In the US last year, Mom's Organic Market founder and CEO Scott Nash did something many are afraid to do: He ate a cup of yoghurt months after its expiration date. And then tortillas a year past their expiration date.

"I mean, I ate heavy cream I think 10 weeks past date," says Nash, "and then meat sometimes a good month past its date. It didn't smell bad. Rinse it off, good to go."

It was all part of his year-long experiment to test the limits on food that had passed its expiration date.

Westpac NZ polled 1000 people about their opinion on parents assisting their children into their first homes.

It found widespread acceptance of the idea: More than half the parents said they would loan money interest-free and only 38 per cent would expect it to be paid back.

Year 7 is a crucial stage in education with students going through major physical, social and emotional changes. “Students need to be treated differently at the intermediate age,” says ACG Strathallan Year 7 and 8 dean, Clinton Thomas.

“They must be nurtured, as they’re still young, yet challenged academically to avoid losing interest.” Providing the right support through the change and development is key, Mr Thomas says. “At ACG Strathallan, we hold regular tutor classes for students in Years 7 and 8 to discuss things like peer support, organisation, and preparing for exams; we run camps to help grow supportive social networks; and we ensure our students have access to me, their dean, or the school counsellor when necessary,” he explains.

Visit us at our open day between 9am - 11am on Tuesday, 25 June.
