Rāwhiti School wins Australasian landscape award

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Father of two Tim Scott has taken more than just a parent’s interest in his children’s school.

The professional landscape architect helped design Rāwhiti School’s landscape – a decile 3 school in Christchurch’s North New Brighton – which won an Australasian award for the final product.

The design impressed even Scott's toughest critics – his two children – who use their school’s playground on the weekends.

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!

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.

But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
