Primary, secondary and kindergarten teachers are striking this week as they look for a pay offer that meets inflation at 7.2% and makes concessions around staffing issues - in particular, student to teacher ratios.

What do you think are the ideal sizes for classrooms?

Wildbunch vs Outlaw 71

This is the first of many killer match ups for Marsh Motorsport Mayhem at Masterton. Dean Scott leads off for the Wildbunch team in the stout Chevy S10 Ute. Ross Brown will be driving in the super consistent and fast FED. Having just run 7.00, Rosco will be right there and this race will be a game of inches.

Each match up announced will be the ‘best of three’ across the day, unless one of the lads breaks with a point scored for their team for each win.
