NIWA Auckland Science Fair is an annual science competition for Year 7 - Year 13 students.

They have been selected to present their work to judges from industry and education on Friday 26th August and their work will be on display for the public to view between 6-8 pm on Friday evening and Saturday 27th August 10am - 5pm at Michael Park School, Ellerslie.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

Keen for the details? Read up about the scrapped collection trial here.
