New Space groups starting in Pukekohe in June and July

Lorna Thompson from Pukekohe Community Action

Are you pregnant or recently had a baby? Our upcoming Space groups held in Pukekohe maybe just what you're looking for!

Learn, play and grow with your baby. Make connections with other mums and babies.

We have two new new Space groups starting soon for babies born March - June 2024. (If you have an older baby aged between 4 - 10 months, please message as we also have some availability in our existing groups on different days and times).

The groups meet in the hall at Pukekohe Anglican Church, 43 Queen Street, Pukekohe.

Please follow the online booking links below to sign up.
Starting Tuesday 11 June 2024 from 10.30- 12.30

Starting Wednesday 24 July 2024 from 12-2

The Space programme is aimed at first time parents with newborn babies and has been designed to support parents through the first year of their child's developmental journey. Second or more, time parents are also welcome if you feel the group would be of benefit to you.

The programme runs weekly for 3 terms (i.e. 30-40 weeks) in a relaxed, baby friendly atmosphere. At Space, you and your baby will be able to connect with other new parents and their babies. The Space groups meet in term time for 2 hours giving you the opportunity to make real connections both within and outside of the group times.

During each session, you and your baby will explore music and movement, crafts, and books along with a weekly facilitated discussion that looks at different parenting topics such as
Becoming a parent
Brain basics
Attachment
Movement
Treasure baskets and heuristic play

There is an initial $45 enrolment fee for Parenting Place when you complete the online enrolment form and a $20 donation per term that goes to Pukekohe Community Action (PCA) who run the course (or a gold coin donation when you can). Payment options are also available for holders of a community services card.

Please email Space.pukekohe@gmail.com or Pukekohecommunityaction@xtra.co.nz if you have any queries or book directly via the online booking links above

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?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
