When Paris was in high school she admits she wasn’t the best student or daughter to her teachers or family. She was selected alongside 11 other students to participate in our Project K programme.

"I got a bit nervous because this wasn’t my crowd but I ended up becoming really good friends with them and ended up becoming an unspoken leader, like a leader but without being told that I was the leader...

“I’d never been put in a leadership position before so for that to happen to me I thought it was kind of breath-taking to be honest.”

Roaming White Dog

Faye from Woolston

For about the last fortnight a large male white dog, possibly a bull mastiff (my knowledge of dog breeds isn't great) has been roaming in Smith Street, Woolston. He's been neutered and has no collar, and no road sense - he just wanders out in front of cars. He seems to be in good … View moreFor about the last fortnight a large male white dog, possibly a bull mastiff (my knowledge of dog breeds isn't great) has been roaming in Smith Street, Woolston. He's been neutered and has no collar, and no road sense - he just wanders out in front of cars. He seems to be in good condition, so possibly not a stray, but I am concerned for him going out on the road. I think he must have been the dog that left a calling card in my front garden the weekend before last, because today after work I startled him in the garden. He wasn't aggressive but didn't hang around either. Does anyone recognize this description and know where the dog belongs?
