Contribute to new Pukerua Bay community newsletter
Kia ora koutou katoa … and Happy New Year
As you know, the school has published a community newsletter for many years. This has now ceased, so a group of us from the Residents’ Association thought we would give it a go.
We have developed some initial ideas about format, size, and content, and the main purpose will be to celebrate our community and help bring people together. We know we have the Facebook groups and website, but this will be for everyone. Something that doesn’t require a digital connection and that you can stick on the fridge.
The theme for the first issue will be, “2020 was tough – how can Pukerua Bay work together to make 2021 amazing?”
We’re not asking for details – just one or two sentences with a brief response to that question. Maybe you’d like to invite people to join your group, or maybe there’s a big event planned? What would you like people to know about?
We’re looking forward to hearing from you about the exciting things you’ve planned!
Please send your responses to our group email at newsletter@pukeruabay.org.nz by Friday January 29.
Moira, Nikky, Jonathan, Iain, and Kate

Loving our place – Covid Courier #5
In a few weeks, you’re going to be asked to help review our Village Plan. In the past, residents have always said that one of the things they love most about Pukerua Bay is our beautiful natural environment.
This issue of the Covid Courier looks at some of what makes our place so special and offers you a chance to be given a copy of one of Gay Hay’s beautiful books! It also looks at some of the supports available as we change lockdown levels.
- Kohekohe by Gillian Candler
- Nature in Pukerua Bay by Gay Hay
- We remembered on Anzac Day
- Coping with change – support within our village and from outside

COVID Courier – Anzac issue
Hot off the press — Pukerua Bay’s COVID Courier ANZAC Day special!
Pukerua Bay has a long association with servicemen. Some of the men were living in the Bay when they enlisted, but many of them were associated with the Bay through friends and family.
Local historian, Margaret Blair, tells their stories in this special issue of COVID Courier.
Plan for the 25th: Stand at Dawn
The RSA and New Zealand Defence Force would like us to remember those who gave their lives for our country. At 6:00 am on Saturday 25 April, stand at your letterbox and take a moment to remember our fallen – but please stay within your ‘bubble’.

COVID Courier #3 is out
The latest edition of the COVID Courier is out, with more on our competitions.
Most of us are probably keen to hear the news — possibly tomorrow — about when we will move from Level 4 to Level 3.
In the meantime, we have more news about events in Pukerua Bay and the PKB Lockdown challenges.
We also have advice from one of our community members on linking up with someone if you’re feeling a bit down.
Read it all here. If you know a neighbour who would like it, but isn’t online or on social media, print a copy and drop it in their letterbox.

COVID Courier #2 out
The lastest edition of the COVID Courier is out with news and tips for getting through the rest of the lockdown.
And competitions! The limericks made us chuckle, but we want more.
Kirk has a challenge for you to help make videos and take photos about you and your family during the lockdown.
If you’re finding things getting a bit much, you don’t have to go through it on your own. The Courier has tips on where to find emotional support.
And there’s information about where you can worship this Easter – obviously from home – but there are Christian communities that have organised events anyone can join.
