Day 5 of Mental Health Awareness Week - Keep learning refers to ‘exercising our mind’ – almost like taking our brain to the gym. Learning something new together with friends or whānau can boost motivation, enhance understanding and offer a sense of shared growth and discovery.

Be Mindful - Day 4!
Take notice refers to the practice of mindfulness. Mindfulness can be thought of as open and receptive attention to, and awareness of, what is occurring in the present moment. Practicing mindfulness with others can deepen connection and enhance our collective sense of wellbeing.

Day 3 - Mental Health Awareness Week!

Be active / me kori tonu is our Top Up Together theme for Rāapa (Wednesday). 🏃

Being active is not only important for our physical wellbeing, it’s also a powerful mood booster. Being active with whānau and friends can boost motivation, strengthen social bonds, and make physical activity more enjoyable.

The first episode, featuring Stan Walker will launch during Mental Health Awareness Week, with the remaining five episodes being released fortnightly on YouTube and Spotify.

And a big shout out to the Fanaticals podcast production company for helping make this happen

🕰️ Daylight Savings Time starts this Sunday morning at 3am!

⏰Set your clocks forward one hour. (Don't forget the oven!)
⏰Set your expectations for sleep back one week.
⏰Set your coffee machine to “emergency mode.” ☕️

This is the weekend where we all lose an hour of sleep and pretend we’re fine about it. Spoiler: we’re not. 😵‍💫

So if I look confused, tired, or show up to brunch at the wrong time… just blame the clock!

Some great tips from North Waikato Plunket 👌

Many household products are dangerous to tamariki. To keep kids as safe as possible at home:

🔒 Store chemicals in a safe place immediately after purchase with the lid on tight

🗑 Dispose of chemical and medicines that are no longer used

💊 Store vitamin bottles and similar items out of reach of tamariki

🧼 Keep dishwashers securely closed when not in use

If you're ever concerned that your child has consumed a poison or medicine, call the poisons helpline (0800 764 766) as soon as possible. In an emergency, dial 111.
