Operation Attend: Free food hampers for families of kids missing school

Mildred Armah Reporter from Eastern Courier

Free food hampers and a sympathetic ear are on offer to East Auckland families whose kids are missing school.

It’s a joint initiative between a local charity and police, who have previously raised concerns about low attendance rates in Glenn Innes.

“Some families are struggling,” says Sergeant Rhys Smith​, who works on youth aid for the Auckland City East district.

🆘 Urgent – Missing Cat (Priestley Drive)

Judy from Bucklands Beach

Hi neighbours,

Our 5-year-old female cat has been missing for almost a full day, and we are extremely worried.

She is an indoor and backyard-only cat and has never gone beyond our garden before, so this is very unusual for her.

📍 Last seen: Priestley Drive
📞 Contact: 022 640 1997

If you have seen her, or if she may be hiding in a garage, shed, or under a house, please check and contact us immediately.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your help.

Regards
Judy

accommodation in Wellington

Stephen from Half Moon Bay

Hi everyone,
I’m moving to Wellington for work and looking for a place from 16 February 2026. I’m 22 and starting a full-time role as a young graduate professional in IT/Data Science in the CBD.
I’m tidy, respectful, quiet, non-smoker, and like keeping my space clean. Outside of work I enjoy music and photography, but I do keep things quiet at home. I don’t have a car, so good bus access or train to the CBD is important.

What I’m after:
-Prefer living alone (studio/bedsit) but open to a quiet flat with other Asians too
- Easy bus access or walking distance to the CBD
- Furnished
- Close to a supermarket
- Long-term
- Budget up to $400/week
- Move in early Jan or early Feb 2026
Just checking if you know any places
Thank you
Regards, Reuben
