Juggling classes keep west Auckland primary students active in lockdown

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Western Leader

Students at a west Auckland school are clowning around to remain active during lockdown.

New Lynn Primary has been offering online juggling classes to bring together students, families and teachers.

Principal Greg Roebuck said it has been a great way to keep everyone connected.

“We have been looking at ways to support our students and whānau,” he said.

“The focus for us is on connecting wellbeing and physical movement as a way that can positively impact during this stressful time.”

Teacher Neelesh Desai said it is a welcome change to regular lockdown zoom time.
 
“It was great to see so many of our students getting involved with their whānau and having the opportunity for teachers to take a break,” he said.

“This gave us an opportunity as teachers to have fun with our students, focusing not only on their wellbeing but also ours.” 
 
The workshop was created with Circability, a community-focused circus programme, in collaboration with Sport Waitākere.

Outdated 'Recent Notices in New Zealand'

Fiona from Henderson

Can anyone here or from Neighbourly.co.nz please explain to me why we have the so called ''Recent Notices in New Zealand' a.k.a. death notices tab here on Neighbourly when if fact, the most recent death notice is from 2023?
I don't know if anyone has used this tab recently, if ever, I only used when looking for a friend's recent death notice.
If this isn't going to be updated or in fact be what they say it is, 'Recent Notices in New Zealand', then please replace it with something we can all access with up to date information, maybe bring back the groups option - just a thought.
Any ideas people?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
