We celebrate your child’s maths and English achievements, big and small. Tutoring at NumberWorks’nWords is based on success. Each child feels more confident about themselves as a learner when they experience success. Tutors provide positive interaction, certificates are awarded and centre-wide celebration is given when students move up a level. You may have been in the centre and heard the clapping and cheering when this happens. It’s so rewarding to see the smiles on the children’s faces and how proud they are of their achievements.

Item 5.5 please read Working Group recommendation for Māori participation in Decision Making page 34.
At this meeting elected Councillors voted yes for new Standing Committee for Council, $150,000.00 budget given to Te Huinga Group (no legal or formal status) and 4 new non-elected maori councillors with full voting rights of elected Councillors. consultation with Hapu or Community?
Te Huinga Group has until September 2020 to hold formal robust Hapu Election Process - there has been no meetings or notifications to Marae, Hapu or whanau regarding the intention of a small group of Hapu Representations called from Te Huinga Committee to WDC MAORI ADVISORY GROUP called "Te Kārearea Strategic Partnership Forum" with seating elected Councillors.
No Hapu or Whanau or Public Consultation. I am still looking for where the $150,000.00 was approved? What is the money going to ne used for? Who provides accountability and transparency now WDC has no Finance Committee? Does WDC Elected Councillors have public liability insurance if they get it wrong?
You need to ask your elected Ward Councillors about it? What is a Standing Order or Standing Committee of Council? It is a legal process.
So why didn't local maori and Hapu in the Whangarei District Area go for a petition to vote for Maori Wards at last local Elections 2019? Remember elected Councillors voted against Maori wards in 2018.
