Smithy's Noticeboard Community

Hi all,
As many of you may be aware there is a group of people in Glenorchy working towards possibly building a new early childhood education centre in Glenorchy to meet the growing needs of our rapidly expanding community. We are currently in the process of getting a feasibility study completed but one of the biggest hurdles to getting funding will be showing other uses/benefits to the wider community outside of the ECE.
So my question to the rest of the community is… if we were to get the money to build a new facility on the land where the playgroup is currently, what could we incorporate into the build to make it useful for other groups/purposes?
Ideas so far include:
-playgroup room
-After school care
-kids holiday programme's
-commercial kitchen for community fundraising/hire out/cooking classes
-energy production/support for pool
-wellness/health room for under 5s
-Gym/activity room
-youth centre/evenings?
-educational vegetable garden

So if you have any ideas please let us know: email gyeceproject@gmail.com or call/txt Christina 021655735

Hi everyone,

We're wondering how many may be interested in an "old time" film photography club/group.

The difference to the usual photography club is that we are interested in keeping alive the art of film developing, and printing, and of course taking photos with analog cameras.  No previous experience necessary. We can all learn together.

We would be keen on hearing from you if you are interested, and especially if you know if a location where we might establish a community dark room. There is funding available for equipment and supplies, sponsored by the Museum group.

You can email us at

thor.corrine@xtra.co.nz and leslie.vangelder@gmail.com. 

This part-time position has become available at Glenorchy School. Duties include lawn mowing, spraying and weed eating throughout the season (mid September - mid April).

For further information about the position, please contact the Principal, Paula Miller, at principal@glenorchy.school.nz 

Applications close on Monday 4 October at 4:00pm. 

We are looking for expressions of interest from people keen to run a stall/food at the Glenorchy Races January 2022.

Calling for evening food options as well.

Please write a letter of application and email to lakesiderugbyclub@gmail.com

Applications close 31 October
