Here's some ideas for ways you could get involved:
• swap seeds with a neighbour
• gift a plant you've grown to a neighbour
• take some flowers to a neighbour
• organise a produce swap
• share garden tips or recipes for food in season
• create community gardens or berm pollinator pathways
• host an inclusive garden-themed working bee
• a friendly neighbourhood BBQ with homegrown ingredients
The options are endless! At the end of the day, our shared aim is to help bring people together by encouraging intentional connection with our neighbours. Whether that be organising a street party, sharing a cuppa, or simply saying ‘Kia Ora!” to those who live around you, every action helps to create a safer and more connected New Zealand.

Andrea's team batted 1st, scoring 276, bowling out the Māori girls team for 170. She said "It was a really fun, competitive day with lots of young talent coming through. It is an awesome way to raise the profile of Womens' Cricket and especially the NZ Māori Schools Teams." Players from both teams were presented with Gold pins by the Governor General Dame Patsy Reddy and all players signed a bat which was gifted to the Governor General. It's been a busy time for Andrea as her Wanderers/Blaze XI played the previous weekend at the Basin Reserve vs a Governor General's Secondary School Girls XI. She opened the batting and scored 54 runs towards her team's total of 153 runs, securing a victory against the girls who made 107. A great summer of cricket!
Students were 'introduced' to their instruments in week one of the Year 7 Band Programme. Their journey with either the flute, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet or trombone has begun with their specialist teachers as our Year 7 girls all learn to play an instrument and perform as part of a band.

Once widespread throughout New Zealand, pāteke are our rarest native waterfowl.
Thomas spotted the bird in a Lower Hutt park on Valentine's Day.
According to DOC there are between 2000 and 2500 pāteke with the main populations on Great Barrier Island (700), Northland (600), and Coromandel (400).
The rest of the population is on offshore Islands, including Kāpiti and Mana, and sanctuaries like Zealandia.
They are considered at risk of extinction because they only survive in areas that are actively trapped.
