Gone are the days of getting one qualification out of school to see you through your working life. Now, upskilling, online courses and on-the-job training are all part of making your way up the career ladder. 

We want to talk to people who have completed micro-credentials, bitesize qualifications for specific skills. 

Perhaps you've pieced together a full qualification by doing online courses, or maybe you've taken a workshop rather than investing in a six-month course. We'd love to hear from you - email josephine.franks@stuff.co.nz

Our Coordinator at Hastings District Council recently sent us this snap from a get together with residents from a new suburb who are keen to get Neighbourhood Support up and running.

To gauge interest, he hosted a free barbecue at a park with the support of their local New Zealand Police to bring neighbours together to discuss setting it up. Every group is different in how it chooses to operate. Our policy is whatever works best for your area!

Whangarei Intermediate School uniform from 2019. I have read on the school website that the school is still allowing this uniform as the new uniform will be phased in over the next couple of years.

This set would be considered a Medium-Large sized fit.
Includes:
X2 Girls Shorts, size 92
X1 Boys Shorts, size 87
X3 Uniform Shirts (uni-sex) Sizes Medium and Large
X3 PE Shirts (uni-sex) Sizes Medium and Large
X3 PE Shorts (uni-sex) Sizes Large and 2XL

The three uniform shirts have a very small mark on two and one has a very small tear/rip.
The Boys uniform shorts are a bit more worn, however are in good condition.
The 2XL pair of PE shorts are a bit more worn, however are still in good condition.

All items are in good to great condition and some will easily do the next 2yrs. Some photos aren't that good and make the clothes look faded, they are all in good colour condition.

We are also selling two winter jackets, size XS (which is a Medium to Large size). $80 for both, or $40 each.

Thanks

Price: $80

Denise Piper Reporter from Whangārei Leader

Meanwhile, Whangārei residents are now on water restrictions and bores could run dry. Do you think it is right for Central Government to step in and help? … View moreThe NZ Defence Force has moved into Northland to help with the water crisis and the Government will pay $2m to secure water in the Far North.

Or should councils, and ratepayers, be left to fend on their own?
