Term 1 Art Courses begining from 7th Februrary
Happy New Year everyone,
I hope this coming year is kind to you all and you have some great new projects in mind to get your teeth into.
MEGANZ School of Arts has an exciting first term planned ahead for our creative students, which runs for eight weeks from Tuesday 7th February. I'm also keen to announce I have my daughter Greta Umbers coming on board to teach my Tuesday class.
We mainly focus on drawing, painting & sculpture throughout the year. We work on a mix of tutor and student-initiated projects. We accept students from the age of 9 through to adults.
We are a home-based school situated in Cockle Bay, Howick.
It has been running since 2007.
I have been an artist all my life since I was old enough to hold a crayon in my hand. Art for me is the way I express myself, it has always helped me work through my challenges in life.
If you would like to find out more about the school take a look at our website - www.vizart.co.nz... Also we have an Instagram page with the student's great artwork showing @meganzsva
All fun and hard work ahead
Look forward to meeting you.
Cheers
Megan Murphy

LIVE Q&A: Financial well-being with Cat Rikihana
Today (Wednesday) we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with Cat Rikihana who is a financial mentor, educator and financial capability practitioner at Financial Freedom Trust in the Manawatū.
Cat Rikihana (Ngai Tahu) like many financial mentors around Aotearoa, works with individuals, groups and whānau to successfully navigate financial stress and hardship. Mentors work alongside whānau to increase confidence and skills in personal money management and advocate with and for clients. Cat enjoys delivering online and face-to-face workshops which provide opportunities to normalise money conversations and encourages people to make time to consider their financial well-being.
Cat is also an independent financial well-being coach, educator and indigenous life coach at Restore Wellness Network. She is a published writer and currently in the process of writing her first non-fiction book: 'A financial self-care guide for women in Aotearoa.'
She'd love to answer any questions you may have around your budgeting and spending habits, strategies for saving, retirement planning and debt. (Don't be shy, but be mindful about what you disclose!)
