Arrowsmith program presentation this Thursday

Yanina from Glendowie

Are you or your kids struggling with dyslexia, dyspraxia, auditory processing issues or other learning difficulties? If so, you may be interested in attending the Arrowsmith program presentation happening this Thursday 11th of August in St Heliers. Our son has attended this program for a few years now and we have seen very significant improvements in his learning abilities.

More information from the event website:

WOULD YOU LIKE TO IMPROVE YOUR BRAIN'S ABILITY TO LEARN SO YOU CAN THINK BETTER AND REMEMBER MORE?

Pip Block, Principal of A1 Student School, is hosting an information evening for the Arrowsmith Program at 7pm on Thursday 11th August 2022 aimed at students who are struggling at school, their parents, SENCOs and teachers who would like to learn more.
A1 Student supports parents and mainstream schools wishing to help students aged from seven to adult improve their learning including those with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, Auditory Processing weakness, Working Memory weakness, ADHD or mild ASD and our individual approach addresses the root cause of the learning challenge and students experience success quickly and permanently so that once benchmarks are reached, the student returns to mainstream classes as independent learners.
Although we are best known for our intervention programs, we also help mainstream college students increase their memory and processing resulting in much better grades with our after-school program, Springboard to NCEA™
Seating is limited so reserve your tickets and find out how we can help you achieve more.

Thu., 11 August 2022
7:00 pm – 8:30 pm NZST

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
