Our agency is looking for committed and compassionate foster parents who might care for a young adolescent in their own home full time, or on regular weekends to provide respite for full time foster parents.
This is a salaried role and well supported with social work and after hours back up. At times it is not an easy vocation and you will need to know yourself and your triggers very well.
Our young people have had traumatic histories and this means they bring behaviours that reflect that trauma. They also show themselves to be resilient, strong, capable, funny, engaging and deserving of quality care. A full police and Oranga Tamariki clearance will be required for any foster parent.
If you are curious to know more, please contact Adam Bain, abain@wesleyca.org.nz 021734960.

The Discover Porirua app is available to download via the Google Play and App Store for your mobile phone. In it, there are more than 30 places to walk or places of interest in the city, including Battle Hill Farm, Te Aro Piko, Gear Homestead, Whitireia Park and Pātaka.
Porirua Mayor Anita Baker says downloading the app is an excellent way to learn more about the city, and you’ll be surprised what you didn’t know.
“Porirua has a rich history and there’s many places to find information – but this app is a great way to start.
“Walk the heritage trails of Pāuatahanui, Pukerua Bay or Plimmerton. There’s so much rich heritage to our city, so get out there and explore it.”
The app will be officially launched at Pātaka, at 5pm on Tuesday 26 October.
On Saturday 30 October there are two free community tours by local experts in Pukerua Bay (10.30am) and Plimmerton (10.30am and 2pm). Each takes about an hour, involves walking, and you can learn about the history of each village, including rail, and check out key heritage sites.
Both have limited places – email plimmertonra@gmail.com for the Plimmerton tour, and pukeruaheritage@gmail.com for the Pukerua Bay tour, where you will receive information on where to meet and Covid-19 protocol for attending.
There is also a talk at Pātaka from Te Rauparaha Horomona on the Whiti Te Rā exhibition, the story of Ngāti Toa Rangatira, on Sunday 31 October at 11am.
Next week, guided walks will take place around the St Alban’s Church grave site in Pāuatahanui as part of Cemeteries Week and there will be a celebration in Pukerua Bay on 6 November to commemorate the 82nd anniversary of the opening of Centennial Highway.

A new bill supported by both major parties strips red tape from the building process in an effort to accelerate medium-density housing.
The rule change will allow people to build up to three homes of three storeys on most sites in Wellington without any need for resource consent from August 2022.

Life Ed’s educators visit schools and lead children to a better understanding of health and wellbeing issues, so they can make healthy choices as they progress.
Two ebullient educators spoke to the club last evening: Marsha Chiet, who looks after schools in our area, and Rachel McKinnon, who covers Wellington. Rachel was inducted into our club last week. And Harold came too.
Both are experienced primary teachers and relish their work with Life Ed.
Life Ed covers a range of topics outside the scope of primary school teachers because they are too specialised, are constantly changing, or perhaps, are better delivered by visiting rather than classroom staff.
Examples are water safety, nutrition, pubertal change, and ‘substances’.
Increasingly, new issues are arising, mostly driven by technology and the internet. Peer pressure and low self-esteem can lead to mental health problems. Children can access dubious sources of information as well as gaming platforms and violent content. Life Ed helps to guide them through these modern minefields.
Life Ed is clearly doing a good job: they are fully booked and welcomed into schools by staff and children alike.
It was good to be updated on the work of the Trust, and to see that in the classroom things are in good hands.

We thought we would kick things off now by encouraging people to share a favourite recipe.
This could be a whānau favourite, your aunty’s special chutney, a secret (or potentially not!) curry dish, or your most-loved cake.
We’ll then share your recipe throughout the land for people to try, share, and enjoy within their communities.
Either email your recipe to kiaora@neighboursday.org.nz or submit it here - www.neighboursday.org.nz...
