Hire a Hand

Lucy from Akina

Hello neighbors!

Havelock North High School is doing a Hire a Hand day where people in the community can hire a student to do some work. My daughter is a junior and needs $20. She is earning maths credits 3 years above her year level (year 9) in year 12 and is happy to help with primary/intermediate student with homework or extra peer-tutoring. She is also advanced 2-3 years ahead in English and held leadership roles. She is also fluent in Mandarin and is also happy to do other types of work.

Available on this Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday as well as after school. Only work in or near Hastings please!

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Cleaning a heat pump

Barbara from Raureka

Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
