Kia Ora neighbours,

We have a fun school holiday programme over 22-24 April, with a theme of Peacekeepers. Along with our usual schedule of games, arts and crafts, songs and more, we are also taking a look at ANZAC Day and going to along to the RSA to talk with veterans about their experiences. We know they will have a lot of wisdom to share with us.

Times are tough, so we only charge a koha for the programme, as we love to support the community. We provide a delicious and nutritious morning tea and lunch for the tamariki.

Spots get snapped up, so get in quickly by calling our lovely admin Rachel on 476 7137 or by emailing stnup@xtra.co.nz

Gas fireplace repair?

Liam from Khandallah

Hi all, so just as it’s starting to get colder our gas fireplace has decided that this is a good time to break…. It starts up okay, pilot light gets going and the whole fire goes for about 10-20 seconds then it makes a ‘click’ sort of sounds and shuts off….we think it’s some sort of … View moreHi all, so just as it’s starting to get colder our gas fireplace has decided that this is a good time to break…. It starts up okay, pilot light gets going and the whole fire goes for about 10-20 seconds then it makes a ‘click’ sort of sounds and shuts off….we think it’s some sort of emergency shut off.
So now we have to fix it and wondered if anybody knows of a certified gas repairer who could possibly do that at a reasonable price…?
Thank you for any suggestions.

Hello everyone. For a new project we have planned at the cemetery, we need Renga Renga Lily (Arthropdium) seeds. And lots of them ! Lots and lots ...

So we are asking if you would please check your gardens for this lovely native plant and cut the seed heads off for us. Now is the perfect time to collect as the seed heads are drying, and for us to put them to good use at the cemetery.

We'll be at the Shelter (in the centre of the cemetery) on Sunday 7th April, 10:00am - 12:00pm to receive the seeds. We've also left some buckets on the seats at the Shelter you can leave seed in if it's not convenient to come on Sunday morning (see photo).

We appreciate everyone's help to make the cemetery even prettier 🙂 🌿
