Naenae Intermediate students shine in problem solving
A team of four students from Naenae Intermediate School have performed well enough to be invited to attend the National Finals of Future Problem Solving. Ryan Fraser (12), Lucie Wright (12), Kerryn McAndrews (13), and Thanvi Thirumarban (12) are excited to have this opportunity to spend a weekend exercising their brain cells to compete with the best from around NZ.
Last year, students who had been through the programme at Naenae Intermediate during 2013 and 2014 were school heads or deputy heads at Naenae College, Taita College and Hutt Valley High School. The Future Problem Solving Programme International is a prestigious programme, established by Dr Paul Torrance, a world leader in the study of creativity and creative problem solving.
Educators and researchers from around the world hold the programme in high regard.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
