In every neighbourhood, there’s someone who goes the extra mile, mowing lawns for the elderly, running the kids’ footy team, or simply being the first to lend a hand. These unsung heroes make our communities stronger, kinder, and more connected.

These unsung heroes make our communities stronger, kinder, and more connected.
Now’s the time to give them the recognition they deserve.
Celebrate your local hero today, whether it’s a teacher, a coach, a caregiver, or the neighbour who’s always there when it counts. We’re shining a light on the everyday legends making a difference in towns, suburbs, and rural corners across Aotearoa.
Let’s make sure even the quietest champions get the loudest applause by sharing our legends on the Neighbourly Noticeboard!

Rhian’s work as a composer is incredibly diverse, spanning film, television, video games, multimedia installations, exhibitions and multiple planetarium shows screened across the globe. From Netflix to NASA, the Natural History Museum to the UN Headquarters — Rhian’s music has an almost universal reach from his recording studio in Wellington.
With no shortage of avenues for his musical output, Rhian has consistently been involved with space-adjacent projects, including numerous sci-fi and fulldome planetarium shows. We’ll discuss how and why Rhian returns to music that evokes the atmosphere, beauty, and excitement of exploring space and the unknown.
This session will also feature the New Zealand premiere of Rhian’s latest fulldome project, One Step Beyond: A Journey to Mars from the National Space Centre in the U.K.
Friday 12 December 2025, 7pm. Tickets $25/$20 (or $12.50 for annual pass holders).
