Poll: Will you go to a Hamilton Arts Festival event?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Reports of the death of art in Hamilton have been greatly exaggerated - if ticket sales for the Hamilton Arts Festival are any indication.

Principal defends $17k overseas trip as research

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Hamilton principal whose $17,000 trip to Hawaii and Alaska was highlighted in an report on questionable school spending says he was doing doctoral work on how streaming affects students.

Fairfield College principal Richard Crawford is defending the trip, saying it was his first sabbatical in his 19-year career as a principal and contributed to learning he’d be applying to both his school, and potentially others, through his research.
