What does Tiaki mean to you?
9 South Auckland Secondary Schools have been innovating to local environmental issues we face every day. Simply, because they believe Tiaki is about being a guardian of the environment!
Come and watch each school present their innovations to the public at the FREE Tiaki Green Careers Expo on Friday 10 August 2018 at the Vodafone Events Centre in Manukau.
Interested in a green career? The Tiaki Expo will also host tertiary providers, presentations and environmental and STEM industry organisations, each with hands-on activities and information about green careers.
If your school or group is able to fill a bus, we will cover the costs for return transport. Email me at Nicole.stanton@mbct.org.nz
See you there!

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
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?
-
81.6% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
18.4% No. This would be impossible in practice.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
