Wadestown Playgroup re-opens for Term 1 on Tuesday 22 January!
New members welcome!
If you are a parent or caregiver for children under 5, Wadestown Playgroup may be for you!
Playgroup provides unstructured play in a safe, secure environment and is an excellent forum for meeting others in the community. We have a wide range of toys and equipment (both indoor and outdoor) and activities including painting, craft, playdough and sandpit. We also arrange for regular educational visits by children’s entertainers such as the travelling farm or fire engine.
We are a parent run organisation. Each child attending must have a parent or caregiver stay with them, interacting in the play activities with their child. Playgroup relies on the parents and caregivers to run smoothly and all members are asked to contribute, which makes for a great atmosphere. We operate a roster system for duties on sessions and we also have a Management Committee of volunteers.
We have places for new members available on some days, email us to confirm: wadestownplaygroup@gmail.com
Please come along to check it out, just ask for the 'key contact person' and they can show you around, give you an enrolment form (or download one from this site) etc. Feel free to try out different days of the week.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.8% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.2% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
🎉 Riddle me this, legends! 🎉
He/She who makes it, sells it.

What is it?
