St Columba Playgroup

St Columba Presbyterian Church

We offer two groups (during term time):
PLAYGROUP - 9:30am to 11:30am Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
MUSIC & PLAYGROUP - 9:30am to 11:30am on Wednesdays
Sessions are held at 480 Ti Rakau Drive, Botany
We provide a modern facility offering a great range of educational equipment (indoor and outdoor), catering to children who are 0-5 years of age. Playgroup is not just for the children - our aim is to encourage and equip parents to learn new skills and make new friends.
A different theme is covered each term to educate and stimulate your children. Sessions include free play, lesson time, music, craft and morning tea (please bring food and water for your child). Cost of each session is $5.00 per family and includes morning tea for the parents/care givers. Our Playgroup and Music & Playgroup have been set up in conjunction with the Ministry of Education Early Childhood Development Unit, aimed to provide social interaction for preschoolers, fun and safe activities that cover all recommended preschool learning areas, in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
Please check out the St Columba Playgroup Facebook page for upcoming activities, Tool Box Parenting Courses and School Holiday Sessions, or phone 274-4864 for more info.
We hope you join us soon!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β€” and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
