Welcome to Marsden!

Inge Doig from Samuel Marsden Collegiate School

We started the year with a fabulous Powhīri, welcoming new staff, students and families. So lovely to see all the new faces, as well as our returning students and staff. Many thanks to student kaea Tuia and Araraina, parent Derek Kawiti for the tangata whenua, Ashley Te-Whare for the manuhiri, and Sarah Molisa who led in our manuhiri. After such a special start we are looking forward to a great year ahead.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Ruth from Aro Valley

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