1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives. When they do, let’s make sure they don’t have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.

This month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (21 - 27 September).

However you choose to take part, make sure to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

Zero tolerance on speeding drivers all year round as Kiwi cops get tough on motorists

Hi neighbours,

Do you sometimes drive a few kms over the speed limit? Road police have scrapped their speed buffer on Kiwi roads in favour of a no tolerance approach.

All motorists edging over the limit at any time of the year can now expect to be pulled over and possibly fined, national road policing manager Acting Superintendent Gini Welch confirmed on Friday.

It brings an end to a long-standing convention that law enforcement would let minor speeding breaches slide.


“We don’t have a threshold,” Welch told Stuff, “we don’t have anything other than the speed limit.

Previously, besides zero tolerance long weekends, it was understood police could exercise discretion up to 10kmh over the speed limit.

We know things are tough for a lot of teenagers studying for NCEA.
During the first lock down we were able to offer our revision and learning courses in NCEA Accounting for free to schools. Sadly we cannot continue that - but we have discounted this heavily to help teenagers learn, revise and achieve great outcomes in NCEA Accounting.


So what is eStudee .....

eStudee is an online interactive site that is designed for NCEA Accounting standards. The purpose of the site is to create innovate interactive e-learning activities accessible 24/7 on any internet enabled device that build the confidence and knowledge for students preparing for NCEA Accounting. Its fun, and we have really enjoyed creating it and seeing student results improve.


We have got past NCEA papers that are interactive - your teen submits their answers and get instant feedback on whether they are right or wrong. If they have not got their answer right then they get the feedback they need to improve their understanding and get the right answer.



For those teens that are anxious about NCEA Accounting - particularly this year - it just makes sense! Level 1 Courses are priced at $7.00 + gst, Level 2 Courses $8.00 + gst and our Level 3 Course is $9.00 + gst.


So go to www.estudee.co.nz... create an account (that is free) and check out one of our courses - it won't break the bank and your teen will thank you for it.
