This Year - "Learn to Code" ! 💻

Make a start by registering for our Free Open Day and get exposed to the fascinating world of Coding and Robotics. Anyone from the age of 5-18 can attend.

Every Sunday at 2:00 pm, SCRATCHPAD invites you to attend a free Open Day where you get to write your first program or if you have some experience then try that next level of coding. The event begins at 2:00pm and we encourage parents to also try their hands at coding, if the event is not full (which rarely happens).

Registration is essential to secure a spot. You can do this by calling our Northcote Centre on (09) 815 0825 or following our website.

We hope to see all of you there!

Do you work from a cafe or co-working space?

Kendall Hutt Reporter from North Shore Times

Do you work remotely? If you do, why do you do it and where are your favourite places to work? Share your experiences … View moreHi neighbours, recent research has found workers want flexibility but also human interaction.

Last year alone, 427 serious injuries claims were made to ACC because of crashes and driving incidents over this long weekend.

Let's make sure we all arrive alive to where we need to go by following these four simple and proven road safety actions:

- Make sure everyone has their seatbelts on
- Remove distractions and stay focused on driving
- Don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking or are tired
- Drive at a safe speed for the conditions

With severe and changeable weather forecast for across the country the following winter driving tips are equally important as well.

The only way we can reduce unnecessary road deaths and injuries is by working together to be safe, considerate and alert on the roads. If you spot dangerous driving behaviour or urgent but not life threatening driving incidents you can report it to the New Zealand Police by calling *555 for free from any mobile device.

Have a great long weekend!
