Papanui High School Belly Dancing Course Term 1
Would you like to try something different? Interested in gentle exercise but don't want to go to the gym? Why not come along and enrol in our Belly Dancing class taught by Nicola Rooney and due to start on Monday 19 February 7-8 pm for 7 weeks at a cost of $98. If you enjoy music and moving to music you can do this fun and social activity. All new dancers are welcome, no previous dance experience necessary! Our dancers come from all walks of life, range in age from young adults to retirees, and are all at different levels of fitness and despite popular opinion we don't bare our bellies. Come prepared for a few laughs, and develop lasting friendships through shared experiences in a supportive environment. From folkloric to caberet, tribal to dance fusion, belly dance promotes body awareness and confidence as well as creativity and self-expression, all through gentle exercise and the art of moving to music. For further information and enrolment you can visit our website www.papanui.school.nz... or email Barbara Roper rpb@papanui.school.nz or telephone our office on 3520701.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.

Some Choice News!
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!
