The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The leader of the National Party has announced a plan to ban cellphones from all classrooms to minimize distractions for students. The Labour party has commented that this is commonplace already and is a decision best left for individual schools. Do you think a ban should be enforced?

Arena Aquatics is back in action following important maintenance work to ensure this popular facility can continue to be enjoyed by all.

Staff were excited to open the doors to the public again last week after three weeks which had the building full of contractors rather than swimmers.

Much of the maintenance work focused behind the scenes, in the pool plant and filtration areas. The public areas also received a refresh.

To celebrate Arena Aquatics’ reopening, we are inviting tamariki to enter a drawing competition, where they can draw themselves and their whānau enjoying a dip in the toddlers’ pool. There will be swim passes and other goodies up for grabs – keep an eye on the Council Facebook page for more details.

To find out more about what Arena Aquatics has to offer, entry fees and opening hours, visit us.
