School history immersed for 25 years: Mt Eden

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Students from a Mt Eden primary school have buried their history for the next generation to unravel.

The Maungawhau School learners submerged a time capsule capturing 2020 inside a concrete pipe.

Sealed for 25 years will be a teddy bear to mark the area's highly touted teddy bear hunt during Auckland's lockdown.

Students have also concealed a face mask, a QR code for the school, newsletters, class photos, along with diary entries about 2020 and homeschooling.

The treasures will be dug up and delved into during the school's 100th annual fair.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Xmas lights exploded

Jan from Te Atatu South

My Christmas tree lights controller exploded in a ball of flames last night, so please be careful, Ive had them for a few years. If I hadnt been in the room it would have been a fire.
