FREE water safety workshop for early childhood educators

Barbara Venville-Gibbons from Drowning Prevention Auckland

How can we help keep our under-5s, the family and whanau safer around water? How could every day water activities in an early childhood setting, and the local environment, be used to develop safer practices around water? These are some of the questions we will be discussing at a water safety professional learning and development workshop we are holding for early childhood educators on 28 June, at Highland Park.

When: 6.15 - 7.45 pm, Wednesday 28 June.
Where: Highland Park Community House, Aviemore Drive.

The workshop will be delivered by Aquatic Educator Lynley Stewart, an experienced and registered teacher. All participants will receive a copy of the Stay With Me Around Water teaching kit and Fishing with Papa big book. Full details on the attached flyer, click on the link to register online now.

💡 A Little Brain Buzz for You⚡

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
