Do you recognise these kids from 1980? Midweek’s running a story on the swimming pool at Douglas Park School (formerly West School) turning 100 years old this month. We’d love to find these keen swimmers, who showed up in a photo supplied by Wairarapa Archive. Please let us know by emailing [email protected]

Kia ora Wairarapa! Douglas Park School pool will be 100 years old in November. The Principal has sent us this photo, with a view to recreating it with today’s pupils. We would LOVE to hear from former West School (as it was called) students who are now in their 90s or 80s to tell us their memories of school swimming. Does this sound like you? If so, PM us, email [email protected] or call 06 378 9999 and ask for Julia or Lucy.

Good evening Wairarapa! Hope you've had a great weekend! We are covering a story for this week's edition on voting among our young, newly-minted 18-year-olds. We would like to speak to one or two young people who are choosing not to exercise their right to vote this year, or who are ambivalent about doing so. If that's you, please PM us here at Midweek. You can be anonymous in the article, if that is your preference. Thank you!

"We chose, as businesses, to be part of the solution – and help them create a more soothing healing or passing environment. A lot of people end up passing away in hospital – so you may as well make it a beautiful, comforting and peaceful space.”

Ka pai to mahi to LYF4U and the Wairarapa business community for this amazing project. 💚💚💚

A new coat of paint in a “soothing colour”, a comfortable armchair to sleep in, and a cupboard full of necessary toiletries and aromatherapy supplies can’t heal a life-threatening illness or ease a family’s grief. But they can help create a “beautiful, comforting and peaceful space” in w...

“We want our students to feel supported, connected and empowered to dream big – and to know what they can contribute to the world. And that they do not have to do it alone.”
