Teachers turning to foodbanks and hardship grants

Josephine from Abel Tasman National Park

Kia ora neighbours. Teachers say they have been seeking help from foodbanks and hardship grants after the May 29 mega-strike cost them a day's pay. What do think of this? Are you a struggling teacher, or do you know a teacher doing it tough?

Floorball.....Fun, Fast and Easy to Learn :-)

Ole from Takanini

Never heard of Floorball? You may not be alone… This is a relatively new sport in New Zealand.

Never heard of Floorball? You may not be alone… This is a relatively new sport in New Zealand.

You may recognise it from school as Unihoc or Indoor Hockey.

Floorball is a team event. It is fast paced with lots of short sprint running and breaks in between. It is fun to play and very easy to learn. If you have played Field Hockey, Tennis, Football or any other ball sport, you will quickly pick up Floorball as well. What is even better is the fact that it is played indoors. Rain or shine…you can play Floorball.

We play twice a week and the 2020 season is starting up this coming Wednesday night 5th February.



Wednesday nights we play from 7:30pm till about 8:45pm and it is for the older teens, youth and adults.

Sunday afternoons we have children and younger teens from age about 6 and upwards playing from 4:00pm until about 5:15pm….

Cost of playing is $2.00 for those aged 17 or younger. Those aged 18 and older pay $5.00 per session.

We have equipment in the form of balls and sticks to play with so all you need is t-shirt, shorts and indoor sports shoes.

If you want to know more about Floorball, please contact us. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Cheers

Ole, Daren & Clint

Acacia Cove takes entertainment seriously!

Acacia Cove Village

Acacia Cove had a wonderful Race Night on Friday, 31st May.

The Jockeys and Jocketts were in top shape and as a result, their racing performance was remarkable. If I may add… Even their appearance has improved dramatically, some even looked about 60 years younger!

On 27th May, the bowlers … View more

The Jockeys and Jocketts were in top shape and as a result, their racing performance was remarkable. If I may add… Even their appearance has improved dramatically, some even looked about 60 years younger!

On 27th May, the bowlers from Possum Borne Village came to visit Acacia Cove. We kicked off the day with a nutritious morning tea, they had a delicious lunch and said their goodbyes over a cuppa during afternoon tea.

The weather was amazing, and the games were a pleasure to watch as the bowlers were all in top shape. Well done bowlers!
