Term 1 Art Classes beginning from 3rd of Feb

Megan from MEGANZ School of Visual Arts

Hi everyone,
Our art classes are starting back for this new year from the 3rd of Feb. I take students from age 9 through to adults. I mainly teach drawing, painting, sculpture, and mixed media work and a little printmaking. I do a mix of tutor directed and student-initiated projects with the students. They can work on their chosen subjects for as long as they want and take it in any direction they would like to go. Please contact me if you and/or your child would like to come and take a look and talk to me about your artistic goals.
Check out my website for details.
I am based in Cockle Bay. Cheers Megan
Below is a lovely painting by Jessica Kang, age 12

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.

Poll: 🗑️ Would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Aucklanders, our weekly rubbish collections are staying after councillors voted to scrap a proposed trial of fortnightly pick-ups.

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

Keen for the details? Read up about the scrapped collection trial here.

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!
