The aim of Project 180 is much more than just feeding and entertaining our youths.
ITS ABOUT CHALLENGING THEM, EMPOWERING THEM AND INSPIRING THEM.
Haha, there you go I've just stumbled into the core values of Project 180. CHALLENGE, EMPOWER, INSPIRE.

A black and white ute was parked on the Otorohanga-bound side of Rangitoto Road from around 1pm until 5:30pm on Friday 31 August. The Nissan ute has a home-built raised cab on the back, with a canvas cover, and a black snorkel exhaust at the front passenger side.
Police are appealing particularly to truck drivers and trucking firms which use Rangitoto Road as a short cut between Te Kuiti and Otorohanga, and if these drivers have dash cam footage that may help Police.
If anyone has dash-cam footage of Rangitoto Road on Friday afternoon, particularly of this distinctive ute, Police are keen to hear from you.
Please get in touch with your local Police if you can help.

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.
Torrential rain … View moreWhat do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.
Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.
Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.
Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.

One of the main memorials, the atomic blast shaped fountain, is due for demolition. But it's one of the intrinsic memorials, specifically mentioned in Sir Sidney Holland (Prime Minister of New Zealand)'s speech when he dedicated the park on the 4th December 1955.
It's not just the sunken cross, or the semi-circular fresco, the park itself is the memorial, as are ALL the memorials in it.
"Te Awamutu and District War Memorial Park, built in proud and grateful memory of those men who served this country in the 1939-1945 war."
- Inscribed on a plaque at the entrance to the park.
This is a memorial for our children and grandchildren, as much as for us and those who went before. We should tell them the true story, which includes horrible things like atomic and nuclear being used as deterrents. With a sound education and a lot of hope, they should learn from the past. Do we have the right to remove a memorial that could open these conversations?
