The Stars are ready to shine - again!

Chris Beath from Taranaki Symphony Orchestra

After being hit by COVID (twice!) the Student Stars concert is back on again - this time on Sunday 18th October at 3 pm in the Theatre Royal.
But this does mean the 12 performers have had extra time to rehearse. Where else can you hear 12 top student musicians and two orchestras? The Taranaki Symphony Orchestra and the Taranaki Youth Orchestra have combined for this concert which will be an exciting and fantastic concert - great for the whole family.
For those who bought tickets for the previous postponed concert, your tickets and seats are still valid for the 18th. Otherwise tickets are still available from Ticketek (either at the box office or on-line).

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)
