New Zealand’s shores. 

Jaye had to choose a different path to the one he had longed for - one that would 

take him on an unexpected journey to become a warrior of a different kind.

It wasn’t until Maxine started

McHaffie realised her daughter 

had autism. 

“She needed me to interpret

continuity, consistency, peace and

In still living with her two 

children – Maxine, now 24,

McHaffie credits herself for 

having a lot of hope for the future, 

and an ability to always see 

circumstances as temporary, but 

at times she felt her efforts weren’t 

enough. 

There have been moments, she 

said, when she thought “it doesn’t

do, things are still really, really

ANTIGUA ST, from Moorhouse 

Ave to St Asaph St, will get a 

makeover ahead of the opening 

of Parakiore Recreation and 

Sport Centre. 

The upgrade will span the 

block of the state-of-the-art 

facility, which is due to open later 

this year. 

Although the upgrade has 

been in planning since 2021, 

construction is now scheduled to 

run from this month through to 

November. 

The project includes: 

• Full reconstruction of the 

road and western footpath; 

• Replacement of the temporary 

cycle lanes with permanent, 

separated cycleways in 

both directions, connecting to 

existing routes at each end; 

• Renewal and enlargement 

of the watermain to support 

increasing demand, including 

from Parakiore; 

• Completion of streetscaping 

to enhance the area 

Said city council general manager 

of city infrastructure Brent 

Smith: “We’re upgrading the road 

and water infrastructure at the 

same time because the pipes were 

due to be replaced, so it’s always 

best to align works when we can. 

“The watermain will be larger 

compared to the existing pipes, 

helping to meet increasing demand 

for water supply, including 

from Parakiore.

Chisnallwood. This was a very big and special moment 

for our school as Mr Blake is

our opening in 1967. We look 

forward to seeing Mr Blake step 

into this role to help support our 

students learning and growth!

“Likewise, the new cycleways 

will make Parakiore easily

providing a permanent and safe 

cycling connection for one of our 

busiest cycleways, Quarryman’s 

Trail, to the cycleways on St 

Asaph St (eastbound) and Tuam 

St (westbound),” Smith said. 

“We’ll be gaining some road 

space from Parakiore land on the 

west side where the new footpath 

will be constructed, and on-street 

parking will be removed from 

the east side. This also helps 

with safety by providing clearer 

sightlines from driveways.” 

On-street parking will be 

available on the west side of the 

road. 

A temporary northbound oneway 

system will be in place from 

this week until early November.

Castaway ‘buzzing’ at chance 

to 


step into showcase spotlight 

• By Kees Chalmers 

SELWYN SOUNDS openers 

Castaway could be on the verge of 

their big break after being invited 

to perform at the prestigious 

NZ On Air Showcase, which 

features four of the country’s 

most promising up-and-coming 

artists. 

Held on June 26 in Auckland, 

the showcase gives rising local 

talent the chance to perform 

original music in front of key 

industry figures, ensuring they’re 

on the radar when it comes time 

to pitch new singles. 

Castaway will be the only 

South Island act taking part 

in the event, joined by fellow 

performers Frankie Venter, The 

Boondocks, and Tusekah. 

“We’re feeling excited and 

ready to go up there and play 

some original music, show them 

what we’ve got,” said guitarist 

and lead vocalist Jackson Stewart. 

The invitation came in a phone 

call from NZ On Air music 

promoter Jeff Newton. 

“He’s obviously been following 

along and thinks we’re at a 

point where we’re ready for this 

opportunity and we jumped at it. 

“The boys were buzzing, they 

were super stoked,” Stewart said.

tough, with progress often hard to 

measure. That’s why opportunities 

like this are so meaningful, 

Stewart said. 

“It definitely lights a spark for us 

and lets us know we’re on the right 

track, it makes us want to keep 

doing it.” 

‘It definitely lights a spark 

for us and lets us know

Over the years, the NZ On Air 

Showcase has been a launching 

pad for many successful acts 

including L.A.B, Drax Project, 

Brooke Fraser and Auckland 

alternative pop duo Balu 

Brigada, who moved to New 

York and now boast more than 

2.5 million monthly listeners on 

Spotify. 

“It’s a massive opportunity that 

could lead to bigger and better 

things,” Stewart said. 

Before heading to Auckland, 

Castaway will play a hometown 

show at Space Academy on June 

19 to celebrate the completion 

of their six-single EP, Nodule, 

which they’ve been working on 

over the past year-and-a-half. 

It was capped off with the 

release of Pretty Little Liar on 

Friday, a pop-rock inspired track 

detailing the pursuit of a toxic 

relationship. 

“It’s nice to be able to cap that 

period we were in and start to 

move on to the next thing,” said 

vocalist and drummer Joseph 

Martin.

CAMPERS WILL soon enjoy new 

facilities at Spencer Beach Top 10 

Holiday Park, as a rebuild of the 

main amenity block that was lost 

to fire gets under way. 

Hann Construction Ltd has 

started excavation and foundation 

work on the amenities block. 

City council manager activities 

and events Colin Jacka said the 

project also includes new toilets 

and showers, a kitchen and dining 

area, and a TV and games room. 

The buildings will be connected 

by covered walkways. 

“We’re excited to see this project 

come to life and restore a place 

that is much loved by our community. 

This rebuild is about enhancing 

the camping experience 

while reducing environmental 

impact,” he said. 

The new facilities will incorporate 

solar power systems and 

hot water heat pumps, helping 

to lower emissions and improve 

energy efficiency. 

The holiday park is owned and 

managed by the city council. 

The upgrade is due to be 

completed in time for the summer 

holidays.

DISCOVERY: A giant springtail was found in Christchurch 

on the first morning of the City Nature Challenge. It was 

one of 25,322 observations made across the city and Banks 

Peninsula during the challenge. 

PHOTOS: CCC 

Giant springtail find puts Chch on map 

IT WAS THE first morning 

of the City Nature Challenge, 

and Dr Frank Ashwood 

was spending his day doing 

macrophotography in Kennedy’s 

Bush in the Port Hills. 

After hours of overturning 

decaying wood and discovering 

native fungi and invertebrates, 

Ashwood was getting ready to 

call it a day. 

“I turned over one last log, 

and my heart soared at the 

unmistakable sight of a giant 

springtail,” Ashwood said. 

“At only five millimetres long, 

it was one of the tiniest I’ve 

encountered – 

but big things 

come in small 

packages, and 

this observation 

has finally put 

Christchurch on 

the map for giant 

springtails.” 

Ashwood said 

the find is a sign 

Frank 

Ashwood 

the bush is being well managed, 

as the endemic invertebrates are 

very sensitive to habitat loss and 

disturbance. 

“This is a very exciting discovery 

and great news for the 

biodiversity value of the Port 

Hills area,” he said. 

“I’ve been hoping to find giant 

springtails around Christchurch 

for a while now, having photographed 

them in native bush all 

around the South Island. But 

according to the iNaturalist distribution 

maps and the scientific 

literature, they’ve never been 

found anywhere near the city.” 

The discovery was one of 

the 25,322 observations made 

across Christchurch and Banks 

Peninsula throughout the City 

Nature Challenge – a tally that 

has increased compared to 

last year’s 20,310. 

The 10th annual event ran 

from April 25-28 with a total of 

3,310,131 observations from 669 

cities across 62 countries. 

City council community partnership 

ranger Sarah Mankelow 

said it was an amazing autumnal 

weekend for exploring nature 

in the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor. 

“Our evening event at the Climate 

Action Campus was a huge 

success with families travelling 

all the way from Timaru to attend,” 

she said. 

“Another highlight was the 

spotlight walk to the river where 

Jenny Bond from Te Tuna Toane 

facilitated a close encounter with 

tuna/eels.” 

Saturday events included a 

whānau fun day at Richmond 

Community Garden and a science 

exploration of Cockayne 

Reserve, before finishing the four 

days with a guided tour of the estuary 

mudflats with city council 

ecologist Andrew Crossland. 

“It was another stellar weekend 

with nature lovers from all across 

the region – we’re incredibly 

pleased with the final results,” 

Mankelow said.
