Hey everyone- Just letting any students, or parents of students know about a safe, free space for them to study during exams this year!**

What is the Hub?**
The Hub is a free, safe space for students to come, study in peace and de-stress during NCEA exams in November. We’ll have a quiet room to study in with occasional tutors poping in to help. We’ll also have another room setup for people to hang out and chat.

When and where?
Every Thursday and Friday throughout November from 11am - 6pm in the side hall of Hills Church (179 Hillsborough Road, Hillsborough)

Who’s behind it and why?
The Hub is run by Hills Church, specifically Jeremy the Youth Director. The reason we’re doing this is simple, we realise that this time of year is incredibly stressful for those facing exams. Given the year thats been, the disruptions from multiple lockdowns and the pressure to perform, we want to do our bit to help the youth of our community, to ease stress levels and fears surrounding exams.

What’s the catch?
There isn’t one. This is our way of honoring and blessing our community. We want to see the students surrounding us healthy and doing the best they can in all areas!

How do I get in touch?
You can find out more by contacting the Hills office or Jeremy directly.

People will be able to walk over the Manukau Harbour this weekend where the new Mangere Bridge is being built.

They are invited to an information day this Saturday for the old Mangere Bridge replacement project.

People can meet the team behind the bridge build and learn more about the new walking, cycling and fishing bridge spanning the harbour.

The information day will be held from 9.30am to 1pm at the Waterfront Reserve in Mangere Bridge.

Visitors will be able to walk on the temporary staging, which is like a temporary road in the harbour, said Waka Kotahi senior manager project delivery Andrew Thackwray.

The staging allows cranes to move out over the water alongside where the new bridge is under construction.

Earmarked for completion in 2022, the new bridge will restore the walking, cycling and fishing connection to the Mangere Bridge and Onehunga communities.

The new bridge will boost space between the piers for waka, canoes and small watercraft to sail through Mangere Inlet.

Thackwray said the event will be a great chance for people to see close up what the team is doing.

"They are very proud of the progress they are making and will be on site to explain what they're doing and answer any questions," he said.

A sausage sizzle and activities to entertain children are also planned.

A limited number of people will be able to check out the big cofferdams created in the harbour to build the bridge piers.

A cofferdam is a watertight box made from joined steel plates driven up to 20 metres below the seabed and rising above the water level at high tide.

Workers had to pump 1.4 million litres of water to create a dry working space in one of the biggest cofferdams which stretches 25 metres by 12.5 metres.

A crane lowered a digger into the cofferdam to dig through 2.5 metres of mud to reach the seabed.

Workers then had to remove 1100 cubic metres of mud - enough to fill 187 trucks.

They poured a concrete floor which will be the foundation of construction of the first pier.

“The cofferdams and the temporary staging will only be in place for as long as they’re needed to construct the bridge, so this is a one-off chance for some people to come and see them up close and understand what they’re for," Thackwray said.

Tickets to the site tour will be limited and subject to health and safety requirements.

This part of the information day may be cancelled if bad weather hits.
