A ratio of 1 teacher for 23 students applies for year 11 students, however support staff can be counted as teachers so the reality is that class sizes can be much higher.
What do you think are the ideal sizes for classrooms?

The Predator Free Hauraki Coromandel Community Trust supports 100+ conservation and backyard-trapping groups. Current projects include kiwi protection, trap-building, bringing national experts in for training workshops, and a field support team helping the local groups with track cutting and, currently, storm recovery.
The newly established Fund for Nature – Hauraki Coromandel has been established by the Trust with Momentum Waikato to provide sustainable and secure funding for this critical work into the future.
“Our partnership with Momentum Waikato is about providing a way for people everywhere to leave a legacy that supports the conservation work of Hauraki and Coromandel communities,” says the Trust's CE Jude Hooson.
“There are a lot of people who have been committed to conservation here for decades, and there are some leading conservation experts living locally, and they’re all concerned about who is going to continue to do the mahi.
“So, we’re not thinking small, we want to build a significant Fund for Nature,” says Jude.

Our Skin Smoothie, it's "rude" to call it a moisturiser. It is packed with essential oils & herbs all designed to aid in natural healing of the skin. Incredible on normal skin it hydrates & retexturises. An absolute most have for dry damaged skin. Eczema, dermatitis etc.
Mango Butter Sunscreen. In a base on mango butter with calendula & active manuka honey to aid in natural healing of the skin while. We use zinc oxide as the block with an emulsifier so it absorbs clear into the skin. The big question is. Is it a moisturiser with a sunscreen or a sunscreen that moisturisers!
Just some of the incredible range we proudly call Savvy Touch

Pi, also known by the Greek letter “π,” is a constant value used in math that represents the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter, which is just about 3.14….15…9265359… (and so on). Not only that, but the fourteenth of March is also Albert Einstein’s birthday, so all together it’s nothing short of a mathematician’s delight.
