Two Wgtn students in national piano competition
Two Wellington residents have been selected to participate in a nationwide classical piano
competition.
The NZ Junior Piano Competition (NZJPC) is a biennial national competition for pre-tertiary pianists in New Zealand, competing for a total prize pool of over $4,000. NZJPC received over 40 entries this year from across New Zealand. Only 16 pianists aged between 10 to 18 were selected as semi-finalists, including Wellington College student, Zhe Ning Chin and St Patrick's College student, Otis Prescott-Mason.
The NZ Junior Piano Competition is presented by the Lewis Eady Charitable Trust and will take place on 1-5 October at Lewis Eady in Auckland, the home of Steinway pianos in New Zealand.
🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

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?

35.8% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)

64.2% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
