Community Classes
Have you ever wanted to learn to play the Ukulele, or want to make your own Xmas Cards, are you looking to increase your clarity and confidence or have a guitar that you want to be more than a display item.
During October and November there will be 4 community classes being held in the Hastings Service Centre Hub to not only educate but also bring the community together.
- Beginner Guitar Lessons and Beginner Ukulele Lessons with Steve Webb
- A better me - Women's Workshop - Focusing on goal setting, clarity, confidence, mindefulness, taking action and more with Kristyl from Maia Dreams
- Xmas card making class with Grace Green - scrapbooking, stamping and papercraft
There is a minimum of 4 participants for each class. If you are interested please contact amber.mcarthur@redcross.org.nz or pop by the Service Centre to register.
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)
.
