Bring the tamariki for a family-friendly tour of the exhibition ‘He Tohu’ at 10am and learn about three documents that shaped New Zealand. All ages with supervising adult welcome. The duration of the tour is 20 minutes.
We will sketch our ideas for our artwork with pencil and clipboards ‘in situ’ looking at art in the library building and be inspired by famous New Zealanders and the documents that have shaped New Zealand (Declaration of Independence, Treaty of Waitangi, Women’s Suffrage Petition) to create a big artwork together. What is your Dream for Aotearoa? Come and find out more about your identity, culture and how to express yourself. All ages welcome. Caregivers can grab a coffee but are expected to supervise their children during the duration of the programme. Please book in to secure your spot!
Our experienced learning facilitators will make this tour fun for children and adults alike. Staff will lead the activities and help children to be creative.
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?
-
37.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
💨 Wellington: Is the real summer finally here?
It’s the talk of the town (and every coffee queue): the Wellington "summer" has felt more like a very long, very damp spring! 🌧️ We’ve definitely had our fair share of grey skies and raincoats lately.
In fact, The Post reports that our "pretty average" summer has been tough on the local venues and events that usually thrive under the sun. But don't pack away the sunscreen just yet!
The good news? The next couple of weeks are looking a bit more "settled" (the Wellington word for "not a gale-force downpour"). With autumn officially here, now is the time to squeeze every last drop out of the season! ☀️
