Vote for your favourite rose to win prizes! There is also a Rose Show, showcasing Wellingtonian’s best blooms! Free coffee at the Treehouse cafe for anyone named Rose; now I wonder when the Fern festival will be!

Until 5 Dec - Pilgrimage
The Rugby World Cup may be over (and ours!) but Kiwi’s passion for the sport never fades. Pilgrimage is a light box photography exhibition. The photographers move beyond the game itself, to look at the ways rugby permeates our lives, landscapes and national identity; something we have all witnessed firsthand this year!
Until 5 Dec, Courtenay Place Park. Free!
Goodbye Robyn Giles!In this last issue of our newsletter we would like to bid a final farewell to Robyn Giles, and express our thanks for the support and kindness she has offered to our students during the last 2
years. We wish her all the best with her future plans!
