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

Free rabbit

Howdy neighbours!

I've ended up having to rescue a rabbit yesterday from a rather complicated (and not great) situation. The owner has now asked that I try to find a home for him as she is in Northland and won't be able to travel down to collect him.

So I'm wondering if anyone would love a gorgeous 14 week old white male dwarf rabbit. I would keep him if our situation would allow but it's driving one of my dogs crazy and we don't have a suitable outside area.

It would be great isolation entertainment for kids :-) He is also apparently litterbox trained but suspect he may need to be refreshed on this.

Now, his family is hoping to raise $150,000 to take him to the United States for an operation to eliminate his pain.
