Whale rescue course in Wellington.

Louisa Hawkes from Project Jonah New Zealand

New Zealand is the whale stranding capital of the world. Each year, hundreds of whales and dolphins strand on our shores. Whilst some are sick or injured, others are healthy and just need a helping hand back out to sea. But saving whales isn't as easy as it looks and successful rescue often … View moreNew Zealand is the whale stranding capital of the world. Each year, hundreds of whales and dolphins strand on our shores. Whilst some are sick or injured, others are healthy and just need a helping hand back out to sea. But saving whales isn't as easy as it looks and successful rescue often depends on properly trained volunteers. That's where you come in.

Project Jonah are running two Marine Mammal Medic training courses in Wellington next weekend. Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th November.

Learn the skills needed to look after whales and dolphins when they strand and make a real difference. Wellington is a key region to support the mass strandings that happen on an almost annual basis at Farewell Spit. Once trained you'll be added to our national callout list. That means that when a stranding occurs your lifesaving skills can be called upon.

Hi neighbours (near and far). This is an opportunity to have a great night out with the family, and all for a good cause.

In 2012, I was lucky enough to travel to Antarctica with 50-odd others. I had the pleasure of the company of award-winning comedian Te Radar on that trip, and saw his fascination and engagement with the place grow along the way. After we had returned, I was delighted to learn he had put together a show about the unique and downright odd history of Antartica. He performed this in Christchurch at the IceFest (where it was very well received), and subsequently in Auckland (ditto). Given he had not previously performed it in Wellington, Cardinal McKeefry School (which my children attend) thought it would a magnificent opportunity to get him to put it on as a joint venture with the school. Finally, it's about to happen... Te Radar is a supreme performer, and family friendly (although he notes that references to self-surgery may be a little strong for very young stomachs). This a great opportunity to have a fun, educational night out with the family.
See the attached poster for details. Grab a ticket, and see you there! And if, for any reason, you can't make it, please promote it as widely as you can.
