Enrolling for Term 1 - Art Development courses for tweens, teens and adults
Happy New Year everyone,
Back into again for 2024. This year is going to be a good one, I can feel it.
MEGANZ School of Visual Arts is now in the process of enrolling new students for Term 1.
We accept tweens, teens, and adults in our mixed-aged classes.
My daughter Greta Umbers and I are planning some cool art
projects we can start the year with. Then we will open it up and follow each student's unique path and ideas, helping them to create what is in their mind's eye.
We have various class times/days available to choose from, so
come along and book a 20-minute meet-and-greet appointment before the courses begin and we will explain how we work and what you will need.
We are based in Cockle Bay, (opposite Howick College).
Classes begin from the 30th of January for 8 weeks, however, you can enroll any time throughout the terms.
Check out our website for details - www.vizart.co.nz...
Look forward to meeting and working with you.
Cheers
Megan Murphy

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
