Vintage Dutch “Hindeloopen” hand painted wall clock.

Julie from Karori

This clock, which I guess dates from the fifties, always worked perfectly until I hung it in another room.

It needs to be completely level and as my walls are old kauri sarking that seems to be hard to achieve. It may also need a bit of a clean. The clock is hand painted which originated in a Dutch village called Hindeloopen. It works by pulling up the brass weights . That is why the clock should be positioned fairly high on the wall. If you want to make an offer , please PM or TEXT me on 0272484333 ( I don’t expect a large amount of money)😂

Primary, secondary and kindergarten teachers are striking this week as they look for a pay offer that meets inflation at 7.2% and makes concessions around staffing issues - in particular, student to teacher ratios.

A ratio of 1 teacher for 23 students applies for year 11 students, however support staff can be counted as teachers so the reality is that class sizes can be much higher.
What do you think are the ideal sizes for classrooms?
