Community Choir
Do you like singing with others?
If you are 8 - 18 years you could join JVOV (a Christian choir) for a small fee each term. If you are under 8 you could participate free when supervised by your caregiver. If you are over 18 you could participate as a volunteer. We have one adult volunteer per ten children as JVOV members also enjoy a variety of wholesome activities within the community. Practises are on Tuesdays 4 pm at WEA 100 Esk Street.
JVOV's Christmas pageant 2017 was sweet. Perhaps you might like to try JVOV this term as we prepare for Easter pageant.

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)
