The Team from Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre

Bookings are now open for our Junior Rangers School Holiday Programme, running 10:30am-2:30pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from the 11th -27th of January 2022.

Junior Rangers is suitable for all tamariki aged 5 - 14 years.

Each day's activities will be different and limited to just 10 children. We recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.

The programme aims to give tamariki a fun, 'hands-on', outdoor educational experience in our wonderful ngahere amongst all the wildlife that live here. See our iconic tuna (eels) being fed and visit the Kiwi House and behold juvenile kiwi as they hunt for bugs and worms. Exploration and Discovery is encouraged!

Includes lunch to suit the dietary requirements of all hardy Explorers!

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.
