EXCELLENCE IN MATHEMATICS IS EXHILARATING

Peter from Devonport

Hi Neighbours,

With the School holidays coming to an end many secondary school students will be entering the NCEA maths curriculum and may find themselves struggling.
I have been teaching Mathematics in Devonport over the last 20 years using plenty of diagrams and emphasising the importance of solid working. A little bit of chess has also been used to successfully improve memory and develop the sequential tactical problem solving skills so critical in maths.
I am able to tutor in your homes around the Devonport area and I’m happy to zoom otherwise.
All my full time students passed their NCEA course requirements in 2023.
Perhaps I could help you discover excellence in mathematics.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
