Interested In GirlGuiding?
GirlGuiding NZ aspires to take young girls on an empowering journey toward self- discovery. We cater our programmes to suit the various stages of a girl’s development, offering them to girls in the following age groups: Pippins (5-6 years old), Brownies (7-9 ½ years old), Guides (9 ½ - 12 ½ years old) and Rangers (12 ½ - 17 years old). Becoming a part of Guiding offers girls the opportunity to build friendships, develop important skills, knowledge, values, experience new things and develop a sense of adventure.
We also run various specialist educational programmes such as ‘Free Being Me’ which explore ideas around body confidence and building self-esteem. All our specialist programmes are designed to encourage girls to realise their true worth.
Our programmes are run by adult volunteers within the community. They take on leadership roles and work collaboratively as a team to put together and deliver the many exciting programmes that we offer girls. We provide a range of exciting leadership development opportunities to all our wonderful volunteers to support them in their various roles as leaders of girls and young women.
We would love to be able to bring Girl Guiding to the Te Kowhai area and give local girls the opportunity to get involved and experience what Guiding has to offer. To get started, we would need to know how many girls would be interested in joining each of the age groups (Pippins, Brownies etc.) and how many adults would be willing to take on leadership roles to enable girls to take part - we welcome both male and female leaders to run programmes, so, anyone that is interested is welcome!! This would give us an idea about interest in Guiding within the local area and the steps we need to take to get things going in Te Kowhai

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

82.7% Yes

Wild weather in the Waikato
The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.
While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.
We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
