Place making - workshops!
Greening the Rubble and the Phillipstown Community Hub are going to build an extraordinary, astonishing, marvellous outdoor gathering space for the people of Phillipstown to use. We are going to start workshops and…..
…..we want you
We are looking for people with all sorts of skills, or wanting to learn skills.
Work sessions will be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9am-12 noon and 1pm - 4pm.
Possibly other days also. You don’t have to stay the whole time, but you do need to be there for the safety training at the start of each session.
We are hoping to start building early November and be finished by Christmas.
If you are interested in being part of this project please register your interest by completing this quick 1 min survey or get in touch with the Phillipstown Community Hub: www.surveymonkey.com...
For information, please come along to the Hub (39 Nursery Road, Room 2) or ring 020 40 69 1419 or (03) 5952023.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
