After reading Flip Grater's opinion piece, Playing germ roulette with our kids’ health, we felt a collective sense of relief - another parent shares our niggling worries.
We wanted to check in with our online neighbours: do you feel the same way? We are all busy, and keeping children home from school is sometimes impossible given other responsibilities. Busy lives and the apparent loss of collective energy around monitoring cold symptoms have led to more students and staff in shared spaces with sniffles and coughs.
But what do you think? Is this a concern?
We want to know: Are there clear Guidelines on when to keep kids off of school?
Should we be having a nuanced conversation about risk management, and how to better support working families?

Kiwi pukupuku (the little spotted kiwi) have been rediscovered in the wild on mainland Aotearoa New Zealand for the first time in five decades!

The pukupuku is the smallest and one of the most vulnerable kiwi species. Only around 2000 birds remain on offshore islands and predator-free sanctuaries, and are the descendants of just 5 birds which had been translocated to Kapiti Island from South Westland in 1912.
The March discovery in the remote Adams Wilderness Area, on the West Coast, is definitely choice news.
Ka pai to the amazing investigation team: DOC biodiversity ranger Iain Graham and his conservation dog, Brew!
We hope this news brings a smile!

Step into the enchanting world of My Fair Lady, the beloved Broadway classic musical that tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a spirited Cockney flower girl with big dreams, and Henry Higgins, a brilliant but arrogant phonetics professor. Higgins bets he can transform Eliza into a proper lady of society through speech and manners alone; their unlikely journey of self-discovery, romance and transformation begins.
With charming and witty songs like "I Could Have Danced All Night" and "Wouldn't It Be Loverly”, you are in for a real musical treat; featuring the creme de la creme of Nelson’s acting and singing talent.
