The life story of this naturalist, historian, illustrator, and writer is a beautiful, truly antipodean journey, made with love by her cousin and long-time Kiwi filmmaker, Hugh Macdonald.
No Ordinary Sheila was first released at the New Zealand International Film Festival 2017 and was one of the most popular films in the festival. It went on to the cinema release from October 2018 to enthusiastic reviews and large audiences. BPW Franklin presents this acclaimed Festival Film, showing at Cinema3, Pukekohe specially hired for the BPW Movie Event.

The 'Financial Literacy Fund' will support students with critical financial literacy skills needed before they embark on their working careers; change their habits from 'spend, spend, spend' to one where they learn to prioritise money and save for things they need. This fund will instill our youth with hope that they can strive to achieve their goals.
Over the next year before the first round of distributions are made, we want to learn what programmes are out there that we may be able to help support and grow. Talk to us at Momentum Waikato Community Foundation.
Come and chat, offload, share and get support with other women. Would love to see you!

That’s why Ryman villages plan ahead by offering independent living in apartments and townhouses, assisted living in serviced apartments, resthome care and, in most villages, hospital and specialist dementia care.
We offer a higher ratio of care in our villages so that if your needs change, you have priority access to our care centres.

The New Zealand Geographic Board has accepted two out of three proposed names for new train stations around south Auckland’s Drury.
In May, Kiwi Rail and Auckland Transport – with the blessings of mana whenua – proposed three reo Māori ingoa (names) for the stations connecting Papakura and Pukehohe: Maketuu, Ngaakooroa and Paeraataa, with double vowels in line with the tradition of local iwi like Waikato-Tainui.
This month the Geographic Board (LINZ) said would accept Ngākōroa and Paerātā Railway Stations, with macrons not doubled vowels.
It also declined the proposal for Maketuu station, opting instead for Drury Railway Station.
The three stations will be part of the newly electrified rail network. KiwiRail is in the process of buying the land needed, and the stations are still being designed. It expects all three stations to be finished by late 2025.
You can have your say on the name proposals at linz.govt.nz or by emailing nzgbsubmissions@linz.govt.nz.
