An amazing student job opportunity

Ainsley Darvell from Flying Kites - Glen Innes

Do you love playing sport, Call of Duty, cooking or afternoons in the sunshine?

If so, then we have the job you have been looking for. A 17 year old with an intellectual disability is looking for a peer mentor/buddy to fill his afternoons. You will chat, kick a ball around, head to walk on the beach or explore the museum. He is a friendly chatty guy who loves most things online, a good laugh and having decent people to talk to. He is looking for someone who can be good company, help him fill his afternoons and be a bit of a role model. He would love a gym buddy, to work out alongside and keep him motivated.

If you had a full licence there would be more fun ways to fill your afternoons, but we are open to anyone applying who can bring some energy and enthusiasm to the role.

We are looking for someone about 8-10 hours per week: 3 hours on a Saturday, plus 2 or 3 afternoons after school. If you wanted to do some extra school holiday hours that would be amazing, but not essential.

If you are interested, please email jobs@flyingkites.org.nz or send me a message.

Flying Kites helps people with disabilities find amazing people to support them to live their lives and achieve their dreams. #FlyingkitesNZ

'OUT OF JUNK' Exhibition closing

Alan from Panmure

After a very successful season our ‘OUT OF JUNK’ Exhibition closes this Saturday, 29th June, at 4pm. The exhibition of created works made from discarded items by our local artist, Sean Boyd, has been enjoyed by adults and children alike. These captivating artifacts have stimulated imagination and conversations about recycling/upcycling. This is the value of art in widest sense, sometimes provocative, sometimes off the wall, but always an opportunity to think about our world and the artist's view of it.

Final days at STUDIOGALLERY, 8 Clifton Court, Panmure. Get to it - you have nearly missed it!
