Playgroup at St Hilda's 311 The Parade Island Bay 9.00 am Tuesdays
Our drop-in playgroup is operating as usual on Tuesdays. We are open for caregivers and their pre-kindy, pre-playcentre or pre-school children. We have a wide range of developmental toys for children, while you can enjoy a cup of coffee/tea plus some nibbles and a chat with others. Everything is provided: all you have to do is drop in to our warm hall and enjoy playing with your child or watching them develop and begin to interact with other children in a no pressure environment. Most of our children are in the 0 to 2 years age range. All we ask is a Koha to cover refreshments, and the pleasure of your company!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Merry Christmas -
I have around twenty, empty 10-liter distilled water bottles to serve as emergency water storage. I saved them for my friends, but they already have their own water supplies. Take as many as you like. Please respond to this notice if you are interested.
Best wishes - Michael
