Now he'll have to self - isolate and have multiple tests and when he is finished those and when he's clear he'll be allowed back in CLASS. That's BS, send him back to Auckland and Fine him too. He has just put the whole of New Plymouth at risk not to Mention the rest of New Zealand. The Tutor did not report this to the police what is wrong with him too?
"Reverting places names to te reo Māori origins a 'gateway to stopping racism' - Te Pāti Māori co-leader."

The word racism appears to be the catchcry for anything and everything that's apparently wrong in New Zealand society today. The repetitive use of the word now means that it has lost it's true definition. But free speech allows it so I don't condemn the people who monotonously use it. The same goes for place names - "Call it what you like...it's your right!". I was born in "New Plymouth" and so New Plymouth will always be my ancestral home and I will always call it that. Call me racist if you like (I don't care because I'm not) but Mt Egmont will also always be Mt Egmont. But now that he has taken the name Taranaki I have decided, because it is my right, to change the name of the province I live in. I reckon it is apt. Sláinte!

We are very excited to be working with Fraser of New Plymouth District Council to help expand the volunteer numbers for this year's TSB Festival of Lights 2021/22.
Every year the Events Teams work really hard to bring together the events within our community. They could not do it as well as they do without the great support of awesome volunteers - who give of their time to maintain the friendly atmosphere of these events. It is always a fun and lively experience and those who have previously volunteered most often come back year on year.
The Festival starts 18th December 2021 through to 30th January 2022. Shifts are 8.00pm – 11pm.
You are provided with a free festival t-shirt and there is a great wrap up party at the end of the festival. You have rostered nights on and you can select which nights of the week you prefer and also list dates you are not available. You are paired up for the night – so if you have a friend (who is also volunteering) and you would like to be together then you can request that too.
We are making a call out to those who have not yet registered to help. Registrations close on October 15th, 2021. If you have the digital technology to register here is the Link: festivaloflights.nz... . This will take you to the website and click on the icon with three bars on the top right hand side, which will then show Get Involved it will explain there about volunteering and then Apply Now tab to register.
We know that there are people who would really enjoy being part of this great event and perhaps have not seen it advertised or have not registered because they are not in the digital age and are not able to register on line.
We have an alternative for you - if you phone us we can take your details and register for you.
There are some criteria to volunteering:
Volunteers must be a minimum of 16 years of age and be prepared to work from 8:00pm – 11pm for a minimum of 6 nights during the festival.
There are two volunteer roles at the 2021 / 22 Festival – seated and mobile.
1. Seated – Festival Hub where you meet and greet the public, talk about what’s on, hand out maps, brochures and encourage them to fill in the survey and enter the competition to WIN.
2. Mobile role – Various locations including the Fernery – hang out at the various interactive features and engage the public, talk about the feature, artist and show them how to use it! – You get a chance to spend the night at 2/3 features over the course of the night in this role.
So please, if you think you would like to help or just want to know more, contact Wendy at Volunteering New Plymouth on (06) 758 8986, email: admin@volunteeringnewplymouth.nz or phone or text 022 571 4228 so that she can register your interest to help
