Congratulations, Debs!
Winter was in the air and numbers were small at Wednesday's club meeting - but it was quite cosy :)
Among the evening's highlights was Debs, our VP Education, giving her 10th speech, which completes the "Competent Communicator" Manual. As it happens, it was also Debs' last speech at Newtown, as she heads back to the UK next month. We've enjoyed being part of Debs' Toastmasters journey and look forward to hearing how it continues!
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)
.
