Nayland College Senior Boys Basketball off to National Championships!
Having not been given much of a chance to even make it out of their pool at the recent South Island Secondary Schools Basketball Championships, with a top 6 finish, the Nayland College Senior A Boys Basketball team have qualified for The National Championship to be held in Palmerston North later this month
This awesome team of young men now need to raise over $10,000 in less than 3 weeks to attend this tournament - a pretty tall order.
This is a team of 12 incredibly hard working, motivated young men (aged 15 - 18 yrs old), who should all feel incredibly proud of the mahi they've put in, the superb sportsmanship they have demonstrated throughout the season and the awesome team culture they have.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.7% ... It is complicated
