Matariki Celebration, Pukerua Bay 2017
Hopefully you are all aware of the Matariki Celebration we're organising for Saturday 24 June (next weekend! Have you invited all your family and friends yet?). We have grand plans for the event but there are only 7 of us, and unfortunately we don't have access to a cloning machine, so we would really appreciate it if some of you could spare a couple of hours to help out during the event.
The tasks we need help with include: doing simple kids face painting (using stencils to make it easy), serving hot drinks, and stewarding people along the route of the Starry Night walk (ie from the school, through the Secret Valley and back - we need people stationed at specific points along the route).
As a small thank you for donating your time, you will get a free sausage sizzle and hot drink.
If you're interested and would like more details, please get in touch with me asap. Thanks <3
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)
.
