Raumati South School Gala

Jule from Raumati South

Our Spring Carnival will offer loads of fun activities for the kids including face painting, big bouncy castles, nerf wars, plate smash and the famous Raumati South School dunny throw!

We’ve got all your favourite stalls such as cakes, sweets, toys, books, clothing and plants. The food court is also shaping up well with barista coffee, candy floss, ice cream, hot chips, burgers, nachos and more to come!

You’ll be well entertained through the day with the RSS Kapa Haka opening the festivities and plenty of local talent on stage. And if you’re feeling lucky, there are great prizes up for grabs on spin-the-wheel and a number of silent auctions including the fiercely competitive class auctions!

If it all gets a bit much you can put your feet up at the on-site cafe and have a cuppa and cake.

We can't wait to see you all at Raumati South School!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
