Enrolling for Term 1 - Art Development courses for tweens, teens and adults
Happy New Year everyone,
Back into again for 2024. This year is going to be a good one, I can feel it.
MEGANZ School of Visual Arts is now in the process of enrolling new students for Term 1.
We accept tweens, teens, and adults in our mixed-aged classes.
My daughter Greta Umbers and I are planning some cool art
projects we can start the year with. Then we will open it up and follow each student's unique path and ideas, helping them to create what is in their mind's eye.
We have various class times/days available to choose from, so
come along and book a 20-minute meet-and-greet appointment before the courses begin and we will explain how we work and what you will need.
We are based in Cockle Bay, (opposite Howick College).
Classes begin from the 30th of January for 8 weeks, however, you can enroll any time throughout the terms.
Check out our website for details - www.vizart.co.nz...
Look forward to meeting and working with you.
Cheers
Megan Murphy

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 — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Denim, but make it one-of-a-kind 💙
Not every pair of jeans makes it to the rack... but that doesn’t mean their story ends there. Our talented volunteer Annie has been transforming damaged denim into handcrafted bags, hats and aprons in our Onehunga SPCA Op Shop ✂️🧵
This latest batch even features her own hand-sewn designs, and customers have been loving them, they sell almost as soon as they hit the shelf!
It’s creativity, sustainability and community all stitched together, helping animals in need 🐾
