BrotherHood
Kia ora Whanau,
I’m currently on my placement for Wintec down at Te Ahurei a Rangatahi in the city. Been blessed with the opportunity to serve in an awesome support group called ‘Brotherhood’, which focuses on the health and wellbeing of young males age 12-18yrs who are either not engaging in school maybe a little rough around the edges or your young one just wants to hang out!!. Activities are fun based and revolve around sport, self defence (martial arts), life skills, graffiti art/hip hop and outings, in and around the Waikato area. We meet every Wed 5:00pm-8:30pm with a mean feed to end the night and we also drop off after! If you could be interested, please don’t hesitate to leave a message.
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!
