Are class sizes too big these days?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

A ratio of 1 teacher for 23 students applies for year 11 students, however … View more
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.

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?

Preserving and enhancing biodiversity and conservation lands across Hauraki and Coromandel is a long-term project requiring vision, perseverance, and resilient funding.

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.

Wallpaper verses painting

Adam from Adam's Painting

Wallpapering is more expensive than painting, at a cost of at least $55 a roll for a reasonable quality vinyl, compared to around $200 for 10 litres of top coat.

Wallpapering is more expensive than painting, at a cost of at least $55 a roll for a reasonable quality vinyl, compared to around $200 for 10 litres of top coat.
If wallpaper is damaged by careless tenants or family members, it's more of a challenge to repair compared to quickly touching up paint damage. .
But wallpaper is cleaner to work with, you don't have to apply second coats and it does look great. But in the end, as with most decorating decisions, the choice is yours...
Here's a couple of before and after pictures of a rental property in Melville. We stripped, sanded and repapered the lounge walls all ready for the new tenants. It was a nice change from our usual painting process!

Here is what Savvy Touch says about themselves.
We pride ourselves in using the best native ingredients from New Zealand and around the world, our aim is to always be 100% natural. But we will not compromise on performance. if needed we use "preservatives", but again our aim is to use the "cleanest" & most effective. The majority are plant based (coconut) preservatives.
Rocket Fuel our No1 product now becoming world famous a 100% natural synergistic blend designed to support a clear & healthy respiratory system in the head & chest a must have for breathing issues, incredible for athletes, breathe better perform better breathe better recover faster! #3drops #3secs #breathe
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
