The 'Financial Literacy Fund' will support students with critical financial literacy skills needed before they embark on their working careers; change their habits from 'spend, spend, spend' to one where they learn to prioritise money and save for things they need. This fund will instill our youth with hope that they can strive to achieve their goals.
Over the next year before the first round of distributions are made, we want to learn what programmes are out there that we may be able to help support and grow. Talk to us at Momentum Waikato Community Foundation.

There are three candidates for the Taupō District mayoralty this year – Christine Rankin, David Trewavas and Sean Wakelin.
There are 19 candidates standing for the seven seats in the Taupō ward, and four candidates for the single Tūrangi -Tongariro ward seat.
The new Te Papamārearea Māori ward has four candidates for voters on the Māori electoral roll to choose from, to fill two seats.
Two vacancies are to be filled automatically because the number of nominations received did not exceed the number of positions available.
These are the Mangakino-Pouakani ward vacancy where Kirsty Trueman will be elected unopposed and the Taupō East Rural ward vacancy where Kylie Leonard will also be elected unopposed.
Deputy electoral officer Shainey James says she is heartened by the number of candidates who have put their names forward this year.
“It’s encouraging to see how many people are invested in our district and want to contribute to their community by becoming a councillor.
“We are in for an exciting campaign period.”
Anyone who is currently enrolled can vote in the local government elections via postal vote. Voting papers will arrive in your mailbox between 16 to 21 September.
For those who have not yet enrolled, a special vote will need to be cast by contacting a Taupō District Council office for voting papers.
Voting papers need to be returned before voting closes at noon on 8 October.
A full list of candidates can be found at taupo.govt.nz/vote22
Key Election Dates:
- Friday 12 August - Nominations closed at 12 noon
- 16 to 21 September - Voting papers delivered
- Saturday 8 October - Election Day – voting closes 12 noon
- 13 to 19 October - Declaration of results

The Blind Woman of Taupō by legendary New Zealand artist Charles Frederick Goldie is now on display in Te Aroha o Rongoheikume, the museum’s wharenui (meeting house), thanks to a loan from an anonymous benefactor.
The incredible and absorbing painting, produced in 1934, has been loaned to the Taupō Museum for five years.
It sits next to portraits of Ngāti Tūwharetoa chiefs Te Werahiko (Haukino) and Rutene Te Uamairangi Rahui of Ōpepe, painted in 1908 by notable artist and Taupō identity Thomas Ryan, in an exhibit called Goldie and Ryan.
At the unveiling today (Thursday 11 August), the new display was blessed and officially opened to the public.

That’s why Ryman villages plan ahead by offering independent living in apartments and townhouses, assisted living in serviced apartments, resthome care and, in most villages, hospital and specialist dementia care.
We offer a higher ratio of care in our villages so that if your needs change, you have priority access to our care centres.
