Windwhistle School students joined together with New Zealand Defence Force personnel and RSA representatives for an ANZAC ceremony to remember.

Windwhistle School participated in a memorable ANZAC service held at the Glenroy Monument on Friday, April 15th to coincide with the end of the school term.

“We had a glorious day in which we recognised the true spirit of ANZAC with our Windwhistle community. Soldiers from the New Zealand Defence Force stood at-arms while the Windwhistle students sang the National Anthem in Te Reo, and English, with sign language,”

said Windwhistle School Principal, Frances Nimmo proudly. The children presented the wreaths that Room 2 students had made in class with Mary Abbott and Barbara Bryant to the Hororata area RSA representatives. The Last Post was ably played on the bugle by fourteen year-old Tim Samson of Greendale. As the community headed off to the Glenroy Hall for a light lunch, courtesy of the Glenroy Hall community and

SDC, the senior students presented their 'Princess Mary' boxes, to Sgt. Ian Davis.

Davis These boxes had been hand-painted, and contained personal messages and trinkets, to pass on to the soldiers still serving, to let them know that they are not forgotten.

“It was an amazing experience for the students who will carry these memories with them for the rest of their lives,” Frances concluded.

Almost two years ago, Selwyn District Council and Plunket Canterbury got together and a decision was made to fund a Selwyn based group of Plunket v o l u n t e e r s t o b ec o m e qualified Child Restraint Technicians. Liberty Clayton, Clayton a Kirwee Plunket volunteer jumped at the chance to complete the course and can now boast that she is an NZTA qualified Child Restraint Technician. “Since completing the course, we have set up our own Facebook page, Selwyn Car Seat Champions, where people can message us to arrange an appointment for car seat installation or to receive advice.

We have also arranged or attended many events in the Selwyn District to address car seat safety,� explained Liberty.

One such event is happening on Saturday, April 30th at the Kirwee Hall, from 10.3011.30am. Two local Child Restraint Techs will be at the Kirwee Plunket Toy Library's fortnightly session to offer face -to-face advice and to check the installation of seats. “We are hoping to spread the word around the area not only about this event, but about our free

“There’s nothing better than a good laugh. A real LOL (laughing out loud) moment and one that’s shared with an audience of others.� These were the comments of Stuart Wright from Sheffield having just attended a ‘Sons of a Bitch’ performance at Brooksdale, Springfield, last Sunday with close to 200 others. “The hour long comedy show was preceded by Springfield musician Mel Parsons, Parsons who had the crowd enthralled with songs from her recently acclaimed Drylands album.

able to support the Selwyn Car Seat Champions group. They are doing a remarkable job to help local families with the checking and installation of child restraints in our district. Over the past eighteen months they have assisted many parents individually and also attended a number of checking clinics like the one to be held shortly in Kirwee. Their voluntary work contributes greatly towards the safety of babies and young children, as passengers, and it is a much valued service that this group has made available within our communities,� she ended.

“The crowd were laughing almost continuously,� Stuart said. “The obese Labrador and Amelia’s and Emma’s version of ‘thank god I’m a country boy’, are definitely something to be watched out for. “The Sons of a Bitch/Mel Parsons woolshed tour is a must see if you enjoy laughter with a country slant and great music from one of New Zealand’s rising talents.�

Springfield based artist, Vicky Peacock is well-known locally and nationally for her magnificent art works. However, it is not only her talent as an artist that has made her so popular throughout New Zealand; it is her contagious passion and enthusiasm for promoting and teaching art.

Vicky is a qualified primary school teacher and artist with an Honours degree specialising in Visual Art and Art Education.

A true believer that education and creative expression are crucial elements in child development, Vicky has begun to teach weekly art classes in Sheffield for 5-12 year olds. “There will be a focus on painting and drawing and if there is a demand, I will look into a more creative exploration based lesson later in the year, for mixed age groups,� explained Vicky excitedly.

A woman of many talents, Vicky is a relief teacher at Darfield Pre-school and Nursery, as well as at various local schools, she runs a weekly gymnastics club in

Vicky Peacock dreams of creating an art and music education centre in Selwyn.

Springfield and also has a keen interest in teaching music. Plus she’s a self-proclaimed doting mum to two beautiful and busy girls under six years old. Vicky’s contribution to promoting art in the local and wider community is commendable. She is visibly passionate about art and music and has advised that she is planning to start facilitating keyboard lessons later this year (another of her many talents!). “My long term goal (dream) is to set up some kind of Art and Music Education centre for children (and adults) to pursue lessons - (specifically small group keyboard lessons in addition to art lessons). I just think it would be great to have this kind of facility in the area,�

Vicky enthused.

After many enquiries, there is a strong possibility of a pizza and paint night specifically for adults in the near future. “I have been approached by quite a few adults about classes for them, but at this stage I would like to get the children’s classes up and running and look at adult classes further down the line,�

Vicky explained.

All of this planning and organising for the future has been taking place in between commissioned paintings specific to the buyers requirements, along with the several murals that Vicky has been invited to both design and/or paint with children.

A large crowd of both local, and enthusiasts from as far afield as Clyde, gathered at Flock Hill Station on Sunday morning to support the Malvern Parish 4x4 fundraiser. Richard Hill of Flockhill gave an insightful talk to those present on issues surrounding high country farming, and in particular the serious on-going problem of wilding pines.

Driving through Flock Hill the group were able to see the impressive programme of fencing and roading which is currently being undertaken.

Those participating found the sightings of the Poulter, Esk, and Waimakariri Rivers, when they stopped for lunch, totally breathtaking. The group were treated constantly, throughout the journey, to a vast variety of spectacular views.

Event organisers are grateful to Richard and Anna Hill for allowing them access to see what lies beyond the main highway.

The knowledge and understanding gained during the trip will better equip Hannah to understand the needs specific to India as part of a global mission.

Hannah has been part of a two year team leadership development course which has a particular emphasis on local and global missions. Last year, she spent a week, locally in Christchurch, working with agencies who help people on the margins of society. This also included observing how prisoners are supported with

Gloria’s Handbag, performed by Helen Moulder at the Glenroy Hall on Saturday, April 17th 2016 was pronounced a huge success. Glenroy Hall was packed and the buzz of excitement was palpable. It seemed the reputation of Helen Moulder had preceded her.

The play was about Gloria, aged 97 years grappling with ageing, what to do with her ‘stuff’ and the possibility of moving into a retirement home. During the narrative Helen brilliantly represented the roles of six different characters. She interspersed this with the singing of excerpts from Mozart’s operatic arias demanding a vocal range from coloratura soprano to bass baritone, dazzling magical tricks, audience participation, plenty of humour and the ubiquitous handbag!

Helen used a simple set but ex p er t ly cu lt iv at ed t h e imagination of her audience to bring this play to life. The audience’s enjoyment was unmistakable given the frequent laughter and spontaneous applause.

At the end of the play Helen proceeded to judge the

‘guess how many blocks in the set’ competition, (which is a toy from the toy library) and this was won by Kirstie and Dave Armstrong,�

Armstrong commented event organiser, Ainsley Bell.

Bell “The Armstrongs won a fantastic prize of a free bouncy castle hire.�

As well as desserts and laughter, there were also

discussions about possibilities for future events and many are looking forward to the disco in June. “The committee would like to thank George and Julz Ridgen and their staff at The Terrace for hosting the event, and we plan to run these each term,�

West Melton school (WMS) sent a small team of students recently to the Lincoln Zone Duathlon. The Duathlon was held at Motukarara Raceway on April 11th and saw over twenty primary schools competing for placings at the event.

The students were required to run, bike and then run again the distances were dependent on age group. For many WMS students, this was their first time participating in an event such as this and they embraced the challenge. “It was great to see them encourage each other, showing great sportsmanship and resilience!

Our team also provided a lot of extra marshalls, helping with putting bikes away and cone collection at the end. An amazing effort,” commented a delighted WMS spokesperson, Rita Spadoni.

Spadoni Isla Mc. (pictured above right) came an impressive second in the ten year old girls category (run 2km, bike 6km, run1km) Jed Mc. (pictured right) came third in the eleven year old boy category (run 2km, bike 6km, run 1km).

McHugh’s Forest Park, Darfield has had a number of new bike tracks completed recently by a solid group of volunteers led by Les Hurford.

“We are now wanting to progress the layout of the bike track, which will be a one way loop around the forest, outside the current tracks,” explained McHugh’s Park spokesperson Sam Broughton. The track will be available for all age groups and is bound to be extremely popular with teenagers.

swimming baths have announced they are closing lanes 7 and 8. • Paddy is doing some rooďŹ ng work for Murphy He nears the top of the ladder and starts shaking and going dizzy. He calls down to Murphy and says "I nk I will ave to go home, I've come all over giddy and feel sick." Murphy asks "Ave yer got ver go?" Paddy replies "No I only live round the corner." • AKer 100 years lying on the sea bed, Irish divers were amazed to ďŹ nd that the Titanic’s swimming pool was s ll full! • Paddy thought his new girlfriend might be the one but aKer looking through her drawer and ďŹ nding a nurse's ouXit, a French maid’s ouXit, and a police woman's uniform, he ďŹ nally decided if she can't hold down a job, she's not for him.
