Kaipātiki Information
Kaipātiki Local Youth Board
Provides opportunities for young people in Kaipātiki to get involved in the community, and have the voice of youth in local decision making processes. It also means being part of the local consultation process with the Kaipātiki Local Board and other local and central government agencies.
Most importantly, the Kaipātiki Local Youth Board allows our youth to engage with others their same age at a decision-making level, and to engage with elected officials and politicians to provide events, or projects for youth lead by youth.
Children’s and Student Panels
These panels, started five years ago, have provided an opportunity for young people to have a voice in specific areas each school term throughout the year, working collaboratively with agencies and/or our Local Board.
Schools involved include Birkenhead, Glenfield and Northcote High Schools, Birkdale, Glenfield and Northcote Intermediate Schools and identified local primary schools.
A snapshot of the issues covered include: Pest Free Kaipatiki, Youth Health, Transport, Safety in the Community, Watersafe, Library Hours, Connected Kaipatiki.
