Choice News Tuesday: 90% of new renewable energy is now cheaper than fossil fuels

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

We’ve hit a tipping point, where choosing clean energy is the smart choice, and not just because we want to reduce our carbon emissions 🌍⚡💸

We’ve hit a tipping point, where choosing clean energy is the smart choice, and not just because we want to reduce our carbon emissions 🌍⚡💸

Thanks to major tech improvements and mass production over the past decade, the cost of wind, solar, and other renewables has dropped fast. As a result, most new power capacity built around the world came from renewables, and every continent added more clean energy than fossil fuels.

Money — the ultimate decision-maker in politics and business — is finally lining up with climate action. A big win for the planet (and maybe our wallets?)

We hope this news brings a smile!

Rosehill Intermediate School Enrolment Process

The Rosehill Intermediate School Board of Trustees invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their child/children at Rosehill Intermediate School for 2026. Hard packs are available from the school office from 29th August 2025.

Parents of students who live within the home zone should apply as soon as possible to help the school plan appropriately for next year.

Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available from the school office and online from our website www.rosehillintermediate.school.nz....

The deadline for receipt of applications for out-of-zone places is 19th September 2025.

The Board has determined that 50 places for Year 7 and Year 8 students are likely to be available for out-of-zone students next year. The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone.

If the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. If a ballot is required, it will be held on 8th October 2025, and parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held.

When things get overwhelming, what do you do to reset?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It’s been a little full-on at the office lately, and the Neighbourly team found ourselves chatting about something we all experience: stress.

It’s been a little full-on at the office lately, and the Neighbourly team found ourselves chatting about something we all experience: stress.

We got talking about the power of nature — green spaces like parks, bush walks, or even just sitting under a tree, and blue spaces like the ocean, lakes, or rivers. Research agrees: being in nature really does help calm the mind. We’re lucky here in Aotearoa to have such beautiful spots right on our doorstep!

But sometimes, getting out for a walk or escaping to the beach isn’t an option. So we’re curious...

We want to know: What do you do to find a moment of calm when life gets a bit too much?
A hot cuppa? A good playlist? Staring out the window?

Let us know ... your go-to might help someone else breathe a little easier, too.

Has anybody heard anything about their local people who are standing? I have had one lot of info from Papakura Action Team, that's all, very appreciated. Where are all the others. Does anyone know anything about who is standing for Mayor apart from our current Mayor who is standing again. We use to get information about the local candidates in our local papers, now we don't even receive a local paper. So where are we to get all the info we need to look at, not 2/3 days before the election and not from the Computer, not all our Seniors don't use the computer for those reason Do you really expect people more people to vote this elections, I'd be very surprised.

The only mainland Royal Albatross breeding colony in the world can be found at Dunedin's Taiaroa Head. The Albatross are largest (and arguably the prettiest) seabird and is a taonga species to Māori.

Keen to see a fluffy royal albatross live? Head to the Royal Cam - a 24-hour live stream of an albatross nest.

Why the live feed? Well, the royal albatross are slow-breeding birds, and lay only one egg every two years.
Currently the chick in the feed is in its post-guard period, and is left alone. The parents are only returning with food every few days. This little chick will be hitting a milestone really soon - it will finally take their first flight in September! Keep an eye on our little celebrity here.
