Term 2 Art classes in Howick

Megan from MEGANZ School of Visual Arts

Ever wanted to learn to draw and paint: a portrait, a figure, cartoons, landscape scenes, buildings, dinosaurs, cars, a still-life, etc, etc.
Or create 3D figures, creatures from your imagination, build clay pots, use Sculpey, or use mixed media to create whatever is in your mind, then now is your chance to get into it.
My Term 2 classes are beginning next week and I have a few spaces left. If you are between the age of 9 to adult, then come and give it a go. The course runs for 8 weeks.
Check out my website for details and contact Megan to make a time to meet to discuss what your aims are.

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
