MEGANZ School of Visual Arts wishes you all a Happy Summer Holiday

Megan from MEGANZ School of Visual Arts

We have come to the end of our year of having some serious fun creating, exploring, and learning heaps of new artistic processes.
I am very proud of all our students. They have worked hard, produced some amazing artwork, and learned a few art tricks along the way.

We will be opening again from 29th January for our eight-week 'Art Development Courses' for students aged between tweens, teens, and adults. We have afternoon, evening, and Saturday class times available. Best to check out our website for details, www.vizart.co.nz... and from there, go onto our school Instagram page to see what our students have created over this past year.
We always like to arrange for a 20-minute meet-and-greet appointment before students begin. So between now and when we start give Megan a call or a text to make a time to meet.
Look forward to hearing from you for some creative artistic fun for 2024

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In October, the fine for parking in a designated mobility car park without a permit has jumped from $150 to $750—a 400% increase!

The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.

Smoke in Mt Wellington

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.

Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.

Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.

Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.

A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.

At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
