Did you spot the seal recently?

Libby Totton Reporter from Piako Post

A seal was spotted at the Riverwalk on November 25 in the Waitukaruru Stream, which leads to the Piako River, and there were plenty of theories about where it had come from, how, and how far he’d had to travel to get there.

Presuming the seal had come from the nearest coast at Thames, he would have travelled at least 80km to get there. But some think he could have come from further north.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
