Bullying in our schools
Recent research into the experiences of 15 year old students internationally has been revealed through the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA 2015) report. New Zealand does not do well at all: second to last among 51 countries. Currently 19 schools in NZ have adopted the KiVa anti-bullying approach and their data looks very promising, just as it has already shown in Finland and other countries. Finnish nationwide data shows bullying rates declining each year since the start of their KiVa implementation eight years ago.

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)
