Petrol prices in Te Awamutu are up with some of the highest in the country. On Tuesday — the day petrol prices climbed to new heights in New Zealand — the Herald asked NZME staffers across the country, including journalists at the Te Awamutu Courier, to send photos of petrol prices in their towns. The unscientific survey received more than 100 responses and was enacted after 91 octane fuel prices hit $2.30 at some stations on Tuesday — the most it has ever cost in New Zealand. In Te Awamutu, Pak’n Save, Caltex, Z and Mobil were all 220.9 cents per litre for 91.

TC240518SPPEKERAU TC240518SPTAI PEKERAU Primary School staff from left, Jason TE AWAMUTU Intermediate celebrates Pink Shirt Day to make a stand against bullying. Tubman, Tracey Gray, Angel Jude.

It was a day of lots of colour and fun but with a serious underlying message — bullying is not acceptable. Te Awamutu schools and workplaces turned pink last Friday for Pink Shirt Day which makes a stand against bullying. People sported clothing, footwear, hats and wigs in varying shades of pink to show their support. Celebrated annually around the world, the day began in Canada in 2007 after two students took a stand against homophobic bullying, mobilising their whole school, after a peer was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. In New Zealand, Pink Shirt Day aims to create schools, workplaces and communi- ties where all people feel safe, valued and respected.
