St Margaret’s coxed four Canterbury champions
The St Margaret’s College coxed four of Ella Wells, Olivia Hughes, Olivia Hutton, Alice Elworthy and Lucy Davidson took out the under-19 title at the Canterbury Rowing Championships over the weekend. The regatta was called off early due to high winds at Lake Ruataniwha. However, St Margaret’s still managed to capture two gold medals. •St Thomas of Canterbury College dominate, p12 PHOTO: ROWING CELEBRATION
Long wait for lower speed zones „„ By Andrew King SCHOOLS IN the west of the city face a possible two to five year wait before they will get reduced speed limits. The city council has only $120,000 a year to spend implementing school zones on roads by schools. The cost covers up to four zones across the city a year. That means many schools will face long waits – including Yaldhurst Model School, Aidanfield Christian School and Our Lady of Victories School. A school zone is an area around a school where the speed is reduced to 40km/h during times when pupils are arriving and leaving, any other time the usual speed limit applies. Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board chairman
Mike Mora said he wasn’t aware there was a delay and it needs to be addressed through the city council’s annual plan. “I think it is terrible they have got to wait. We need to do something about that,� he said. Hornby Primary School was the last school in the western area of the city to have a speed zone put in place. Based on the city council being able to install about three zones per year, Yaldhurst Model School would be completed this year, Aidanfield Christian School in 2019 and Our Lady of Victories School in 2021. Currently the Haeata Community Campus, Marshland School, Somerfield School, Yaldhurst Model School and Ouruhia School are all earmarked to have school zones installed this year.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK THE CITY council needs to urgently boost the amount of money it has to implement 40km/h zones outside schools. We reveal today the city council has a paltry $120,000 a year to put in school zones – and at about $30k a pop that means only four schools across the city a year will get them. Not good enough. If the council spent the same amount of money on school speed zones as it did on the Gormley sculptures – $800k – there would be no waiting list. Pretty simple really. Congratulations to Geoff Harrow, who has received a New Year’s honour and also features in the Our People segment this week. From climbing with Sir Edmund Hillary to walking on his own to the South Pole, he speaks to reporter Caitlin Miles. – Barry Clarke

Stray cat Charlie leaves pawprint By Georgia O’Connor-Harding A STRAY cat, which has left a pawprint on the hearts of a Halswell couple, has an unlikely resemblance to one of silent film’s biggest stars. Charlie Chaplin, a “scruffy” cat, has inspired a popular collection of bright feline-themed pots at the Halswell Community Market. The cat first began to make Nick Hawes, and his wife Pauline Dellow’s, house a daily pit-stop about a year ago – at a time when they were looking to pursue a creative hobby of their own. Sharing similar characteristics to a tramp, the couple of 38 years, named the stray after English comic actor Sir Charles Spencer, after they saw him play the role of The Tramp in the film of the same name. “The cat just reminded us of Charlie Chaplin and the little sad looking character that looked in the windows of shops,” Mr Hawes said. The couple, who had been working in the digital technology realm for more than 20 years, decided they missed the fulfilment of illustrating designs from hand. “We needed to do something

In Brief SPARKS RD CLOSURE Sparks Rd has been closed between Sutherlands Rd and Hendersons Rd due to the installation of the South-east Halswell Wastewater Scheme. The road will be closed through to January 29 to allow for the construction of a new wastewater pump station at 270 Sparks Rd on city council-owned land set aside for stormwater treatment. The recommended detour will be via Hendersons Rd and Halswell Rd. The other detour will be via Cashmere Rd. Check the map below for details. OPPORTUNISTS Burglaries of garages and garden sheds are on the rise throughout the city, prompting police to issue a warning. Bikes, lawn mowers and tools are often the target with police saying residents should lock their sheds and garages, even when they are at home during the day. They encourage a combinationstyle lock or padlock to use on a garden shed door, which could be all it takes to put off an opportunistic thief, and to ensure bikes are put away and not left outside.

set up their own creative hobbies Cats in Your Face, building up a popular following both within the community and on their Facebook page. Mr Hawes describes the face of their hobbies as a “grown-up not to be cuddled” and a cat who “does his own thing.” “He comes when he wants to come and thanks us by hissing at us . . . he adopted us,” he said. A year later the cat-themed pots are in demand with orders coming from places including Invercargill, Dunedin and Ashburton. With a strong love for cats, the couple regularly give part of their proceeds to the Cats Protection League Canterbury based in Linwood. Mr Hawes has been a creative director of his own advertising and marketing business Yellow Pencil for more than 34 years. “When we started everything was done by hand. We used pens and paper. Everything was an art and has developed into digital technology,” he said. But he said while he and his wife found a “mutual enjoyment” in hand-painting pots, he would not wish to go back to the technology of three decades ago. •To find out more go to www.catsinyourface.co.nz

Geoff Harrow
Love of nature and adventure From climbing with Sir Edmund Hillary to walking on his own to the South Pole, Geoff Harrow spoke to Caitlin Miles about his achievements and receiving a Queen’s Service Medal
HONOURED: Geoff Harrow received a Maori cloak when he retired from the Shearwater Trust. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Firstly Geoff, congratulations on receiving your medal. I was quite astonished, it was quite a surprise. Really? Did you know that you had been nominated for it? I was told someone had nominated me at the end of October. I’m not sure who it is but I was a little embarrassed because, while I had worked hard for mountaineering and conservation and skiing, so have a hell of a lot of other people. There should be a couple of thousand other people that I know of that should deserve it just as much or more than me. How did you get started in conservation work? Well, I was always a bit of a wanderer. We lived in Upper Riccarton near the airport and we would go up around the countryside setting rabbit snares and collecting, dear I say it, terrible things like collecting bird eggs! I even

collected bird eggs from the main runway at Christchurch Airport. I’ve always been interested in birds. I started off making a birds’ egg collection, which is a terrible no-no these days, but a lot of kids did when I was at Riccarton School. I’ve always looked at the Port Hills and tried to get my brothers and sisters to take me there and they rarely would but, as I got older, I went with school friends and I could see the mountains way out to the west. We had a school trip to the West Coast and we came right through Arthur’s Pass and I saw snow up on the mountains and glaciers and thought, oh, isn’t that amazing and that I’d love to get up in that country, but I was a bit small to do that at that stage. So I had an interest from a very early age, but I’ve been a member of Forest & Bird since 1938, and I’m 90 now so 79 years. You’ve also been interested in the mountains for a long time?

I climbed Mt Oxford when I was about 12 and when I got to high school, I met up with other like-minded kids interested in tramping and one of them, his father, was a member of the mountaineering club and we went up to the Waimakariri in the third form (year 9) and we were right up there and it was quite something. We saw these back country huts so they were places to stay and the people that owned the huts said you kids should belong to the club because you’re using our facilities and very shortly after that I joined the mountaineering club, in 1945 I think it was. Did you work in the conservation sector? No. This was purely just a hobby. I worked for medical supplies’ companies. The whole of my life was spent in the marketing of research medicines to doctors and chemists. I’ve been retired for 32 years now.

leads to New Year’s honour You were a foundation member of the Craigieburn Valley Ski Club as well? I suggested to the mountaineering club that there were quite a group of young members who had their own set up and I was working in some of the sheep stations in the high country, Flockhill in particular and Mt White. In the Craigieburn Valley, they asked if I could show them how I get through that valley. I was a director for the Mt Hutt ski field for about 12 years and involved in the development right from the beginning. I was very lucky to get a trip to the Himalayas with Ed Hillary in 1954 with the New Zealand Alpine Club. That’s incredible, how did you manage to do that? They were calling for applications and I put my name forward and got on the team. What was that experience like? It was a very big challenge. We were in the Barun Valley mapping our climb and having a look at Makalu, the fifth highest mountain in the world. We got pretty high up that and then Ed Hillary collapsed, he was very sick and also had broken ribs

because he helped one of our team out of a crevasse. He collapsed at about 22,000ft (6705m) and we had to stop and get him off the mountain. So that was the end of climbing Makalu. But the highest peak we climbed was Baruntse, which is about 23,000ft (7010m). Have you ever gone back and tried to climb Makalu again? I went back with my wife on a tramping trip. I didn’t get a second chance to climb those, but I went down to the Antarctic on a biological expedition for four

hutton’s shearwater birds? My wife and I were on holiday up in Kaikoura staying with Ivan Hislop. He found out that we were interested in seeing all the water birds and suggested some things that we could do. I asked if there were any mutton birds or hutton’s shearwater colonies on the Kaikoura coast and he said not on the coast but up in the mountains there were. I was astonished, there was little known about hutton’s shearwaters so I went and had a look. That was about 50 years ago and I have

months in 1965 or 1966, and we were studying penguins and I got a trip to the South Pole. There were a lot of planes going down there and I got asked if I’d like to go. I was lucky to get on that trip. The planes were C130 Hercules and they pulled up just by the pole station and the navigator that was on the trip said this wasn’t quite the South Pole. It was about 1km away, so I walked to the South Pole alone. You must have had quite a few ‘pinch yourself moments.’ What was it like rediscovering

I told her I was one of the founders of the club and she came up and we met and we’re still together almost 60 years later. We both still ski, we skied last winter at Mt Hutt and Coronet Peak. She’s joined me and encouraged me with the work and things I’ve done. Do you have children that are interested in the outdoors too? My son Paul does a lot of skiing and a lot of hunting. But he came with me on one trip and just as we were going over a very steep waterfall, a huge rockfall came through – several hundred tonne – rocks as big as pianos came smashing through us. There were five in our party, including two 12-year-olds, one of them being Paul. Not one of us got a mark on us. I was terrified and wanted to turn round. My brother-in-law was with us and he was a pretty cool customer. He said ‘look Geoff, it’s all over and you’ve got some pretty important work to do while you’re here.’ It was a near miss but we did carry on.

Racers: Call the cops
By Georgia O’Connor-Harding FRESH BOY racer burnout marks found by a community patrol indicate speeding car problems in Halswell could be on the rise. But police are saying unless they are contacted the issue cannot be resolved. Both Senior Sergeant Pete Stills (left) and Community Constable Deborah Smalley said they have not been contacted about speeding cars in the area. Concern has been raised on the Halswell Community Group Facebook page over the number of drivers speeding through narrow roads in the suburb. Santa Rosa Ave, Wales St, Checketts Ave and Balcairn St have been identified as recent streets for speeding cars, leaving residents concerned about the safety of their children. Comments included: “They do it every day on Wales St right near the kindergarten”, “we see it in Checketts Ave . . . often thought off sitting

out there with some old bricks,” and “there’s a dick driving a Nissan 4x4 that always screams past our place in Balcairn St”. But Constable Smalley said unless the residents can get the registration number and evidence the issue is ongoing, it is difficult for police to follow up effectively. “If there is a pattern to it . . . we want to know and then we can put something in place. But at this stage it doesn’t seem to have been reported,” she said. The Hornby Community
Patrol went out recently patrolling Wigram, Hornby leaving Halswell for last. The patrol’s secretary Ann Smith said the patrol found a lot of boy racer-type burnout marks where Wales St becomes Ensign St, something she had not seen in the area before. She said the markings were “relatively new” near the Balcairn St, Ensign St intersection while marks on the same street near Dunbars Rd were more faded. But Mrs Smith said other than finding burnout marks

the Halswell, Wigram, Hornby area was “really quiet.” Former Lancewood Drive resident Robin Gray, who used to do the community patrol for the south-west of the city, said the problem boils down to there not being enough police manning the roads. “I have travelled up and down Halswell Rd and Lincoln Rd for the last five years, and I have never seen a speed camera in the area. By that I mean a car sitting with a speed camera operating,” he said. Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board member Debbie Mora is also urging residents to call the police and record offenders on their phone. “We are fortunate we have a good community Facebook page where people tend to actually look after each other . . . but the police don’t monitor that page so it is really important that the police are contacted,” she said.

TRASHED: Five trolleys of rubbish were found dumped in the northern part of Wycola Park.
Dumped rubbish cleaned up By Georgia O’Connor-Harding FIVE TROLLEYS teeming with trash has been cleared from Wycola Park in Hei Hei. A large heap of rubbish was found by resident Lyn Norris under the bushes in the northern part of the park last Wednesday. The park is popular for walkers and has two playgrounds and a skatepark. Mrs Norris, who has been picking up rubbish nearly everyday in the park for the past
two years said she has never seen the bushes in such a state. The rubbish was removed by city council at the end of the day. The trolleys contained bicycles, garage appliances and hoses. “It looks like people have been cleaning out their sheds,” she said. However, Mrs Norris said she was uncertain where the rubbish would have come from this time.

History of famous property developing SUCCESS: Warner and Patsy Mauger – from a North Beach garage to the captain’s table on the passenger liner QE2.
The Mauger family has owned and developed properties in the eastern suburbs for more than 60 years. Warner and Patsy Mauger bought 60 acres of land in 1990 and developed it into what is now called Northshore. And now, the Mauger family’s history has been documented in a book. By Fraser Walker-Pearce THE FAMILY responsible for many property developments in North New Brighton and Northshore can now sit down to read their own story. The Mauger family has owned property in the eastern suburbs since Ron and Jean Mauger bought a property on Rookwood Ave in 1945 for just £60. Now, Ron and Jean’s son Warner and wife Patsy own Maugers – a company with many divisions and arms including residential and commercial property and building projects across the city. Warner and Patsy were raised in North New Brighton in the 1930s and, by 1955, Warner was managing the well-known Maugers Garage on the Bower Ave and Travis Rd corner on
behalf of Ron. It was the couple’s first business venture. The garage was later sold to petroleum giants BP and a station is situated on the corner to this day. Warner’s late father Ron was a house builder and began the family’s business in 1945. He went on to purchase and build

properties in popular eastern suburbs streets such as Travis Rd, Bower Ave, Bassett St, Pages Rd, Beach Rd, Shaw Ave and Bowhill Rd. The Mauger family net has now been cast far and wide, with Warner and Patsy’s own children Philip, Timothy, Stephen and Penelope also having families of
their own. One of Philip’s sons, Jordan, was the star of television programme The Bachelor last year. Warner and Patsy live in Eastwood Rise, Northshore, one of many subdivisions that Warner started developing in the early 1990s. The family also does a great

deal of charitable work, which is not often talked about. After Warner suffered an eye injury requiring surgery in 1964, Ron and Jean donated a set of surgical equipment, along with a supporting holder designed for infants undergoing retina surgery, to the Canterbury District Health Board’s ophthalmology department a year after Warner’s surgery. Later, Warner and Patsy donated a Kowa Fundus (retina scanning) camera and committed more than $470,000 of their own money to the Canterbury Charity Hospital for a “muchneeded” expansion. In 2011, Warner and Patsy donated Olympus Endoscopic Ultrasound equipment to the Department of Gastroenterology at Christchurch Hospital after reading a newspaper article on the subject. It allowed the hospital to test bowel and liver cancer patients on-site rather the patients having to fly to Auckland for the same test. Some of the patients who, before that, had to fly to Auckland for treatment were too sick to do so, and were forced to stay put. By June of 2012, the machine had provided the specialised investigation tools to meet the needs of 160 cancer patients in the South Island. But the Maugers’ generosity did not stop there. In 2015 they knew the Canterbury Charity Hospital Trust needed more space following the earthquakes’ increased strain on the community and its health, and so injected the trust with more capital. In a charity hospital newsletter shortly after the Maugers’ donation, it stated “the Maugers’ have not only provided the hall at Innovation Park at no charge as the venue again for the Canstaff Charity Hospital Christmas Ball but have also bought a house next door to the hospital with the potential to expand the hospital’s services in the future.”

family documented in publication The property situated on Leacroft St was bought by the Warner and Patsy Mauger Charitable Foundation for more than $470,000. Canterbury Charity Hospital chairman Philip Bagshaw said the generosity and donations of the Mauger family have assisted the hospital’s running for a number of years. He said two of the new wards at the hospital will be named in honour of the Maugers. “We’re about to name two of the new buildings in their honour. One is going to be the Patsy Mauger House where we can do endoscopy, dentistry and counselling and the new one next to that will be the Warner Mauger House. That will principally house things like dental surgery and a dental laboratory for fixing and mending dentures,” he said. In 2013, Mt Pleasant author Paul Corliss was contacted by Warner in the hopes of collating the family’s history and having it printed in a book. Corliss was “more than happy to oblige” and recently completed the three-year project. He has now published the more than 500-page book, titled Mauger Milestones: The Legacy of a North Brighton Family. “Warner and Patsy fly very much under the philanthropy radar but contribute enormous sums to charities with a deliberate lack of fanfare and little publicity,” Corliss said.
HISTORY: The Hay’s dinosaur slide was part of the Christchurch Santa Parade until it was sold to the Ferrymead Heritage Park where it was chainsawed into bits. Warner Mauger paid a contractor to fix, clean and paint the slide, but when he offered it back to the city council it was rejected.
The book details the family’s rise in success from the early 1900s all the way up to present day, when Warner and Patsy opened the Maugers Property project Innovation Park in Templeton. Prior to being Innovation Park, the site was used as a school for intellectually disabled children, known as the Templeton Farm Colony. In 1967 it was disestablished, and completely closed down in the 1990s. After both the CDHB and Ngai Tahu attempted and failed to turn the land into residential properties, it was subsequently sold to the Maugers.
BLANK CANVAS: In 1990, the Mauger’s Northshore land was a desolate area of grass and weeds. Now it is a thriving subdivision. PHOTOS: Mauger Milestones: The Legacy of a North Brighton Family
“We got advised by a land agent that the old Templeton Hospital and its site were up for sale, from the CDHB, through Ngai Tahu. No doubt others were also interested, and we literally only had the weekend to assess it and make our minds up – no time to do the usual homework. The boys will tell you, they weren’t happy with the time available to make the decision,” Warner said. Initially the idea for a business park was rejected by the city council, but in 2010 after a change of tack their case was heard by a commissioner, the decision was reversed and
the Maugers were allowed to continue with Innovation Park. “Innovation Park was built upon a belief that to achieve great things people need a great environment to work in . . . companies, collaborating on projects and establishing a powerful network of complementary business, while employees are inspired to explore new ideas and possibilities while enjoying a host of outstanding amenities,” Warner said. Following in the property development footsteps of his late father Ron, and after the sale of the family garage to BP, Warner bought 60 acres of land in North Beach, behind Waimairi Beach, for “about one million dollars” in 1991 and named the subsequent developments Northshore. “My mother thought I was absolutely mad as it was just swampy hills, tussock, broom, lupin and old man macrocarpa,” Warner said. The book states that from the
first truck loads of sand excavated from the site up until last year, about 250 houses have since been built and sold in the Northshore subdivision. Patsy and Warner also have a passion for keeping history alive, as can be seen with the resident green dinosaur in their garden. The fibreglass dinosaur childrens’ slide originally sat on the Farmers department store roof, but after it was gifted to the Ferrymead Heritage Park, it was chainsawed into pieces. Warner was on the board of directors at the park at the time, and thought the dino slide should be saved as it was part of the city’s history. “We took it around to the contracting workshop at Tahuna St and with the help of one of the Maugers’ workers Roger Westerink, fibre-glassed, painted and rebuilt it. When the restoration project was complete I rang parks and reserves at the city council and said ‘the historic dinosaur slide is all ready to go, what park do you want me to put it in?’ . . . the offer was rejected on health and safety grounds,” he said. The slide now sits next to Warner and Patsy’s home and is used by local children whenever the Maugers host street parties. About the author: •Paul Corliss has now written 13 books on New Zealand history, biographies and bibliographies. •Mauger Milestones: The Legacy of a North Brighton Family is his most recent publication. Corliss said he prefers writing about local unsung heroes as they are, in his eyes, a lot more interesting and often raise more eyebrows than the more famous names in communities. •In his spare time Corliss is also the secretary of the Heathcote Cricket Club.

St Thomas dominate rowing champs with four medals By Gordon Findlater A NUMBER St Thomas of Canterbury College crews tasted success at the weekend’s Canterbury Rowing Championships. Josh Dent and William Topham set the tone for the school, racing clear of the field to win the under-15 boys’ double scull. The pair finished almost seven seconds ahead of their nearest rival, second-placed Christchurch Boys’ High School. High winds on Sunday meant that only 22 of the finals went ahead before white caps on the water stopped racing at Twizel’s Lake Ruataniwha. However, the four St Thomas crews that managed to take part in finals all walked away with medals in what was a very successful weekend. “I’m stoked. We had a good training week leading into the weekend so the boys were pretty tired. It makes it even more pleasing when they can back up after a tough week and still race well,” said St Thomas’ head of rowing Rob-
bie Lang. Silver went to St Thomas’ under-19 quadruple sculls of Tobi Sunter, Lachlan Sydney, Reuben Clutterbuck, Leon Barrowcliffe and cox Ben Wright, who finished behind Timaru Rowing Club. Lachlan Sydney and Logan Anderson also took out a silver medal in the under-17 double scull. St Thomas’ under-16 coxed eight of Jakiah Ineson, Logan Mehlhopt, Johvaan Renata, Liam Constable, Josh Kelly, Liam Hattrill, Jack Hurley, Josh Grosvenor and cox Sam Wright completed the set of medals for the school by taking bronze behind North End Rowing Club and St Bede’s College. St Thomas will now turn its attention to the South Island Championships on January 28 at Lake Ruataniwha.

Canty ace under-14 tennis title RUNNER-UP: Burnside High School student Amelia Garvey, 16, finished second overall at the South Australian junior amateur golf championship. The up-and-coming talent led the field after shooting an opening round of 70 at the Kooyonga Golf Club in Adelaide last week. A second round of 75 left her four shots off the lead. Garvey then recovered with a final round score of 72 to finish three shots behind championship winner Amy Chu, of Sydney. Last year, Garvey helped Burnside win the New Zealand secondary schools golf title. She also won the Australian Federal Amateur Open title in Canberra and had her first win on the Charles Tour at the Muriwai Open.

News Sensei lives up to Jonny’s memory By Gabrielle Stuart THERE WAS something special about Sensei – Michael Pitman knew it from the minute he set eyes on the year-old colt. Three years ago, Mr Pitman’s son, Jonny, took his own life, aged 28. Something about the yearling, which he came across while visiting sales in Sydney, brought back memories of Jonny. “He reminded me of my boy when I saw him – he’s strong, dark, good-looking,” Mr Pitman (left) said. “I always wanted to have a horse good enough to name after my son.” Although Mr Pitman has raised dozens of horses, he has never given one a stable nickname. But when he goes out to work with the colt, he calls him Jonny. Last week, his faith in the horse paid off when Sensei won at the Waikouaiti New Year’s Day races. It was an emotional moment for the Pitman family, and for many others in the racing community who knew Jonny. Mr Pitman said it hit home when he heard commentator

HAPPIER TIMES: Jonny Pitman (right) at his brother Matt’s wedding.
Matt Cross, who knew Jonny, announce Sensei had reached the line “with a little help from above.” The name Sensei, which is the Japanese title for a martial arts teacher, was chosen to honour Jonny. He had represented New Zealand in judo and tae kwon do, and spent time in Japan training under martial arts masters. The first name the family considered was Pitbull, the nickname Jonny was given on the rugby league field, but that name was taken. Mr Pitman runs the Pitman Racing Stables with his son, Matt. He said they had originally

I hate what it did to us, but at the end of the day it was his decision.” He said there was a big stigma around discussing suicide, but he hoped that would change. “There are so many suicides each year but it hardly gets a mention. I don’t have trouble talking about it because the more it’s spoken about hopefully the less it happens.” On Saturday, Sensei raced at Trentham, finishing a hardfought fourth, auguring well for the rest of the Wellington Cup
planned to have a three-way partnership with Jonny. “I miss my son so badly, it doesn’t matter. Not only did he live here with us, we worked together too,” he said. One of the horses he and Jonny trained together, No Emotion, also raced on New Year’s Day, finishing third in the Waikouaiti Cup. He said Jonny had been very intelligent and good at almost everything he did, but had struggled with depression. Trying to come to terms with his son’s death had been incredibly difficult, he said. “For the first six months not a

Ensuring a safe work place Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or on to the sports field? not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,

hypothermia and poisonings. The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far behind those in the workplace. The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard 6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk environments. This course covers many of the skills required to deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes such as motor vehicle accidents. if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the course content and give you options that will best suit your needs. Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where it is located.

Anxiety continues to affect our most vulnerable Christchurch Methodist Mission executive director Jill Hawkey writes about the challenging time families face as the start of the school year looms Going back to school is a stressful time for some families. Just before the Christmas and New Year break the Christchurch Methodist Mission ran its annual Support a Family initiative. Support a Family meant that 150 families and 30 older people enjoyed Christmas without worrying about what they could afford. It was incredible to see both the generosity of individuals, families, businesses and churches who provided the hampers and the overwhelming joy of the families and older people who received them. For families in our community who have just
managed to get through Christmas, the start of the school year represents a very challenging time. Sending a child to a state school is not cheap. Stationery, school fees, camps, sports fees and travel all add up. With technology being such an integral part of a child’s education, a tablet or laptop is also required by many schools. These costs are significant. For families who are struggling with unemployment, redundancy, income insufficiency or illness, they can be insurmountable. CMM is working with many families that will struggle to meet these costs and will need our assistance. Looking at the year ahead, housing and anxiety are set to continue to affect our most vulnerable.
CMM is ready to respond to these critical issues. We provide warm, affordable and secure housing and on-going social support to a number of families and older people. This year we are opening an emergency house and expanding our existing community housing stock. Anxiety continues to have a huge impact in our community. CMM’s Flourish initiative, funded by the Tindall Foundation, responds to the needs of children and their parents who are struggling with low to moderate anxiety. It provides individual support for children and their families, group programmes and tailormade parenting courses. Referrals are accepted from schools, public health nurses, other social service organisations and parents can self-refer themselves and/or their children. We would gladly welcome your support this year. To donate visit www. mmsi.org.nz/donate. Your gift will make a difference.

Celebrating
3 17
45 years
of Childcare that Cherishes Children In 1972, when Glennie Oborn opened her first centre, her commitment to parents was to keep each child Safe, Loved and Learning. And after 45 years, every Kindercare centre is still family owned, guided by the same family values, and still providing fun-filled care, that nurtures children through kindness. Knowing your child is Safe matters to parents, and to Kindercare. That’s why access to our centres is by keypad only, to control entry and exit. Protecting children in a secure environment is our priority. Love is at the heart of our centres because relationships matter. Our qualified, experienced team ensure your child will receive lots of cuddles and affection, which helps them settle, because they feel loved. Getting to know your child is a priority so we can respond to them quickly. Learning happens naturally, through play, once your baby, toddler or preschooler feels safe and loved. When they’re relaxed, they can have fun, and enjoy discovering their world. Your child will benefit from freedom to move in open spaces, exploring tactile environments for sensory learning, and challenging themselves at each developmental stage.
Home-made midday meals, and morning and afternoon snacks, ensure busy parents don’t have to worry about their child’s nutritional needs. With lots of fresh fruit and loads of vegges for lunch, your child will enjoy healthy variety that’s good for them too! Parents appreciate the value in preparing their child for school. At Kindercare, we know the difference a smooth transition makes for your preschooler. Our dynamic curriculum includes social/emotional development programs, Letterland (introducing the alphabet) and Cherry.bytes (a safe and fun introduction to technology as a learning tool). We’re privileged to be entrusted with your child’s care, and we’re here to work alongside your family. Pop in for a visit…we’re waiting to meet you and your child.
Entrust your child to the safe, lov ng care of our family-owned childcare centres Since 1972, we’ve provided more than full and part time care and education for babies, toddlers and preschoolers we’ve provided a Kindercare family. And we’re here for you, to keep your child safe, share their discoveries, guide their enquiry, ensure they’re ready for school and most of all, fill your child’s days with love and fun. Our Kindercare team have a warm welcome waiting at a centre near you…

Excitement high at A fresh look for Avonside Girls’ High School Shirley Boys’ High School You won’t have to look hard to see one of the new developments at Shirley Boys’ High School in 2017 – it will be on almost every student you see.
Principal Sue Hume.
2017 will be a year of progress for the Avonside Girls’ High School whanau. Not only will the design of their state-ofthe-art new campus alongside Shirley Boys’ be revealed, their BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) scheme is being increased to include all of the Year 9 cohort, a new uniform is in the pipeline and the school is adopting a new style of form class to lend greater support to students.
Sue Hume says this is part of Avonside’s drive to increase student wellbeing and support. “Avonside’s core focus is not just on educating but empowering girls to be the best they can be. You can’t lift students to their highest levels of achievement unless you have a supportive atmosphere.”
A new uniform is being rolled out… so it’s out with the grey shorts and walk socks and in with a sleek new navy and light blue kit. Along with the new look, Shirley Boys’ is continuing to show it’s at the forefront of education with several new initiatives, including a unique new form class, the roll out of a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) system across the whole school and the introduction of a new teaching model. “All of our teachers will be given the chance to co-teach in 2017 and 2018. That will see two teachers working with two classes of students at the same time” says Headmaster John Laurenson.
“It’s a collaborative approach that we trialed in 2016. The feedback was very positive – teachers inspired each other and the students liked being able to experience a range of teaching styles.” The new form class will have a strong emphasis on tikanga and te reo Māori, embracing Maori principles such as manaakitanga (exercising compassion and empathy), thus providing a respectful environment for focused mentoring and raising student achievement. Priority for the new class will be given to students who are engaged in Māori cultural pursuits, studying te reo or who have come bilingual or immersion units.

Students are also looking forward to Principal Sue Hume says the new system increased access to digital technology will see each girl with the same whanau with the BYOD scheme rolling out across group teacher for her five years at school. the Year 9 cohort, with the view to having full BYOD across the school by 2019. “This model gives students the opportunity to bond with one teacher “Technological devices are just a tool and have her own family within the for learning but they do unlock a whole Avonside community.

Hornby High School We will start 2017 with a bang, quite literally, as we get set for the first demolitions that precede our rebuild. First to go are the administration block, and the library building, due to come down in March. Contractors then begin the build for the first part of the brand new Hornby High School with our Hauora, administration, learning commons and specialist learning spaces that cover sciences, creative arts, and technologies. The work that goes on inside our buildings is also changing with two ongoing developments. We are asking all students to have Chromebooks available during their school day. The evidence for their significant impact on learning is growing, all of this work underpinned with our
learning methodology of ‘Learn Create Share’ (supported by the Manaiakalani Outreach Programme) which we share with our partnership schools in our Uru Manuka cluster. This pedagogy develops deeper learning and digital fluency, both essential in our modern era. We are also developing student and staff abilities to cause learning using project based learning. PBL is well known to improve student engagement and deeper learning, and following successful trials in 2016 is set to grow in use this year. This all forms a part of the backdrop to our journey towards the school’s exciting vision ‘A centre of creative excellence’. Make sure that you are a part of this exciting future focussed journey.

The Board of Governors bought the old Kokiri school building and some 5 acres of land in August 1973. Soon after the purchase a bunkroom was built and a dedicated education programme was developed with the emphasis on inter personal skills. The first class groups visited Kokiri in November 1974, 40 years ago.
The Year 9 and 10 programmes are different, and complement each other in developing self-confidence, team work and leadership skills in an outdoor education context facilitated by the experienced instructors.

South New Brighton School’s Got Talent
Villa Maria College
Girls from Villa Maria College working on their Science project.
Villa Maria College is a state integrated Catholic secondary school for girls in Years 7 – 13. The foundation for everything we do is our Catholic faith, which we express through our Mercy charism. Dance Crew, from left to right: Morgan Bailey, Ella Timbrell, Molly Chalmers and Chloe Timbrell.
One of the great things about our school is that it is a full primary (Year 1-8). This means that our students can stay with the same group of friends and teachers until high school and get to take on a lot of areas of responsibility around the school. This year we had a large group of Year 8 Prefects who have buddied up with new entrants, visited our local kindergarten, led assemblies, arranged a staff vs. Year 8’s basketball tournament and worked in the office at lunchtimes to give our hardworking office staff a break. We also have so many talented students at SNBS! For the second year in a row, our school has held an SNBS’s Got Talent Show to showcase this talent. This is another one of the things that our Prefect group has helped to organise. 69 of our Year 5-8 students gave up their morning teas and lunchtimes to audition for their place in the Semi Finals. There were Solo and Group categories of Singing, Dance, Entertainment and Instrumental. All of this could not have happened without our dedicated teachers, who gave up their valuable time to judge and decide who would make it through to the finals. Leading into the final, the competition was fierce. The 8 finalists performed stunningly in front of the whole school at our Whanau Hui. It was an intensely difficult decision for our judges, Tom and Holly from Original

The cultural life of the College is also filled with extensive musical and choral opportunities along with bi-annual Productions and Stage Challenge entries.

Make wise choices for holiday fun Don’t spend your holiday recuperating from a preventable accident. The double whammy of the holiday and summer seasons are in full swing. Accidents lead the way for ambulance rides and healing time. An accident is just that. An event that happens from a series of events, causing bodily harm. In most cases those events could have been prevented with a little more thought behind the decision. At Physiotherapy Associates, located at 86 Wainoni Rd, Wainoni, they pride themselves in assisting the healing process and they are strong advocates in that awareness and assessment are the key to prevention. “We stress to our clients, the following; always have a first aid kit in the car, on the boat, or at your location and do a first aid course. Muscle and ligament strains and sprains are some of the most common accident results.” Says head physiotherapist Richard.
Alcohol consumption is one of the biggest contributors to any accident. As people mature in many cases they acquire that, “invisible, superhero syndrome” where they feel they can do actions with the same buoyancy as when they were younger. In many instances this leads to the result of a fall, tweak or miscalculate in the action and an injury incurs.” Richard advises, “If there is severe pain, deformity or inability to bear weight seek medical help or call 111 immediately. If soft tissue pain does not improve by the order of about 50% within 48 hours, visit your GP, afterhours or your local physiotherapist.” Fun is what life is all about. Creating memories and enjoying yourself. Just remember when water-skiing, swimming, playing cricket, touch, tramping, skateboarding, running, biking, walking, or any physical activity to assess the situation, look at the potential outcome and make that choice to protect yourself and
