Rangiora's newest school nearly ready to open

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Building work at Rangiora's newest school, Te Matauru Primary, will continue after it officially opens for the school year.

Some parts of the school still look more like a building site than playing fields, but the group walked around the administration and teaching blocks, and had a sneak preview of the school hall.

Landscaping is expected to continue over the next two weeks, before the school officially opens to its new pupils on February 7.

The technology block and additional teaching space is expected to be completed later in term 1.

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)
.

Share your ideas for WDC waste management

Frank from Waikuku & Waikuku Beach

My wife received an email from the Waimak Council at the beginning of September inviting her say on waste management. I assume from the very little response that very few people received this email and even know about this. Here is the link so you can put in your input. letstalk.waimakariri.govt.nz...
