BrotherHood
Kia ora Whanau,
I’m currently on my placement for Wintec down at Te Ahurei a Rangatahi in the city. Been blessed with the opportunity to serve in an awesome support group called ‘Brotherhood’, which focuses on the health and wellbeing of young males age 12-18yrs who are either not engaging in school maybe a little rough around the edges or your young one just wants to hang out!!. Activities are fun based and revolve around sport, self defence (martial arts), life skills, graffiti art/hip hop and outings, in and around the Waikato area. We meet every Wed 5:00pm-8:30pm with a mean feed to end the night and we also drop off after! If you could be interested, please don’t hesitate to leave a message.
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.
