Enough is enough. Having worked as a teacher in Early childhood I have an idea of the commitment, drive and energy that is required to be an optimal teacher, and realise that in the schools system it is an extremely demanding role, at times and does require 100% involvement.
I also note that unlike the ECE, all school teachers get at least 10-12 weeks paid holiday.
At this point, I can feel the arrows getting ready to be drawn lol
I also note that the teachers have successfully won in 2019 a $272 million deal, not including the 1.2 billion over four years.
I also note, that before online teaching was organised and rolled out, and also after this, teachers managed to have some time not working, at home.
At the moment, my grandchildren and hundreds of children are once again being denied THEIR rights, which is, simply to gain an education that is on going and free of disruption
All I ask is that teachers desist their strike action, put our children FIRST and think of the millions of other jobs that are significantly lower paid, just as worthwhile, without 12 weeks holiday and greater hours.
In this time of huge strife in terms of the effects of climate change, ie the devastation caused by the recent storms, our country needs to work together, and support each other.

June is upon us, so it's well and truly time to hunker down for the colder temperatures. For some across Aotearoa, this just means a second duvet on the bed. And for others, it's defrosting your car windscreen daily and bringing out the heaters.

You may find them under a brick or a damp object. You may have felt disgusted and wondered why they exist in nature. Well, let me tell you, the oniscidae, better known as cochineal, is a subgroup of isopod crustaceans whose function is to remove harmful heavy metals from the earth such as mercury, cadmium and lead. They contribute to the cleansing of soil and groundwater to reaffirm the wisdom of nature. Do not damage them or spray pesticides!

Which is why the new Vision Research Foundation New Zealand (VRF) has been established – to move beyond the safe and incremental, to attract the funding and knowledge needed to make life-changing discoveries, and to unlock the potential medical talent shut out by inequity.
Professor Helen Danesh-Meyer founded the Foundation as a charitable trust in 2022 and is now its Scientific Director.
It was established with the support of a generous philanthropist and has since started to attract direct donations and bequests. Now the VRF has set up a philanthropic investment fund at Momentum Waikato, which is open for public donations from anywhere.
“We are at a time when technology is developing faster than most research ideas,” says Helen.
“The Vision Research Foundation is therefore aimed at using those rapidly developing technological advances to disrupt traditional modes of eye care and research.
“Our philosophy is that by challenging established paradigms we can make transformative discoveries in vision science."

Then, he was invited to join a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme, which introduced him to the outdoors.
After the wilderness adventure, Sam became more confident and self-assured, and his teachers noticed a positive change in his sociability and willingness to ask questions in class.
He developed a "give-it-a-go" attitude. Inspired by his newfound passion for the outdoors, Sam plans to join the New Zealand Defence Force after finishing school.

Cambridge philanthropists John and Nicola Kenel see this knowledge gap as a serious issue for the wellbeing of individuals, families, communities and the nation, so last year they set up the ‘Waikato Financial Literacy Fund’ at Momentum Waikato.
You're invited to also support this initiative that aims to tackle this issue by funding financial literacy courses and tools for young people.
