Poll: Should schools have generic uniforms?

Josephine Franks Reporter from Central Leader

Kia ora neighbours,

It’s the school holidays, which means many parents will be assessing whether they need to re-stock on uniform, or if that jersey can last another term.

Do you think schools should have to offer generic uniforms rather than expensive branded items?

Kia ora neighbours,

It’s the school holidays, which means many parents will be assessing whether they need to re-stock on uniform, or if that jersey can last another term.

Do you think schools should have to offer generic uniforms rather than expensive branded items?

Wales has passed a new law requiring schools to consider ways of keeping costs down - for example, stipulating basic colours but not styles so items can be bought from multiple outlets, or only having the logo on one item.

Do you think our Government should follow suit to help keep costs down for parents?

Poetry and Prose Group on Neighbourly...your free neighbourly group...

Andrea from Eden Terrace

The Autonomy Of Love

Love flies about upon the wind
sometimes settling upon a branch
even just for a fleeting moment
it showers its object with love

No shape or form makes it particular

The Autonomy Of Love

Love flies about upon the wind
sometimes settling upon a branch
even just for a fleeting moment
it showers its object with love

No shape or form makes it particular
as long as there is cohesion
the colour doesn't give a meaning
and neither does the season

For love is free, a rainbow blast
to shower affections of one's own freedom
just like the prisms it gives off
so share in the giving before you keep them.

We are making headway with the NEST: Phase One (of 3) of the architects’ reports has been completed and now we need to pay various engineers (fire, ventilation etc) to write their reports. The whole lot will then be put together by our amazing resource consent experts at Berry Simons Environmental Law (who are acting for the NEST pro bono!) and submitted to the Council.

Our financials are nearly completed, thanks to our hard-working Trustee Chris Lynch and his wonderful and dedicated team at Lynch & Associates (Accountants) and so we are about to start our PR and fundraising in earnest. We have New Zealander of the Year Finalist 2018, Lisa King on board as a Trustee, which is super exciting as Lisa has a proven track record of expertise in marketing and entrepreneurship – not to mention a huge and kind heart.

Thanks to the generous support of Te Awheronui Trust, we are able to pay the architects and have some left over for some of the reports but not all of them.

We have received a generous donation of $70k from the Lion Foundation but that is set aside for the soft fit-out. We have received generous and overwhelming donations from suppliers all over Auckland.

Things are moving along and we are excited. But right now we need these reports completed.

We are so close to making a huge difference. Please help us to get there!
