Inter-Me: A workshop for new year 9 students!
Hi everyone!
As some of you may be aware from previous posts, I'm a certified life coach and youth mentor, based in Howick (www.the-bigsisterproject.com) - and I have got something pretty special coming up in 2021 for our 'tweenagers'! :)
For a while now, I've been hearing more and more stories about some of the anxiety that kids are feeling around starting college, and how it's been added to with the impacts of Covid-19. Even children who feel pretty excited about college and have friends going to the same school still have that underlying nervousness about all the changes they'll face. Too many kids are also experiencing bullying, depression, anger, and fear as they try to fit in and be liked. It's tough stuff, and not something they should ever need to go through.
Are your kids in any of these boats? Do you, as a parent, feel ready to take on whatever comes home with your child as they navigate this new territory?
'Inter-me' is going to be a unique, memorable, empowering, and exciting workshop for children who are entering college in 2021. It doesn't matter if they're introverted, extroverted, full of beans, or feeling a little low - there will be something for everyone and it'll be a safe space to develop a sense of confidence and love for themselves!
I remember when I started year 9 and not knowing a single person - it was pretty scary and I would have loved someone to share some stories and give me some tips!
So if you are the parent of or know the parent of a soon-to-be-year-9, have a look and let me know if you'd like to book a space. $85 for the day, lunch, and take-home materials included!!!
*if your child is year 9 going into year 10 but still hasn't found their feet, they are also welcome to come along!
This is running in association with UXBRIDGE Arts & Culture Centre in Howick!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated
Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
