School Holiday Art Classes at Petone's Seaside Art & Gift Gallery
Attending one of these art classes at Petones seaside gallery could be the most rewarding activities youth could do these school holidays. No previous experience required, - under the expert and helpful guidance of Petone artist, Alfred Memelink, youth will learn the basics of watercolour painting in a fun environment above the seaside art gallery. Leave your youth with us and pick them up again 2 hours later when, proud as punch, they will have their masterpiece ready to show you and wearing a beaming smile of creative satisfaction. You can select from either a morning class, 10am – 12 midday or afternoon class from 1 – 3pm. There are also a couple of Saturday morning family art classes where parents, uncles/aunts or grandparents are also welcome to join and for youth prices.

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.
