School holiday programme in Karori
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
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
