Measles outbreak - unvaccinated students told to stay home

Neighbourly.co.nz

Students who are not vaccinated against measles have been told to stay home from Manurewa High School.

The school has 13 cases to date, and those who are not immunised are asked to not return to school until September 2.

"You must contact attendance as per normal to inform us that you are not coming in, reason being you are 'not immunised'." If a student is immunised, they must bring proof, such as a Plunket book or medical records.

For more information, phone Healthline on 0800 611 116 or visit the ARPHS or Ministry of Health websites.

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!
