Christchurch believes it's gaining VIP status when it comes to events.

The Wellington Phoenix have joined the Warriors in signing a three-year deal which will see fixtures played at the new Te Kaha Stadium.

Construction of the facility is still underway, with plans to open in April 2026.

Venues Otautahi CEO Caroline Harvie-Teare told Mike Hosking it makes sense for the city to be the home of new teams.

She says the city has a wonderful portfolio of infrastructure and is setting itself up to be the events capital of New Zealand.

The World of Wearable Art is going international. 

The long running fashion show's expanding from its original format and launching a landmark exhibition in celebration of its 40th year. 

Initially set for Wellington's Takina next year, it'll feature more than 50 rarely seen archived pieces in a large-scale, immersive experience. 

WOW Chief Executive Meg Williams says from there, the world is WOW's oyster. 

She told Mike Hosking thanks to social media they have a growing fanbase in the United States, particularly New York, and Asia. 

Williams says they can't take the show everywhere, but they can take the exhibition.

It's a sudden death match for the Warriors. 

They're going up against the Knights in a knockout clash this weekend at Eden Park in front of what's set to be the biggest Warriors crowd on New Zealand soil. 

If they win, they face Penrith for a spot in the Grand Final. 

Assistant Coach Stacey Jones told Mike Hosking it's disappointing they couldn't get the job done last week, but they have it sorted for the upcoming clash. 

He says they know their game and the players are clear on what their roles are and how they want to do them, so if they get that right they'll be tough to beat.

An Auckland secondary school leader says political parties need to stop kicking education changes down the road. 

If elected, Labour wants to freeze the Government's overhaul of the sector and put an independent group of experts in charge of determining next steps. 

NCEA would be left unchanged until 2029. 

Mount Albert Grammar Headmaster Patrick Drumm told Mike Hosking he questions why the changes need to be slowed down. 

He says they're already well advanced on the reforms to the curriculum and the design of the assessment system, and it would be catastrophic to tell people they're starting again.
