Tahunanui School Gala - World Famous in Tahunanui!
Hi Neighbours, we hope you have had a great holiday!
The children of Tahunanui School have begun organising their annual School Gala, to be held Sunday 19th March 2017 11am - 2.30pm. Pop it in your diary; it is a great fun family day out!
We have many families and businesses from all over Nelson that donate to our great Gala each year and make it the huge success that it is.
If you would like to be a part of this great event and have any white elephant items, donations of services or goods, artworks for our amazing Silent Auction, vouchers, goodies for gift baskets or prizes, garden seedlings, prezzies needing re-gifting, good quality toys and clothing, crafts and books you are happy to part with - we are happy to take it all! Please feel free to email us, we are happy to pick up, or alternatively you can drop items off to the school during school hours.

The 2017 Gala proceeds will go towards upgrading the Rawhiti Street entrance. It will be the first stage from the School Grounds Concept Plan and will include swings, sandpit, shade, seating, welcoming signage and artwork. How exciting! Thank you in advance for your wonderful support, what great neighbours!
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?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Earth Emotions Silent Auction
Monday 16th February - Monday 2nd March
Bid on a special collection of 20 unframed prints by local photographers from an exhibition called Earth Emotions.
Glenn Allbrecht's book, Earth Emotions, inspired Ann Wheatley, Emma Jane Hughes and Peter Kemp to create a local exhibition exploring the health of our soils, waters, forests, and people, with support from the Nelson Tasman Climate Forum and the Nelson City Council.
Forty-seven photographers responded to an open call, contributing over 100 images. A selection of these was exhibited at the Refinery Art Space.
The photographers have donated 20 exhibition prints to raise funds for the hospice.
