It was World Book Day on the 23rd of April, so what better time to celebrate some of our talented residents who have published books.
They range from children’s books, to poems, from non-fiction to a first novel - and all are proof that there is no age limit when it comes to creativity!

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
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.

Ally Cat - lost since May 5
Ally Cat is a sweet but very timid little cat. She has been missing from her home in Strathmore Park since May 5. We don't know how far she could have wandered. Her human family and her brother Neko miss her terribly and are very worried. Please get in touch if you see her. She is likely to be hiding during the day. She is black and white, with a white face and black ears and tail. Her belly and her legs are all white apart from a small black patch behind her front left paw.
