Great mahi from our friends at Life Education Counties Manukau
Our friends over at Life Education Counties Manukau parked up their mobile classroom and set up shop at Sutton Park School from March 18 to April 10. For these four weeks they worked with more than 500 Year 1 to 8 students, taking them through various health education lessons with specialist teacher, Carleen. With the school holidays underway it's a perfect opportunity for them to display their new knowledge at home.
We are proud to support Life Education, to help ensure these important health lessons are available to as many students as possible.
Ka Pai Life Education and Sutton Park School!
Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

Hey Rhys!
We gotta say, that’s a nice nice nice looking Hilux.

Trucks Parking in Residential Streets
How do people feel about truck and trailer units parking in our residential streets? Manuroa and Airfield Roads in Takanini are truck parks every night. This is a safety issue as trucks and buses cross onto the wrong side of the road to pass them. They also block sight lines for people leaving their properties and turning out of side streets. Parking beside reserves and playgrounds means children are stepping out from behind these vehicles to cross our busy streets. The empty flatbed trailer units are hard to see at night, especially in wet weather. There have been at least two accidents in Takanini, one fatal, involving cars hitting these trailers. The Takanini Residents Group have raised this with the Papakura Local Board and Auckland Council, but as these vehicles are legally parked, we are told there is nothing that can be done. I know this is a problem in other areas in South Auckland, so I would like to hear what people think about this issue.
