A beautiful start to the school year

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

A beautiful summers day, for the first day of the 2023 school year.

Take care out there, everyone. And drivers, stay OFF your phones, even if you aren’t moving. If you are on the road it is illegal, dangerous and stupid to be on your phone.

A beautiful summers day, for the first day of the 2023 school year.

Take care out there, everyone. And drivers, stay OFF your phones, even if you aren’t moving. If you are on the road it is illegal, dangerous and stupid to be on your phone.

If you must still use them, learn how to do it handsfree. My kid can. Why can’t you?

And you really don’t need to drive all the way to the school gates to drop them off and pick them up.

If they can manage manouvering around the school, like Olympian’s, during the day, they can manage manoeuvring to the car, a street or 2 away.

Don’t park in the bus stops. Every school week, every year, outside every school, people park in the bus stops. The sections of Guthrie Rd, either side of Nimon St, are BUS STOPS, between 2.45 and 3.30pm. DO NOT PARK IN THEM! No, you won’t be just a couple of minutes. Yes, it is a HUGE problem. Don’t do it. Outside any school.

If you don’t want to sit in traffic for an hour, waiting for your precious cargo, park further away. I leave to pick mine up at 3pm. When his school finishes. I’m home by 3.15pm. And there are 3 schools in the one block. 2 with entrances right next to each other, in a cul de sac with access to the third.

I park 2 streets away. And the same cars are still sitting there, when I leave, as when I arrived, and they are no closer to the school.

Stop BEING the traffic you are so worried about.

· Hey everyone 💛
Unfortunately this little explorer has got out and is making his way through Bay View. I left for work this morning and he was in the gate but some how he’s managed to escape. If everyone could please keep a look out I’d really appreciate it. He is very small and very friendly and I’m worried he has actually been attacked by another dog.
Could people around Bay View also please check their sheds around Rogers Road. He may have some how got stuck in there too. I'm going to have posters made and go door knocking over the weekend in hopes that someone has him.
He went missing from Rogers Road. Last seen midday yesterday on Rogers Road.
Thanks heaps

Poll: Are uniform rules at schools sexist?

Many schools allow female students to wear earrings but male students aren't allowed to have an ear stud. Is it time to get rid of gender-based rules in regards to jewellery?
