Wet kids
How many kids will be biking, scootering, walking, dashing between cover or raindrops, wearing coats, with their hoods down, filling up with water or not even out of the collars?
Why do kids choose to sit in class all day wet? I didn’t when I was a kid. If I had a raincoat or hooded jacket, I wore it with the hood up, when it rained.
If your kids are wearing HNHS jackets, yes, they absolutely do have hoods. Those aren’t padded collars. They are actually the hoods, rolled into the collar. The zip is on the outside, under the flap, at the seam.
If your kid has a “padded” collar on their jacket or raincoat, check it. Chances are good it’s a hood. Especially the little ones. It’s not nice being wet and warm any more than being wet and cold. And some teachers don’t keep their classes warm
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
