Berhampore School has the Knack

Sharron Pardoe Reporter from The Wellingtonian

Kristmas Knack - beautiful, original, NZ handmade craft and design
Knack is Berhampore School's major fundraiser and is run four times a year, seasonally.
Our Christmas market this weekend runs over two dates, a mellow Friday evening for a more relaxed couple of hours offering the opportunity to meet with friends and leave the kids at home. We'll have great live music, authentic Italian pizza, delicious salads and cakes for you to enjoy while you browse the school hall full of craft and design.

 On Saturday, we'll have a separate area of kids' activities, run by the Berhampore School senior classes. Alongside the craft - babies', kids' and women's clothing, hand-carved wooden spoons, silver jewellery, felted ornaments, seedlings, original art prints, bags, wallets, lampshades, bespoke weaving, hair accessories, skincare products, hats, gloves, cushions, tea towels -  will be Iranian and Filipino food, and we'll have the wonderful Havana coffee machine in action on both dates. 

Free parking, and EFTPOS available.

Friday 24th November, 6-8pm

Saturday 25th November, 9:30am-2:30pm

Berhampore Primary School hall, Britomart Street (off Adelaide Road), Berhampore. For further information contact: knack.market@gmail.com or phone Justine on 972-4099 or 027-381-3409.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
