An Instrumental Journey

Social Media Manager from Tuia 250 ki Tōtaranui

Representatives from the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra visited Whitney Street School this morning ahead of their September performances called 'Tuia - An Instrumental Journey' which has been put together for Tuia 250.

There was a combination of European and traditional Māori instruments.

One of New Zealand’s leading Taonga Pūoro specialists, Horomona Horo, explained to the children about the Māori instruments, and how NZ is now a multi-cultural society with music from around the world.

The performance will be an awesome experience to hear how Taonga Pūoro and the orchestra sound together!

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
