Poll: How many extra-curricular activities do your children take part in?

Briar Hubbard Reporter from Franklin County News

Hey Neighbours,
Term three is well underway, and we would love to know how many extra-curricular activities your children are taking part in this term.

Do you think children should play a sport/learn an instrument/commit to extra study after school? Or do you think after school hours should be dedicated to the likes of resting, homework or doing chores?

What do your children take part in and why?
Is there too much pressure on parents to sign children up for activities, or do the benefits outweigh the negatives?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
