Neighbours Aotearoa
Celebrate Neighbours Aotearoa with a special "Potluck of Everything".
'Neighbours Aotearoa' takes place 1-31 March and the theme this year is "Let's Share", so at the Miramar & Maupuia Community Centre we are holding a unique potluck style event. Free for all!
This potluck is special because it's not just bring a plate of kai but also bring a "plate" of music, of art, of garden seedlings etc. In other words, bring food plus something to share e.g. your guitar, your singing voice, some poetry you might want to read, artwork that you want to show off, your coolest dance moves, or teach a game and we can all play!
If you want to attend but also help out, let us know, we will give you something to do!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
