SOLOMON GROUP/MANUREWA

Marama from Manukau - Wiri

At Solomon Group. I arrived here with my heart in my hands and my head in the clouds or who knows where.

But, you know what, I don't regret a moment of it. The support received by the students and tutors, one in particular - Natasha Leupepe.

Wow, what a tutor she is. We are finishing up our Job Expo. And I totally believe that I have changed in more ways than I could imagine. My time at Solomon Group has changed me. And I know I have had a positive impact on the others that came into my life.

We boost each up. We've learnt comradery, taught how to share and solidly respect each other's opinions. And it turns out that our cohort is the best Natasha has had in so many ways. But when we finish up, she will be heading on out too. She's taking on another role. All the best to her. And I praise her to the moon and back.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
