Orakei art exhibition turns virtual
Ōrākei School’s art sale is making its online debut.
The annual fundraiser by the Friends of Orakei has enticed Auckland art enthusiasts for 11 years.
But this year it will be staged virtually from the school website orakeischool.co.nz...
About 50 artists will display their works online from 6pm on November 13 to 6pm on November 15.
Art Ex coordinator Tiffany Crombie says the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic created a lot of uncertainty for event organisers.
Due to the ongoing possibility of lockdowns that would disrupt an exhibition, the Friends of Orakei School took the bold move to shift its annual art exhibition online, she said.
Funds raised will go towards equipment and resources for the students including technology and musical instruments.
Proceeds are also earmarked for improvements to school facilities, which will benefit the wider Orakei community.
More than $50,000 was raised last year- a record amount for the exhibition.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?

13% No. This would be impossible in practice.
