What do you pay to send your child to preschool? And is it worth it for you?
Hi neighbours, With the cost of living rising, The Post/Stuff is collecting data on the cost of early childhood education (ECE) in New Zealand for a story we're working on. If you're a parent or caregiver, we'd like to hear from you about your experience of this, through filing in the below survey, or in the comments below.
Te Huia Sunday services are ready to launch---Now operating seven days!
After four years of operating New Zealand's newest interregional public transport rail service - originally running only two trips during weekdays - Te Huia will now be travelling seven days per week between Frankton in Hamilton and the Strand in central Auckland!
From Sunday 27 July, new trip times include a 2:45pm Northbound service to Auckland, and a 6:15pm Southbound service to Hamilton on Sundays.
These exciting service improvements bring Te Huia up to a massive 30 trips per week - that's a total weekly travel distance of over 4,020km! 🤯
With massive thanks to our friends at Kiwirail and Auckland Transport, Te Huia can now access the Auckland Rail Network on Sundays, which we hope will continue to increase travel opportunities and connectivity between the Waikato region and Auckland City.
