Donations for Fundraising for local roopu Te Huatai Katorika
Kia ora neighbours.
My daughter is part of a local roopu Te Huatai Katorika which is made up of three kapahaka groups from Sacred Heart College, St Bernards College and St Patrick's College.
They are in serious need of new piupiu and also need money for covering weekend stays at local Marae for the roopu to practice for kapahaka regionals and hopefully nationals next year. If any local businesses would be willing to donate items or services, it would be truly appreciated and we would display your businesses name as one of our supporters. This is also quite time sensitive as the raffle is going to be sold at our po whakanui on Thursday 17th October. Please message me if you are willing to donate towards our cause. Thanking you all so much for your consideration and helping our children realize their goals for 2024/2025 Kapahaka Regionals Journey. Letter from the school is attached for your consideration.

We're taking the bus!
The number of Wellingtonians taking the bus and train rose by 3% last week compared to the same time last year, according to Metlink.
Not surprising given petrol prices at the moment. But if you're considering giving up your car commute for a leisurely bus ride in the mornings, it would be worth it.
It's about to get even easier: In April, e-pay will be launched, meaning you can tap on with your credit cards as well as smart devices.
It's better on the environment too: With most Metlink trains running on electricity, 25% of the bus fleet being EV’s and the Ika Rere electric ferry, Metlink is able to move more people using less fuel than any other transport option.
With fuel costs so high, it's a good idea to jump on board if you can. If you've become a public transport convert recently, how have you found it?
Poll: Tightening the belt at the pump ... How are you pivoting? 🚌🚲🏠
Between the headlines about the Strait of Hormuz and the creeping costs at our local stations, the "fuel crisis" has moved from the news to our wallets.
A recent opinion piece in The Post suggested that Wellington Councils should be shifting our public facilities to renewable energy ASAP to keep our rates from being vulnerable to these global fuel hikes. It’s a big conversation for the city, but what about your daily commute?
We want to know: With fuel prices staying high for the foreseeable future, are you changing how you get around the capital?
