Help us upgrade our Playground
Miramar North School is a fabulous place filled with happy children who love learning and playing together, and amazing, supportive teachers. Our playground, on the other hand, needs a bit of TLC.
While our school's education practices continue to evolve, our playground has been left back in the '80s (which is apparently the 'olden days' according to our kids). It's time to give it some love and create an environment that inspires our kids to climb, challenge themselves, get fit, and have fun together in the outdoors.
The whole community is set to benefit from our Playground Upgrade but we need a bit of support to get the project off the ground.
UPDATE: Thanks to the support of our community we have bought our first piece of equipment but we still need help to fund its installation and ensure it's safe and sound for the kids to play on (e.g. paying for the wood chip that sits underneath the equipment, building the surrounding retainer for wood chip - this crucial part of the project is still very expensive even with discounts and we need to source around $3000). Every dollar (and cent) counts.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?
Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?
What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

What flowers are blooming in your garden?
Kia ora neighbours,
In our September mag, Amy Roberts from Villaleigh Plants has a list of her favourite blooms for long display. "If you want a long season, look beyond the flowers," is her advice. Here are her picks: Geranium phaeum 'Mourning Widow', Salvia leucantha, Hylotelephium 'Autumn Joy' (pictured), Eryngium pandanifolium and Alchemilla mollis.
Have you got them in your garden? In fact, we'd love to see what you've got in bloom now. Post a photo and share the joy!
