Holiday Programme

Charlotte Evers from Playhouse Challenge

Birthright Canterbury and Te Ora Hou Otautahi are delighted to offer a FREE holiday programme for young boys (13-16 years old) from one parent families.

The holiday programme takes place from 26-28 April at various locations including Taylors Mistake, Hanmer Springs and more! There are confidence and team building activities and as well as lots of physical activities and fun things for young boys. Participants will be asked to bring their packed lunch and complete some forms (e.g. consent, medical, registration).

Please contact us as soon as possible to secure a place, as space is very limited. Ring 366-9456 to register and for any further information.

Special thanks to The Sutherland Self Help Trust for their support.

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
