School holiday programme in Karori

Angela Gordon from St Ninian's Uniting Parish

Kia Ora neighbours,

We have a fun school holiday programme over 22-24 April, with a theme of Peacekeepers. Along with our usual schedule of games, arts and crafts, songs and more, we are also taking a look at ANZAC Day and going to along to the RSA to talk with veterans about their experiences. We know they will have a lot of wisdom to share with us.

Times are tough, so we only charge a koha for the programme, as we love to support the community. We provide a delicious and nutritious morning tea and lunch for the tamariki.

Spots get snapped up, so get in quickly by calling our lovely admin Rachel on 476 7137 or by emailing stnup@xtra.co.nz

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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 ⚖️

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?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
