Donations for Fundraising for local roopu Te Huatai Katorika
Kia ora neighbours.
My daughter is part of a local roopu Te Huatai Katorika which is made up of three kapahaka groups from Sacred Heart College, St Bernards College and St Patrick's College.
They are in serious need of new piupiu and also need money for covering weekend stays at local Marae for the roopu to practice for kapahaka regionals and hopefully nationals next year. If any local businesses would be willing to donate items or services, it would be truly appreciated and we would display your businesses name as one of our supporters. This is also quite time sensitive as the raffle is going to be sold at our po whakanui on Thursday 17th October. Please message me if you are willing to donate towards our cause. Thanking you all so much for your consideration and helping our children realize their goals for 2024/2025 Kapahaka Regionals Journey. Letter from the school is attached for your consideration.

Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
