PK Kids, Powered by PechaKucha
Waipā District Libraries is hosting a PechaKucha event featuring children as the speakers.
A PechaKucha presentation is a format that uses slides or images that are displayed for usually 20 seconds each. The slides move automatically as the presenter is speaking. This format ensures that the speaker is concise, keeps the presentation moving, and gets through all of their content.
We are bringing the 10x20 format to Cambridge for our tamariki to get involved. This means that speakers will talk to 10 slides for 20 seconds each slide.
We are looking for children aged between 8 and 15 years and a minimum of 10 speakers for the event.
Children can register their interest through the library, or register online: www.waipalibraries.org.nz....

Poll: Have you ever tried learning a language?
Hannah Westbury likes to chat with customers at her checkout - so much so that she’s learning sign language for one regular.
Paeroa-based Westbury has worked in Woolworths for the past seven years and moved to checkout a year ago.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
