Free reading and writing support for teens
Free lessons by phone or Skype by national charity the Rural Youth and Adult Literacy Trust: 1 in 10 New Zealanders lack the literacy skills they need to fully participate in society. Literacy changes lives.
"As children transition from primary to secondary school, their levels of literacy engagement and mental wellbeing both decline and can continue on a downward path.
For some, often those with complex lives, this means they leave school without the literacy skills needed for everyday life. This impacts on their health, wellbeing, employment prospects and ability to participate fully in society.
Low literacy is almost always accompanied by a great deal of shame and fear that the person will be judged as dumb. This can be almost crippling.
Our Trust provides FREE one-on-one, tailored literacy tuition, by phone or Skype to rural and isolated teenagers and adults. We also support high school students and those in training or employment who want to improve their reading and writing.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
Full refund ‘common sense’ in two-decade rates debacle
The law blocking a full refund for a Hamilton woman who was overcharged rates for 21 years is “illogical,” a city councillor says.
Sue Moroney was investigating the possibility of a refund to Progressive Pilates owner Sonia Lidington, who says the council still owes her thousands of dollars.
