Prior to her appointment, Sharon was notable for creating ANZ's truckometer, which uses traffic flows on major New Zealand roads as an indicator of economic momentum. In Christchurch's newspaper, The Press, however, it was noted: "The new chief economist for New Zealand's biggest bank is a farm girl from Methven at heart". Sharon joined the ANZ Economics Team in 2010. After graduating from UC with an M.Comm in 1997 she started her career as a macroeconomist at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. She has also worked at the Central Bank of Norway. Sharon created the Truckometer in 2012. She has a particular interest in Big Data and machine learning and its potential applications in macroeconomics. Take a bow, Rolly With the opening of SH1 to and from Kaikōura on Friday 15 December, alumnus David 'Rolly' Rowland (2004) can take a bow. Rolly was seconded from Beca to be Seawall & Coastal Structures Team Lead for NCTIR (North Canterbury Transport Infrastructure Recovery) that designed the new sea walls and other coastal structures along SH1. KiwiRail has produced a fascinating video of the entire rebuild. Click here to watch. It's eight minutes long, so get yourself a cup of coffee, sit back and enjoy. When you've finished watching you can read more about him here in our 2017 Alumni Magazine. To read the entire magazine, go here. Congratulations from us all, Rolly. Recognition for Singapore alumnus, William Ng Singapore based alumnus William Ng (1980) is proud of Furama Hotels’ recognition by Great Place to Work® as one of the top 10 best workplaces in Singapore this year. William is Managing Director of Furama Group, one of the Asia-Pacific’s largest hotel chains; it manages more than 60 hotels, villas and resorts in the region. William says he and his team are thrilled with the award. “This award very much reflects Furama’s core values of teamwork, hospitality, respect, trust and integrity. They are integral to the way we work – serving one another, working together as a team and having faith and trust in each other at our workplace. “At Furama, we are united and motivated as one big family. To us, the importance of being a family applies not only at home but also at work. If the family is well-taken care of, it will translate into the staff having a better focus on doing a good job. This is the natural work-life balance that Furama strives to achieve,” explains William. To rank in the top ten list, Furama Hotels had to undergo a Trust Index© Employee Survey as well as an audit of the company’s culture and people practices by Great Place to Work, and then benchmarked against dozens of other competing Singapore corporates. Congratulations from us all, William Enterprising alumnus Sam Johnson (2008 - 09) and business partner Tyler Brummer announce merger for their social enterprise WeVisit WeVisit is a social enterprise founded by Sam Johnson (2008 – 09) and Tyler Brummer. Sam & Tyler created WeVisit to tackle the growing issues of social isolation and loneliness felt by older New Zealanders. In the recent announcement of their merger with Mycare (the country’s largest online home care platform), Sam and Tyler moving into an exciting new phase for WeVisit. So what’s it all about? Sam & Tyler saw an ageing population on the one hand and on the other hand, a younger generation with little or no experience of talking to or engaging with older community member. WeVisit was developed to tackle this problem by matching up young and old to improve social connectedness in local communities. WeVisit offers a range of services which match up each of the older clients with a young visitor or helper. These services include WeTech – a tech savvy helper will work alongside their older client to sort out issues with phones, computers and online services such as Skype and Facebook. WeVisit helps with gardening, cooking, conversation or companionship. Find out more on the WeVisit website Success for social entrepreneurs Former tutor Hannah Duder (2013) and her business partner have raised over $100 000 for their social enterprise. Hannah and her business partner Bonnie Howland launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter early in November to raise funds for their social enterprise Indigo & Iris. The entrepreneurs have developed a mascara, “levitate” which is both vegan and cruelty free. The main ingredient is Samoan organic coconut oil. But the Pacific Islands connection goes further than this. 50% of profits from this product will be donated to the Fred Hollows Foundation to help end avoidable blindness in the Pacific. The initial target of $75 000 on Kickstarter has not only been reached but surpassed! Currently the total is over $100 000. Congratulations to Hannah and Bonnie. We look forward to following their progress. Hannah & Bonnie on Seven Sharp Auckland alumni & parents event Auckland, Northland and Waikato alumni, parents and friends enjoyed a reunion on Wednesday, 15 November 2017. Alumnus, Sir David Moxon (1972-73) gave a thought-provoking presentation focused on efforts being made by world religious leaders to combat modern slavery, which the audience was reminded exists even in New Zealand BM, Alistair Drayton spoke about life and energy of students at CH today. He played tribute to the late Norman Hardie (1944), a great New Zealand alpinist, noting that many of today's students continued to follow his example as a daring adventurer. Guests also enjoyed a video showing 2017 students at work and play made by Hamish Smith (2017). The event, at the Northern Club, was attended by around 50 guests spanning College House history from 1953 to 2010. Richard Adamson joins the College House Board A UC and CH alumnus (2004 - 05), Richard Adamson has recently joined the CH Board. Following his graduation from Canterbury University, Richard spent 11 years in Corporate and Commercial Banking roles throughout the South Island and is currently Associate Client Director, ASB.

He was a founding committee member of the Dunedin Young Professionals and previous Board member of Otago Southland Employers Association. Richard is now based in Christchurch and outside of work, a lot of spare time is spent with his family (wife and daughter), biking in the Port Hills and travelling. Tim Bell to receive international award Prof Tim Bell (1980-82) Has been recognised for global achievement with a prestigious annual award. The Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGSE) 2018 Award will be presented to Tim at an international symposium in the US next year. Tim developed Computer Science Unplugged for teaching computer science without computers. It is now used around the world. The idea took seed when Tim visited his to his son’s Year 1 class when his son had just started school. Tim was asked to explain what he did for a living. “I had no idea that would lead to an international project involving hundreds of people, and used in dozens of countries around the world,” he said. “I like finding things that people say are impossible, then coming up with a solution. There was nothing exciting I could do on a computer that would be interesting for five-year-olds, so what if there were no computers? I gave myself that challenge and it forced me to think outside the box.” Since then, using Computer Science Unplugged as a way to teach children and young people has become well-known in the world of computer science education. Computer Science Unplugged teaches Computer Science using cards, string, crayons and physical activity. Games and puzzles introduce students to Computational Thinking (CT) and concepts - such as binary numbers, algorithms and data compression - “unplugged” from the distractions of using computers. Death of Norman Hardie, QSO We are sad to announce the passing of Norman Hardie QSO (1944) on 31st October 2017. Norman made a significant contribution to the life of College House through his 26 years as a Board member (1971-97). Hardie House is named in recognition of his service. Norman was one of New Zealand’s most highly respected mountaineers. He grew up in South Canterbury and developed his love of the mountains from an early age. This passion led him to study engineering which he hoped would provide him with a career in the great outdoors rather than in an office environment! He spent his first year at university at CH. Norman’s first job following graduation in 1947 was with the Ministry of Works at Lake Pukaki which provided him with the ideal opportunity to develop his mountaineering skills in the Southern Alps. A few years later, Norman travelled to UK to join his fiancée Enid Hurst. While working as an engineer in London, he became part of the team involved in the organisation of the first ascent of Everest. Norman joined a later Himalayan expedition in 1954 to survey Makalu – the world’s fifth highest mountain. This was followed by the ascent of Mt Kanchenjunga – the world’s third highest mountain - using oxygen tanks designed by Norman himself. Norman and Enid returned to New Zealand in 1955 but Norman’s attachment to the Himalayas never diminished. He travelled back to Nepal many times and for 26 years he was a director of the Himalayan Trust, established by Sir Edmund Hillary. Norman was instrumental in the creation of the Sagarmatha National Park in Nepal which includes Mt Everest.

  • THE NILKANTH EXPEDITION 2007 (Report by the Managing Committee of the Himalayan Club)
    ‐ 1 Volume-15, March 2009 THE NILKANTH EXPEDITION 2007 (Report by the Managing Committee of The Himalayan Club) The Himalayan Club sponsored an expedition to climb Nilkanth in 2007. The expedition leader AVM (Retd) A K Bhattacharyya reported that the team had reached the summit of Nilkanth via the West ridge after a difficult climb. As doubts were expressed regarding the authentication of this climb, the Himalayan Club appointed Mr. Jagdish Nanavati (President Emeritus) as Ombudsman. After a great amount of study, he submitted his detailed report to the President, who had the report verified by consulting some leading mountaineers. This being a Club‐sponsored climb, the good name of the Club was very much a matter of concern in the minds of all. It was, therefore, perfectly understandable that the issue of analysing and understanding the complexities and difficulties that climbers can experience on a mountain would have been discussed with great intensity by all those members involved in the discussions on this matter. The Expedition members and others in the Kolkata Section (who organised the venture) did present their point of view in documents and arguments in response to the Ombudsman’s Report. Taking all things into consideration, the Managing Committee believes: 1. The Expedition attempted a difficult route on a hard and not often climbed mountain, and was able to overcome almost all the obstacles on this route, for which the climbers deserve recognition and the respect of their fellow Club members. 2. After studying all the material made available to it in the Ombudsman’s Report, the independent opinions of experienced and respected mountaineers consulted by the President, as well as all the arguments made in response to the Ombudsman’s Report by the Expedition Leader and other members of Kolkata Section, the MC would like to record its agreement with the conclusion of the Ombudsman’s Report, which is that the 2007 Himalayan Club expedition to Nilkanth, operating in challenging topography, did not reach the highest point on the mountain.

  • 'Modern' Medicine in the Mt Everest Region of Nepal
    Medical History, 2011, 55: 503–521 Medicines, Travellers and the Introduction and Spread of ‘Modern’ Medicine in the Mt Everest Region of Nepal SUSAN HEYDON* Abstract: The significant contribution of medicines in the introduc- tion and spread of ‘modern’ medicine has, with the exception of vacci- nation, been neglected in historical studies, yet medicines have been a significant factor in people’s experiences of sickness and in their use and non-use of health services. Although medicines are implicitly acknowledged in the literature as important in the provision of health- care, this article uses a case study of the Mt Everest region of Nepal during the second half of the twentieth century to argue that medicines have had an explicit and central role in the introduction and spread of modern medicine in this region. It also highlights the importance of travellers in the process. While this article focuses on biomedical pro- ducts, modern medicine, as elsewhere in the wider Himalayan region, continued to be practised within a changing but plural medical environ- ment. The first part of the article discusses medicines and travellers who, in the absence of biomedical services, were the main source of medicines prior to the mid-1960s, while the second part considers medicines and Khunde Hospital, which was built in 1966 by the area’s most famous overseas traveller and became not only the area’s main provider of modern health services but also the main source of medicines. Keywords: Medicines; ‘Modern’ Medicine; Medical Pluralism; Travellers; Nepal; Sherpas; Sir Edmund Hillary; Khunde Hospital Introduction ‘This assistant could be taught the uses of the appropriate pills for the treatment of the major fevers, dysentery and high altitude headaches.

  • Death of Former Principal, Anthony (Tony) Brough
    Death of former principal, Anthony (Tony) Brough We have recently learned of the death of former Principal Anthony (Tony) Brough, who died peacefully in Nelson in November, aged 89 years. He was Principal from 1990 – 1995. Tony, along with his wife Barbara, made a huge contribution to College life. They were well-liked and respected by teachers, parents, and students, and Tony’s tenure is a significant part of College history. Tony was the 13th Principal, the first lay Principal and the first principal to manage College House as a mixed hall of residence. He presided over CH as it grew through the addition of Hardie and Beadel houses. Our thoughts are with his family at this very sad time. CH Alumni are part of the team to win prestigious engineering award Last week, the NZ Transport Agency, KiwiRail and the North Canterbury Transport Infrastructure group (NCTIR) won the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) People’s Choice Award. This award celebrates the world’s top civil engineering projects and sets the benchmark for excellence in construction and design. It is decided by a public vote – truly reflecting what the local people who benefit from each project really think! We would like to congratulate CH alumni who have been part of the huge team working on this project – Rolly (David) Rowland (2004), Daniel Headifen (1995), Hannah Willis (nee Lord) (2010/11) and Frances Neeson (2005/06). NZ Transport Agency Regional Director Steve Mutton, chair of the NCTIR Board, said it was a collective effort that resulted in engineering excellence, and every crew member – past and present - should feel proud of themselves.

  • Newsletter March 2019 Registration Details Be Available on the Conference Website Shortly
    New Zealand -Australia Rotary Conference Regeneration: Newsletter March 2019 Registration details be available on the conference website shortly. Christchurch Update The tragic events of the 15th March to our community will undoubtably be known to all. The earthquakes of Sept 2010 and Feb 2011 and aftershocks which continued for an extended period literally ‘shook us to our foundations’ and for many it was a bit like being in a pin ball machine, knowing at some point there would be a further impact, but of what particular consequence was unknown. A significant number of people in our wider community including children, found this uncertainty and the ongoing effects difficult to cope with and much of this is still manifesting within our community and Mental Health and Wellbeing services. The unconscionable events of the 15th have again ‘shaken us all to our core’ in our beliefs and humanity values and presently there is almost a ‘stillness’ in the air as our community endeavours to come to terms with the enormity of what has occurred and to our Muslim community, of which many knew little about in our society, but have gained an immense amount of understanding of, over these last days as the outpouring of support has occurred, from our community and around the world. With Rotary International’s established values of inclusivity, diversity and its well-recognised humanitarian programmes, including Peace Fellowships, these attributes become even more increasingly pertinent in our society, but the question does remain ‘what more needs to be now done with immediacy’ in being of direct relevance to our communities and where do Rotary Clubs’ actions sit within this? Our Conference programme already has a slot where we intend by a panel discussion to explore ‘Mental Health and Wellbeing’ as an increasing societal factor within our New Zealand and Australian communities and gain understanding of the work that is being undertaken in both countries in that regard and the ongoing need.
