Prices start at $1.63m which includes the secure garage car parking.

“For our berth holders we are slightly amending the car park layout,” said Boersen.

“By using the existing car parking area more efficiently and by adding some further roadside car parking, we are able to provide our berth holders with the same number of car parks post-development as pre-development – albeit in slightly different

location.

“We believe the independent commissioner’s decision to grant the consent reflects the careful planning and thorough design process we went through in order to ensure the design was appropriate for the site.”

Legacy award for overcoming adversity ■■By Farida Master

T

hey are victors of circumstances and not victims. That was the message resonated at a well-orchestrated evening hosted by the Inner Wheel Club of Howick at The Lounge in Howick.

The highlight of the evening was a newly established ‘Leaving a Legacy, Dawn Johnston Koru Award’ presented to an inspirational couple Alan and Delwyn Breslau of the Burns Support Charitable Trust who have dedicated their lives helping burn victims globally.

Being no stranger to adversity herself, Dawn - who instituted the award - was diagnosed with a congenital disorder with led to the spontaneous dislocation of the patellas in both knees. This hindered her walking which later led to bullying at school.

Last year Dawn had a death scare as she was diagnosed with cancer.

Wanting to leave a legacy behind, both Dawn, who has dedicated her life to volunteering, and her husband Del, a Rotarian of 45 years, were motivated to establish an award based on the Inner Wheel theme for 2017/18 year-‘Leave a

Legacy’.

“We wanted to provide some means by which the principals that have motivated me through my life, could continue,” says Dawn, a foundation member of Zonta East Auckland and the Inner Wheel Club of Howick “My life has been full of challenges and this award pays tribute to a resident of Howick, Pakuranga and Botany who has overcome obstacles and turned a tragedy into a positively inspirational experience,” she says.

Alan and Delwyn were completely taken aback when their names were announced at the Inner Wheel event that also marked the change of presidents for the year.

For a 92-year-old who has been proclaimed dead twice and undergone more than 70 surgeries since surviving a plane crash — Alan is in great spirits.

A former chemical engineer on a business trip, he was horrifically burnt but refused to be a victim.

Instead he formed The Phoenix Society at a time when there was no support for burn survivors.

The Phoenix Society provides educational as well as peer support

and hosts the World Burn Congress is named after the mythological bird that burns up in its nest and rises reborn.

His wife Delwyn asked if she could have a copy of the speech as her husband’s hearing aid battery had gone flat and they didn’t have a spare on them.

“The Koru that signifies new life is very special to me,” she said, accepting the award.

Dewlyn, whose son also suffered serious burns when he was eight, met Alan at the Phoenix World Burn Congress and was inspired by the work he did.

The couple is currently planning a trip to the US for the next Congress in September.

“The Congress started with around 20 survivors but now we have around a 1000 turn up and they all look so happy. It is the largest gathering of burn survivors in the world that look forward to building a new life.”

It is their chance to connect with others on the journey of recovery from a burn injury.

“You will see people with no arms and legs but with big smiles on their faces at the Congress,”she says.

CPS happy with quarry outcome

Getting ready for a cook off Though the Eye on Nature (EON) competition was cancelled earlier this year due to bad weather, the Manukau Beautification Trust is still keen to acknowledge the hard work put in by local schools in the EON competitions.

The Auckland Botanical Gardens will be hosting the EON Creative Arts for the month of July.

The Trust is hosting the EON Cooking Competition on Thursday, July 5. The competition will be held in the foyer of the Botanical Garden Visitor Centre.

The five high schools competing are Botany Downs Secondary College, Pakuranga College, Saint Kentigern College, Alfriston College and Aorere College.

Also, the theme for the Eye on Nature Creative Art Competition for schools and preschool this year is Creatures of the Forest. The entries relate to indigenous creatures of New Zealand forest.

The Clevedon Protection Society (CPS) says it achieved the best outcome for the community in its long battle with civil construction company Fulton Hogan’s resource consent application to expand operations at Clevedon Quarry.

The long-awaited hearing, which began in December, was to determine whether resource consent could be granted to increase production from the McNicol Road quarry from 200,000 tonnes per annum to 3 million tonnes per annum.

Residents cited concerns over heavy truck and trailer movements which they say would increase from 100 per day, to 1306 per day. Locals claimed the roads were unsuitable to handle such heavy truck traffic and wanted the number of trucks on the roads to be reduced.

“Overall CPS is satisfied that it achieved the best outcome for the Clevedon community given the very permissive nature of the quarry provisions within the Auckland Unitary Plan,” a spokesperson said.

We faced an uncertain outcome if the matter was taken further to a full Environment Court hearing, although we were prepared to take that risk if an agreement could not be reached.”

Given the early gains made in the first two days of mediation, the CPS sought expert legal advice and ultimately determined that reaching a mediated agreement was in the best longterm interests of the Clevedon community.

“CPS is pleased that it appealed the commissioners decision as we have achieved significant improvements to the conditions

of consent, along with a significant reduction in operating hours and truck numbers, which was a fundamental outcome we were seeking,” the group said.

“CPS is now looking forward to actively participating in the Community Liaison Group which is being established to oversee compliance and to engage with the broader Clevedon community to help mitigate the adverse effects from the quarry expansion.

“CPS has established a strong community-focused organisation which is prepared to take action to achieve better community and environment outcomes.

We have a very strong desire to continue the momentum and to ensure that the unique character and rural environment of Clevedon is protected for future generations.”

One important matter which remains outstanding is the responsibility for long-term maintenance or upgrading of the roads on the quarry truck route.

This issue has been parked while Auckland Transport and Fulton Hogan seek to reach a resolution. If no resolution is reached, AT and FH will go to a hearing on this issue. CPS could maintain a watching brief and not take an active role.

Among the key gains in the agreement reached this month are that there will be no quarry truck movements on Saturday afternoon permanently, no quarry truck movements on Friday night and no quarry truck movements after 6pm each night, except for a maximum of 60 nights per year on Monday to Thursday nights.

ACRC teamed up with police recently.

Joining hands and discussing ideas on how to keep the community safe were nine newly-graduated constables, and nine volunteer Asian foot patrollers from the New Zealand Asian Council on Reducing Crime (ACRC) along with three police officers from Howick Community Police.

Together, they recently patrolled different areas of Pakuranga cautioning locals and shop-keepers on how to keep safe.

“It was a good opportunity for us to learn from each other,” says community constable Kevin Deng, in charge of the patrol that works in tandem with community worker Rosa Chow to garner support from Asian community volunteers.

“It was also good for the new police graduates to see the work that ACRC does and for the volunteers to work together towards a common goal of reducing crime in the area.”

Turning kids into guardians of land A conservation programme is being launched at Auckland Botanic Gardens in Manurewa on Saturday.

Everyone is invited to attend the public launch of the Toyota Kiwi Guardian sites in the Auckland region on Saturday June 30 from 10.30-2pm. It is a joint initiative between the Department of Conservation and Toyota New Zealand.

The goal of the conservation programme is to turn Kiwi kids into guardians of the land and sea, so that they conserve the fauna and flora of New Zealand in decades to come.

Bindi the conservation dog and Colin Christie (DOC dog handler) will also be there. A host of mostly-free family-friendly, treasure hunt-style activities at specific sites will encourage young ones to engage with the outdoors and, ultimately, earn themselves a medal for their efforts.

There are now 100 sites nationwide with the opening of four more sites in Auckland and eight action medals.

Since the programme started in March 2016, more than 12,000 kids have redeemed more than 25,000 medals after taking part in activities. ➤➤The four new sites are located at Omana Regional Park, Auckland Botanic Gardens, Pohuehue Falls and Fort Takapuna.

Ashes stolen from cemetery M

embers of a local family are devastated after the ashes of their loved ones were stolen from the Paparoa Cemetery.

A local woman Olivia Mitchell went to visit her grandfather’s grave last Tuesday evening only to find the bronze plaques of three of her family members had been pried off and the ashes taken.

She says while the plaques can be replaced, she is heartbroken that the ashes were taken as well and hopes they will be safely returned to her family.

“Our whole family doesn’t know what to do and are pretty wound up to think someone could stoop so low and be so heartless,” Mitchell says.

“We thought we were possibly looking in the wrong spot but [we] found old photos of us near the missing plaques and the two spaces where my uncle, pop and nana [had been] were empty. “[I am] absolutely gutted especially because it would have been my pops’ birthday today,” she says.

The family has filed a report with the police who are investigating.

They have also reached out to the Paparoa Cemetery maintenance team to see if they have any more information.

Senior Sergeant Peter Kaveney said police received a report that the family ashes and plaques were stolen sometime between October 2017 and June 19, 2018.

“Clearly, this must be a distressing time for the family and we sympathise with them,” Kaveney says.

“We appeal to the person or people who took the ashes and plaques to do the right

thing and return them to the cemetery.

“At the same time, if any scrap metal dealers come across the plaques, they should call police.”

Catherine Moore, Auckland Council manager of Auckland cemeteries says they take all issues like this very seriously and have asked the family to get in contact so council can investigate further.

This is not the first time vandals have targeted the Paparoa Cemetery.

In 2016, around 20 memorial plaques were stolen in an act of vandalism, pried off with what was believed to be a crowbar.

The urns containing the ashes of loved ones were left exposed before being temporarily removed by cemetery maintenance. ➤➤If anyone has any knowledge of this incident, they can call 250 2800. ➤➤Alternatively, anyone can make an anonymous report to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Thousands sign petition to save regional roads A petition pushing for a complete upgrade of South Auckland’s Mill Road has been lodged in Parliament.

Hunua MP Andrew Bayly and Papakura MP Judith Collins presented their petition on June 19.

It shows significant public support for what is a key regional roading project under threat because of the Government’s transport policies, My Bayly says.

The Government and Auckland Council plan to upgrade only the first part of the road, from Redoubt Rd in Manukau to Alfriston School, not the “entire road as we wanted to do”, he says.

“It’s going to be a road to nowhere and it’s certainly not going to help the thousands of people who every morning has to get on the Southern Motorway at Papakura or Drury or Bombay.

“If the Government had agreed to do Mill Road in its entirety, as Judith Collins and I had got the National Party to agree to, we would have been able to have an alternative route to get people up and down this part of the south.”

Bayly says National had agreed to designate Mill Road a state highway and invest $1 billion into the project. It would have four-laned the road from Manukau, around Papakura (taking in Stevenson’s new industrial development at Drury) to rejoin the Southern Motorway between Drury and Ramarama.

Collins says the current Government’s plan “is not going to work for us and we’re going to have to do better”.

Their petition was among eight lodged by the National Party. National’s transport spokesperson Jami-Lee Ross says more than 16,000 New Zealanders signed the petitions supporting eight major projects that Labour is set to abandon.

National is committed to ensuring the

regions are connected to the main centres, with better and safer roads, he says.

“However, in spite of having billions to blow on diplomats and free tertiary education the Government has ripped $5 billion out of regional roading projects to fund a tram in Auckland, placing these projects under threat and that’s not good enough.

The bucket-list marathon ■■By Therese Henkin

R

unning a major world marathon is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity many can only dream of.

For Steve Millar, it’s a dream that is about to come true.

In just a few short months, Steve will know what it feels like to cross the Central Park finish line in the New York City Marathon.

He will join over 50,000 runners on November 4 to tick the world’s biggest marathon off his bucket list.

But he will do it a little differently.

Steve will partake in the marathon in a specially-designed wheelchair, pushed by his brother-in-law Phil Moon.

On April 16, 2016 – aged just 40 – Steve suffered an extremely rare medical event, leaving him paralysed on the right side of his body and with limited verbal communication although he remains fully present in understanding what is going on in conversations.

His wife Tina Millar says she remembers the day of Steve’s accident like it was yesterday.

She says she has spent every day since making sure Steve’s life is just as exciting as it always has been.

“Steve has always been such an active bloke and I couldn’t just let every day be a repeat of the one before,” says Tina.

With this in mind, she set out to come up with ways to allow Steve to be active, despite his accident.

In 2017, Tina’s brother Phil Moon who

Theatre workshops a matter of trust Indian Ink Trust has received $3000 from the Mazda Foundation to enable students from Ormiston Junior College in Flat Bush to attend a production.

The trust is taking up residency at Ormiston Junior College to educate students on the arts through theatre workshops that cover set production, script development and mask and physical theatre.

At the end of the programme, the students will attend a performance by the Indian Ink Trust, where they will witness their learnings come together with the hope of inspiring a love of theatre.

Four arts organisations were among the seven recipients in the Auckland region to receive a total share of $27,000 in the first Mazda Foundation round for 2018.

The other arts focused recipients in Auckland were The Operating Theatre Trust, The Auckland Performing Arts Centre and the Auckland and District Pipe Band.

Outside of the arts, Sowers Trust received $612.92 for a gazebo.

is a marathon runner decided it would be great to have his brother-in-law take part in a marathon as well.

So they set to work organising and settled on the half marathon across the ditch in Sydney.

“This year we wanted to go one better as Steve absolutely loved it,” she says.

“We initially tried for London in March and got a place only to then be told sorry no athletes can be pushed, self propelled only.

“Disappointed, we tried for New York.”

To make the trip extra special, they are ticking a few other things off Steve’s bucket list.

Tina, Steve and Tina’s father will head to America together and go to Disneyland, followed by a Route 66 road trip to New York City.

They will meet Phil in New York in time for the marathon.

“I’m so proud of all he has achieved and that he is determined and driven. He has a big countdown calendar on his wall he crosses off every night and is so excited for this trip,” Tina says.

They are now trying to raise $12,500 to get Steve and his team to New York and also to help Steve continue physio and pay for his race chair.

Taking the plunge The annual Mid-Winter Plunge organised by the Rotary Club of Pohutukawa Coast was blessed by fine weather between the squalls.

Around 100 people braved the chill waters at Maraetai Beach. Many of them were in costume and were watched by at least the same number on the shore.

The event consists of a swim around a buoy placed by the local Coastguard and a shorter, but no less daring, plunge. The first male in the swim was Daniel Forsyth and female, Pip Cecksey. The best costume prize went to a family dressed as a horse, Robin Hood and Harry Potter.

Local MP Andrew Bayly gave away the prizes.

Organiser John Stacey said he was pleased with the turn-out this year.

“This event is, of course, very dependent on the weather and we were delighted by the number of brave people and sponsors who supported this long-standing Rotary community event,” he says.

Approximately $650 was raised by the Rotary Club towards youth on the Coast which seeks to help young people in the area.

Times photographer Wayne Martin was there to capture the brave ones making a splash as they took the plunge.

Blown away by generosity We smashed the target of $1000 and raised $2102 for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. A total of a whooping $640 was raised at Taffy’s Pink Ribbon Party hosted at Ormiston Cafe that afternoon from raffle ticket sales and donations. The donations we received from the community were so, so amazing, I couldn’t believe the beauty and generosity that surrounds us here in East Auckland.

Ormiston Café generously donated $175 to Pink Ribbon!

I was blown away by the generosity and support as New World Botany donated an amazing food hamper packed with goodies; Sky City donated some really outstanding prize packs; Dunkin Donuts Head Office donated 4 x 6 pack vouchers of donuts; Carmen Hui Beauty donated over $2000 worth of gifts for massages, make up and facial treatments; Esthy

Thank you very much, for the article on the Botany and Flat Bush Ethnic Association in the Botany and Ormiston Times. It’s wonderful when a local community newspaper promotes local news.

It is heartening to know that after reading the article there are more ethnic groups interested in joining us. We were also contacted by Salvation Army, Flat Bush, MIT project advisor and other Indian group.

We look forward to having more English speaking Ethnic members join the association which is which is very inclusive and promotes well being and harmony in the community.

After neighbours taking time and effort to create a stream environment to encourage wildlife and a working ecosystem, it is very disheartening to see the roughshod approach that the council has taken in its maintenance of this waterway.

This maintenance takes no consideration of efforts made to beautify nor the establishment of Wai Ora which aims to foster a community that cares for our freshwater and coastal environments.

The Unitary Plan also has an objective of enhancing and protecting freshwater systems.

Instead of treating this water as an ecosystem, its treatment appeared to treat the stream simply as a culvert. How disappointing.

IC Angelo Ave, Howick

Council responds: This is urgent emergency work that we are carrying out following a flooding event over Queen’s Birthday weekend, which was significant in this catchment.

The stream blocked due to earth erosion and a collapsed retaining wall.

We received several flooding complaints and health and safety concerns from residents in the area.

At this stage the works are focusing on clearing and restoring the flood flow passage and the associated downstream walkway culvert upgrade works. As part of this, the popular school walkway is currently closed until our work is completed.

Normally we would not carry out these works during winter, however in this case it is required to prevent further flooding.

OPINION

Government’s housing plan in disarray

With Simeon Brown

D

uring the election, the Labour Party campaigned on a promise of building 100,000 new houses over the next 10 years in addition to what was already going to be built.

It’s become clear over their first nine months in charge that this was purely meant as a headline-grabber and was never properly thought out.

KiwiBuild was first announced in 2012, so you would think Labour has had plenty of time to figure out the details and should have hit the ground run-

ning upon their election into government. So far though, all we’ve seen is an endless plea for help from the private sector as Housing Minister Phil Twyford realises there’s simply no other way to fulfil his goal.

Given the Government’s reliance on working groups and reviews, it should come as no surprise that they can’t sort this one out on their own either.

Recent reports suggest only 18 KiwiBuild homes are currently under construction and at this rate Labour won’t get anywhere near the 100,000 homes they’ve

promised.

When National left office last year, 200,000 new homes were forecast to be built over the next six years, but this progress is now at risk as the construction sector deals with the confusion caused by the new Government’s policies.

In addition to Phil’s KiwiBuild pipedream, the Government’s plans to drastically limit foreign investment and immigration is beginning to stall construction. This is even more confusing when you consider the Government’s admission

Simeon SAYS

that apartment developments underwritten by the taxpayer will include apartments that can be sold to foreigners – something this Government has railed against for years.

Phil Twyford and Labour promised to build 100,000 affordable homes for New Zealanders - an admirable goal – but sadly all they have provided is confusion and inaction.

“With spider veins, often hormones, environmental damage and ageing are contributing factors,” he says.

Winter is here, the air is crisp, and layers are a must.

So if you’ve been suffering from painful varicose and unsightly spider veins, there’s no better time to get them treated using sclerotherapy or laser at Skinsite.

Veteran dermoscopist and dermatologic surgeon, Dr Anthony Tam of Skinsite, says getting your veins treated in winter will not only give your more energy and alleviate aching or pain, but come summertime you’ll be shorts weather ready.

Skinsite offers ultrasound guided sclerotherapy where problem veins are found and injected with a solution which irritates the vein wall and forms scar tissue. .

Within time the scar tissue is absorbed by the body and the veins disappear, Dr Tam says.

“I have patients often asking about what permanent treatments are out there for painful and unsightly veins, and with new technology we now have a straightforward treatment for many types of veins,” he says.

Expressions of interest sought for off-site manufacturing factories T

Innovative new products used in off-site manufacturing such as cross-laminated timber can dramatically speed up the time it takes to build houses – an estimated two to four times faster.

Off-site manufacturing is significantly more productive so more homes can be built from the available workforce, he said.

“It will help address some of the constraints the construction sector faces until we can train enough local builders.

to five months instead of 14-18 months,” Twyford said.

“PrefabNZ said earlier this year that off-site factory-built houses and apartments could see more than 7000 additional homes build every year from 2020.

“Ultimately, this could mean we see large-scale factories established in New Zealand, working alongside existing off-site manufacturing companies and creating more jobs, more skills and more houses.

“Off-site manufacturing will be a game changer for New Zealand housing.”

However National’s Housing and Urban Development spokesperson Judith Collins said Twyford has thrown in the towel on his promise his Government would build 100,000 houses with yet another plea to the private sector for help.

“Mr Twyford’s announcement today (Saturday) that he would ‘invite companies to express their interest in setting up or expanding off-site manufacturing factories’ for houses is nothing more than another idea on the never-never, and another admission he can’t deliver on his promises.

“It’s not that pre-fabrication is a bad idea, and National supports efforts to build more houses.

“But KiwiBuild was first announced in 2012. Now six years later and after eight months in Government his grand plan amounts to a plea to the private sector to bail him out at some point down the track.”

She said after six years and eight months Twyford couldn’t answer basic questions like how the industry would be funded, how the industry and buyers would get around bank lending restrictions, how he would free up land to build houses on and how he would get around his Government’s immigration chaos to find the construction workforce needed.

“His only hope is that the private sector he has so consistently disparaged will have the answers.

Given this Government’s reliance on reviews and working groups – more than 120 and counting - that’s not surprising,” said Collins.

“Mr Twyford has spent years claiming he would build 100,000 affordable houses for New Zealanders, no ifs or buts. Now his KiwiBuild pipedream has descended into farce.”

he Government will invite companies to express their interest in setting up or expanding off-site manufacturing factories to make KiwiBuild homes, Housing and Urban Development Minister Phil Twyford announced at the weekend.

“Cabinet has decided the Government will seek interest from both local and overseas companies to come forward with their plans,” Twyford says.

One of the challenges for KiwiBuild is there isn’t the scale and capacity in the construction sector to build the number of houses New Zealand needs.

“Since KiwiBuild launched in November, we’ve been approached by a number of highly capable international and domestic companies who are already using innovative methods such as off-site manufacturing to build quality houses quicker and more efficiently,” he said.

“High-tech manufacturing of homes, as is done in Europe and North America, could allow us to build KiwiBuild homes at scale and pace.”

Meanwhile Hao Chen Li, Year 13, (former student Board of Trustee rep) was chosen by the selectors of the National Schools Shakespeare Production (NSSP) for his performance in the Macbeth extract Hao Chen was chosen at the National festival and is one of only 46 performers and two technical students selected from the entire country.

The NSSP is a week-long theatre intensive in which the students from all over New Zealand work on abridged versions of three different Shakespeare play with three renowned directors culminating in two public performances. The week long ‘live-in’ intensive takes place in the holidays after term three.

From this group of 48 students, 24 are then chosen to form the SGCNZ Young Shakespeare Company, which travels to the Globe in 2019.

HOWICK PRIMARY SCHOOL Inspiring confident life long learners

Howick Primary School is very focused on ensuring students transition successfully from their Early Childhood Education into the Primary School setting. While acknowledging our children come from a wide variety of pre-schools who support an effective move to school, we believe that the opportunity to come and “try before you buy” is a great way to ensure a smooth entry into the school.

Sunflowers is our special programme, which operates on a Friday morning with the New Entrant teacher setting up the room so visiting children and their parents can come and experience the classroom for up to four sessions prior to starting.

At the start, “visitors” sit together with the rest of the students on the mat and quickly become part of the class as the teacher includes them in an activity. When the time

comes the morning break, they join the established students eating morning tea and playing on the brand new playground. The session ends when the bell rings at 11am and everybody returns to class.

Sunflowers has enabled our newest students to settle quickly and without the usual angst of leaving Mum or Dad as they already know what they will be doing and where they are going when they start proper “big school”.

We have noiced a big difference between the children who have the benefit of Sunflowers and those who arrive and start school immediately.

As we don’t have an enrolment zone, anybody is welcome to attend Howick Primary School. If you want to give your child the best start possible, enrol them at Howick Primary School for the most important journey of their young years, starting with Sunflowers.

ear 13 student Danny Mackenzie represented Elim Christian College in the NZ Secondary Schools Football team that toured the US recently.

Danny, who plays for the Bucklands Beach Men’s First team says: “The New Zealand Secondary Schools Football Team—National U19 Representative team, I travelled with played six games. We won three, lost two and drew one.

“It was quite an outstanding

tour when you think about the pool of players the universities such as San Jose State and clubs such as the LA Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes have access too.

“Just goes to show that a small size school such as Elim can produce students of qualities that can compete against the rest of the world.”

Danny is currently applying for a scholarship to US universities. “On a personal note I hope that this is just the begin-

ning and I will keep pushing and make my way up in this world through football,” he said.

“God inspired me on this tour and opened my eyes to see the opportunities of pursuing football in America, one of the biggest growing football nations in the world.

“I hope to apply for a football scholarship in the States for next year and hope to wear the fern on my chest again in the future.”

he opportunities at Howick College can set you up for life, Head Girl Inka Pleiss told the prospective students who toured the school recently at the open night.

This sentiment was echoed by Head Boy Nathan Limm, who said the range of opportunities offered ensure there was something for everyone, no matter what their interests. These range from clubs, sports teams, service groups, performances and leadership opportunities. “I was introduced to the Pinnacle Leadership programme through the school. It allowed me to go on the Spirit of Adventure, Outward Bound and helped to break down my goals and make them achievable.”

Both Inka and Nathan assured the young students that starting high school wasn’t as bad as they had initially thought.

They remembered feeling nervous about the new bigger environment and expectations, however

with the support systems in place, and help from teachers and older students alike, ensure new students settle in quickly.

Inka says “We don’t dump you in the deep end, we ease you in at the pace you’re comfortable with.”

As Year 13 students who will be moving on at the end of the year, Inka and Nathan will be joining a long list of former Howick College students who continue to succeed and achieve. The school is proud to claim well-known names such as TVNZ political reporter Jessica Mutch, Silver Ferns cap-

tain Katrina Grant and Black Cap Mitch McClenaghan. Each year the school delights in hearing of the many alumni who graduate with degrees, Masters and PHDs as well as those who gain success and contribute in the various fields they enter.

Inka passed on some words of wisdom “You can do anything with your life, all you have to do is discover your passion. Our school motto is ‘Inspiring a community of passionate learners – allow us to inspire you to find your passion.”

The school’s three guiding values of Community, Commitment and Citizenship are an important factor in helping students achieve success. Nathan believes adhering to these values, combined with the multitude of opportunities and support from the school provide the blueprint for everyone to grow and reach their potential.

Education Top marks for Trinity kindy

FOR ALL AGES

A

recent Government education review of Trinity Kindergarten has resulted in the highest of praise for the early childhood education provider.

The kindy, a non-profit organisation based on the grounds of the Trinity Methodist Church on Pakuranga Road, received full marks from the Education Review Office (ERO) report this month.

The report reccomended the centre is “very well placed” and will not need another review for four years, the longest time between ERO visits an early childhood centre can receive. In the report it states “children experience a very calm and settled” environment with access to resources that “reflect and support their curiosty and interests”, and as a result “children have a strong sense of belonging and security … they play happily and are kind to each other”.

Head teacher Engela Nel says the four-year review status was something she and the staff had been working towards and aiming for.

“Trinity is extremely proud of its ERO report, our focus is our tamariki and we delight in

seeing each and every child develop into an educated and confident individual,” she says. “Through this four year experience, not only have the children and their learning outcomes reached their full potential, but the teachers have grown in team spirit and in their own learning.”

Trinity is licensed for 40 children over two years of age and currently offers two morning sessions each week for younger children and three school-hour sessions for older children.

The centre’s philosophy promotes Christian values and learning approaches that cater for individual strengths, interests and needs of children. It highlights the importance of parent involvement

in children’s learning. Board member Candice Thum has had two children, now both school-aged, attend the kindy and says the centre provided excellent foundation for her children to be school ready.

“For parents, the transition to school can be daunting, but both of my children made the transition really well. I think a lot of that is due to Trinity and the way it helped my children find their independence, confidence and place not only in the world, but in a learning environment,” Thum says.

“My children still love Trinity and they often come back and read or share learnings with the older children.”

Expert Tutors Small Classes Limited Spaces BOOK NOW

Our first goal is to help the students understand what is going on in class so that they can take an interest in it and not feel embarrassed. This usually involves giving them some background in the fundamentals of the topic and setting homework so that they gain confidence and don’t forget how to do it by the next week. If they are ok with what is happening in class we can then cover any other topics which they had trouble with previously. Once all that is done we can start looking at exam papers and learning some exam techniques.

We use the “Socratic” method of teaching wherein we mostly keep asking questions until the light dawns. (We love that moment when a smile slowly spreads across their face and we know that they have got it.) When students feel that they are working something out for themselves it keeps them more involved and they remember it for longer. If we think of the mind as a muscle, it also strengthens that muscle for when it is needed in exams, effectively increasing their IQ. Hence the comment of one of my students that: “Mr Porter explains things well and makes it fun!”

RUGBY UNION

PURC devotes day to Heart Kids P

akuranga United Rugby Club hosted a Charity Day on Saturday to support this year’s recipient Heart Kids.

A special one-off playing jersey was pre-sold and worn by the Premiers against opposition Eden.

The day started with The Charity’s representative Monty speaking about the Charity and then followed guest speakers Bronwyn and Sonja Ward and Michelle Dempsey. Bronwyn has been a Heart Kid for many years and Michelle (14) had her heart surgery five weeks ago.

We were also lucky enough to have Charlotte and Dave Evans come with their precious son Lachie who had lifesaving open heart surgery at just five-daysold. There were several highlights of the day but what made it all worthwhile were the unexpected connections the heart kids’ families made with each other and the appreciation they showed to the club for running the fundraiser.

You could see how much it meant to them. It is such a warm feeling to give something back to the community in both support and financial help. After the

game, seeing one of our young Premier players come over and talk to Michelle – who is going to be receiving his jersey - was a special moment.

They listened to the Heart Kids speaking before the game and it hit home to them what this day was all about.

Unfortunately the Premiers couldn’t quite secure a win (15-

This year an unconfirmed amount of around $15,500 was raised and, again, the generosity of our sponsors in buying jerseys, donating auction items and food was very much appreciated.

rugby union

It’s official – Hugo’s a rugby ref On a cold winter’s Saturday morning, you wont find this teenage boy playing Fortnight. Instead he is refereeing Auckland children on the rugby field.

Hugo Clarke, who is in the Year 9 Sports in Education Programme (SIE) at Howick College, has only just turned 14 and is already contemplating a future as an international rugby referee.

Hugo is building a name as a rugby referee, and receives many requests from teams asking him to ref their games.

Disenchanted with the size of some of the players in the open rugby divisions which he used to play in, he decided to opt out of playing rugby in 2016 and instead took up a whistle.

Hugo’s mum Jo said: “In 2016 Hugo saw a boy of similar age to him reffing at an U10 rugby tournament and he said to me, “I am going to do that. If that boy can do it, then so can I.” So over the summer of 2016/2017, Hugo started reffing touch rugby at Pakuranga United Rugby Club (PURC).

Then last year he became the team ref for the Pakuranga Under 8 Blackhawks. Hugo went on to ref touch again last summer and continues to ref for the now U9 PURC Blackhawks. He has also reffed several U11 matches and recently reffed a college match between Pakuranga College and St Peters.

Every Monday night, with the support of his stepfather Scott, Hugo

attends the Auckland Referees Association course, and has recently been assessed and presented with his official referee ARA uniform.

Scott is an ARA rugby referee as well as a coach at PURC and he has been a huge support teaching and guiding Hugo as he develops the skills to become a better ref.

He said there is a huge shortage of quality referees and Hugo has received a great amount of positive support from PURC, players and coaches.

“In general, rugby referees get a lot of criticism yelled at them, however at Pakuranga United Rugby Club we encourage positive and supportive sideline behaviour from our spectators as refereeing is a voluntary role and one that not many people put their hands up for,” said Scott.

PURC general manager Stephen Hackett said: “Hugo is a good young guy who has stayed in the game by becoming a referee, he has just received his official referee jersey and we are pretty proud of what he has achieved.”
