The Yellow Ribbon Alliance, a group of firms raising awareness of road trauma, is promoting use of the colour to highlight road safety.
Road Safety Week participants can show their support by wearing yellow or donning a yellow ribbon pin.
Members of the public are invited to go yellow to show their support.
Organisations will be reminding drivers to stick below the speed limit, especially around schools and communities, and to adhere to the 20 km/h limit for passing a school bus.
School students are busy making posters reminding drivers to slow down, and will be dressed in yellow.
In its 10th year, the annual week will focus on speed with the Streets for Life theme.
More than 80,000 speed notices were issued around schools last year.
One in four people killed on New Zealand roads were in a crash where someone drove too fast for the conditions.
Speeding was a contributing factor in 79 fatal crashes and 424 serious injury crashes last year.
In 2020, more than 4000 speed notices and more than 80,000 speed camera notices were issued for offences near schools during school hours.
Learn what to do when recycling broken glass. Large chunks are ok, as long as they are from grocery packaging. Always remember when recycling if in doubt, leave it out.

Did you pick up that one student commented that there was no meat in the free lunch, and therefore it wasn't worth eating?
Not one of those kids was remotely skinny, mostly overfed and definitely ungrateful.
From now on my charity will stay strictly at home. Help with grandchildren's exorbitant Uni fees, and the so called hungry can be choosy with someone else's contribution.

An Avondale father skilled in kung fu confronted a group of youths who hospitalised his son’s friend in a random attack.

Matua Ngarino had a knife pulled on him in Avondale’s Riversdale Park after confronting a group of boys who he believed had attacked a 12-year-old a few days prior.
The attack had sent the boy, who had been at the park with Ngarino’s sons, to Starship Hospital and made his own sons afraid of going outside, Ngarino said.
“The boys surrounded me, and one pulled a knife. I gave him the opportunity to walk away before they all got hurt.
“With my background in wing chung kung fu I was ready for the unexpected. I warned them a second time to walk away from the situation, they hesitated at first, but they came to their senses and walked away.”
Back in 1989, Ngarino said he had trained in wing chung kung fu in Christchurch, and while he had taught his children to walk away from confrontation, said he knew how to defend himself.
Wing chung kung fu is a form of self-defence requiring quick arm movements and strong kicks to defeat opponents.
While at the park Ngarino took photographs of the boys he believed were involved and sent them to police.

Ross’ retirement saw the beginning of his musical journey where his passion quickly evolved from making music, to crafting guitars. It all started when Ross and some mates joined a music group where the camaraderie and togetherness were just as important as the music.
Living in a Ryman village, Ross can continue living life to the full in his retirement because they are places where you don’t retire from life, you find a new way to live .
