Dress kids for the weather
Even though it’s not supposed to be particularly cold, with this cyclone, I’d recommend, if sending kids to school, send them with long pants over shorts and skirts (tuck skirts and dresses into pants). That way, if they get wet, they can just take their long pants off at school and hang them over their bags, and not have to spend half the day in wet shorts or skirts.
Coming home isn’t so bad, as they can get changed at home, but having to sit with a wet lower half is not great. An extra pair of socks in their bags can also come in handy, given most sneakers aren’t waterproof, so even if their shoes get wet, they can stay indoors with dry socks on.

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.
