School holiday puppetry workshops for kids!
Come join Ifat Vayner and EarthDiverse for our two half-day School Holiday workshops, the first for kids ages 10-15 (Monday 11 July 2022, 10am-1pm), and the second of kids ages 8-11 (Tuesday 12 July 2022, 10am-1pm).
Chef Jacques and Loco the Taco are both coming to explore the kitchen with all the creative tools they've got! In each workshop we'll create a muppet (mouth puppet) and learn how to move the puppets in short scenes. No previous art experience necessary. All materials included. This course is offered as an in-person workshop only.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

What do you think about this car park's condition?
A Tokoroa local says the car park at Tokoroa Hospital is a “third world” shambles and is not a good look for the town’s public medical centre.
Olaf Langhenkel said the state of the car park, which is riddled with potholes and past attempts at repair, had been deteriorating for around five years and nothing had been done about it.
