Term 1 Classes + Activities at Parnell Community Centre
Term 1 classes will go ahead under đ¨ Red Light đ¨ restrictions so sign up today at villagesquare.org.nz/enrol to secure your place!
Under the guidance set out by the government, we're excited that we can proceed with Term 1 classes as planned under the Red Light alert level. We will have the following precautions in place to ensure the safety of our students and staff:
âĄď¸ Class numbers will be limited based on social distancing measures.
âĄď¸ Vaccine passes will be required. Present this to your tutor at the first class of term.
âĄď¸ Face masks must be worn inside the Jubilee Building at all times. If youâre doing an exercise class masks can be removed once youâre inside the room.
If for some reason your class is unable to go ahead (eg. Lockdown, further restrictions etc.) you will be refunded for all remaining classes or you can receive a credit note to use for future terms. We will also offer a virtual option so some classes can continue if possible.
If you have any further questions about how Covid-19 restrictions may affect classes, please do not hesitate to contact us at community@villagesquare.org.nz

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to âexuberanceâ? đĽ
In The Postâs opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, weâre âallergic to exuberance.â
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps itâs worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens arenât seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days â the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, whoâs made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
