GREAT NEWS for long suffering Bromley<br />

residents on page 1 today: The tide is<br />

finally turning in the long running war<br />

against the midges.<br />

And Janet Profit can take a lot of the<br />

credit for it.<br />

Janet, who lives in Shortland St, has battled the city council<br />

for years over the midges, which gather at the oxidation ponds -<br />

and then cause havoc for residents nearby.<br />

She has featured regularly in the Pegasus Post over the issue,<br />

which in my humble view has kept the pressure on the city<br />

council to come up with remedies.<br />

To their credit the city council has. The $300,000 which goes<br />

into fighting midges each year seems to be paying off.<br />

A good result all round.<br />

Call for better bird protection<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

MORE NEEDS to be done to<br />

protect birdlife around the Avon-<br />

Heathcote Estuary.<br />

The Avon-Heathcote<br />

Estuary Ihutai Trust says dogs,<br />

drones and<br />

people continue<br />

to be a threat<br />

to the 118 bird<br />

species, which<br />

call the estuary<br />

home, including<br />

godwits.<br />

Tim Lindley<br />

The Coastal-<br />

Burwood<br />

Community Board will now<br />

investigate what it can do to better<br />

protect these birds after trust<br />

members expressed concerns at a<br />

meeting last week<br />

The estuary became part of the<br />

East Asian-Australasian Flyway<br />

network last year, a network,<br />

which protects migratory waterbirds<br />

across wetlands in about 20<br />

countries.<br />

Trust member Tim Lindley<br />

said the birds, which used the<br />

estuary faced threats that people<br />

may have not been aware of.<br />

“Birds do see dogs as wolves<br />

. . . it’s quite important that<br />

they’re not disturbed by dogs.”<br />

Mr Lindley said the estuary’s<br />

proximity to the eastern suburbs<br />

in both the Coastal-Burwood<br />

Phone 389 3431<br />

and Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

wards made protecting them<br />

even more important.<br />

“The birds stop feeding for 10<br />

minutes when they are interrupted<br />

by humans.<br />

“Because this international<br />

flyway is in an urban area, it’s<br />

only going to get worse.<br />

“It’s dinner time for the<br />

birds and we need to keep it<br />

that way.”<br />

Board members agreed the<br />

signage currently in place telling<br />

people to be respectful of birds<br />

when around the estuary needed<br />

to be improved.<br />

Board member Linda Stewart<br />

suggested signage should give<br />

more specific information on the<br />

types of behaviour and activities<br />

that disturbed birds and how<br />

this could be avoided.<br />

No more midges<br />

•From page 1<br />

“When we had those 29, 30 and<br />

32 deg C days, we thought, here<br />

we go . . . they’re not next door,<br />

because I’ve checked with the<br />

neighbour and she leaves the light<br />

on at night time,” she said.<br />

“The thing is, they’ve actually<br />

disappeared.”<br />

City council three waters and<br />

waste operations manager Adam<br />

Twose told the Coastal-Burwood<br />

Community Board at its meeting<br />

last week, midge numbers had<br />

decreased by 36 per cent around<br />

the Bromley oxidation ponds<br />

compared to the midge season<br />

last year.<br />

Mrs Profit said though this<br />

was hard to believe, she had seen<br />

these results first-hand in the few<br />

months since summer.<br />

“If that’s working, keep going,”<br />

she said. “Where they’ve gone, I<br />

wouldn’t know.”<br />

The reduction was a result of<br />

the city council changing the<br />

technique used to kill midges<br />

around the oxidation ponds.<br />

Mr Twose said midge dredging,<br />

which involved mechanically<br />

dragging chains across the pond<br />

floor where the midge lay their<br />

eggs, had been much more effective<br />

than the strategy used<br />

before, trying to kill midges using<br />

chemicals.<br />

He said dredging meant midges<br />

were killed before they were born.<br />

Mrs Profit said she was happy<br />

for now, but would have to wait<br />

until summer to see if midges<br />

would return to her property.<br />

“<strong>May</strong>be now it is working, but<br />

the thing is, how long is it going<br />

to work for?”<br />

Though there was work still be<br />

done before midges were completely<br />

wiped out, Mr Twose said<br />

signs were positive for the next<br />

midge season.<br />

“I am confident we will see a<br />

better improvement next year,”<br />

he said.<br />

The city council has budgeted<br />

$300,000 a year between 2018 and<br />

2028 to go towards midge control<br />

around the wastewater ponds.<br />

•From page 1<br />

A city council spokesman said<br />

Hornby had also experienced<br />

far less damage to infrastructure<br />

compared to other parts of the<br />

city.<br />

In 2011, the suburb’s population<br />

was 8370. By 2018, it had<br />

grown to 9340.<br />

Mr Duff said there is some<br />

scepticism as to whether the new<br />

motorway will cause traffic in<br />

Hornby to drop, as cars travelling<br />

in from Rolleston already<br />

cut through Springs Rd before<br />

linking up to stage one of the<br />

motorway.<br />

In the association’s submission<br />

to the city council, he<br />

highlighted a recent report from<br />

The Salvation Army which interviewed<br />

Hornby residents.<br />

It said: “Hornby needs help as<br />

well as the other side of<br />

town<br />

. . . this area is growing<br />

too fast. It’s becoming a<br />

bottleneck.<br />

“The influx of new<br />

residents, businesses and<br />

activity since the earthquakes<br />

has added greater<br />

stress to our roads and<br />

surrounding infrastructure.”<br />

Mr Duff’s concern has been<br />

backed by residents’ association<br />

member Mark Peters, who<br />

described roads such as Amyes<br />

Rd becoming a “car park” in<br />

rush hour.<br />

Chalmers St, Shands Rd, Main<br />

South Rd have also been identified<br />

as roads needing improvement<br />

for congestion.<br />

Daily traffic count<br />

figures show Amyes Rd<br />

has about 13,600 vehicles<br />

a day, Shands Rd 33,400<br />

and Chalmers St to<br />

Main South Rd has 3500<br />

vehicles.<br />

Mr Peters said right<br />

turning arrows are needed for<br />

the intersections of Amyes Rd<br />

and Springs Rd, Carmen Rd and<br />

Chalmers St and Carmen and<br />

Waterloo Rd.<br />

CONCERNS: Traffic congestion has been a problem at these<br />

Hornby intersections.<br />

Riccarton Community Board<br />

chairman Mike Mora said he<br />

did not want to see a “knee-jerk”<br />

reaction to the problem until the<br />

southern motorway opens.<br />

City councillor Jimmy<br />

Chen said the extension of<br />

the motorway and the South<br />

be important in helping with the<br />

issue.<br />

He said city council staff will<br />

also conduct a traffic count<br />

and consider installing a speed<br />

bump on Waterloo Rd between<br />

It is due to concerns from<br />

residents about the number of<br />

To avoid potholes – Google it!<br />

Map being developed to<br />

indicate bumpy roads<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

WORKING OUT how to<br />

avoid potholes and bumpy<br />

roads will soon easier with the<br />

development of a website map.<br />

The city council is working<br />

on a new “roughness condition<br />

map” which will show the<br />

condition of each road, lane,<br />

street and drive around the city.<br />

Said city council planning<br />

and delivery transport manager<br />

Lynette Ellis: “The roughness<br />

condition map will identify<br />

how rough a road is, both as a<br />

measurable number, and as a<br />

description (eg good or poor).”<br />

Ms Ellis said the technology<br />

is used elsewhere in New<br />

Zealand and there is no direct<br />

connection between the map<br />

and the earthquakes as the map<br />

will be using recently measured<br />

data.<br />

“The driver for this is to share<br />

factual information concerning<br />

the transport network with the<br />

community,” she said.<br />

It will also be used to help<br />

inform decision-making city<br />

councillors and community<br />

boards make with regard to<br />

investing money and prioritising<br />

infrastructure.<br />

“Functionally this is using<br />

data that council already holds,<br />

and serving it onto the website<br />

via new software that has been<br />

made available via council’s<br />

geospatial programme,” Ms Ellis<br />

said.<br />

The map is intended to be live<br />

on the website later this year.<br />

The state of roads around the<br />

city remains a hot topic eight<br />

years after the February 22,<br />

2011, earthquake.<br />

Last year’s city council Long<br />

Term Plan was set to focus<br />

on the “basics” – setting out<br />

to prioritise improvements to<br />

roads and footpaths alongside<br />

wastewater infrastructure and<br />

drinking water upgrades.<br />

ROUGH: The city council is<br />

working on developing a<br />

map for its website to tell<br />

residents which roads are in<br />

the poorest condition.<br />

Yacht club<br />

to open<br />

next month<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

THE PLEASANT Point Yacht<br />

Club new clubrooms should be<br />

open by the end of June.<br />

Donations have seen the South<br />

New Brighton club’s budget<br />

stretch far enough for it to<br />

fulfil its ideal vision for the project.<br />

When completed, the<br />

clubrooms will include two<br />

buildings with toilet and changing<br />

room facilities.<br />

These will be joined by a<br />

decking area where spectators will<br />

be able to watch races.<br />

Yacht club member Alastair<br />

Burgess told the Coastal-Burwood<br />

Community Board excitement<br />

was building for the opening,<br />

with talks underway about the<br />

possibility of hosting big events<br />

such as the South Island Yachting<br />

Championships.<br />

Board members asked if the<br />

club would consider hiring out the<br />

space for events and Mr Burgess<br />

said the option was currently<br />

being considered.<br />

A celebration for everyone who<br />

has been involved in the project<br />

will be held at the clubrooms once<br />

they are finished.<br />

Funding<br />

boost for<br />

mentors<br />

A NEW Brighton mentoring<br />

programme has received $5000<br />

from an accounting firm.<br />

The donation went to Youth<br />

Alive Trust and was made by<br />

Social Currency, a new business,<br />

which donates 10 per cent of its<br />

sales to programmes for at-risk<br />

kids.<br />

Thanks to the donation, a New<br />

Brighton teenager with few<br />

male role models now has a<br />

mentor, New Brighton’s Paddy<br />

Caffell.<br />

The two get together each<br />

week to talk, go to the gym, skate<br />

and sometimes do community<br />

projects.<br />

Mr Caffell said he had some<br />

very tough experiences as a<br />

teenager himself and it was<br />

one of the reasons he was<br />

passionate about supporting<br />

young people.<br />

“I was being hit at home and<br />

I never had the courage to tell<br />

anyone. It’s difficult to see what’s<br />

happening in the head of a<br />

teenager, but I’m in a privileged<br />

role of walking alongside someone<br />

who I have built trust with,” Mr<br />

Caffell said.<br />

Quizmasters battle it out<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

MORE THAN 200 keen spellers<br />

put pen to paper at the Otago<br />

Daily Times Extra! Canterbury<br />

quiz at Christchurch South<br />

Intermediate.<br />

Pupils from schools across<br />

the city teamed up in threes<br />

on Tuesday and were tested on<br />

spelling, grammar, abbreviations,<br />

matching words with their<br />

country of origin and dictionary<br />

skills.<br />

Selwyn House won the year 5<br />

and 6 section of the quiz with 95<br />

points out of a possible 100.<br />

Their victory followed a<br />

suspenseful tie-breaker with<br />

Fendalton Open-Air School,<br />

which came second with a score<br />

of 94 points.<br />

The St Martin’s School group<br />

in third was not far off, with 93<br />

points.<br />

Selwyn House champions<br />

Penelope Sutton, 8, Amelia West,<br />

9, and Serena Mackle Bayley, 9,<br />

were ecstatic after their win.<br />

Penelope said the quiz was<br />

“nerve-racking but fun.”<br />

“The tie-breaker was the hardest<br />

part. We got really confused<br />

with one word – rhythm,” she<br />

said.<br />

The Cathedral Grammar<br />

School team won the year 7 and<br />

8 quiz with 86 points out of 100.<br />

11 and Tor Chiles, 12, “did not<br />

expect it” when their team was<br />

called as the winners, as they<br />

only practised once on the day of<br />

the quiz.<br />

Liam said the team got caught<br />

on one of the mystery questions,<br />

but breezed through most of the<br />

others.<br />

“The anticipation while waiting<br />

for them to read out the<br />

votes” was his favourite part of<br />

the event.<br />

Cobham Intermediate<br />

School and Christchurch South<br />

Intermediate were tied for<br />

second place at 81 points.<br />

Extra! editor Tricia Rowe was<br />

pleased with how the night went.<br />

“It’s the first time South<br />

Intermediate had run the quiz<br />

and I was really happy with<br />

them,” said Mrs Rowe. She said<br />

it was challenging making sure<br />

everything ran smoothly, but the<br />

support of South Intermediate<br />

Teams were chosen by their<br />

schools to compete in the<br />

Dogs have their day at The Hub Hornby<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

THE HUB Hornby hosted a<br />

special shopping evening to<br />

celebrate Mother’s Day for pet<br />

owners.<br />

The public could take their<br />

well-behaved pets to the mall<br />

from 6-9pm on Thursday, with<br />

some stores also allowing them to<br />

go in and shop.<br />

Said centre manager Jason<br />

Marsden: “So far the response to<br />

the idea has been very positive.<br />

We have hosted several successful<br />

pet shopping evenings in the<br />

past.”<br />

The pet industry in New<br />

Zealand is worth $1.8 billion<br />

annually with Kiwis second<br />

only to the United States for pet<br />

ownership.<br />

The rise of house prices has<br />

seen many millennials delaying<br />

having children so both partners<br />

can continue to work whilst<br />

they save a deposit or service a<br />

mortgage. Traditional babies are<br />

being replaced with “fur babies”<br />

and these pets are receiving a lot<br />

of care and attention. Shops who<br />

allow pets in store displayed a<br />

special “pets welcome” sign on<br />

the evening.”<br />

The history behind Mother’s Day<br />

Founder<br />

of the<br />

Christchurch<br />

Women’s Club<br />

Toastmasters<br />

Sheila<br />

Hailstone<br />

writes about<br />

how Mother’s<br />

Day began<br />

History tells us celebrations<br />

related to mothers have existed<br />

throughout the world for<br />

thousands of years, though<br />

the Christian celebration of<br />

Mothering Sunday was more<br />

about the mother church than a<br />

celebration of women.<br />

What is probably unknown is<br />

the woman who campaigned for<br />

our modern version of Mother’s<br />

Day would later denounce the<br />

commercialisation of this event.<br />

It took Anna Jarvis six years<br />

of campaigning in the United<br />

States to have a day set aside to<br />

honour mothers or as she put it,<br />

“the person who has done more<br />

for you than anyone else in the<br />

world.”<br />

Her own mother, Ann Reeves<br />

Jarvis, had been a peace activist<br />

caring for the wounded in the<br />

Civil War no matter their politics<br />

or which side they fought for.<br />

Then after the war, she began<br />

clubs to address public health<br />

HONOUR: It took Anna Jarvis six years of campaigning in the United States to have a day set aside<br />

to honour mothers.<br />

issues and helping women to<br />

knowledgeably care for their<br />

children.<br />

When her mother passed<br />

away Anna realised, in spite of<br />

the positive impact women have<br />

on society, their work for their<br />

children and the community was<br />

often overlooked.<br />

Anna’s Mother’s Day was not a<br />

commercial event, but was about<br />

celebrating the achievements of<br />

women and further reminding<br />

them of their power and what can<br />

be accomplished when women<br />

and mothers come together for a<br />

good cause.<br />

Time has not diminished the<br />

value of Anna’s message.<br />

Mother’s Day has become<br />

a date for launching political<br />

causes. The wife of Martin Luther<br />

King, Coretta used Mother’s<br />

Day in 1968 to host a march<br />

in support of underprivileged<br />

women and children.<br />

Then in the 1970s women’s<br />

groups gathered on this day to<br />

highlight the need for equal<br />

rights for women and access to<br />

child care.<br />

On Friday at 12.30pm,<br />

Christchurch Women’s Club<br />

Toastmasters is holding an open<br />

day at the Village Church on the<br />

corner of Frank St and Papanui<br />

Rd to celebrate the influence<br />

of mothers and women in our<br />

lives.<br />

CWC Toastmasters supports<br />

women to succeed in any<br />

venture giving them the skills to<br />

communicate their vision clearly<br />

and with confidence.<br />

Everyone is welcome to come<br />

to this meeting.<br />

Now<br />

Mum and daughter find a new home<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

ESCAPING A difficult<br />

relationship left Doreen Mihaka<br />

and her 17-year-old daughter<br />

homeless.<br />

Miss Mihaka’s mother had<br />

recently died, so the pair were<br />

forced to sleep in a car in the<br />

middle of winter for three weeks<br />

before finding emergency accommodation.<br />

They had to share a room and<br />

stayed there for six months.<br />

Now, they have a home at<br />

Housing New Zealand’s new<br />

complex at Eveleyn Couzins Ave<br />

in Richmond.<br />

She said this was life-changing.<br />

“We’ll be here forever . . . the<br />

home that we’re in now, we can<br />

actually call it home. We’re not<br />

going anywhere.”<br />

Theirs is one of the <strong>14</strong> new twobedroom<br />

units at the complex.<br />

Miss Mihaka said this was a<br />

world apart from the Barrington<br />

property she was living in just a<br />

few months ago.<br />

“It’s warm with double glazing,<br />

really, really warm. We’ve got<br />

our own spaces, she’s got her<br />

room where she’s got her TV and<br />

games all set up and I’ve got my<br />

space downstairs here.<br />

“We don’t have to share the<br />

same bed, we don’t have to share<br />

the same room. We’ve got our<br />

own stuff.”<br />

The new homes complete the<br />

second and final part of the<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

CONSTANCE AND her family<br />

couldn’t afford internet.<br />

After their previous plan became<br />

too expensive, the Linwood<br />

residents were thrown a lifeline.<br />

They are one of a number of<br />

families across Christchurch, who<br />

have received free wireless broadband<br />

as part of a programme to<br />

help those who can’t afford it.<br />

The programme was a partnership<br />

between Variety, the Children’s<br />

Charity, and 2degrees and<br />

was also being rolled out to 36<br />

new development, which also<br />

includes 23 one-bedroom units<br />

and a large common room.<br />

Their new living conditions<br />

would allow Miss Mihaka<br />

and her daughter, who was<br />

completing tertiary study, to get<br />

families with children at Bromley<br />

School.<br />

Constance said this would<br />

make a big difference for her children<br />

Chelsea, Nevaeh, Wairua-<br />

Terehia and her husband Dan.<br />

She said school had been hard<br />

for her children without internet<br />

access and they used to have to<br />

go to the library to get homework<br />

done.<br />

“It’s just hard because everything’s<br />

done online.”<br />

She said having access to internet<br />

again would help her family<br />

move forward in life.<br />

on with life.<br />

“I think our lives will be<br />

changed in a good way now compared<br />

to what I was in for years.<br />

The change is going to be good<br />

for us in the long-run as well.”<br />

“It means a lot to me because<br />

“It just takes a bit of the hassle<br />

off . . . it’s good for us because,<br />

with school work for the kids,<br />

they can do projects.<br />

“My husband wants to start<br />

a business eventually . . . it just<br />

helps to get our own stuff sorted,<br />

goals that we want to get sorted<br />

and we’ve got quite a few.”<br />

CONNECTED: Constance and<br />

her family are back online<br />

thanks to a new initiative<br />

providing free wireless<br />

broadband to disadvantaged<br />

families.<br />

CHANGE:<br />

Doreen<br />

Mihaka and<br />

her 17-yearold<br />

daughter<br />

have moved<br />

into a new<br />

Housing<br />

New Zealand<br />

home at<br />

Eveleyn<br />

Couzins Ave<br />

in Richmond<br />

after months<br />

of being<br />

homeless. ​<br />

me and my daughter have somewhere<br />

we can call home, actual<br />

home.”<br />

Residents and neighbours<br />

came together with Housing<br />

New Zealand staff last month<br />

to celebrate the opening of the<br />

new homes.<br />

Miss Mihaka said some of<br />

her new neighbours had been<br />

through their own struggles and<br />

a real sense of togetherness had<br />

grown as a result.<br />

“I’ve met all of the neighbours<br />

now and everybody’s happy and<br />

excited and they kind of came<br />

from similar backgrounds too.”<br />

“This is about building a community<br />

for our people, but it’s<br />

about building a community for<br />

Richmond and Eveleyn Couzins<br />

as well,” said Housing New<br />

Zealand area manager Fraser<br />

Benson.<br />

“With this space, it’s about<br />

making sure there aren’t two<br />

separate communities. We want<br />

our people to interact with each<br />

other and I can already see that’s<br />

happening, so it’s fantastic.”<br />

Rāpaki marks 150 years<br />

RĀPAKI CHURCH celebrated<br />

its 150th anniversary last week.<br />

More than 200 people<br />

gathered for a special service<br />

to commemorate the historic<br />

church, which opened in<br />

1869.<br />

Matua Douglas Couch, who<br />

grew up in Rāpaki during the<br />

1930s and 40s, said the church<br />

was a central meeting point for<br />

the community in those days.<br />

“We used to go there when<br />

the church bell rang. Sometimes<br />

we were down on the beach and<br />

wouldn’t hear the bell and if you<br />

got home at dinner and hadn’t<br />

been to church, you’d be in<br />

trouble,” he said.<br />

The small weatherboard<br />

church, which can hold 80<br />

people, has recently undergone a<br />

significant restoration.<br />

The church was closed<br />

following the earthquakes<br />

and the restoration work began<br />

last year after funding was<br />

received.<br />

The restoration included<br />

repairs to the south sanctuary<br />

wall as well as the replacement of<br />

the rotten main window<br />

with a replica of an earlier<br />

window based on an old<br />

photograph.<br />

The steeple was rebuilt<br />

with a shingle finish, which is<br />

likely to be what the original<br />

OPEN DAYS<br />

A supportive all-girl<br />

learning environment<br />

Selwyn House School offers a world-class<br />

education with a talented teaching staff<br />

and small class sizes which are set within a<br />

future-focused, nurturing environment. An<br />

extensive range of educational, sporting and<br />

cultural opportunities are offered for girls in<br />

Years 1 - 8.<br />

A supportive all-girl learning environment<br />

encourages girls to take risks without fear<br />

of failure and develops their love of learning.<br />

They become confident, compassionate,<br />

articulate and determined young women who<br />

have the values, skills, and attributes needed<br />

to not only achieve their goals but to make a<br />

difference in their communities. Our teachers<br />

ensure girls are inspired and committed to<br />

learning as they develop their unique way<br />

of learning and achieving. The focus across<br />

Years 1 - 8 is on the growth of the developing<br />

girl encompassing intellectual, social, physical,<br />

emotional, and cultural needs.<br />

Selwyn House is committed to providing a<br />

continuum of international education. The<br />

combination of the International Baccalaureate<br />

Primary Years Programme (PYP) and our<br />

future-focused STEAM and Mechatronics<br />

curriculum ensures girls are equipped to face<br />

a continually changing world with confidence<br />

and enthusiasm. We focus on instilling strong<br />

foundations which can be successfully built<br />

upon. Core learning in reading, writing and<br />

mathematics is a priority. Specialist programmes<br />

in Art, Creative Writing, Leadership,<br />

Mechatronics, Music, Performing Arts,<br />

Physical Education, Science, Spanish and<br />

SOUTHERN VIEW<br />

Swimming play key roles to further enhancing<br />

learning.<br />

Selwyn House provides each girl with a<br />

personalised learning experience. Each classroom<br />

and specialist teacher has the time to<br />

foster meaningful relationships with each student.<br />

Due to our comprehensive learning environment,<br />

our girls are highly skilled, stand<br />

out among their peers and are prepared for a<br />

successful transition to secondary school.<br />

Selwyn House’s nurturing environment is<br />

apparent in all aspects of the school. In our<br />

modern and safe, family-oriented Boarding<br />

House, girls are supported by dedicated staff<br />

and tutors. Girls from across New Zealand<br />

and internationally fondly call the Boarding<br />

House, their ‘home away from home’ and easily<br />

form a sisterhood with others.<br />

We believe in the strength of tradition, the<br />

promise of the future and the power of education.<br />

States Hulley was awarded<br />

the Dr Pat Wentz Student<br />

Award.<br />

THe prize is presented<br />

to an athlete from among<br />

the 12,000 strong student<br />

cohort, who demonstrates<br />

innovative, motivational<br />

leadership, impacting their<br />

academic, athletic and<br />

community environments.<br />

Hulley, 23, who is<br />

studying a Bachelor of<br />

Science majoring in<br />

exercise Science, moved<br />

from Christchurch to<br />

take up a swimming<br />

scholarship with the<br />

University in 2015.<br />

Since then she’s been<br />

three-time honourable<br />

have performed well<br />

academically while<br />

regularly competing for<br />

backstroke swims.<br />

Hulley said it was a<br />

huge honour to receive the<br />

Dr Pat Wentz leadership<br />

award.<br />

“UWF athletics, and the<br />

swim and dive team have<br />

allowed me to experience<br />

and achieve so much<br />

during my four years at<br />

West Florida. My biggest<br />

achievement as an Argo<br />

is being a team mate, so<br />

I am extremely grateful<br />

that my efforts to support<br />

and motivate each of these<br />

swimmers has made an<br />

impact.”<br />

The Dr Pat Wentz<br />

award was well-deserved<br />

recognition for Hulley who<br />

has been swimming since<br />

she was a toddler.<br />

While in Florida, she<br />

has consistently recorded<br />

high academic marks,<br />

while also regularly<br />

mentoring younger<br />

swimmers in the UWF<br />

swim team.<br />

Before leaving for<br />

Florida, Hulley swam<br />

with the Riccarton-based<br />

Wharenui Swimming<br />

Club.<br />

While Hulley won’t<br />

be spending five hours a<br />

day in the pool anymore,<br />

SCHOLARSHIPS & SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />

All new for Avonside<br />

at Ōrua Paeroa<br />

A new school, a<br />

new location, and a<br />

new uniform! What<br />

a fabulous year for<br />

Avonside Girls’ High<br />

school as a new<br />

chapter in the school’s<br />

90 plus year history<br />

is written this year.<br />

Avonside Girls’ High<br />

School moved into its new home on<br />

Travis Road at the beginning of term<br />

2, taking its traditions, culture, history<br />

and values along with a focus on<br />

working with every student to help her<br />

identify her strengths and develop her<br />

talents so that she can flourish in her<br />

future.<br />

Just over 1000 girls moved onto the<br />

new site in Travis Road to experience<br />

learning in New Zealand’s newest<br />

secondary school buildings. The<br />

campus which also includes a satellite<br />

unit of Ferndale School, is New<br />

Zealand’s first ever co-location of a state<br />

girls’ school and a state boys’ school<br />

sharing the same site and some key<br />

facilities and yet delivering teaching<br />

and learning within their own singlesex<br />

learning environments.<br />

One look inside the impressive<br />

entrance foyer reveals an exciting<br />

campus with fabulous facilities to<br />

enhance learning for students.<br />

In the front section of the school<br />

lie the shared facilities, boasting the<br />

reception and administrative centre<br />

for both schools, a spacious library, a<br />

cultural space, two theatres, a cafeteria<br />

with indoor and outdoor seating, and<br />

student kitchen facilities alongside a<br />

commercial kitchen for teaching senior<br />

Hospitality courses.<br />

The design of the school then<br />

separates into two separate schools each<br />

designed around its own courtyard.<br />

The school is organised by learning<br />

areas, denoting the school’s support<br />

of subject discipline knowledge<br />

and skills, yet with adjacencies that<br />

provide opportunities for learning to<br />

be connected across learning areas for<br />

students.<br />

Avonside supports the development<br />

of the whole student with a strong<br />

ako programme delivered within a<br />

vertical form structure and wonderful<br />

opportunities for involvement beyond<br />

classroom learning time. The superb<br />

facilities in the new campus certainly<br />

enhance those opportunities for our<br />

students.<br />

Avonside Girls’ High School has<br />

embraced this opportunity to provide<br />

this exciting new brand of 21st century<br />

style single-sex education – the best of<br />

both worlds!<br />

We welcome interested students and<br />

their families to come and visit the<br />

campus on our Open Night.<br />

Shirley Boys’ High<br />

School at Ōrua Paeroa<br />

Finally after 8 years of<br />

unstinting effort, Shirley<br />

Boys’ is in its new home,<br />

one that features state<br />

of the art facilities for<br />

teaching and learning in<br />

the 21st Century.<br />

The new campus<br />

features a Performing<br />

Arts Centre, full size all<br />

weather turf, sports fields, the largest school<br />

gymnasium in the city as well as traditional<br />

classrooms and modern flexible spaces<br />

designed to meet the needs of all of its 1250<br />

young Shirley men.<br />

Shirley Boys’ High School,<br />

Kiwi Soul Global Vision<br />

At Shirley Boys’ High School, students<br />

are encouraged to participate in a vast<br />

array of sporting and cultural activities<br />

and in all of these areas they are expected<br />

to prepare themselves for action and<br />

success on the world stage, while also<br />

being encouraged to retain and strengthen<br />

their own cultural roots.<br />

Shirley Boys’ High School encourages<br />

students to strive for personal excellence.<br />

Learning occurs both inside and outside<br />

the classroom, reflecting the desire of the<br />

school to focus on teaching the whole<br />

person to ensure a lifelong desire for<br />

self-improvement. At Shirley Boys’ this<br />

is known as “BTB – Better than Before”.<br />

BTB leads to achievement, which can<br />

be as modest as getting fit for a sport or<br />

improving a test score or learning to sing<br />

in a choir. BTB can also be as spectacular<br />

as achieving a Premier New Zealand<br />

Academic Scholar Award (awarded to the<br />

Top 10 academic students in NZ).<br />

We look forward to welcoming<br />

prospective students and families to our<br />

Open Night, Thursday 23 <strong>May</strong> at 6.30-<br />

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS<br />

Tyres, rims and even<br />

great coffee<br />

Word of mouth is the best<br />

recommendation for any business, and there<br />

is a raft of customers happy to recommend<br />

JCM Direct Tyres in Middleton. The<br />

independent, family-owned and operated<br />

business supplies tyres, mags and rims and<br />

it is clear from their feedback that they<br />

provide ‘outstanding customer service,’<br />

‘really know what they are doing,’ and even<br />

provide ‘tasty coffee.’<br />

Reviews like these are hard-won, with<br />

the emphasis being on making sure they<br />

go the extra mile to really meet the needs<br />

of the client. As an independent dealer,<br />

they are not tied to a specific brand.<br />

Instead, they will look at your vehicle,<br />

your budget and your driving style to<br />

provide you with what you need instead<br />

of what the franchise wants you to have.<br />

This can be brand new tyres such as Pirelli,<br />

Continental, GT Radial and Nankang, or<br />

high end, almost-new second hand tyres<br />

in mint condition, often the same brand<br />

names as the new options. The JCM team<br />

wants to know their customers are leaving<br />

them with their vehicles, from caravans to<br />

European<br />

utes, that are safe on the roads.<br />

They will give you their honest opinion<br />

and expertise about what you need too.<br />

It could be more cost effective in the long<br />

run to spend a little more a quality tyre and<br />

reduce the risk of punctures on the Garden<br />

City’s rebuild roads, and if you do have a<br />

puncture, they can repair it quickly and<br />

efficiently.<br />

It is not only tyres – they supply rims<br />

from the 1930s to the present day. If you<br />

are lucky enough to own a classic vehicle,<br />

you will know how difficult it can be to<br />

find authentic parts, and the JCM team will<br />

help you source what you need.<br />

They also provide alloy wheels, spare<br />

wheels plus wheel and tyre combo packages<br />

to make their excellent products even more<br />

affordable. They are even able to help you<br />

with finance options.<br />

Open six days a week, you can find<br />

them at 8c Birmingham Drive on the<br />

corner with Hands Road. Check them<br />
