Howick Boutigue Art School. Term 2 classes. Start any time

Megan from Cockle Bay

Hi everyone,
This term at MEGANZ School of Visual Arts, the students can choose their own art projects to work on.
Anything, from drawing realistic subject matter to using their imagination to create characters, etc. To paint in acrylics or watercolours, or mixed media, on themes of their choice. To sculpt using clay or papier mache, plasticine, Sculpey, plaster, or mixed media. Or find something on the internet to try out.
I take students from age 10 through to adults.
They can begin any time throughout the term because everyone is working on their own projects and in their own time.
There are up to eight students in each class.
I only have a few spaces left this term to fill, so don't miss out
Check out the students work on my Instagram page @meganzsva
And take a look at the course details on my website
www.vizart.co.nz...
Hope to meet you
Cheers
Megan Murphy

Kōnae: Find Your Records

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

If you want to know how to request records about you or your whānau visit Kōnae: My Records Guide konae.org.nz.

Kōnae has information on more than 60 state and faith-based organisations that have records for over 800 homes and places in Aotearoa New Zealand about people who have been in their guardianship or care.

The Kōnae map shows past and present places in Aotearoa New Zealand like children’s homes, hospitals, orphanages, boarding schools, Youth Justice facilities and many more.

Each place on the map has details about who was responsible for running it and how to get records.

The map can be searched and filtered by
- name
- location
- date range
- religion
- type of organisation.

If you want support to use the website or to find your records, you can get in touch with your local CAB on 0800 367 222, email or message via cab.org.nz, or visit a CAB near you cab.org.nz/find-a-cab

Accessing records can bring up a range of emotions, we encourage you to take care of your wellbeing. You can find suggestions of support at konae.org.nz/support
