Boosted campaign - please share with your network
Hi there,
Hawke’s Bay Youth Theatre has a Boosted crowdfunding campaign on for the next couple of weeks fundraising for a fab cast of local young actors. Watch them in rehearsal here: www.boosted.org.nz...
They are performing Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet in an edgy, modern production that is touring to Hawke’s Bay schools in July and then to schools in Brisbane. These kids need support for their Boosted campaign - a donation would be fantastic, but just spreading the word would be really helpful too.
Public performances are at Keirunga Gardens, Havelock North on Friday 5th and Saturday 6th July.
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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Cleaning a heat pump
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.
