24-hour Hockeyathon - community event & fundraiser on Friday 28 June

Sarah from Forrest Hill

Bring your family and friends along to the 24-hour Hockeyathon at North Harbour Hockey Turf #5 in Albany from 10am on Friday 28 June (Matariki).
There are a wide range of activities planned, giving the community a chance to come along and get involved in 'all things hockey'!
Support, and join, our Westlake Boys hockey players as they dribble their way through 24-hours of hockey to fundraise for an upcoming tour.

Information and sign-ups on our Tour Website hockey-tour.mypagecloud.com...

We have some junior and former Black Sticks running coaching sessions, we’re running a Fast 5’s Hockey Tournament, Hockey Have-a-Go and Skill Development sessions for kids, a Sustainable Stick game, and even a Glow in the Dark game under the Matariki Stars.
Or come and watch as we battle it out on the turf against and with our sister school, Westlake Girls, and a WBHS Teachers / Westlakers team.

There are hockey skills challenges for those who want to test themselves. As well as a sausage sizzle, cake stall, coffees and cold drinks available for sideline supporters. There's even a colouring-in and design competition to keep the youngsters busy.

Check out the website for all the info, and the Programme attached. Sign-up by 23rd June if you're interested in specific activities. Bring your friends and family and join in the 24-hour Hockeyathon fun! Bring some gold coins (though eftpos is available).

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?
