A limited statutory manager is working with the Mangakōtukutuku College board

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Parents can expect to see changes at Mangakōtukutuku College as a government-appointed helper gets to work.

That’s the message from limited statutory manager Dr Shane Edwards, who has taken over several responsibilities of the Hamilton school’s board.

According to one parent, communication had already improved since a list of behavioural issues, including a lunchtime brawl, put the newly merged school under the spotlight.

new EarthDiverse course: “The History of Love” with Peter Dornauf

todd from EarthDiverse

EarthDiverse is pleased to announce a new short History/Philosophy course entitled “The History of Love” beginning on Wed 5 June (11:00am-1:00pm) and lasting for 3 consecutive weekly sessions in the same time slot.

Who would have thought that such a universal part of the human condition had a history, one that exhibits huge shifts and changes in patterns of conduct? This series of three consecutive weekly discussions with local Author/Artist/Philosopher Peter Dornauf tracks that changeable history via art, artifact, literary record, music, social revolution and historical example. It traces the origins, development and final resting place of that ephemeral and eternal phenomenon we call Love.

Come and spend your winter Wednesday mornings discussing the History of Love with new friends and and a cuppa tea/coffee at the EarthDiverse Centre in the Hamilton CBD! Or consider joining in the discussions on-line via Zoom.
