Remuera Intermediate 1960 and 1961 Class photos
Hi, did you or someone in your family, go to Remuera Intermediate in 1960 and 1961. I'm looking for class photos and any photos of sports teams at that time. I would like to come to your home and rephotograph the photos assuming I am in them. Two teachers I can recall whose classes I was in are Miss Isaacs and Mr Foy. I am into family history, and probably like many at that time, class photos were just about the only photos one had of themselves growing up. If you can help, I'd love to hear from you.

Smoke in Mt Wellington
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“.
