Bishopdale Plunket – Story Times

Community Development Worker from Bishopdale Community Trust

Bishopdale's newest playgroup is all about babies and toddlers being exposed to books.

Books which allow your baby / toddler the opportunity to explore by touch, viewing and also hearing the story being read to them.

At the beginning of each session a book especially hand-picked each week will be read to the group then parents are invited to relax and enjoy the space.

We have allocated a safe and secured spot on the deck which is fenced at Ōrauwhata: Bishopdale Library.

If weather is a bit cold, we will move the group inside. Families are invited to bring their morning tea to enjoy in the outdoor space.

Starting – Monday 22nd February, 10am – 11am, Ōrauwhata: Bishopdale Library.

For more information, please contact – Babs Sutherland at babs.sutherland@plunket.org.nz

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.
