Is it time to ban the private sale of fireworks in favour of public displays only? Or is Guy Fawkes just a bit of flammable fun?
Would you like to see tighter restrictions on fireworks or are you a sparkler fiend who sees no problem with celebrating safely at home?

Collection box: Has been set up in the foyer of the All Saints’ Community Centre, 30 Cook Street, Howick, and you can drop them off every day between 8:00am and 4:00pm until Friday, 7 December.
Then before Christmas, the Sending Love organisation will distribute the cards you've crafted, to people in our community who’re elderly and living alone, or who're confined to an age-care facility.

The ideal people will have the following attributes:
- Coaching experience at intermediate or secondary school (or equivalent club level)
- Good knowledge of their chosen sports code and a willingness to continue developing/learning
- Can support the values and policies of Sancta Maria College
Time commitment for coaching varies depending on the sports code and level, however, most of our programmes operate between 3.30 - 6.30pm during week nights and some on Saturdays. All volunteers will be required to undergo Police Vetting before commencing their duties. Volunteers will also be given the opportunity to attend coaching courses/seminars if they wish.
