Avondale College is believed to be the first school in New Zealand to teach the Cambridge International law syllabus.

Teacher Farhanah Jeewa said the AS and A level law syllabus from Cambridge is ideal for students interested in reading law at university.

"We study the English legal system, which is similar to the New Zealand system," she said.

Introducing the syllabus this year stemmed from Jeewa's legal background.

Students at the Auckland secondary school are learning how laws are made, interpreted and adapted.

They love taking part in the mock trials, she said.

"We complete two different trials and students get to see the role of each person within the legal system.

"It is an enjoyable experience to see them become much more confident in the second trial.”

The government has initiated a review into whether New Zealanders pay too much at the supermarket checkouts.

The Commerce Commission plans to follow a similar approach to that of their investigation into the price of petrol and diesel for land transport, which cost the taxpayer an estimated $2.5 million dollars. Labour promised an investigation into food prices on the election campaign and if unfair practices are found when the Commission's report is released in late 2021, necessary changes will be made.

Do you notice price differences between supermarket chains?
