Vape shop to open next to school

Sheetal Neighbourly Lead from Flaxmere

I just found out that the dairy next to Raureka School has had approval to sell vaping products, this dairy is 40m from the school not 300m as per the requirements. There obviously was no discussion with neighbours or the wider community.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Books wanted

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Does anyone have any Alexandre Dumas books they don’t want anymore?
I absolutely love the stories but have only experienced them on screen. Especially The Three Musketeers. I’ve just binge watched the latest series for the second time in 2 months.
