Avondale College is believed to be the first school in New Zealand to teach the Cambridge International law syllabus.

Teacher Farhanah Jeewa said the AS and A level law syllabus from Cambridge is ideal for students interested in reading law at university.

"We study the English legal system, which is similar to the New Zealand system," she said.

Introducing the syllabus this year stemmed from Jeewa's legal background.

Students at the Auckland secondary school are learning how laws are made, interpreted and adapted.

They love taking part in the mock trials, she said.

"We complete two different trials and students get to see the role of each person within the legal system.

"It is an enjoyable experience to see them become much more confident in the second trial.”

Home Security Checklist

Philip from Exceed we fix windows & doors

But leaving your home open may increase the risk of break-ins and create an easy way for intruders to gain entry into your home.

Exceed is here to help you with 10 top tips to improve your home security:

1 - Use key-operated locks on doors and windows – and don’t hide spare keys under doormats or in obvious places for burglars to find them easily

2 - Install security screens on all doors to keep your family safe

3 - Install window security stays to increase security, natural safe ventilation and prevent children falling from high windows

4 - Install hinge bolts to stop doors from being lifted out of their frames

5 - Upgrade beads and rubbers to hold any glass in place

6 - Install digital deadlocks so you no longer need to remember your keys when you leave your home and grant short term access to friends or Airbnb guests

7 - If you have an alarm system, make sure it is working properly

8 - Keep plants trimmed around doors and windows and install sensor lights or CCTV cameras

9 - Don’t leave valuable items like keys out in easy view for opportunistic thieves

10 - If you’re going away on holidays, make your home look occupied – leave the TV or radio playing, set lights to come on with a timer and ask a neighbour to collect your mail and take care of bins

Being aware of potential security risks and taking action early is the best way to keep your home and loved ones safe.
