New Plymouth Girls' High School Vape Policy
Dear Stella Bond (Acting Principal), Currently, at New Plymouth Girls' High School there is no policy against students vaping on school grounds. This is an issue because vaping with high levels of nicotine has been proven to negatively affect the human body and can lead to addiction. Young people are at risk of being peer pressured by others to participate in this and as their brains are not yet fully developed they are unlikely to consider the longterm effects of vaping.

Bring Missy Elliot to Friday Jams Live NZ 2020
It's worth a shot so I'll give it a go. With three successful Friday Jams Live concerts so far, every year I hope this Queen comes but nothing so far. I've been a diehard fan since she started, would love to see her grace our New Zealand stage to be the final showstopper for the evening at Friday Jams Live 2020. So share, sign, everything and hopefully someone who knows her will see this and let her know 😉🤣 Dreams are free 👌🏽

Matai Moana, Mt Crawford, Stop the Sale
Matai Moana (Mt Crawford) Kāti te hoko! Stop the sale! The Taranaki Whānui Uri Working Group (UWG) are taking action against the forecasted selling of our maunga Matai Moana – otherwise known as Mt Crawford. The return of this maunga to manawhenua is a dream come true. Those Uri beneficiaries that want it fully retained in iwi ownership are extremely saddened to discover that some of our iwi leaders are all too willing to sell it all to the Wellington Company through developers Egmont Dixon.

In Support of Academic Freedom of Expression and Critical Thought
We believe in upholding the democratic values of freedom of speech, thought, and expression. We view Academic freedom of expression in universities as paramount to the process of higher education and empirically-grounded research. The suppression of opposing views stifles critical thought and debate, which are incredibly important parts of a university education and should be promoted and encouraged in both students and staff. We strongly oppose the idea that Academic Freedom should only apply

Remove our waka MAMARU from the Mamaru Clinic title
Mamaru Clinic has had our WAKA name embedded in their title for years, and for years they have FAILED to appropriately serve and treat the descendants of MAMARU WAKA. We deserve better service and a much better level of care for a clinic carrying a name with so much MANA, and yet fail to uphold the MANA of its descendants... and for this THEY DO NOT DESERVE TO HAVE OUR WAKA NAME IN THEIR TITLE - I think it's time to make a stand and protest to have the name changed and or REMOVE OUR WAKA MAMARU
