Hi!
Would you like an easy way to buy amazing NZ made food for yourself, as presents, & support Ellerslie School?

Our delicious food fundraiser has three types of food that we think you are going to love to eat from early Dec or save for the holidays.

We have:
* Jones Family Cheese selection packs
* Surti samosa packs
* Rotary Charity Christmas puddings

You can buy now until 3:00pm Friday 22nd November via our Community Kindo account: shop.tgcl.co.nz...

We can deliver to local businesses in the afternoon on Thursday Dec 5th for orders of $200 or more, or orders can be picked up directly from our school staffroom the same day from 3:00pm - 6:00pm.

All funds raised will be used to buy STEAM resources for our classrooms.

Please contact me with any questions: sarahn@ellerslie.school.nz.

Please forward to colleagues, friends and family you think will be interested as well.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
