With alcohol, drug use and child abuse through many low socio-economic communities, "teaching primary school children resilience is key to rising above statistics and preparing them to handle what's coming", says Hora Hora Primary School principal Pat Newman.
What do our children need? Is your child's school in "screaming need" of support?

KiwiRail Group Chief Executive Greg Miller says line improvements "would give more certainty for our customers and will make rail an option for Northland businesses and exporters to get their goods to market".
Is this a worthwhile investment? Do you think Northland businesses will benefit from this?

He said "he got such a fright that he scanned the barcode another few times to make sure he wasn't seeing anything". He got back in the car, found a quiet place to pull over and had a cup of tea from his flask before carrying on with work.
Have you ever been lucky with the lotto? What would you do if you won?

The Maunu Garden Project is a not for profit organisation who grows and donates fresh spray-free produce to our local community and community foodbanks in Whangarei.
We are a small group of volunteers, passionate about getting healthy produce out into our community to those who need it the most. Through local foodbanks and other organisations we are able to deliver seasonable produce most weeks of the year, which is incredible!
We need your help! Awapuni Nurseries have kindly offered to do a 2 week promotion, giving us a special code to pass on to you, so when you put through those spring planting orders we will get 20% of the proceeds (less postage). This starts on Monday 9th September and you MUST use the code which we will post on FB Mon morn. Please go along to our Facebook page for more info, or if you would like to read a bit more about what we do or maybe apply to volunteer that would be awesome! We also have a special giveaway going at the moment so please make sure to enter :-)

This comes after the acknowledgement that for kids, enjoyment is closely tied to how well they perform, something heavily influenced by parents and coaches.
What are your thoughts? Do you think this new approach will benefit our youngsters?

CHESTER is a fit and healthy, 9 year old Wheaten Terrier/Labradoodle X Boy. Chester has a lovely temperament, is gentle and loves people. He just wants to please and be with you, lean against you, sit on you and just be cuddled. He is a perfect companion for you or a family.
Unfortunately his current family is moving and are unable take him with them. We’re heartbroken about leaving him and desperately want to find a loving parent or family to adopt him.
Chester will form a very close bond with his new owner or family. Chester is very obedient and follows all basic commands and is easy to teach. He spends his days in our garden when not out for walks. He enjoys regular walks and behaves well on the lead, stopping at a café for coffee and travelling in the car are all activities he enjoys.
Chester spends his evenings inside with the family and sleeps in his own bed in the house.He is great with other dogs of all sizes and loves to play. He is not good with cats.
Chester is de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped and registered and is up to date with flea/worm treatments.
