A BOLD new initiative for the 

proposed multi-use arena has 

come from a year 9 student at St 

Andrew’s College. 

As part of a social studies 

government unit, Lachlan Johns

He presented this proposal to 

city councillors on Thursday, 

receiving praise from Deputy 

Mayor Andrew Turner, who 

said the presentation was “an 

example of why we should be 

absolutely listening to young 

people.” 

In his proposal, Lachlan said 

he wanted to change the way 

people view live sports and bring 

the comforts of home to the 

stadium. “People often say that 

the best seat in the house is your 

couch, because you can see every 

part of the game at once,” he said 

during his presentation. 

He proposed having a 

bluetooth phone service 

connected to each seat, which 

would allow audiences to replay 

scenes they had just watched 

live on their phones, look up 

statistics, switch camera views 

and provide audio from referees, 

captains and commentators. 

In spite of not making a difference 

to the final outcome, 

Lachlan said audiences could 

get the opportunity to place a 

‘public vote’ on television match 

official decisions. 

After the presentation, Mr 

Turner said he would refer 

Lachlan’s idea and letter to the 

stadium project team.

Plans for 

indoor 

sports 

venue in 

Northcote 

stalled 


AN AMBITIOUS project to 

build an indoor sports venue in 

Northcote may have stalled. 

No funding was granted for the 

project in the Long Term Plan, 

and it is not clear whether the city 

council will support it. 

Developers Kris Inglis and 

Mike Percasky spoke during the 

LTP submissions about their proposal 

for an indoor sports venue 

on Northcote Rd, which could 

accommodate up to 20 indoor 

courts. 

They asked if the city council 

would consider purchasing the 

facility for $20 million or renting 

it. A city council spokeswoman 

said last week staff were still 

getting in touch with people who 

made submissions to the LTP. 

Mr Inglis said one option is for 

the city council to lease the venue 

once it has been built. 

“We haven’t got any funding for 

it at this stage but we are still talking 

to the sporting groups about 

how that will all work . . . it’s still 

on the cards but we are just working 

through a few options at the 

moment.” •Turn to page 4

PLANS TO set up an indoor sports centre 

in Northcote look dead in the water (see 

page 1). 

Two businessmen suggested the city 

council could buy the facility for $20 

million or rent it for $1.5 million to get it off the ground. 

But no money was allocated in the recent Long Term Plan 

(that’s for projects over the next 10 years). 

You can hardly blame the city council. It is cash-strapped and 

there’s big sports developments elsewhere to fund. 

Speaking of ideas, I suspect we’ll be hearing a lot more of 

Lachlan Johns (see page 1). 

The St Andrew’s College student has gone to the city council 

with an idea of how to make the city’s new sports stadium 

digital.

Great news for Belfast and 

Casebrook residents was the 

announcement that due to 

overwhelming response the 107 

and 108 bus routes are not being 

axed. 

Constituents met with me to 

voice their concerns when they 

heard these routes were at risk 

under Environment Canterbury’s 

proposed new options for public 

transport. They were worried 

about our elderly becoming 

socially isolated. One constituent 

told me she had deliberately 

bought her house on the bus 

route for her retirement. Getting to 

medical appointments and being 

able to go shopping were other 

concerns. 

Most public transport systems 

are subsidised as there is a 

recognition of the need to provide 

transport options. Solutions need 

to balance best use of funding 

against providing these services. 

The 107 is retained but will 

run hourly and the 108 has been 

absorbed into an extended 28 

service that will have the same, 

or better, frequency and a direct 

route to the central city. For 

details go to Metro Christchurch’s 

website and look under the News 

tab. 

Well done to everyone who 

made their voices heard. 

I am holding a public meeting 

to have a conversation about 

the steps we need to take as a 

country to transition to a lowcarbon 

economy. Climate Change 

Spokesperson Todd Muller and 

a local solar energy business 

operator will be throwing up some 

ideas at the “Zero Carbon Bill 

Yes? No? Maybe?” public meeting 

on Friday 3 August at 7pm in the 

Kaiapoi Club. 

Please join us for this important 

debate. 

I have lodged my petition to save 

the Belfast to Pegasus Motorway 

extension in Parliament. This 

planned highway is the logical 

next step to the undisputed gains 

made by the Western Belfast 

Bypass. I am urging Government 

to not let our residents down with 

the final stages of this important 

corridor.

Weeds may still sink kids fishing day 

Organiser calls 

for two stage 

solution 


A “SIGNIFICANT cloud of 

uncertainty” still hangs over 

the popular annual Take a Kid 

Fishing event at The Groynes 

lakes. 

Kids Fishing Charitable Trust 

chairman David Denton is calling 

for a two 

stage approach 

to the current 

lagarosiphon 

weed problem 

that has previously 

threatened 

the event’s 

David Denton 

future. 

Mr Denton 

said in a letter 

to the Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

that its trustees are “extremely 

concerned” due to the lack of 

clarity around a resolution to 

the weed problem. He said the 

problem “seriously devalued last 

year’s event.” 

“The build-up to each years’ 

event starts 364 days out, 

with all arrangements with 

UNCERTAINTY: Freya Askew caught a 4kg salmon at the 

Take a Kid Fishing day last year. However, organisers are 

“extremely concerned” about the event’s future.

stakeholders needing to be in 

place many months prior to the 

event,” he said. 

The city council has commissioned 

a report from environmental 

planning and design 

consultants, Boffa Miskell, 

around possible solutions. It 

is expected by the end of the 

month. 

Mr Denton has asked city 

council for the report to include 

two stages, covering a short and 

a long-term plan. 

He hopes the short-term plan 

will see the weed cleared by the 

end of next month and the longterm 

plan will cover general 

maintenance and weed control 

over the coming years. 

“No doubt there will be questions 

raised around what we 

are requesting and believe the 

logical next step is to get all parties 

around the table as soon as 

possible to discuss stage one and 

agree on the go forward,” said 

Mr Denton in the letter. 

In the past, The Isaac Conservation 

and Wildlife Trust has 

donated hundreds of salmon 

which are released into the lake 

for the event. Take a Kid Fishing 

has been running since 1988 and 

attracts about 5000-6000 people. 

Volunteers show the children 

how to catch a salmon and how 

to clean and prepare them for 

cooking. 

Previously, Nor’West News 

reported the event, set to take 

place in October, could be 

pushed back until late November 

or December because of the 

issue. 

Two options involving chemical 

control have been suggested 

as a solution. The work is estimated 

to cost about $15,000.

ROTO KOHATU TOILETS 

Two locations for two 

permanent toilet blocks 

have been approved for Roto 

Kohatu Reserve. However, the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board said the 

approval is subject to the final 

budget and financial information 

being presented at a later 

board meeting. The board has 

concerns over the estimated 

cost of the proposed public 

toilet blocks, which will require 

new underground services not 

currently in the reserve. 

PRESTONS RD ACTION 

Changes will be made to traffic 

management on Prestons Rd 

after more than 30 complaints 

were received by the city council. 

The various complaints were 

about the current one-way 

system, which is in place while 

work on a new sewer and water 

pipes for future developments 

are completed. The one-way 

system will change direction 

to allow only west-bound 

traffic. East-bound traffic will 

be detoured via Grimseys Rd, 

QE II Drive and Hills Rd. The 

change should reduce delays on 

QE II Drive during peak times. 

Traffic will still be two-way from 

the Grimseys, Prestons Rds 

intersection west. The work will 

continue until September.

Northcote 

sports venue 

plan stalls 

•From page 4 

“It could take another few 

months before it’s really settled. 

We’re just working through the 

various options.” 

However, Mr Inglis said they 

were not disappointed. “We 

understand there is a lot of 

pressure on council budgets 

at the moment. We are more 

approaching the individual 

sports groups, but it would be 

fantastic if the council wanted 

to somehow be involved but we 

understand that there’s a lot of 

pressure on the LTP.” 

Canterbury Netball and 

Mainland Football have shown 

interest in the venue. 

The developers also suggested 

the city council could save 

money on the metro sports 

facility by scaling back the 

number of indoor courts and 

invest into the Northcote venue. 

The indoor courts could be used 

for netball, futsal, basketball, 

tennis, badminton and 

volleyball 

The planned venue could 

also feature a cafe, child care 

centre, 450 car parks and other 

entertainment options such as 

10-pin bowling and laser strike.

PRESSURE: Simon Britten is encouraging people to give their feedback to ECan and the city 

council over issues they feel strongly about, such as the proposed cutting of bus routes in 

Papanui. 

WITH Environment 

Canterbury’s recent adoption 

of its Long Term Plan, users 

of public transport in Papanui 

have been assured that local bus 

services will continue operating. 

This follows ‘overwhelming’ 

public opposition to its proposal 

to discontinue six routes, including 

the 107 and 108 in our area, 

and is a positive result for peoplepower 

and the impact that vocal 

ratepayers can have. 

From time to time, when 

Think Papanui shares proposals 

that are open for consultation or 

subsequent city council decisions, 

I see comments along the lines of 

‘what’s the point’ – the implication 

being that consultation is a 

box-ticking exercise before our 

city or regional council goes 

ahead with whatever they’re proposing 

to do. 

The backdown by ECan on 

our bus routes suggests otherwise. 

Councils are never going to 

please everyone, but a strong response 

from the public can have 

an impact. 

Right now, city council staff 

are working on two local projects 

that have attracted high levels 

of feedback – the Main North 

Rd bus priority project and proposed 

options for dealing with 

increased traffic downstream 

from the Christchurch Northern 

Corridor. 

On the other hand, the proposal 

to drop the speed limit 

on the high-volume top part of 

Cranford St is set to be rubber 

stamped after generating fewer 

than 50 submissions, with only 

nine in opposition. 

When’s the next opportunity to 

have your say? 

I suggest taking a look at 

ECan’s upcoming return to a 

fully democratically elected 

council. 

Until Monday July 30, it is 

possible to comment on ECan’s 

proposed representation arrangements, 

which will see the 

Papanui Ward forming part of a 

Christchurch north constituency 

that will vote for two out of the 

13-member council. 

As we’ve seen with the bus 

route backdown, decisions made 

by ECan directly impact us at 

a local level – be sure you have 

your say.

OPEN: Pupils from Papanui Primary School were some of the first to bike through the 

Winters Rd subway after it was opened last week. 

Winters Rd subway opened 

under Northern Corridor 

THE FIRST major structure 

of the Christchurch Northern 

Corridor is now open. 

The Winters Rd subway 

opened last week so pedestrians 

and cyclists can go underneath 

the new four-lane highway. 

It will also divert them from 

the shared QE II Drive path, as 

the path between Grimseys and 

Winters Rds is now closed for an 

upgrade. 

Work on the subway started in 

February last year, and 662 piles 

were driven into the ground to 

create a solid foundation. 

During the Northern Corridor 

project, 11 bridges, 13 culverts 

and two subways will be built. 

Two other subways will also be 

upgraded. 

The final design for the 

shared path will go along QE 

II Drive and the new highway 

interchange to cross Winters Rd. 

From there, the path uses the 

new subway to continue eastbound 

onto QE II Drive and 

south-bound to Cranford St. 

A small community 

celebration was held with 

residents from Redwood and 

Mairehau at the subway and 

the first users were treated to 

a hot beverage and Subway 

cookies. 


SPEED LIMITS will soon 

be changing along roads in 

Harewood and Yaldhurst after a 

city council vote last week. 

After several years of campaigning, 

Harewood School 

principal Julie Greenwood has 

now got her wish as the speed 

limit outside the school will be 

dropped to 50km/h. 

Originally it was only going to 

be lowered to 60km/h. However, 

after pushing the issue further 

with the Fendalton-Waimairi- 

•Parts of Harewood Rd will 

become 50km/h. 

•Waimakariri Rd and Whitchurch 

Pl will be 60km/h, as 

well as parts of Sawyers 

Arms Rd and Watsons Rd. 

•Parts of Styx Mill Rd and 

Gardiners Rd will become 

60km/h. 

•Highsted Rd and Claridges 

Rd will become 50km/h. 

•The speed limit of Hussey 

Rd will be set at 50km/h. 

•Parts of Guys Rd, Ryans Rd 

Local 


Now 


Harewood principal 

gets her wish for 

lower speed limits 

Where speed limits will change 

Harewood Community Board, it 

will be lowered to 50km/h, with 

a review to be completed in six 

months. 

Said Community board deputy 

chairman Aaron Campbell: 

“Advice from traffic engineers 

was the 70km/h should be 

60km/h, but the number of community 

requests to reduce this to 

50km/h was significant during 

the engagement process,” he said. 

The changes will come into 

affect this month and new speed 

signs will be put in. 

and Coringa Rd will be set at 

60km/h. 

•Other parts of Guys Rd and 

Ryans Rd, and Savills Rd and 

Conservators Rd, will be set 

at 80km/h. 

•The speed limit on the 

northern stretch of Cranford 

St and Main North Rd will 

also drop from 60km/h 

to 50km/h through to the 

Northcote Rd, Main North

Jones won’t resign from board 

over facility in Shirley – yet 


ALI JONES won’t be walking 

away from local body politics – 

for now at least. 

Last year, the Papanui-Innes 

Community Board chairwoman 

threatened to leave the 

board if a budget for the rebuild 

of a Shirley community 

facility was not included in the 

city council’s Long Term Plan. 

In the LTP, funding has been 

allocated 

to urgently 

complete 

a ‘network 

plan’ for 

community 

facilities, so 

potential 

facility 

ideas can be 

Ali Jones 

considered within a city-wide 

context. 

In the mayor’s recommendations, 

Lianne Dalziel said the 

city council will request staff 

complete the plan as soon 

as practical, and approved 

$170,000 for it in order to 

inform next year’s and future 

annual plans. 

“Potential developments 

include, but are not limited to, 

WAITING: The site of the former Shirley Community Centre at 10 Shirley Rd. (Inset) – The 

community centre before it was pulled down. 

PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN 

the Shirley community centre, 

a multicultural centre, a centre 

for Avondale, Burwood, Dallington 

area and an Okains 

Bay community centre,” said 

Ms Dalziel. 

Ms Jones considered this a 

commitment, and said she will 

not be standing down from the 

board at this stage. 

“I’m not covering my butt 

here. If I felt that there wasn’t 

any commitment to this community 

facility on Shirley Rd, 

then I would stand by what I 

said. But, at the moment, I see 

that as a commitment.” 

However, Ms Jones said she 

could still resign if no progress 

is made. “It’s still open, if we 

don’t see the progress on this 

site . . . I will stand by my position,” 

she said. 

Ms Jones said it is important

Christ’s band step up to win Rockquest 

• By Julia Evans 

THEY’RE CALLED The Subs 

because the band is made up of 

“bench warmers” from Run77 – 

the winner of last year’s regional 

Smokefreerockquest final. 

Now The Subs have graduated 

from the sideline and, in their 

debut Rockquest final, they 

stripped Run77 – their Christ’s 

College counterparts – of the 

title at The Foundry. 

“When I heard second and 

third place read out, my heart 

sank – I thought Run77 would 

win . . . I thought we hadn’t made 

it,” vocalist, rhythm guitarist and 

song-writer Jono Stewart said. 

“It was unreal, though, it hasn’t 

really sunk in yet.” But Jono 

did admit the rivalry was a “bit 

of a joke” between the bands – 

they’re actually good friends. 

The Subs are a college poprock 

band made up of Jono, Zac 

Matson on bass, Humphrey 

Bullen playing lead guitar, 

Matias Biraben-Clough on 

drums and Max Toth playing 

keyboard and synth. 

They entered the 

Smokefreerockquest last year, 

but didn’t even make it through 

the heats. 

“We were heinous when we 

first started playing. Really not 

good. But in the last year we 

really kicked off,” Jono said. 

Jono said The Subs write songs

A WOODEN spoon carved from 

a tree in Abberley Park has been

Friends of Abberley Park 

group member Douglas Horrell 

carved the spoon from a piece of 

Tasmanian blackwood, which was 

removed from the park after the 

tree was found to be diseased. 

The spoon was hand-carved 

from green wood with an axe and 

sharp knives. 

It was finished with natural oil

“He gives me a lot of tips and

and no sandpaper was required. 

The carving skill is 

called green woodworking, 

a tradition that 

pre-dates industrialised 

saw-milling. 

Mr Horrell said 18th 

century Windsor chairs 

from Berkshire, England, 

were the most famous 

example of the carving 

technique. They were made from 

green timber before being assembled 

and shipped to London. 

Mr Horrell also runs classes at 

the Christchurch Arts Centre for

progression that builds to loud, 

Jono said. “By the end of the set, 

my face had gone fully red and 

I was just about to pass out,” he 

said. 

For now, The Subs are focusing 

on getting into the national 

Smokefreerockquest final. 

The top two acts in the band 

and solo/duo categories will 

now vie for selection for one of 

30 places in the national final 

on September 22 in Auckland. 

To get there, they need to 

create and submit a four-song 

video. 

Run77 will also put together 

a video for judging ahead of 

the national final as they get

year’s final.

Abberley Park member Patricia

Life of an orphan in 1913 Papanui 

Papanui Heritage Group 

chairman Murray Williams 

writes about dealing with 

vulnerable children in the 

area in 1913 

IN OUR era when vulnerable 

children are the specific concern 

of a Government ministry, it is 

interesting to reflect on the way 

in which neglected children were 

treated a century ago. 

One particular local case, first 

reported in the Press on October 

10, 1913, aroused considerable 

interest to the extent that the 

details were also published in 

the Otago Witness, the Taranaki 

Herald and the Marlborough 

Express. 

A seven-year-old boy had 

appeared in the Christchurch 

Juvenile Court as the subject of 

a hearing; it was alleged that he 

‘was not under proper control.’ 

INSTITUTION: The Presbyterian Orphanage in Blighs Rd was 

home to ‘endangered’ children 

A police spokesman told the 

magistrate that the boy’s father 

was “a dirty, good-for-nothing 

loafer” who had taught his son to 

beg, take part in petty crime and 

was not concerned when the boy 

stayed out overnight. 

The boy had been picked up 

several times by the police who 

eventually delivered him to 

the Presbyterian Orphanage in 

Blighs Rd. 

This institution had been 

opened a year before and 

although the boy was not an 

orphan, the Reverend Fred Rule 

had been prepared to admit 

him, as one of the institution’s 

objectives was to offer care to 

‘endangered’ children. 

However, life in the orphanage 

did not appeal to this artful 

dodger. 

In spite of being given a bath, a 

set of new clothes and a haircut, 

he absconded from the institution 

and was observed begging 

for pennies in Blighs Rd. 

This episode was the background 

to his appearance in 

court. 

When asked by the magistrate 

what he wanted to do with his 

life, the answer was to “become 

a burglar and to shoot the Reverend 

Rule.” 

In spite of this, the reverend 

saw much good in the young 

reprobate, describing him as “a 

warrior. The brightest specimen 

I have ever had to deal with – 

good material going to waste.’ 

Eventually the boy was sent 

north to the Stoke Presbyterian 

Orphanage, presumably to move 

him further away from the 

influence of his dysfunctional 

family. 

This episode, while tragic, does 

reveal that, in an era when there 

was no central Government 

machinery to deal with such a 

case, co-operation between the 

police, the courts and a churchbased 

orphanage network 

worked to provide an ad hoc 

solution that may have given the 

boy a chance for a better future.

Role model visits Rangi Ruru 

AN INFLUENTIAL speaker 

who received praise and a 

laugh from the Queen spoke 

to Rangi Ruru Girls’ School 

students last week, encouraging 

them to follow careers paths 

in which women are less 

prominent. 

Alexia Hilbertidou, 19, was 

told by Queen Elizabeth that 

she is “doing good work” when 

she received a Queen’s Young 

Leaders Award last month. 

When she was 16, Ms 

Hilbertidou founded GirlBoss, a 

women’s network of more than 

8000 members. It encourages 

women into science, technology, 

arts and maths careers and 

leadership positions. 

The Queen chuckled when

market index – have more chief 

executives named John than it 

has women chief executives. She 

said she was striving to change 

that. School principal Sandra 

Hastie said the visit was exciting 

for the students. 

“We know about Alexia, our 

girls know who she is and how 

influential this amazing young 

woman is. We all need positive 

and inspiring role models. Alexia 

is one of ours,” Dr Hastie said. 

Ms Hilbertidou recently 

returned from a mission with 

NASA, and was named a top 30 

global teen leader and the most 

influential New Zealand woman 

under the age of 25 at the 2016 

Westpac Women of Influence 

Awards. 

As a public speaker, she 

has spoken to more than 

20,000 people from corporate 

offices, Government agencies 

and schools over the past 18 

months. 

Harewood School pupils took part in a whole school production to show what they have 

learnt about the history of the Harewood area. An audience of more than 550 attended 

the production called A Journey to Harewood, which was centred around a school reunion 

of the class of 2018 in 2037. The pupils learnt about pre-European settlement and what 

life was like for Maori and early settlers. They heard from local speakers and took trips to 

the St James cemetery, where the first school started. They looked at the gravestones of 

early settlers, recognising a number of local street names. They also visited the museum, 

Riccarton Bush and Ferrymead. 


SELWYN HOUSE School 

pupils have created a number of 

innovative projects as part of an 

international awards scheme. 

All year 7 pupils took part in 

the Royal Society Te Apārangi 

CREST programme, which encouraged 

them to come up with 

creative ideas, and 

solve science, technology 

and environment 

problems. 

A netball innovation 

created by Ella 

Griffin received 

positive reviews from 

Tactix netball players. 

Ella’s ‘shooting

camera mounted to 

a pole which counts 

the number of shots made and 

allows the ball to be returned to 

the shooter.

Christ’s College 

track star facing 

Christchurch 

School of Music 

a tough choice 

CHRIST’S COLLEGE track and field 

athlete Cody House is spoilt for choice. 

The sprinter, long-jumper and hurdle 

exponent is wanted at the Oceania Athletics 

competition in October and has been 

short-listed for the Youth Olympics in 

Buenos Aires later in the year. 

But he can’t go to both. 

“Usually I have I break over the winter 

but it’s ended up being really busy,” he 

said. 

“I don’t think there is a bad choice; it’s 

just about finding one which works for 

me.” 

While he makes up his mind, he is also 

contemplating 10 days on the Gold Coast 

this month where he will take part in the 

DownUnder competition, along with 40 

other Canterbury athletes. 

“This is going to be both a competitive 

trip and also a bit of fun because there 

will be time to look at some of the special 

features and fun parks, so it will be a combination 

of a holiday and a competitive 

event. I’m really looking forward to it and 

the competition that will be there from 

throughout Australia and the United 

States.” 

House is no stranger to international 

meets, having competed at the Oceania 

Athletics competition last year with his 

good friend and fellow athlete, Sam King. 

Two months ago, House went to Port 

Vila, Vanuatu, for the Melanesian Games, 

which acted as a trial for Australian and 

New Zealand athletes hoping to be selected 

for the Youth Olympics. 

He was third in the long-jump and 

fourth in the 200m and 100m.

The scholarship is for an NCAA division

by choice. 

“I did have an option to go to a division 

one school but I felt this was a better fit 

for me not only as a tennis player but as a

Aubrey, who splits his time between 

the Cashmere and Elmwood tennis clubs,

Continuing EduCAtion 


CWEA - More 

than just a course! 

The WEA opposite the Christchurch Art 

Gallery on Gloucester St, has been offering 

affordable adult education for over 100 

years. A recent survey of participants and 

tutors shows that it is about more than just 

the courses it runs. Kazuko who teaches 

Japanese arts and culture says “It’s my home 

away from home, a home of learning”. The 

homely feel and warm welcome you get 

on stepping through the door indicate an 

inclusive, caring culture - values which 

have long been held high at the WEA. With

FREE digital 

media course, 

with NCEA built in 

For those looking for a role that 

combines artistic and digital talents, then 

this outstanding, FREE, entry level course 

has just been announced by local Training 

Provider Trainme, for those wishing 

to pursue animation, graphic design, 

photography or digital media as a career. 

The course covers introduction to 

multi-media techniques such as video 

production, drawing, animation and 

photography. Students will create their own 

design concepts and collaborate with other 

students on creative projects. 

This course is FREE to students aged 16 

to 19 and they only have to have NCEA 1 

to join. Students without NCEA 1 can be 

admitted, if they show artistic or digital 

aptitude. 

“Many feel that school is not working for 

them or they left without qualifications,” 

says Rhys Pollard, Marketer with tertiary 

educator Trainme. “While not necessarily 

academically minded, they do have artistic 

talents and are very much into digital 

technology.” 

“This FREE six-month Trainme course, 

combines these in a very hands-on, 


practical way, giving them an intro into 

various digital media. This way, they can 

decide which direction to pursue as their 

career focus.” 

“As an NZQA approved programme, 

NCEA credits are built in, so if they apply 

themselves, they can graduate with a New 

Zealand Certificate in Arts and Design 

Level 2, as well as gaining credits towards 

NCEA level 1 or 2,” says Pollard. 

“NCEA results will depend on how many 

credits they bring to the course to start 

with, but as it’s a fun subject, it won’t feel 

like school at all.” 

Successful graduates from this 

programme could pathway into higher 

study in media arts, which could include 

graphic design, video production, 

photography or one of the many emerging 

digital-based careers. Places are limited, so 

students are encouraged to apply as soon as 

they can.

LICENSED SALES CONSULTANT REAA 2008 

Ok we know you’ve heard it all before - surprise package, bonus features... 

yeah, yeah! But this little unit has some quite unique extras that you’ll want 

to take a look at. Nicely located in St Albans, this ground floor unit has a 

generous, fully fenced garden. Sunny and sheltered this outdoor space gives 

the unit the feel of a much larger townhouse. Added to this the tandem 

garage has internal access, both the size and convenience of access being 

features you might expect at a much higher end of the property market. 

Living, and dining are spacious and open plan and the kitchen adjoins these 

areas with a breakfast bar between. The two double bedrooms are well 

separated from the communal areas and the bathroom incorporates space 

for laundry facilities. A heat pump in the living area ensures economical 

year round comfort. The interior is livable but certainly not glamorous. Rent 

it out as it is, or re-carpet for an easy overnight transformation. Perfect for 

first home buyers or investors, the extras on offer here are definitely better 

than a set of steak knives!
