Welcome to Halswell Bags
We are about to create a new batch of welcome bags!!!
These bags are available from Te Hapua, the Community Hub and other places around the community and contain information to help people new to our community to settle in and feel welcome.
If you have any information that you would like included please contact Kate on 0204 1276083 or halswell.comm@gmail.com.
Be creative - think about what sets your group/business apart. How can you make an impact? What do people want to know? What shows best what you do?
Businesses are encouraged to provide a small gift or voucher to be included in the welcome bags.
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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
