If students at Wairarapa’s biggest high school want to colour their hair, sport multiple piercings, or wear traditional Pasifika dress, they can now go for it.
Wairarapa College has relaxed its rules around dress.
The new rules:
- Students’ hair can be whatever colour they wish.
- They can have any number of earrings and a maximum of two facial piercings.
- Students may wear a necklace under the shirt collar.
- Visible tattoos require consent from a parent/guardian.
- All uniform items may be worn through the year.
- Sun hats, beanies, lava lava/ie faitaga are optional.
- Girls can wear trousers and/or culottes

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Roller

Warren from Masterton District

Has anybody got a concrete or water filled hand roller that they don't need anymore. I'm putting down a new lawn and need it to compact the dirt down.
