Celebrate Matariki with<br />
Tīrama Mai light show<br />
CHECK OUT new<br />
commissioned artworks, take<br />
home a free tree, and soak<br />
in the city sights illuminated<br />
by Tīrama Mai this Puaka-<br />
Matariki.<br />
The city council’s annual<br />
Tīrama Mai event starts at the<br />
weekend, celebrating Puaka-<br />
Matariki in the heart of the city.<br />
Te Matatiki Toi Ora The Art<br />
Centre, Te Pae and Riverside<br />
Market will feature a range of<br />
art and lighting installations<br />
each evening from 5pm until<br />
10pm, from tomorrow until<br />
Sunday, <strong>June</strong> 30.<br />
City council manager of<br />
events and arts Lucy Blackmore<br />
said the annual event, which<br />
celebrates the Puaka and Matariki<br />
stars through art and light<br />
installations, projections, music<br />
soundscapes and storytelling is<br />
always evolving with new commissioned<br />
works.<br />
“An installation of<br />
Papatūānuku, titled MOTHER,<br />
will stand four metres high and<br />
two metres wide, featuring a<br />
stunning design by Xoë Hall, lit<br />
up from inside,” Blackmore said.<br />
It will be in the North Quad of<br />
The Art Centre.<br />
“We’ve also partnered with<br />
Trees for Canterbury to give<br />
away <strong>20</strong>00 small native trees<br />
over the festival. Planting a new<br />
tree in your backyard is a great<br />
way to celebrate the time of<br />
renewal that Te Tau Hou (the<br />
Māori New Year) brings, and we<br />
encourage people to take up this<br />
opportunity.”<br />
On select nights, the giveaway<br />
will be based in front of Te<br />
Pae.<br />
Te Pae has close to 10 installations,<br />
including new lightbox<br />
artworks and a projection animation<br />
by Ariki Creative.<br />
“Other giveaways during the<br />
festival include light-up yo-yos<br />
from our sponsor, Orion, for the<br />
young and young of heart, and<br />
a free sausage sizzle run by The<br />
Hits FM,” Blackmore said.<br />
There will also be storytelling<br />
and kapa haka performances on<br />
select nights. The “test night” for<br />
Tirama Mai is this evening.<br />
The Arts Centre will be<br />
hosting a number of events,<br />
including Te Waiatatanga Mai<br />
o Te Atua (Song of the Gods),<br />
a brand-new exhibition at the<br />
Observatory tower which tells a<br />
version of the Ngāi Tahu creation<br />
story, as written down in<br />
1849 by Matiaha Tiramōrehu.<br />
The Matariki Midwinter<br />
Celebration invites attendees to<br />
honour a loved one who made<br />
a significant impact this year,<br />
while the two-night Garden<br />
City Mākete will feature local<br />
artisans, live performances, and<br />
food offerings. There will also be<br />
kapa haka in the Great Hall.<br />

Matariki<br />
Matariki, the Māori<br />
New Year, is a time of<br />
cultural and spiritual<br />
significance. The<br />
annual event marks<br />
the appearance of<br />
the Matariki star<br />
cluster, also known as<br />
Pleiades, in the early<br />
morning sky.<br />
When these nine<br />
stars become visible, it<br />
signifies the start of a<br />
new year in the Māori<br />
lunar calendar.<br />
Matariki comes<br />
from the phrase<br />
“Ngā mata o te ariki<br />
Tāwhirimātea”, “the<br />
eyes of the god<br />
Tāwhirimātea” and<br />
translates to “little<br />
eyes”, highlighting the<br />
stars’ role as important<br />
markers of time and<br />
seasonal change.<br />
The exact date<br />
varies each year, as it<br />
is determined by the<br />
appearance of the<br />
Matariki star cluster in<br />
the predawn sky.<br />
But this year, the<br />
public holiday lands on<br />

Teachers run to raise funds for sick mum<br />
• By Jessie Curran<br />
TWO TEACHERS raised more<br />
than $1000 a day for each day<br />
they pounded the pavement.<br />
Thomas Tennent and Daniel<br />
Kahura ran 21km before<br />
work for 21 days to support<br />
Kahura’s sister, Kylie Kahura,<br />
who has stage 4B Hodgkin<br />
lymphoma.<br />
Kahura and Tennent both<br />
attended and now teach at St<br />
Thomas of Canterbury College.<br />
Kylie, 35, a mother of four,<br />
received her diagnosis in <strong>20</strong>22.<br />
Despite the all-clear after<br />
chemotherapy, her cancer<br />
returned with increased<br />
aggression late last year.<br />
“Now it’s just a waiting game,”<br />
said Kylie, who awaits further<br />
scans after she completed<br />
another round of chemotherapy,<br />
blood transfusions, and a stem<br />
cell transplant.<br />
The Sockburn resident is now<br />
enjoying spending time with her<br />
family.<br />
She said she was “truly blown<br />
away” by the support from the<br />
pair and wider community.<br />
“I am just so grateful and<br />
blessed,” she said.<br />
Tennent, 33, proposed the<br />
idea to Kahura after reading<br />
a book by ultra-runner Ned<br />
Brockmann.<br />
“I was not an ultra-runner<br />
by any means, but I wanted to<br />
do something to make other<br />
people’s lives better,” he said.<br />
FINISHED: Daniel Tennent, right, and Daniel Kahura, back left, meet Kylie Kahura and her<br />
children PepaMo’ale, Eli Mo’ale, and Faith Mo’ale at the finish line of the final stint.<br />
Supported by family, friends,<br />
and the wider community, the<br />
pair trained for eight weeks<br />
before their first run on April 1.<br />
In the two months that<br />
followed, the high-school friends<br />
raised $22,000 through private<br />
donations and their Givealittle<br />
page.<br />
Kahura, 30, said he was<br />
thankful for the support<br />
and generosity of the community.<br />
“I feel super blessed for the<br />
3<br />
people who have shown their<br />
love and donated to help support<br />
my family.”<br />
But going into the running<br />
challenge, the pair were not<br />
without their doubts.<br />
“I knew doing them back-toback<br />
was going to be tough,”<br />
said Kahura, who feared<br />
he would fail the challenge<br />
after he experienced serious<br />
achilles tendon and lower back<br />
problems.<br />
Tennent, who gave up many<br />
hours of sleep and time with<br />
family, even experienced a<br />
severe case of rhabdo one week<br />
after finishing the last run.<br />
Rhabdo is when muscle<br />
breaks down, releasing contents<br />
into the bloodstream that can be<br />
life threatening if left untreated.<br />
“We made sacrifices and went<br />
through hard times to help<br />
someone who’s going through<br />
harder times than us,” said<br />
Tennent.<br />
He has now recovered.<br />
Craig Watson, head of<br />
supportive care for the Cancer<br />
Society Canterbury West Coast<br />
and Otago Southland, said the<br />
financial burden on families<br />
after diagnosis is significant.<br />
“I know of people refusing<br />
treatment because they have had<br />
to choose between travelling to<br />
treatment, or putting food on<br />
the table for their families,” said<br />
Watson.<br />
He said community support<br />
was vital to get families through<br />
a diagnosis.<br />
Kahura and Tennent said<br />
they were thankful they had<br />
experienced the of power of<br />
people.<br />
“It’s important to celebrate the<br />
small wins,” said Kahura.<br />

Students get insight into voyaging skills<br />
During the last week of May, 40 of<br />
our tauira went to Te Ana Marina,<br />
Whakaraupō harbour (Lyttleton)<br />
to attend the “Wayfinding for Life”<br />
Our Level 2 Early Childhood<br />
students focused on three<br />
essential aspects of a child's<br />
needs: nurturing, communication,<br />
and clothing.<br />
This project allowed them<br />
to interact and play with<br />
toddlers and young children in<br />
a supportive and comfortable<br />
setting. The experience offered<br />
significant learning opportunities,<br />
deepening their understanding of<br />
child development and care.<br />
This hands-on class highlights<br />
how practical, real-world<br />
experience can enrich students'<br />
education and better prepare<br />
them for future roles in childcare<br />
and development.<br />
programme.<br />
The students had the privilege to sail<br />
aboard the waka hourua (doublehulled<br />
waka), Hinemoana. This<br />
As part of this year's Level 1 Foods<br />
course, students need to develop a good<br />
understanding of hauora (health) and its<br />
four dimensions: taha tinana (physical),<br />
taha hinengaro (mental and emotional),<br />
taha wairua (spiritual), and taha whanau<br />
(family).<br />
They then need to reflect on how these<br />
dimensions can be affected by different<br />
activities they participate in.<br />
The key model of health we are examining<br />
is Te Whare Tapa Wha. Over the past three<br />
lessons, students have made the dough,<br />
accurately cut out the pieces of the whare,<br />
experience was courtesy<br />
of Te Toki Voyaging Trust.<br />
While on shore these<br />
students learnt how to tie<br />
a variety of knots, how<br />
and why each one was<br />
used, and identify and find<br />
these when on board.<br />
On board the waka, the<br />
students were taught<br />
how to raise and drop the<br />
rāwhara (sails), steer with<br />
the ‘hoe’ and tie down the<br />
‘kotokoto’ (boom). They<br />
were also able to explore<br />
the ‘riu’ (hull) and the paniwi<br />
carvings and motifs<br />
on the ‘kāraho’ (deck),<br />
learning the star compass,<br />
navigation, games, poetry<br />
and waiata.<br />
Kāpehu Whetū (star<br />
compass navigation) saw<br />
our tamariki fully engaged<br />
as they learned how to read each<br />
cook, and then build their whare.<br />
Students will be asked to reflect on how<br />
their involvement influenced their hauora.<br />
As those who have experienced the joy of<br />
building gingerbread houses know, things<br />
do not always go to plan, but they can<br />
always be covered in icing!<br />
Companies' support much appreciated<br />
‘whare’ on the compass.<br />
It was a sunny and calm day on the<br />
water and everyone thoroughly<br />
enjoyed themselves.<br />
Hydrotherapy pool sessions<br />
enjoyed<br />
Students from our Learning Centre<br />
are enjoying the Hydrotherapy Pool at<br />
Matatiki once a week.<br />
Rochelle, our learning assistant, joins<br />
the students every session and creates<br />
meaningful activities for them to<br />
enjoy. This includes races using floats<br />
and paddles, hopping the length of the<br />
pool, and group games such as 'Ringa-Ring-a-Roses'<br />
and 'What's the Time<br />
Mr. Wolfie?', 'Shark and Alligator', and<br />
'Sneaking up on Granny' also feature.<br />
Rochelle's enthusiasm rubs off on our<br />
students who are fully engaged and a<br />
joy to accompany.<br />
Thanks also go to learning assistants<br />
Dana and Caitlin, and Ben (youth<br />
support) who also add value to the<br />
sessions.<br />
Thank you to Wasteco for your continued support of Hornby<br />

A big thank you<br />
to Apollo Projects<br />
who is assisting<br />
Hornby High<br />
School financially<br />
and thus enabling<br />
our students to<br />
participate in<br />
sport to the highest level.<br />
Thank you to Caltex Hornby for supporting our<br />
Hornby High School students to play sport and<br />
achieve to the best of their ability. It is really<br />
appreciated!

Mental health mission for Tama the Tui<br />
• By Emily O’Hagan<br />
THE AUTHOR behind a new<br />
children’s book, Tama the Tui has<br />
been down for a while hopes it will<br />
encourage children to open up<br />
when they feel “sad and blue”.<br />
The book, written by Alvante<br />
Harris and illustrated by Maria<br />
Carroll, follows the journey of<br />
Tama the young tui who is feeling<br />
down but learns to share his<br />
feelings with friends and family.<br />
Harris shared his book with<br />
pupils from Our Lady of the<br />
Assumption School in Hoon Hay.<br />
Harris hopes it will encourage<br />
children to share their feelings.<br />
“Not only will it give them the<br />
tools to open up, but it might even<br />
give them the tools to be able to<br />
support people when they need to.<br />
“So, if a friend does open up to<br />
them that they’re not feeling so<br />
good, they’ll have the tools they<br />
need to actually be able to help<br />
them and support them through<br />
that,” he said.<br />
It is the first book Harris has<br />
written after completing his first<br />
draft in <strong>20</strong>22.<br />
He admits mental health is<br />
a difficult topic to discuss in<br />
New Zealand, but believes it is<br />
important for kids to learn about.<br />
“One thing that’s been common<br />
throughout my life, throughout<br />
my friends and family, is people<br />
aren’t very good at opening up<br />
and talking about their feelings,”<br />
Harris said.<br />
“So I figured that if you write a<br />
TEACHING: Alvante Harris shared his book Tama the Tui<br />
has been down for a while with pupils from Our Lady of<br />
the Assumption School who had plenty of questions for<br />
the author.<br />
PHOTOS: EMILY O’HAGAN<br />
book for kids, then they can learn<br />
early and get the tools they need<br />
to be able to open up when they<br />
need to.”<br />
And the idea seems to be working.<br />
He received positive responses<br />
from pupils who clearly<br />
understood its meaning.<br />
“Always tell someone when<br />
you’re sad so then they know.<br />
“I liked that Tama was sad and<br />
then his dad said to talk about his<br />
feelings and then he felt a lot more<br />
better,” one pupil said.<br />
Harris has also started an<br />
initiative to help spread his<br />
important message. For every<br />
four books he sells, he’ll donate<br />
another to an organisation,<br />
school, or mental health worker<br />
who could benefit from it.<br />
He has ideas for future stories<br />
but said his first priority will be<br />
getting Tama the Tui translated<br />
into te reo Māori.<br />

Cross country success for para athletes<br />
• By Sam Coughlan<br />
A GROUP of para athletes from<br />
Papanui High School have seen<br />
huge success at the New Zealand<br />
secondary schools cross country<br />
championships at QEII Park.<br />
Cody Lamond, Adi Pathak<br />
and Bronson Ditford swept the<br />
medal places for the junior boys’<br />
2km race in the T<strong>20</strong> classification<br />
while Lee West and Lachlan<br />
Oakes placed second and third<br />
in the senior equivalent, both on<br />
Saturday. Josh Rae won the senior<br />
boys T38 2km race.<br />
The T<strong>20</strong> classification is for<br />
athletes with an intellectual<br />
disability and T38 is for those<br />
with co-ordination problems such<br />
as cerebral palsy.<br />
Papanui High sports coordinator<br />
Sarah Lamb said giving<br />
disabled athletes a platform to<br />
shine has been a focus for the<br />
school in recent years.<br />
“We always enter our athletes<br />
into the para events,” she said.<br />
“We go to all the Canterbury<br />
secondary school events that offer<br />
the para events. We’re always at<br />
those events, and sometimes we<br />
are the only school.<br />
“The attitude of the staff is that<br />
just because they have a disability,<br />
whether it be intellectual or<br />
physical, it doesn’t mean they can’t<br />
run or they can’t play basketball,<br />
and that’s what I love about the<br />
Kimi Ora unit that we have<br />
and the events that all our para<br />
athletes do.”<br />
TEAM: Lee West, Cody Lamond, Toby Paterson and Oliver<br />
King after a race at the national secondary schools cross<br />
country competition.<br />
The students’ success was<br />
recognised when the regional<br />
relay teams were selected to run<br />
on Sunday. Of the eight chosen<br />
to represent Canterbury in the<br />
para relays across the junior and<br />
senior teams, seven were Papanui<br />
High students. Both the junior<br />
and senior Canterbury para teams<br />
won their relay.<br />
And the benefits go beyond<br />
simply sporting success.<br />
“What these students get from<br />
that isn’t just about the running or<br />
whatever it is they’re competing<br />
in, it’s all the other stuff that<br />
they’ve learned, giving them<br />
confidence that they’re learning<br />
life skills,” Lamb said.<br />
“They get that feeling of being<br />
included as a team because often<br />
students with disabilities don’t<br />
get the opportunity to feel like<br />
they are part of a team and they<br />
are included in things that other<br />
children their age are doing, so<br />
that’s a massive thing for them.”<br />
Papanui High were awarded<br />
the most inclusive school award at<br />
the cross country championships.<br />
Lamb said it was down to the level<br />
of inclusiveness promoted at the<br />
school.<br />
“Here at school and in daily life,<br />
our para athletes are included in<br />
the mainstream school as much as<br />
possible.<br />
“Daniel (Wordsworth, who<br />
placed fourth in the junior boys<br />
4km), as he was passing the para<br />
athletes, he was giving them a<br />
cheer, while he was running his<br />
own race,’’ Lamb said.<br />
“He was saying ‘come on, you<br />

Hornby restaurant offers more<br />
choices and familiar favourites<br />
Thousands of Christchurch families will<br />
have fond memories of enjoying the tasty<br />
food and friendly vibe of Valentines buffet<br />
restaurant, which was located for many<br />
years in the central city.<br />
A New Zealand-wide franchise<br />
operation, the business went through many<br />
changes over the years, then with new<br />
owners taking over the company six years<br />
ago, it gained a new momentum.<br />
A third franchise was set up in Auckland,<br />
its Rotorua restaurant reopened, and in July<br />
<strong>20</strong>19, Valentines Christchurch opened at a<br />
new location – Chalmers Street, Hornby.<br />
As company director Ron Lal explains,<br />
Valentines has a rich history in Kiwi culture<br />
and they wanted to retain that feeling of<br />
nostalgia, but with some new concepts<br />
added to the mix.<br />
“We wanted to offer our customers a new<br />
experience that’s up with the times, and<br />
with a modern twist on hospitality.<br />
“Customers have a lot more choice of<br />
food now,” he says, “for example you can<br />
choose your own meat, which will be<br />
cooked individually for you. We offer a big<br />
selection of dishes, seafood and desserts,<br />
and of course there are the familiar<br />
favourites that the children love, like the<br />
chocolate fountain and an endless supply of<br />
ice-cream.<br />
“We want to wow the customers and<br />
at the same time we want to create that<br />
nostalgic Valentines feel.”<br />
The Valentines tradition of a free meal<br />
for a customer on their birthday has been<br />
upgraded to a celebratory birthday treat<br />
and, of course, with the famous birthday<br />
song being sung by staff, too. Families are<br />
also invited to take advantage of the school<br />
holiday special from time to time. During<br />
the holidays, one child under the age of<br />
eight gets a free lunch if accompanied by a<br />
full paying adult. (T’s & C’s apply.)<br />
Valentines has always been seen as a<br />
100 per cent family restaurant, a tradition<br />
that the new Valentines team is keen to<br />
continue, but Valentines is also a restaurant<br />
for everyone, from families to couples,<br />
to friends getting together to celebrate a<br />
special occasion.<br />
Situated in the heart of the Hornby<br />
shopping precinct, not only is Valentines<br />
the ideal place for people from the Hornby<br />
community to enjoy tasty food and a warm,<br />
friendly vibe, it also employs local staff,<br />
who are treated well and therefore enjoy<br />
working there and giving their customers<br />
the best possible service.<br />
Valentines is open seven days a week,<br />
from 10am till late. Outside the buffet<br />
times they also do the popular Valentines<br />
Shareboxes, which offer a range of<br />
amazing dishes.<br />

Forester still an excellent all-rounder<br />
NOW THE ELDER statesman<br />
of the Subaru NZ family, the<br />
passing years haven’t diminished<br />
the appeal of the latest generation<br />
of the iconic Forester SUV, the<br />
perfect vehicle for active Kiwi<br />
lifestyles.<br />
Versatility, practicality,<br />
advanced safety technology and<br />
its go-anywhere AWD provides<br />
owners with the peace-of-mind<br />
and confidence to explore out<br />
back and beyond.<br />
Now almost six years old, it<br />
still remains a hugely capable and<br />
roomy SUV and was good enough<br />
to win the <strong>20</strong>18 NZ Motor Writers<br />
Guild car of the year award. It<br />
was a deserved winner of this<br />
coveted title with its already much<br />
admired symmetrical AWD.<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
Ratings out of 10: Performance 7; Handling 7; Build Quality<br />
7; Comfort 6; Passenger and Load Space 8; Styling 6; Value<br />
for money 8; Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating.<br />
Overall points out of 10: 7.5<br />
Like all vehicles, even the<br />
Forester’s most affordable<br />
iteration, the Sport has gone up<br />
in price by $7k since <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> and is<br />
now $46,990.<br />
The next step up the model<br />
ladder is the $51,990 X-Sport with<br />
its distinctive orange exterior and<br />
cabin accents, making it the real<br />
standout in the Forester range.<br />
Carrying the luxury model<br />
mantle, and with ease, is the<br />
Premium priced at $56,990.<br />
Hybrid options are offered from<br />
$52,490, and cost just $1k extra in<br />
the Premium. For this road test<br />
we check out the price-leading<br />
Sport.<br />
If a long new vehicle warranty<br />
is important to you, the Forester<br />
comes up short with just a threeyear<br />
unlimited warranty, leaving<br />
it languishing behind most of its<br />
competitors’ new vehicle stakes,<br />
where a five-year warranty is now<br />
the norm.<br />
Under the bonnet is a new but<br />
hardly ground-breaking normally<br />
aspirated 136kW 2.5-litre motor<br />
that continues to adopt Subaru’s<br />
signature horizontally opposed<br />
4-cylinder boxer engine layout.<br />
However, the new motor offers<br />
ample rather than an abundance<br />
of performance. It doesn’t<br />
take long behind the wheel to<br />
appreciate what a smooth and<br />
refined motor it is, especially<br />
Established<br />
since 1982<br />
during open road driving.<br />
Engine noise is well muzzled,<br />
although it sounds thrashy when<br />
worked hard at higher revs, and is<br />
a motor that doesn’t really enjoy<br />
the driver bullying it past the<br />
5000rpm mark.<br />
The motor drives through a<br />
proven Lineartronic Continuously<br />
Variable Transmission is one of<br />
the best all round CVTs in the<br />
mid-sized SUV class.<br />
This Forester is the roomiest,<br />
most versatile version yet with<br />
impressive cabin comfort and<br />
extensive use of quality materials,<br />
while those getting in and out<br />
of the vehicle will appreciate the<br />
wide door openings. A larger<br />
and wider cargo area add to the<br />
vehicles appeal and load carrying<br />
credentials.<br />
The suspension, in unison<br />
with the symmetrical AWD,<br />
offers confident and reassuring<br />
road hold on a range of different<br />
surfaces typical in this neck of the<br />
motoring woods.<br />
With its balance, poise and<br />
agility, the Forester is hard to<br />
ignore if you are in the market<br />
for an excellent all-round midsized<br />
SUV that thrives in our<br />
confronting driving conditions<br />
and weather. The ride tends to<br />
become a bit fidgety over high<br />
frequency bumps, opening<br />
the door for some unwelcome<br />
suspension noise.<br />
A class leading 2<strong>20</strong>mm of<br />
ground clearance means you<br />
will be going off road in places<br />
other SUVs would not even<br />
contemplate. This, together with<br />
the Forester’s X-Mode system to<br />
manipulate the AWD, and you are<br />
in a vehicle with genuine crosscountry<br />
capabilities, that could<br />
open up new adventures in out of<br />
the way places.<br />
