6 April 2018 Tena Koutou Katoa Parents and Caregivers GLENTUNNEL SCHOOL NEWSLETTER Friday 6 April 2018 Tena koutou katoa parents and caregivers, Dates to remember … This week I introduced a new social skill to our Tuesday 10 April - students. We are looking at ‘being a good role Mobile Library visiting model’ which is part of our Respectful Citizen Value. Please support the teachers by asking your Friday 13 April - child questions like ‘what does being a good role Last day of Term 1 model look like?’ and ‘why is it important to be a good role model?’ Wednesday 25 April - On Wednesday I discussed a quote with the school which looked at ANZAC Day being the person you want others to be, as little eyes are watching you, and we want all students to be making good choices for others Saturday 28 April - to follow their example. Hororata Night Glow event Monday 30 April - With a sad heart we will be saying goodbye to First day of Term 2 Jacqui Adams at the end of this term. Jacqui has been teaching for two days in Room 3 alongside Mrs Wright. Unfortunately due to personal reasons Jacqui has decided to resign from this position. Thank you Jacqui for the energy you have given to our students. Your enthusiasm will be missed, and take care on your next adventure. We have been very fortunate to be able to employ Pam Reynolds to fill this vacancy for the rest of the year. Pam is well known to the students and school and we look forward to having her as part of our team for the remainder of the year. Through the hard work of Sarah Ratahi, and with the support of Tracey Murdoch we have been able Weekly Joke! to create a fundraising opportunity for our school Q: What kind of music are through Scentsy. Scentsy sell an amazing range of balloons scared of? scented items and products. To enable teachers to A: Pop music! access the online resources for our newly acquired Numicon Maths equipment we need to pay for an online subscription. Sarah and Tracey have created an online Scentsy group called Glentunnel School Fundraising Party where a percentage of all purchases will come directly to the school to support us purchasing the online subscription for Numicon. More information on this opportunity will come home in Term 2, but for those interested in finding out more about it please check out the website on the link below. https://sassyscentstracey.scentsy.co.nz/party/9166892 100% of any commission earned on any products purchased will come back to the school. Please feel free to pass this link on and spread the word, as the more people we get involved in this fundraiser the more money we raise for the school. Products must be purchased through the Glentunnel School Fundraising Party Group or through Sarah Ratahi for the school to receive any money. Please see the office for more information or contact Sarah directly. Next Friday the 13th of April you are welcome to join us at school for our learning celebration. This term we have decided to open up our classrooms for you to join in and experience what your child experiences during a normal day at school. Classes will be open from 11 am – 12:30 pm and we would love to have you here with us to learn alongside your child. This is something you may not have experienced in a while and will be a very powerful experience for you and your child, plus a lot of fun! We will have a shared lunch time together (where everyone brings food for themselves and we sit down together to eat) from 12:30 – 1:15 pm, followed by a brief assembly. After the assembly you are welcome to join us for the last swim of the season or a game of Kirikiti (Samoan Cricket) on the field (wet day option will be a movie). You are welcome to take your child home after the assembly if you want to. Kind regards Dion Stechmann Media Team News Malvern Swimming Sports On Tuesday (two weeks ago) quite a number of children competed at the Malvern Swimming Sports at the Rolleston Aquatic Centre. Everybody pushed themselves to swim their very best. We were nervous at first, but we were all very proud of our efforts once we had swum. We had some new Glentunnel School swimming caps that we could choose wear, thank you to the Home and School for buying these for us. Ruby Flynn-Miers and Nola Clarke (Media Team) Thank You To the Bike Elves A few weekends ago now Adam Heard, and his sons Casey and Ethan fixed up all of the school bikes in the bike container. They are now all working perfectly. Thank you so very much to this family for helping us out. We are so lucky to have bikes at school, and to have people in our school community who help us out. Ruby Flynn-Miers and Nola Clarke (Media Team) Golf In Schools A belated thank you to all parents and caregivers who supported the Year 4 – 6 students whilst they played golf at the Hororata Golf Club’s course two weeks ago. The children very much enjoyed their morning of golf - their concluding session of their Golf In Schools programme. Without your support our students could not participate in such fun learning experiences. Here follows a message from our local golf club… Hororata Golf Club Junior Coaching The club runs a junior golf programme throughout the year. Coaching is generally every two weeks on a Friday after school, with a professional coach attending once a month (with a break over winter and during school holidays). The cost for coaching is $2.00 per session. Professional coaching is $10.00 per session, and well worth it. We do prefer that parents/guardians attend the coaching sessions please. If you require any further information or a schedule of coaching sessions please do not hesitate to contact Pip Deans (Junior Convenor) 3180833, or 0212797857, or [email protected] Sunday April 8th 2018 There is a family introduction to golf day at the Darfield High School on the back field from 9:00 – 11:00 a. This is a free event for anyone that is interested. Scooter Ramps – Can You Help? Glentunnel students very much enjoy scootering, skateboarding and ripsticking. They especially enjoy using the school’s scooter/skateboard ramps and challenging themselves to jump these in a variety of arrangements. At the end of this term the school pool will be closed, as will the bike track. This means that lunch time physical activity options will be reduced for our students. The senior students and I have discussed the benefits of there being more scooter ramps available for students during the winter terms. Those children who are starting out with ramp challenges are limited to one suitable ramp at present. Those who are advancing with their skills are limited to one medium-sized ramp. We anticipate that the number of children who will want to scooter and skateboard at lunchtimes will increase, and we consider that if we had more ramps, we could cater for all abilities and reduce the likelihood of congestion on the court (as children try to access the few ramps that we currently have). I have contacted the MenzShed in Darfield and they would be more than happy to build scooter ramps for the school, however they are not a complete charity and would need to buy materials for such a project. Alternatively, they would be happy to work with quality second-hand materials, or “off-cuts” or donated materials. If we are able to secure some “sponsored/donated” materials then we could go ahead and have some additional scooter ramps built. Most scooter ramps that have been built for us in the past (and the ones we have viewed on the internet) are made of a welded metal pipe frame that has a heavy plywood ramp attached, along with a metal flashing at the base (as this is the area that receives the greatest wear). Can you help? Do you by chance have (or have access to) some off cuts of plywood, or metal (suitable to be used as “flashings”), or square metal pipe (to build the frame of a ramp) that is destined for a scrap heap or is just sitting around waiting to go to a good home? If so, we would love to relieve you of any such items, and have them transformed into some scooter/skateboard ramps that would be utilised by a vast number of children for a very long time. Scootering and skateboarding over obstacles provides students with multiple opportunities to challenge themselves and persevere with those challenges. It also increases the likelihood that the children will be ‘more active, more often’, which is a key component of our health curriculum. Any support you are able to provide, would be very, very welcome. If you are able to support in any way please: phone the school office with offers; or drop materials at school; or make contact with me if you wish to discuss this project further (ring me at school or email me, [email protected]) Lunches from Glentunnel Store If your child would like to order a lunch from the Glentunnel Store (available on Friday each week), please collect an order form from the office and either drop in to the shop or bring back to the school office. Thanks!

  • Estimating Demand for Selwyn's Cycleways Abstract
    ESTIMATING DEMAND FOR SELWYN'S CYCLEWAYS Megan Fowler BE (Hons), MET, GIPENZ Traffic Engineer, ViaStrada Ltd, Christchurch http://viastrada.co.nz/ Andrew Macbeth (presenter) BE, MEng, CPEng, FIPENZ Director, ViaStrada Ltd, Christchurch http://viastrada.co.nz/ Lee Wright PG Dip in Public Management, PG Cert in Public Policy Transport and Road Safety Coordinator, Selwyn District Council [email protected] ABSTRACT Selwyn District Council has a desired "outcome" for the future of “a Selwyn where people walk and cycle safely for transportation and enjoyment”. This will be achieved through a combination of inspired, ambitious walking and cycling education, engineering and enforcement projects. Selwyn doesn’t think in issues or problems - we call them challenges! Selwyn proposed a package of seven cycleway / walkway projects connecting their main towns, including Lincoln, Rolleston and Darfield to each other and to greater Christchurch. The paths also extend the Little River Rail Trail project. This paper describes the economic assessment approach taken in the funding approval processes for the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA). The economic assessment was based on the full procedures which, for walking and cycling projects, is a continuation of the simplified procedures (SP 11) demand estimation method. We used, however, several modifications to the SP 11 method to improve the accuracy of the predictions. Estimating the demand for new facilities is an important part of the economic justification for walking and cycling projects. This paper, based on a ViaStrada project for Selwyn District Council, discusses how this was done for the Selwyn projects. We note that this modified procedure is a variation on accepted New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) processes and has not yet received NZTA endorsement.

  • Fitzgerald's Town
    FITZGERALD’S TOWN LINCOLN IN THE 19TH CENTURY NEVILLE MOAR 1. James Edward Fitzgerald. Photographer H.C. Barker, courtesy of the Canterbury Museum. First published in a print edition in 2011 by N.T. Moar Copyright © 2011 Neville Moar and photographers as named Edited by Alison Barwick This second edition published digitally in 2018 by the Lincoln and District Historical Society in collaboration with the Lincoln University Museum and Documentary Heritage Committee Copyright © 2018 - CC-BY-NC-ND Edited by Roger Dawson, Joanne Moar, Rupert Tipples ISBN 978-0-86476-430-0 (PDF) FOREWORD When Fitzgerald’s Town – Lincoln in the 19th Century was first published in 2011, Neville Moar’s history of Victorian Lincoln, New Zealand, added to the growing body of serious studies of a small colonial community. He published the book himself with support from Selwyn District Council’s Creative Communities Scheme. Over the next two years, Neville distributed the 205 copies of the book via the Manaaki Whenua Press Bookstore and at the Lincoln Farmers & Craft Market. By the time of his death in June 2016, the book was well and truly sold out. Neville had been President and subsequently Patron of Lincoln & Districts Historical Society (L&DHS newsletter, Issue 42, December 2016). He left the rights to his book and his research materials to the Society. When studying the computer files for the book Fitzgerald’s Town – Lincoln in the 19th Century, it became apparent that the published version had fewer pictures and plans than Neville had originally intended. Subsequently, as a memorial to Neville, the Society decided, with the agreement of the Moar family, to produce a second edition.

  • CPW Newsletter No 2
    May-June Update Central Plains Water was set up by Christchurch City and Selwyn District Councils in March 2000 to investigate ways to improve the security and prosperity of the Central Canterbury region through water management schemes that enhance ecological and recreational values while providing opportunity for agricultural and horticultural diversity. Further information can be obtained from the Central Plains Water website http://www.cpw.org.nz/ Central Plains Water project manager is Eddie Thomas, based at the Selwyn District Council, tel (03) 324 5859. Requests for further copies, previous issues and all other enquiries about the content of this newsletter should be directed to him. Wairiri Valley site selected for further study Wairiri Valley has been identified as the best site for a 1,000- hectare storage reservoir to serve a large irrigation scheme for the central Canterbury Plains. This site scored best from a technical point of view and also ranked well against alternatives considered by community representatives involved in the selection process. Based on initial studies, Wairiri appears to have a sound geological base, gives options for the transportation of water from the Rakaia River or Lake Coleridge and has a very small natural catchment, minimising the risk of the reservoir overflowing during heavy rain. Construction of a scheme is currently estimated at about $100 million. Detailed work on options for raising this money from stakeholders and others will be undertaken later this year. This is just one of the many questions to be answered before a scheme could go ahead. Glentunnel, Coalgate, Whitecliffs and surrounding communities have identified issues in relation to a large body of water sitting in their neighbourhood, Wairiri Valley landowners will require compensation, and many geological, environmental and cultural considerations will need thorough investigation.
