Xmas Presents ...Umm! How about an art course gift card?

Megan from MEGANZ School of Visual Arts

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.

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
