Vision Kāpiti - Have your say on education
With kids heading back to school this week we thought it's a good time to ask your thoughts on education in Kāpiti – what could be improved? Share your vision for Kāpiti and have your say online now 👉🏼haveyoursay.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
We want to make sure everyone in Kāpiti can access a range of education services to help them to pursue fulfilling careers. We also need to make sure they’re the right type of education services so we can encourage rangatahi (young people) to study here and then stay on to work locally. ✏️🎓📚
We’re already exploring options for an education hub to help students find pathways to employment right here in Kāpiti – and we’d like to hear what you think Kāpiti needs now and for the future.
Visit haveyoursay.kapiticoast.govt.nz... to share your ideas and aspirations! Your feedback will help to inform a districtwide vision to enable a sustainable future and guide Council planning now, and over the next couple of decades.

Yet another scam
Just got an email from strange looking email address asking I update information re parcel being delivered by NZ Post.
Not NZ Post address so I’ve deleted it.
But bit anxious as I am expecting a parcel that’s been delayed so will check the tracking number.
No wonder people fall for the scams as they seem so genuine.
Take care out there people
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
