Pop Up Penguin Competition
Hi parents and caregivers....here's an awesome competition for our tamariki. This is your chance to create a winning design for your very own penguin sculpture to be included on the Pop Up Penguins trail, and then take it home forever! Click the "Read more" button to download the competition form and penguin template.
Harcourts are thrilled to be the Presenting Partner for the Pop up Penguins in Christchurch. A trail of individually decorated sculptures, designed by artists and children, and sponsored by businesses, to give residents and visitors the opportunity to discover and delight in all that makes Ōtautahi unique. At the conclusion of the trail, some of the penguins will be sold at an auction, run by Harcourts, to raise money for Cholmondeley Children’s Centre.
However, there is one little penguin that hasn’t yet been adopted and Harcourts would like to help. Before this plucky little penguin takes their place on the trail, we need to come up with a great new outfit to be painted on. Could you design an outfit for this penguin? This is a very special opportunity for a child (aged 18 and below) living in Canterbury, to create a winning design for a little penguin sculpture to be included on the Pop Up Penguins trail around Canterbury, then keep it forever!
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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?
