The Unveil
By Isabel Smirk

Children from our local school Green Bay primary, have recently unveiled an artwork at Rahui Kahika Reserve, which is between Castleford street and Titirangi road. This project brings awareness to kauri dieback in this reserve and others. Itseeked assistance from Pamela Gill of EcoMatters, Christine Rose, the kauri dieback co - ordinator for the Waitakere Ranges Local Board and artistic organiser Melissa Hastings. The artwork is a large sign which has beautiful illustrations of “what you will find in these wonderful urban wetlands” including the weta, kereru and ponga. The year 6 students designed and produced the artworks themselves, with help from their teacher Anja Hennig who encourages her students to care for the future of the reserve.

Learn something new!
By Lily Burton

Is there a skill you've always wanted to learn but never had the opportunity? Perhaps it's knitting? Maybe it's painting? Yoga? Film making? Maybe you even want to learn the art of uni-cycling? Or perhaps all you really want to do is sit down and enjoy a good book with a nice cup of tea. Whatever it is, with 43 different classes and activities, the Green Bay Community house has something for everyone. Also, if you know how to d something you think other people will enjoy learning or participating in, you can host your own class while earning a little extra cash and have a great time. The Green Bay community house is located at 1 Barren Drive. Hope to see you there!
Here’s the link to their webpage where you can read through a full list of all their exciting activities:

Music for a Cause
By Rose Ursem

Are you keen to hear some live music from a local band? Or perhaps want to help children struggling with special needs in your community? Coming up on Friday the 4th of November from 6-8pm is a fundraiser at Green Bay Primary School hall. The money raised goes towards supporting parents with special needs children so the children and parents can go on school camp, and any additional money raised will buy resources for the children. Entry is by donation, so come along in a week's time to hear some of our local emerging talent.

If you are organising an event or want to share any other information with your community please e-mail us and we will include it in next month's e-newsletter.
