Poem penned to curious pre-schooler

Seamus Boyer from Wellington City Council

It’s not too often that Council officers reply to queries from the public with poems about poop. In fact, it’s fair to say a recent response to 4-year-old Joshua might well be the first.

Read the story, and the poem, here: wellington.govt.nz...

Bosch dishwasher to give away

Martin from Wilton

Howdy. Our old Bosch dishwasher is available free to anyone that wants it. It is working but does get an error from time to time indicating water in the base, so there is probably a seal issue that needs to be resolved.

A fabulous summer tournament sport week!
Beautiful weather at MAADI for our rowers, 3 crews through to semi finals and Grace and Sophie are rowing in a B final on Saturday. Our volleyball girls, playing in their first ever Volleyball Nationals, just won their final game. The team ended up 7th in Division 6, great first effort! The Marsden cricket team had a convincing win over Kapiti College, setting a tough target of 126 runs to take the Premier 2 Championship (Kapiti scored 82). The team performed the best they have all season and were excited to win and achieve their goal to remain unbeaten throughout the competition. Go Marsden!

We would welcome clubs to share with the six clubs here.

There are toilets, changing rooms, kitchen and storage.

This space would also suit such as Pilates, Feldenkrais, Tai-chi or other activities that have need for mats. Especially if you need space during the day. Inquire to see if suits you.


The smaller space which has a polished wood floor could be securely separated with access to the common areas of toilets, changing rooms, kitchen and storage.

We loved her messages of the importance of using privilege and power to make change, of getting to know people whose world view is different from your own, and of valuing the amazing care and support that comes with a Marsden education. A strong contingent of girls enjoyed a follow-up free and frank discussion with Madeleine and came away buzzing. Thank you Madeleine, we are so proud of you!
