Bikes in school a big hit for Titahi Bay School
Mass bike-riding is the best thing that’s ever happened at Titahi Bay School, principal Kerry Delaney says.
“Biking can benefit those who struggle with school or home,” Delaney said.
If things had gone wrong at home, or someone told them off, children got on a bike at school and left those issues behind.
“It’s not just about learning to ride a bike; it’s about feeling good about yourself.”
Titahi Bay School established a fleet of bikes in 2014 as part of the Porirua Bikes in Schools project after students raised money for the bikes and a modified shipping container to store them in.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
