Draw, Paint, Sculpt

Megan from Cockle Bay

At MEGANZ School of Visual Arts
Our term 4, after-school, evening, and Saturday Art-Development courses are beginning from 14th of October. They are based in Cockle Bay, Auckland. For ages 10 through to adults.

Our focus is on drawing, painting, and sculpture. Our course structure is based on a combination of tutor and student-initiated projects.
Students can work at their own pace, and from their own chosen themes and ideas. We help them achieve their aims.
(As it is Xmas coming up at the end of this term, you or your child may want to create that special present for someone they love.)

The school is run by Megan Murphy and is based in a home studio. It has been operating since 2007.
Please contact Megan to make a 20-minute appointment time to meet, before you would like to join the course. We will discuss your or your child's initial aims and see what art materials you will need and which time slot suits you.
Check out our website for details - www.vizart.co.nz...
Take a look at our student's work on Instagram - @meganzsva

Look forward to meeting you

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!
