Volunteer Tutors wanted for an hour a week at Wesley College
Hi.
Two months ago Wesley College introduced a one on one literacy programme for some of its Yr 9 & Yr 10 pupils.
It is a fun and enjoyable way for people who have a one or two spare hours a week to engage with young folk, make a difference and meet other interesting locals.
You don't have to be worried about being trapped by this commitment. A tutor coordinator (me) will make sure that when you are unable to make it, or away on holiday, another tutor will take your spot so that the pupil doesn't miss out.
You don't need any particular skills or qualifications other than being able to read and a teacher remains in the class at all times while 10 tutors and 10 pupils work through a book and related tasks.
It is incredibly rewarding and makes a real difference.
Please give me a call if you think this might interest you.
Kind regards. Deb Cane 021745493

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.
