Waitakere Kindergarten celebrates 25 years

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Waitakere Kindergarten is going back in time to mark its 25th anniversary.

Many of the preschool's founding students will return to the kindergarten on November 28 to dig up the time capsules they buried as
youngsters.

Now aged in their 30s, the former pupils will pour over the pieces of history they hid 25 years ago.

The time capsules bear letters from their parents, a ribbon from the opening ceremony, newspaper clippings, and photographs.

Families of existing students will also bury time capsules during the anniversary celebration, which starts at 3pm.

Among their treasures will be memoirs about life for preschoolers during the Covid-19 pandemic.

After the ceremony, a Pop-up Op shop will be set up to raise funds for the preschool.

Activities for the children, a sausage sizzle and a bake sale are also planned.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
