Auckland Council local boards have youth scholarships available for rangatahi!
Auckland Council local boards have youth scholarships available for rangatahi in our rohe. These grants can help towards tertiary and vocational training costs. One of our amazing Maaori Health staff, Terijean Murray, received one of these grants towards her studies.
"This scholarship gave me the motivation and confidence to complete my studies at University of Auckland. It reduce the financial pressures on myself and whaanau. It has also allowed me to create and foster new relationships and networks within my community."
Applications are open until 18 October! For more information on how you can tap into these scholarships, check the Auckland Council website and click on your area: bit.ly...
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
