Another good week of Remote Learning at Marsden
Just about the end of another a hugely productive week of remote learning at Marsden, from Preschool to Year 13! A big focus has been on finding a balance between screen-based and non screen-based learning activities, and on keeping connections and relationships thriving through form time and student-led care groups. We are loving the new features of Google Meets which give lots of different possibilities for interactive and creative online lessons. Thanks Marsden whānau for your positive feedback re our Remote Learning programmes, we will keep it up as long as we need to!! Staff and teachers are available to support you, and a huge shout out to our seniors who are keeping the whole school connected with their fun videos, challenges and running their care groups.
Storm cleanup
Hope everyone’s doing okay after the storm.
I’ve got some availability next week if anyone needs help with priority cleanup. I’ve got a pole pruner and chainsaw. Just noting I’m not an arborist.
Call 021308938 or message me.
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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
