Te Kowhai News November issue

The Editor from Te Kowhai Newsletter

This is the last issue for 2018 (seriously…. Has this year gone fast or what?)

In this issue you’ll find:

* An interview with Renae Smart from Civtec. Civtec is a local company and just last week, Renae won the 2018 Emerging Leader award at the Westpac Business Awards.
* Lots of great wheel photos. Credit to the weathered wheel shown in this post goes to Suzy McPhail.
* Stocking filler ideas for little girls.
* Summer salad recipe from Louise Hopkins.
* Dog training support from Heather Westerby-Jones
* Christmas services at St Stephen’s Church (see ad on P7)
* Heritage stories by Graham McBride.
* Politics, Council and Community Group news from local contributors.

In January I’ll be collecting up holiday snaps from the community so I’d love it if you could send something in for page 2. Send me a snap from your phone of you or those around you taking a break from school or work: tekowhainews@gmail.com

I hope you enjoy reading this latest issue.

Kind regards

Amanda

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
