Safe Ways to School
Safe Ways to School is a community engagement project (part of Active Whakatāne) that uses in-class and online surveys, as well as geospatial mapping technology, to engage the school community and gather insights for targeted infrastructure and community-wide programmes that promote safe, active travel to and from school (and reduce congestion at the school gate).
We're looking for your input specifically on walking and cycling for transport and recreation.

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
