'Care OUT there' newsletter for care groups in our open spaces
Care Groups working in the Whakatāne District do a fabulous job in supporting, advocating, coordinating and providing inspiration to the wider public and the Whakatāne District Council on projects and spaces that are important to them.
We currently have a number of formalised Care Groups working on various ongoing projects around the District, with many other groups and individuals doing their bit on track maintenance, rubbish collection, providing edible food growing spaces, carrying out pest control, and looking after projects important to their marae, kindergarten or club activities, to mention just a few.
Visit the links below to find out more about these groups, how you can get involved and view the latest issue of the 'Care OUT there' Newsletter
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)
.
