Volunteer Tutors wanted for an hour a week at Wesley College
Hi.
Two months ago Wesley College introduced a one on one literacy programme for some of its Yr 9 & Yr 10 pupils.
It is a fun and enjoyable way for people who have a one or two spare hours a week to engage with young folk, make a difference and meet other interesting locals.
You don't have to be worried about being trapped by this commitment. A tutor coordinator (me) will make sure that when you are unable to make it, or away on holiday, another tutor will take your spot so that the pupil doesn't miss out.
You don't need any particular skills or qualifications other than being able to read and a teacher remains in the class at all times while 10 tutors and 10 pupils work through a book and related tasks.
It is incredibly rewarding and makes a real difference.
Please give me a call if you think this might interest you.
Kind regards. Deb Cane 021745493
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
0% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
0% No. This would be impossible in practice.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
