Hi Everyone,
If you are trying to think of different Xmas presents to give to family members and friends, then how about a gift card for an art Course for a term? The gift that could last a lifetime.

At MEGANZ School of Visual Arts, we teach drawing, painting, and sculpture to tweens, teens, and adults. Students can work on their own project ideas, at their own pace and from any level of ability.
We have afternoon, evening, and Saturday class times available.
But be quick as the classes are filling up fast.

Check out our website www.vizart.co.nz... for details on the course times and fees and text Megan to either get a gift card and/or book a course for Term 1, 2024. And take a look at our student's work on our Instagram page - @meganzsva

Hope to work with you on your creative ideas in the new year.

Police are searching hospitals and schools across the country after threats were made against a number of organisations, RNZ is reporting.

What you need to know:
- Bomb threats were made within emails received around 9am today (23 November).
- RNZ understands police have been searching the premises at Auckland City Hospital and Manukau Superclinic.

Police are working to establish the origin of the emails and have yet to establish any actual threat to any organisation.

Fionnagh Dougan, Te Whatu Ora's national director hospital and specialist services, said in a statement to Stuff:
'Members of the public with appointments at our hospitals or needing emergency treatment should be assured it is safe to attend their local hospital as usual.'
