Poll: Would you give acro a go?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Inside the Raglan Town Hall a crowd of people are sweating, grinning, joyously laughing - and in some cases grimacing - as they lift each other’s bodies up above themselves.

It’s an activity that calls for well-developed muscles, a finely-attuned sense of balance, and an innate understanding of how the person you are with is feeling.

Would you give acro a go? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

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.
