NZ Sign Language Course in Whangarei
Big ups to Eddie and co for arranging the sign language courses in Whangarei. I have only been to one lesson so far but Eddie is patient, has a great SOH and is really keen to have other people learn his language (the third official NZ language) and I can see it is going to be a fun-filled 10 weeks where we are going to learn the basics at the very least. Thanks have to go out to the team who helped make it so affordable as they are keen for the comminuty to be able to talk to them and to the council for a bit of funding too.
The only thing is, to those doing the course, we might need to organise times to meet up and Practice! Practice! Practice! :-)
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)
