Term 1 Classes + Activities at Parnell Community Centre
Term 1 classes will go ahead under 🚨 Red Light 🚨 restrictions so sign up today at villagesquare.org.nz/enrol to secure your place!
Under the guidance set out by the government, we're excited that we can proceed with Term 1 classes as planned under the Red Light alert level. We will have the following precautions in place to ensure the safety of our students and staff:
➡️ Class numbers will be limited based on social distancing measures.
➡️ Vaccine passes will be required. Present this to your tutor at the first class of term.
➡️ Face masks must be worn inside the Jubilee Building at all times. If you’re doing an exercise class masks can be removed once you’re inside the room.
If for some reason your class is unable to go ahead (eg. Lockdown, further restrictions etc.) you will be refunded for all remaining classes or you can receive a credit note to use for future terms. We will also offer a virtual option so some classes can continue if possible.
If you have any further questions about how Covid-19 restrictions may affect classes, please do not hesitate to contact us at community@villagesquare.org.nz

Mana (Authority, Power, and Prestige) - Day 15
Māui and the Sacred Fire
Māui, a legendary hero, sought to bring fire to the people from Mahuika, the Atua of fire. Māui approached Mahuika with respect for her mana, acknowledging her as the keeper of sacred power. Through wit and humility, he earned her trust, receiving the secret of fire to share with humankind. This act elevated Māui's mana and showed the importance of respecting authority while using power for the greater good.
Moral: Recognise and honour the mana of others while wielding authority with responsibility and integrity.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
