Tuesday 22nd March Central Library 4-5pm
The flying guy in this photo is from NZ Parkour, come and discover how you can get in on the action at this taster session.
Recreation Wellington will be there with some fitness freebies, and as a bonus, you can tell them what you think they should be doing for young people in this city.
Well not quite, but if you’re at the central library next Tuesday the 25th of August between 7 and 8pm you’ll pick up a few invaluable tips on how to keep yourself safe. The Safe and Sound seminar goes a little something like this:
– A mini Body Combat warm up class with Alice Khaw from Les Mills (what’s Body Combat?);
– A session with Tony Moore from the Ministry of Youth Development, ex police and current black belt.
Should be fun and informative. Be there and bring a friend (wearing clothes that you can, you know, bend in)!
Is a busy one. Things to note:
Tuesday 11 August – Urban Survival Series “Staying Sane” 7-8pm at the Central Library. This week’s session (“Work & Wage”) ended with a couple of job interviews for a couple of people, so we’re wondering what will come out of this next session? Email us your questions on life, relationships with parentals and friends and stuff to teenblog@wcl.govt.nz.
Wednesday 12 August is Hoodie Day – you can find out more about this here and here. More trivia: Wikipedia says that hoodies are referred to as “bunnyhugs” in Saskatchewan (Canada).
Most importantly, Thursday 13 August is International Lefthanders Day, so be nice to us (be nice to us anyway). Because we like lists, here’s a list of famous lefthanded people. The library’s also got a collection of books about being left-handed.
That’s approximately everything at the moment.
Work & Wage (this Thursday the 6th of August, Central Library, 4 to 5pm), is all about jobs.
What makes you and your CV stand out in the crowd; what are employers looking for? How do you write a good CV when you actually don’t have much to put on it? What should you write in your covering letter?
Find out all this and more, including making your experiences count, getting references and considering voluntary work, career progression within a company and Performance Appraisals from a managements point of view. Career Services will also be there to let you know how they can help.
Have you heard of the Fridge Test? Usually undertaken in the middle of winter, it’s when you open your fridge door and stick your head in, then take your head out and close the fridge door, ascertaining whether it’s warmer inside the fridge or out.
The joys of flatting and houses and homes: be at the Central Library tomorrow (Tuesday 28th of July) at 7pm for When Good Flats Go Bad, a talk show featuring horror stories from a panel of flatters, and invaluable tips from legal eagle Felicity McNeill of the Wellington Community Law Centre. You just might come away equipped to be the best flatmate anyone could ask for (including your family).
Now you’ve got a bit more time to create a prize-winning recipe: the deadline for the Urban Survival Series recipe competition has been extended to 5pm on the 7th of August. This way you can incorporate some tips from the ‘Food Glorious Food’ seminar (be at the central library this Thursday the 23rd) to make your creation even more fabulous.

The Urban Survival Series is almost here… The first seminar ‘Food Glorious Food’ kicks off on July 23rd at the Central Library 4-5pm.
It’s all about how to cook a mean feed without blowing the budget and the types of food you should be eating to keep looking good and healthy.
