• By John Cosgrove
FINDING PEOPLE buried
under earthquake debris or
trapped in collapsed buildings is
what a select group of Canterbury
dogs train most weekends for.
They train so that should they
ever be called upon to use their
noses for real, they can do the job
quickly and safely in locations
that are often too dangerous for
their handlers to enter.
Staffed entirely by volunteers,
the Southern Training Group
for the Urban Search and Rescue
(USAR) Search Dog Association
often hold on-site training
exercises to get their dogs up to
operational status.
Mark Saunders from Parklands,
has been training with Odin, a
Visla Cross dog for the past year.
“I’ve always had dogs and I was
involved in rescue work after the
earthquakes so joining the dog
teams is an extension of this.”
Five dogs and their handlers
from the group spend weekends
searching for hidden victims
inside empty buildings and in
quarry piles.

FIND: Billy, one of Carol Ewington’s advanced
search dogs, lets her know he has found the
victim during a training session.
Heroic hounds ready to go
The dogs were either qualified
or working towards being
declared operational.
USAR national dog trainer
Colin Howard says there are only
six dogs nationally that are fully
trained for this type of work, as
it takes 12 to 24 months to train
a dog.
The training of search dogs
involves many hours by their
volunteer owners working to
teach them ways to search based
on smell or sound across terrains
as open as office blocks or as
rugged as debris piles.
Dog handler Carol Ewington
of North New Brighton looks
after three search dogs.
One is a qualified advanced
search dog, another a qualified
search dog and the final dog is
still in training.
“I’ve always wanted to be
involved in the search dog
programme, and I wanted to
help out locally where I can.”
She says for her it’s about
knowing her dogs are ready
and trained to help out in her
community when the call
comes.
Work to
start on
restoring
coastal
wetland
• By Dylan Smits
WORK ON environmental
development at Ferrymead
Regional Park and the
surrounding pasture will start
soon.
The $1.4 million plan will see
natural tidal zones reconnected
and more native species planted to
restore the area to coastal wetland.
“The development plan reflects
the council’s emphasis on climate
resilience and responding to the
ecological emergency,” said city
council acting head of parks
Rupert Bool.
The development area sits
between Tunnel Rd and Bridle
Path Rd, with the golf club and
heritage park located within.
Stage one of the development
will likely be under way early next
month at the latest, said Bool.
The pines along the Ōpāwaho
River Track will be cut down over
about six weeks to prepare the
estuary edge for the planting of
about 12,000 native species.
It will take about four weeks to
complete the plantings.
The lower Avoca Stream and
connected saltmarsh will then be
planted with more natives with a
start date not yet set.

Volunteer’s life-long passion
WHEN MICHAEL Gordon was
growing up, he had a lockable
cupboard in his bedroom where
he stored all the household
books and issued them to family
members on request.
Fast-forward 60 years and
Gordon’s passion for books
hasn’t waned. He volunteers with
Friends of Christchurch City
Libraries and enjoys meeting
others who love books.
“It’s a natural fit because my
background is in printing and
publishing, and I’ve always liked
promoting books. I love the
printed word,” he said.
The Queenspark resident
joined the library group six years
ago, after visiting the annual Big
Bargain Book Sale.
“I could see how much people
were enjoying being there and
buying books, especially children
– you see the joy they get
out of it.”
The library group supports
the book sale by supplying
volunteers each day. It sponsors
regular author talks as well.
Gordon has also taught computing
to people living with disability
at New Brighton Library
for the past six years, recently
moving from tutoring to managing
the programme. As one of
his children was disabled, it’s
something close to his heart.
“I lost her when she was
19-years-old. She was wellknown
around the libraries as
well, she was a social butterfly.
Maybe that’s where I get it from,
that social aspect,” he said.
New Brighton is his favourite
library.
“Just the ambience of being so
close to the sea and the sand.”
Gordon particularly enjoys
reading biographies, autobiographies,
history and travel.
“My wife tells me I have to shift
my library out to the sleepout
because we’re running out of
room inside.”
He “100 per cent” recommends
volunteering with the library
group.
“You’re working with likeminded
people who are also
PHOTO: NEWSLINE
passionate about books,
local authors and promoting
reading. You just have to want
to come out, socialise and help
other people to become avid
readers.”

fundraising
calendar
• By Shelley Topp
THE SPCA is calling on dog
and cat lovers to enter
their animals in the
organisation’s Pets of the Year
2025 calendar competition.
This year New Zealand’s
largest animal charity has
two calendar categories, cat
and dog, said the SPCA’s chief
executive Todd Westwood.
‘‘This is a chance to put
your pet photography skills to
use, and capture your furry
friend’s fabulous side. Or maybe
you have a gem already on your
camera,’’ Westwood said.
‘‘While the top 12 fundraisers
will be our monthly stars,
any pet profile which raises
more than $150 will be
guaranteed a spot inside
the calendar.’’
Every dollar raised as part of
the Pets of the Year competition
goes directly into funding the
SPCA’s work.
‘‘As your pet’s photo generates
donations, sick, injured and
vulnerable animals around New
Zealand will get the help they
need because of it,’’ he said.

Te Aratai College:
Celebrating Who Our Learners Are
A “culturally responsive pedagogy” is a term
that many outside of the education sector
may have heard from time to time but have
little grasp of what we are speaking to. What
this means for us at Te Aratai College is an
endeavour to deliver accessible teaching and
learning that values an individual’s culture. It is
a genuine attempt of our kaiako to recognise,
celebrate and utilise ākonga for their unique
and meaningful identities and backgrounds.
We recognise as educators our tried and true
purpose is to teach, but a culturally responsive
pedagogy also aspires to ensure all our
students feel their cultural identity is strong,
secure and fundamentally valued along the
way.
It can be seen and heard in the karakia recited
at the beginning of Tāhuhu classes. It can be
found in the cultural narrative of our building
names, gifted to us by Ngāi Tūāhuriri for our
recent rebuild.
Our commitment to cultural responsiveness is
also addressed in our practice of ako and mahi
ngātahi, a philosophy of not only sharing the
content, context and responsibility of teaching
and learning between student and teacher
but also in the wider community with ongoing
kōrero and consultation with whānau. Perhaps
the best example of this is our Wā Whakanui
conferencing we hold in Term 3 of every year.
These conferences replace the traditional
parent-teacher interviews where
whānau are given 10 minute intervals to
digest a student’s progress by individual
subject teachers.
Sāmoa students participating in preparing and
sharing an Umu to celebrate the culmination of
Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa - Samoa Language
Week. It is also found in Te Roopu Kapa Haka
o Kimihia, the school’s Kapa Haka group about
to depart for The National Secondary Schools
Competition. This group is a combination of 5
kura from around Christchurch, also including:
Christchurch Girls High School, Christchurch
Boys High School, Cashmere High School and
Haeata Community Campus.
Using this practice ensures we are upholding
the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and when
we succeed it benefits every learner. For all
ākonga, we must work to ensure they all feel
they belong within the learning environment
we provide and a sound, clear kaupapa is
shared with the community that is focused on
the potential of ‘all’ learners to thrive without
compromising who they are.
So what does this look, sound and feel like
in our learning community? In the classroom,
it is expressed through wānanga – decisionmaking
and learning practices that are
responsive to a range of relevant contexts. It
maintains, advances, and shares knowledge
and develops intellectual independence, while
assisting the use of knowledge regarding
āhuatanga Māori (tradition) according to
tikanga Māori (custom). This can be found in
our science classes where Y10 students learn
about genetics and cancer, and how singer
Stan Walker identified that the mutated CDH1
gene was expressed in his whakapapa.
Instead, Wā Whakanui is a presentation
delivered by our students to their whānau,
sharing and speaking to 3 pieces of their
best work. These are empowering, inspiring
presentations where the self-determination and
success of our ākonga is evident for their loved
ones.
Our commitment to strong community bonds
is also ever-present in events like our Gagana
The success from these competitions is
more than placing on the day, it includes
creating a sense of whanaungatanga,
personal success and a sense of
belonging and identity within the
kaihaka for all ākonga to be proud of
their culture and who they are.
A school is not an island where we prepare our
students for the ‘real world’ outside. A school is
part of that real world, where the experiences
and expressions are as real and lived as
anything that flows in, through and beyond it.
This is why we believe that a successful kura,
a school that delivers success for its precious
taonga, is engaged with the communities,
histories and identities of all that come to tread
life and experience into its busy halls.

Pasture will return
to its natural state
• From page 1
Heathcote city councillor Sara Templeton
said the development is the result of nearby
residents pushing for natural restoration.
“Making sure we have native species
thriving near the estuary is really
important,” she said.
Stage two will see tidal connections with
the estuary restored at five waterways which
flow from the Avoca Stream near Tunnel Rd.
This will encourage natural regeneration
of the pasture land west of the golf club
alongside planting wetland natives.
Work on stage two will start some time
next year, with the whole plan expected to
be fully implemented by 2030.
These projects will see most of the land
north and west of the golf club restored to
coastal wetland.
Bool said the city council has worked
out a transition plan with the farmer who
uses paddocks within the area for grazing
livestock.
“We will be gradually removing grazing
from the paddocks that can be seen from
the Tunnel Rd motorway within Ferrymead
Regional Park,” Bool said.
“Planting and retiring areas of the
paddocks will occur gradually and it is likely
that there will be some areas that are grazed
TRANSFORMATION: The Ferrymead
Regional Park area will be turned
into coastal wetland in a boon for
native plants and animals. Approved
in December, the plan will see tidal
connections restored allowing the
land to the return to its natural state.
until the site is fully developed as habitat.”
Bool said the phasing out of paddocks
over time will allow the farmer to make
long-term plans for new grazing areas.
The Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-
Heathcote Community Board approved the
development plan in December last year.

This has been another busy term at our
kura. We started the term by welcoming
French students from our partner school
for two weeks. Thank you to all our
families who hosted the students and
gave them such a great experience. Later
this year our students go to France to
spend time with the friends they met
and experience their culture. Sharing
culture continued to be a theme of the
term – with our choir performing at
Canterbury and West Coast Big Sing, our
chamber music groups at the Canterbury
chamber music competition and our
orchestra away on camp. Our showquest
team developed a student led dance and
multimedia performance about being
connected and not allowing technology
to take over humanity. The rock band
‘She Said’ continues to perform and
entertained us at Open Evening in May.

We are continuing to work on our
knowledge rich curriculum and giving
breadth to students. Our senior
programme, Haeranga, has involved past
students coming back to speak about
their journey and their current careers.
Year 11s are exploring careers, financial
literacy and healthy relationships. A year
9 class has partnered up with an expert
from Nga Hau e Wha in their work on
Harakeke in science. They have learnt
about how to be kaitiaki of the plant
and the process of weaving as well as
the science of its growth and place in
the ecosystem. Our staff continue to
learn to with a large group graduating
out of Levels 1-3 Te Ahu o Te Reo Māori
semester 1.
Winter sport has got off to a cracking
start. The number of students involved
in teams has increased and we are
grateful to teachers and parents who
are coaching and managing teams.
There is involvement in netball, hockey,
badminton, basketball, rugby and rugby
league, and football. A highlight was our
Football First XI winning the challenge
shield and continuing to hold onto it by
winning games each week.
