Introducing our new Youth Development Worker
We'd like to welcome on board our new Youth Development Worker - Alexandra Powell! She will be running our Youth Centre on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Alex has been a Youth Worker at Karori Baptist Church since 2014 and has also worked at Karori Normal School - so she knows our community and young people well.
In Alex's own words she is "fulfilled by roles with meaning and purpose. My heart's desire is to support those who need it most in our country and in our world, using the skills that I have been given."
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)
.

Can anyone give advice on how to do this? I have already reported the interference to the neighbourly team.
