Everyone was included: the show started with kapa haka and finished with a sequin-bedazzled Bollywood dance performance. The paths and ramps smoothed for children's wheelchairs were walked by hundreds of neighbours and family members, making their way up to the food stalls, where Cook Island chicken and chop suey vied for our money with Spanish paella.
It was disappointing, then, to come into work to tell the story of Christian Cosgrove, a high -functioning autistic 9-year-old who was this week expelled by his Christchurch school after a string of incidents culminated in him lashing out.
We expect our state schools to provide an education for all - and that especially includes those like Christian with special needs. New education minister Chris Hipkins admits we need to do better.
But, as I write in my Sunday Star-Times editorial today, the new government and Ministry of Education need to put their money where their mouth is to include both children like Christian and the other kids around them who are trying to learn. - Jonathan Milne, editor

A house is more than bricks and mortar and a community is more than a boundary on a map; both are full of memories and comfortable connectedness. If your parent is having a tough time making ends meet, but don’t want to sell their home to fund the things they need or want, consider talking to them about releasing some equity in their home with a Heartland Reverse Mortgage.
Have you ridden the cycleway at Rabbit Island recently. How did you find it? There's some concern that logging has left it in a dangerous state?

1. Set up a Halloween Group for your street! Plan your Halloween evening with your neighbours to see what time everyone is taking the kids out. You could even co-ordinate matching costumes!
2. Download one of our SPOOKY Neighbourly Halloween posters to stick on your house or letterbox for if:
- You welcome all trick or treaters
- You want trick or treaters to stay away
3. Stay in areas of your neighbourhood that are familiar and are well lit. And although Halloween is supposed to be spooky, be careful not to frighten your elderly neighbours by popping out of the dark!
Stay safe and have fun!
