July School Holiday Art Classes at Artspace Gallery - Thursday 11th July

Alfred Memelink Artspace Gallery

Do you have creative kids? then this art class could be one of the most rewarding and satisfying activities they could do in the July school holidays. Drop your kids off at Petone's Artspace Gallery and while you head off for a coffee morning, we'll guide them through painting their own watercolour of the Petone Foreshore that they'll be so soooo of.

There's a choice of two, 2 hour workshops on Thursday 11th July to choose from, 10am or 1pm start. Cost of $25 includes all materials. Just turn up empty handed and pick up your child again after two hours later with their completed watercolour painting to be proud of and a smile of creative satisfaction on their dial.

Suitable for ages 7 to 17. No previous art experience is required - these workshops are suitable for both beginners and more experienced watercolour artists who would like to fine tune their skills and style. Don't worry about drawing as this will already be done for you to enable us to focus on the joys of watercolour painting. .

This painting will also be the subject of the next 'Wine & Watercolour' art class in the evening for adults.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

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!
