A POEM TO PONDER

Michael from Trentham

GRACE LANDS HERETAUNGA & TRENTHAM

Heretaunga where sports stars are renowned
World class institute where talent is found.
From rugby to cricket, the athletes train
Pushing themselves to achieve the highest gain.

Trentham, famous for its racing ground
Where horses gallop with speed unbound.
A movie production complex adds to the fame
Creating masterpieces with talent and game.
Military encampment with soldiers in line
Protecting the country with courage and shine.
Trentham Park is a great green memorial
Activities for people and dogs that is memorable.
Growing commercial importance with businesses around
Making progress with developments profound.

And when the day is done and the sun settles low
Heretaunga and Trentham are both stealing the show.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
