Poll: Was this shirt pink enough for Pink Shirt Day?

Caroline Williams Reporter from Rodney Times

Hi neighbours. A 12-year-old boy was sent home from Helensville Primary School on Friday morning as the school claimed the shirt he was wearing was not pink enough for Pink Shirt Day, which was a symbolic stand against bullying led by the Mental Health Foundation. An email sent to the boy's mother from the school said he was sent home as students were told to wear pink if they had it, or wear uniform. No mufti was permitted.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
