It will be a fun informative evening with dinner provided and guest performances by TJ Taotua and the PASS music students. Pacific Advance Senior School is the first Pasifika Partnership School in New Zealand providing Year 11, 12 and 13 education. Based in Otahuhu, Auckland, PASS is a new collaboration between the Ministry of Education and the Pacific Peoples Advancement Trust (PPAT), a not-for-profit charitable trust lead by Pasifika community leaders Michael Jones and Hamish Crooks.
We look forward to seeing you there for a great evening.

We’re from the Institute of Criminology, Victoria University of Wellington. This research aims to understand our growing reliance on private security for protection against burglary and other crime and what this can tell us about perceptions of crime and policing and the changing ways we manage the risks of crime.
Neighbourly was chosen because of the keen interest of its members in ‘Crime and Safety’ and we hope this will translate into lots of Neighbourly members taking part and making a contribution. For much more detail about the project please read the PDF. We really appreciate your participation, thank-you.

We are desperately hoping that as our amazing supporters, you can help us spread the word to anyone who may fit the bill.
If you know someone who has great customer service skills, experience leading a team and has a great sense of enthusiasm to rally the troops for a great cause - then we NEED THEM!
We are struggling without this position being filled which is putting a huge strain and resource and means we can't reach our full op shop potential for the animals.
In short, we need you and our animals need you, so lets find someone who can help a team in need!
IF you think you can help us, or know someone that can, please apply by sending your CV and Cover letter to Emma Starr at emma.starr@spca.org.nz by the 28th September.
Thanks guys!
