Playtime at St Hilda's (Island Bay) confirmation

Clive from Island Bay

St Hilda's playtime restarts on Friday. We are reopening our play time for under 5's this Friday Feb 10th from 9.30- 12.30. The outside play area has been refurbished and is ready for use. For a trial period we will be open again on Tuesday and Friday mornings until we can get an idea of what works for parents and caregivers.
The toys, playthings and coffee will be there again so come and enjoy a relaxing time with your toddler and other caregivers and parents.

If you are a new parent or have a toddler come and give it a try! Parking is available.
We appreciate a donation to help cover costs.

Another community activity by the volunteers at St Hilda’s.
We are at 311 the Parade (opposite Patricia's pie shop)

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.
