Morning tea and talent at Rawhiti ;-)

Megan from Rawhiti Estate

Below is a snippet that was in last week’s NZ Herald about a National schools Barbershop Quartet – these young folk won by a landslide! And I am so excited to have them come into Rawhiti to entertain us. I hope you can join us in the Atrium for some morning tea and talent.
When: Wednesday 16th Oct
Where: The Atrium
Time: 10 am

R.S.V.P: Megan – 021778273, 14th October 2019

Making fun of their teachers saw a South Auckland school barbershop quartet take out top prize at this year's Stand Up, Stand Out competition. Aorere College's What the Fourth won the group's vocal section of the annual event, with entertaining observations about some of their teachers.

South Auckland schools dominated the winners' circle of the annual event, which gives young performers the chance to take the first steps down the path toward an entertaining career.

What the Fourth members were also part of the band Pocket-8 who came runners-up to Tangaroa College's C6 in the best band category while singer Andrew Faiai, competed in the solo instrumental category. This was won by Risnm Tangianau, the first ever competitor from a private training establishment, who stole the show playing guitar, drums and a loop pedal.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
