FREE hearing tests for infants aged 7 - 24 months

Sharon from Farm Cove

Hi everyone,
As part of a teaching initiative for the University of Auckland Master of Audiology programme, we are looking for a number of infants aged 7 - 24 months whose parents would like to volunteer them for a hearing test. All children will be tested by Master of Audiology students under the supervision of qualified, senior Audiologists.
This will be taking place next week at our Grafton Clinic on Tuesday afternoon, 27 October and all day Wednesday, 28 October 2020.
If you are concerned that you child rubs at their ears, is a little slow to talk or asks for repeats often, this may be an indication that they need a hearing test.
Please call the clinics on 923 9909 to book your appointment. There is free parking available onsite and we are close to good public transport links.

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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
