Hi Neighbours,

Auckland uni students have spoken out against on-campus exams this year as their overseas counterparts will be able to check notes while they will not be able to.

Those international and domestic students remaining in New Zealand will be completing their exams under supervised conditions. A university email obtained by Stuff showed that overseas students will also be given a 30 minute grace period, in case of any technical faults, with this time able to be used towards the final exam.

Do you think this is fair?

I'm very pleased that on Wednesday the Kaipātiki Local Board approved the concept plan for the new fenced toddler playground at Jean Sampson Reserve! This has been several years coming and is now scheduled to be constructed between March and June next year :)

The playground will be fenced off to keep little ones safe and the playground pieces chosen are specifically for little crawlers, cruisers, toddlers and climbers. It includes: slides, a sandpit, tunnels, interactive panels and music pieces, tactile play corner, shadesails and nature play. The existing fire engine play piece is being refurbished and will be put back into the playground. The basketball court will remain where it is and the swings will be moved.

Thanks to Paula Gillon for her advocacy on this project!
Funded by the Kaipatiki Local Board.

Auckland mayor Phil Goff says an announcement could be made soon on Auckland's light rail.

The $6 billion project to revive a tram network in Auckland was one of Labour's initial election promises in 2017.

After Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's big victory on October 17, the light rail system connecting the airport to Auckland's central city may finally get off the ground.

But Transport Minister Phil Twyford alluded key decisions are still to be made.

Twyford said in June the governing parties could not agree on a preferred proposal and the future of the project would be decided by the new Government following the election.
