Putting the Fun in Fundraising
Hi neighbours (near and far). This is an opportunity to have a great night out with the family, and all for a good cause.
In 2012, I was lucky enough to travel to Antarctica with 50-odd others. I had the pleasure of the company of award-winning comedian Te Radar on that trip, and saw his fascination and engagement with the place grow along the way. After we had returned, I was delighted to learn he had put together a show about the unique and downright odd history of Antartica. He performed this in Christchurch at the IceFest (where it was very well received), and subsequently in Auckland (ditto). Given he had not previously performed it in Wellington, Cardinal McKeefry School (which my children attend) thought it would a magnificent opportunity to get him to put it on as a joint venture with the school. Finally, it's about to happen... Te Radar is a supreme performer, and family friendly (although he notes that references to self-surgery may be a little strong for very young stomachs). This a great opportunity to have a fun, educational night out with the family.

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
