Titahi Bay Beach Festival
Kia ora whanau, as the Titahi Bay beach festival is creeping up fast with only a few weeks away, we are all getting extremely excited!! Amazing food, entertainment and beach activities. We will provide free sun screen. For the kids activities we will provide some equipment such as shovels, buckets and balls but to ensure everyone gets a go, it may pay to bring your own shovels and buckets. Make sure they are labelled and are close to you.
We are seeking any help from the community, scouts, girl guides to donate an hour or so of your time to supervise some of the children's activities and to make sure everything is running smoothly around this area. (just simply PM me or the beach festival page)
We will have volleyball, ring toss, ball throwing, sand castles and a big dig going all day. At 4pm we will have sack races and tug of war to test your strengths.
So come along! Bring your shovels, buckets and picnic baskets, relax and enjoy a wonderful afternoon with friends and whanau
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
