Kia ora!
We're looking for parents and their child (5.5-9 years old) to participate in our research study on the way parents and children play together.
The study involves coming into the University of Canterbury on a Saturday or Sunday and spending some time in our playroom, playing with your child, and answering some questions.
The heaters are on and the snacks are plentiful!
We'd love to welcome you and have you contribute to this study.
This study has been approved by the University's Human Research Ethics committee and has undergone UC Māori consultation.
If you're interested in being part of science, get in touch via the QR code in the flyer or by emailing olivia.caccioppoli@pg.canterbury.ac.nz
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.

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.
But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
