Poll: Well done, Corinna School!
Staff at Corinna School might feel a little less weight on their shoulders with a little more in their pocket.
The decile one primary school in Waitangirua has become the first in the country to provide all its staff - including the caretaker, cleaners and teacher aides - with a living wage of at least $20.55 an hour.
Do you think more schools could try being a bit more creative with their budgets to introduce a living wage?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
