Capture your family history
As part of our 2020 Community Education Courses we have a great course to help you record your family story:
STORY TO BOOK
Tutor: Fiona Brooker
Have you been researching your family history and have lots of material but the resulting family history book just hasn’t happened? What about your stories? If we don’t write them down then they could disappear within three generations.
Over this course you’ll plan your book, write your story and organise your photos, finishing with an illustrated book ready to print and share with your family.
Tuesdays 7.00pm – 9.00pm
11 February – 17 March (6 weeks)

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
