BeYOUtiful 2 Day School Holiday Program July 9 & 10th, 2018
Register today to join the 2-day school holiday tribe starting in 3 weeks time. Those who have attended the 8-week course also attend the school holiday program. Here is a testimonial from one of the mothers who daughter attended 2 eight week courses and our last school holiday program:
“My twelve-year-old daughter Sophie has been attending Jacqui and Dee’s BeYOUtiful program for the past two terms. As a mum, I often wonder if I’m doing enough to help her navigate her way through her teenage years and into adulthood in the crazy digital and online age. BeYOUtiful has given her a warm and inclusive space in which to experience positive creative ways to begin her journey. From journalling to meditation, yoga to vision boards – she has absolutely loved the program. Dee and Jacqui have created such a gentle, kind space that instills confidence in all the girls to speak openly and find their authentic voice. She’s been introduced to strong, positive female role models that have made a real impact on her. She has also bought the skill and knowledge back home and has encouraged the whole family to communicate more effectively at a weekly meeting. I know with certainty that with what Sophie has learnt from BeYOUtiful she now feels empowered and confident heading into high-school. As a parent, I’m so grateful that she’s been afforded this opportunity and I would highly recommend the program to any family with young teenagers.

Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???
“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.
On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.
[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.
Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.
Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
