School Holiday Robotics Camp

Thilanga from Lincoln

Keeping children meaningfully occupied can be a real challenge — especially during the school break. If you're keen for your child to take their first steps into the exciting world of robotics, I’m hosting a free hands-on robotics workshop on 23rd September at the Upper Riccarton Community Library.

🧠 Kids will get the chance to:
✅ Program real robots using visual, beginner-friendly programming tools
✅ Solve fun, real-world problems using creative thinking
✅ Explore the world of STEM — no prior experience needed!

👧👦 Open to kids aged 8+
💻 Each child will need access to a laptop
📍 Limited to 20 spots — register early to secure your place!

What's your best cost-saving tip?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Just when we thought the cost of living couldn't climb any higher...it does. While things like fuel prices are out of our control, many of us are looking for small, practical ways to stretch our dollars a bit further. So let’s put our heads together!

Over the next little while, we’ll be sharing tips to help you save money — and we’d love to hear yours too. What’s working for you right now?

Here are a few ideas to get started:
🎉 Plan ahead for the year (birthdays, events, travel) to avoid surprise costs
🪙 Check out $2 shops for everyday items like stationery, baking paper, foil, and cling wrap - often much cheaper than the supermarket
🐖 Bring back the piggy bank and save your loose change
🔨 DIY where you can - like mowing the lawn instead of paying someone
💵 Set a daily budget before heading out and stick to it (cash can help!)
🧴 Stretch household products by diluting things like shampoo or dishwashing liquid
