Safeswim – an inside look at how it works
Back in November, Auckland Council launched an upgraded Safeswim website giving you a great new tool to help understand water quality at your local beaches. It provides up-to-date information on beach conditions so you can make safe choices on where to swim.
The attached document also outlines what the Safeswim symbols mean and what risks exist when swimming at beaches with these warnings.
Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
