NIWA Auckland Science Fair is an annual science competition for Year 7 - Year 13 students. These future scientists attend intermediate and secondary schools across Auckland and have had the opportunity to investigate a scientific area of interest (to them) for the past few months. They have been selected to present their work to judges from industry and education on Friday 26th August and their work will be on display for the public to view between 6-8 pm on Friday evening and Saturday 27th August 10am - 5pm at Michael Park School, Ellerslie. Public are very welcome to view the projects.

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.
