Covid-19 information and resources

Jon-Paul from Willowgrove Consulting Limited

We face unprecedented times and there is a shortage of good information around.

We've been watching this train wreck happen since it started in China and we have compiled a resource of well-supported information for people so they can come up to speed on this far quicker.

We face unprecedented times and there is a shortage of good information around.

We've been watching this train wreck happen since it started in China and we have compiled a resource of well-supported information for people so they can come up to speed on this far quicker.

The measures implemented by the government are welcomed and will help, however, like most things it is helped more by people doing what is asked of them and being informed to do it in the best possible way.

Recently the banks announced their intention to cease offering cheque services in the near future. Already organisations such as IRD and the Post Office are no longer accepting them. Some businesses are also starting to become reluctant to handle cash, for fear of infection.

Most of us use cards and internet banking, so this is no problem. However, a significant number of older people don't have access to these methods, and rely on cheques or cash to pay some of their bills.
The covid-19 advice to all people over 70 is to self isolate as much as possible.

Surely the banks should announce postponement of their move and IRD, Post Office etc should reverse their decision for the immediate future to prevent additional stress to some particularly vulnerable members of society at this dreadful time.

Kia ora all,

I am a registered NZ teacher who has been working as a reliever this year, and now with school closures, I am looking for online tutoring work.

I trained as a primary school teacher (completing a Masters of Teaching and Learning with Distinction), but I have also previously tutored high school students in Math and Science (due to my expertise from previously graduating with first-class honours in a Bachelor of Engineering).

So I am available to tutor in all subjects from year 1-9.
and to tutor maths and science for all year levels up to year 13.

For more information,
you can email me on michelledeacon@gmail.com
or txt me on 027 934 8981

Thanks,
Michelle
