The big busy business of school holiday programmes

Matthew Dallas Reporter from Manawatū Standard

Hi neighbours,
The myriad of options for school holiday programmes these days is incredible, both in terms of the activities offered and the range in cost. We'd love to talk to parents about how they navigate through it. How do you find the right one for your child? What are the most important factors? Please comment below or email: alex.loo@stuff.co.nz

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

I have a ceramic lamp base that I’d like to be made in to a lamp. Anyone out there that can do the job?

Thank you!
