The Heller family tradition of butcheries began when Gorg Heller emigrated from Germany to New Zealand during the gold rush of the 1880’s and started supplying the gold miners with smallgoods from a small shop in Arrowtown.

Todd Heller continued the long line of butchers by opening his first butchery in New Brighton, Christchurch, in 1985. Inspired by his travels and the cooking styles of different cultures, Todd began offering greater variety and new flavours – very little of which were available at the time. His customers responded well. Todd Heller Meats started supplying supermarkets, outgrew the old factory, moved to a new plant at Kaiapoi and began supplying throughout the South Island.

The company continued to flourish and after merging with Tasty Bacon became Heller Tasty Limited. The purchase of Vienna Sensational Foods gave the company national distribution and in 2002, Heller’s Sensational London Pride sausage was judged New Zealand’s best.

Today over 400 staff can produce up to 350 tonnes of sausages in 80 different varieties a week along with bacon, ham and other service deli smallgoods.

Our modern plants have kept pace with technology without compromising the traditional values and standards of quality upon which our reputation has been founded. The strictest health and quality guidelines are applied to all our processes and only the very best ingredients are acceptable.

Hellers is always ready to embrace new technology in order to keep ahead with product innovation and consumer appeal. Our research and development programmes continue to meet and exceed the requirements of our customers in supermarket and food service markets.

The Kaiapoi District Historical Society was formed in 1960 and is responsible for preserving records and artefacts of Kaiapoi and the surrounding area, in the Kaiapoi Museum.

Rooms in the old fire station in Williams Street (now demolished) were first used to store and show items.

In about 1970 the Society reported on the lack of any firm proposals about the future of the former courthouse which had ceased hearings in 1951. Both the Historic Places Trust and the Kaiapoi Borough Council gave their wholehearted support for the building to be used as a museum.

In 1971 the Council purchased the building, but it was not until 1982 that the Society moved in. The courthouse building suffered significant damage in the September 2010 earthquake and was demolished on 10 September 2010.

The Kaiapoi Museum collection now has a new home in the Ruataniwha Kaiapoi Civic Centre.

The committee of the Society evaluates items donated for it to hold, however they have to be selective and concentrate on items relating to the Kaiapoi River, port, woollen mill and other Kaiapoi industries. Family, church, clubs and societies and some school records and photographs are also held.

We would love more information on our heritage sites. If you have information we would like to hear it.

Kaiapoi North School opened in 1962 meaning that in 2012 we celebrated our 50th Jubilee. We are a “full primary” school catering for Year 1-8 children in our spacious, vibrant and well-maintained school. As well as 23 classrooms we have a specialist music room, a welcoming library, a hall large enough for our whole school assemblies and a large, safe playground. In 2016-2018 we undertook a major building project which saw new classroom blocks built and the refurbishment of existing classrooms.

Our children live within the Kaiapoi township, in The Pines Beach and Kairaki Beach. Kaiapoi is approximately 15 minutes north of Christchurch. In 2010 and 2011 our town was shaken by earthquakes with some of our properties classified red. Our community have supported each other through these tough times and through our strength we have ensured our children have been given emotional support to assist them with what they have experienced. Over 2,000 additional sections are planned to be completed in Kaiapoi by the end of 2021 so we are seeing a period of sustained growth as we welcome new families into our town and school community.

Our school roll peaked at 565 in 2019. We have a starting roll in 2020 of 510 which we expect will grow to around 560 children by the end of the year. Approximately 71% identify as NZ European, 18% identify as Maori, 5% Pasifika, 2% as British/Irish, 2% Asian with the remaining 2% being made up of other ethnicities.

We are proud of the achievement and progress of our children. As well as focussing on the core curriculum areas we provide a wide range of opportunities for our children in The Arts, PE and Health, and in Maori and Pasifika Culture. KNS is a great place to be/ We welcome all visitors to experience our positive school culture and look forward to meeting new families as they enrol at our school where personal excellence is strived for and our Values and Beliefs are lived (Connect, Create, Reflect, Respect, be Brave).

Welcome to Portobelo Kaiapoi Preschool & Nursery, where children love to play and learn. We have been part of the Kaiapoi community since 2004 and are small, friendly, locally owned and operated, and have a stable long serving team of dedicated teachers.

We are located in a quiet residential area in Kaiapoi, well away from the industrial zone, petrol stations and motorway.

Our preschool and nursery are connected by a covered walkway, and have separate street addresses. The preschool for 3 to 5 year olds has a large natural outdoor space, with fruit trees, decking, edible gardens, and plenty of room for exploration and activities. Every day the children use this space for swinging, digging, running, climbing, playing ball games, riding their bikes and tending our gardens. They learn about challenge and risk, problem-solving, working with others, perseverance, and responsibility for the environment, while making discoveries in this rich environment. . Indoors we have a number of cosy inviting areas thoughtfully set up by teachers each day, that encourage children to engage in sustained creative play. We also have a separate café area where the children eat together and take part in larger group activities. We have a wide range of ever-changing resources that invite cooperation and joint work on projects of various natures and sizes. Children learn about respect, responsibility and community, while developing friendship skills, creativity, problem solving, along with literacy and numeracy. For our older children, we have a specially designed ‘Ready for School’ programme, which ensures each child is well set up for success when they enter formal schooling.

Our Kaiapoi Nursery specialises in individualised and responsive care for infants and children from 0 to 3 years old. We are down a long drive, tucked away on a quiet residential street, with our outdoor play areas at the back and well away from the street. Here there are trees, grass, swings, a sandpit and 'mud kitchen', gardens and decking, with spaces designed to encourage children's curiosity and exploration of their natural environment at their own pace. We connect with the preschool so siblings can interact as a natural part of their day. Our indoor areas all have underfloor heating (especially nice for the babies over winter time), lots of play nooks within a larger space, and separate café, art room, and toddler sleep room .We also have a separate playroom and sleep room dedicated to our youngest children, who are not so mobile yet. Both indoor and outdoor environments are freshly set up several times each day to have lots of interesting and inviting play spaces with resources that encourage children to explore deeply, all with a natural feel. We understand how special your child is and we will work hard to ensure the settling in process takes account of what is important to you and your whanau. We offer free orientation visits for you and your child so that relationships can be built between us all. To ensure we get to know each child and family well, and can meet each child’s individual preferences and needs, we work to ratios of 1 adult to 3 babies (under 12 months) and 1 adult to 4 toddlers (12 months and over).

Our preschool has a ratio of 1 adult for up to 8 children.

Property Lifestyle Concepts Ltd was formed to identify suitable parcels of land for development, with a strong emphasis on lifestyle and the community atmosphere of like-minded residents whose behaviour is similar.
“Lifestyle villages for the over 55’s.”
The Concept behind a PLC Village.

A community with common interests.
Residents can be confident that the behaviour of their neighbours will be similar to their own. You can be part of a community with common interests where you can form new friendships, and regularly arrange activities and outings for enjoyment.
Larger Villa Sizes.
Larger villa sizes allow you to retain more of your existing belongings.
Freehold Unit Titles.
Ownership of your villa is a freehold unit title as opposed to licence to occupy. This allows you to benefit from the growth in capital value of your villa, rather than licence to occupy where you have limited access to participate in the increased value of your property.

Maintenance of the grounds and common areas.
A body corporate and management company is responsible for the maintenance of the grounds, common areas and the external maintenance of the dwellings.
More independence and greater quality of life.
Overall you will have more time to get out and live your life stress and worry free due to the services and security provided by the on-site caretaker.
“We truly believe that living in a PLC Village will provide you with the best opportunity to continue your lifestyle in a secure new environment without the hassles and worry of ongoing maintenance. It will also enable you to maintain your independence while at the same time allowing you to make new friends and enjoy your new found freedom so that you can live the latter years of your life to the full.”
