With alcohol, drug use and child abuse through many low socio-economic communities, "teaching primary school children resilience is key to rising above statistics and preparing them to handle what's coming", says Hora Hora Primary School principal Pat Newman.
What do our children need? Is your child's school in "screaming need" of support?

KiwiRail Group Chief Executive Greg Miller says line improvements "would give more certainty for our customers and will make rail an option for Northland businesses and exporters to get their goods to market".
Is this a worthwhile investment? Do you think Northland businesses will benefit from this?
It's 2019 but 91% of councils are still male-dominated. Here in Whangarei, our mayor and deputy mayor have had to overcome the stereotype that women don't make good leaders. What do you think? Do women make good leaders? (Please put NFP if your comments are not for publication)

He said "he got such a fright that he scanned the barcode another few times to make sure he wasn't seeing anything". He got back in the car, found a quiet place to pull over and had a cup of tea from his flask before carrying on with work.
Have you ever been lucky with the lotto? What would you do if you won?

Young aviary raised budgies ready for their new homes. They are not tame. Genders unknown. They have been weaned on soak & sprout seeds mixed with chopped silverbeet/diced apples/grated carrots. They also eat budgie seed. Pick Ups ONLY we are located in Glenbervie.
To celebrate here are 3 words you can use in your next kōrero about mental health + well-being. 🗣🧡

The Maunu Garden Project is a not for profit organisation who grows and donates fresh spray-free produce to our local community and community foodbanks in Whangarei.
We are a small group of volunteers, passionate about getting healthy produce out into our community to those who need it the most. Through local foodbanks and other organisations we are able to deliver seasonable produce most weeks of the year, which is incredible!
We need your help! Awapuni Nurseries have kindly offered to do a 2 week promotion, giving us a special code to pass on to you, so when you put through those spring planting orders we will get 20% of the proceeds (less postage). This starts on Monday 9th September and you MUST use the code which we will post on FB Mon morn. Please go along to our Facebook page for more info, or if you would like to read a bit more about what we do or maybe apply to volunteer that would be awesome! We also have a special giveaway going at the moment so please make sure to enter :-)

This comes after the acknowledgement that for kids, enjoyment is closely tied to how well they perform, something heavily influenced by parents and coaches.
What are your thoughts? Do you think this new approach will benefit our youngsters?
