Do you know a teacher who's helped a family in need?
Hi neighbours. Stuff is writing a story about teachers buying essentials for students in need. There's the stuff you'd expect, like food and pens, but then some have bought clothes for a whole family whose house had burnt down, paid for car repairs and donated furniture etc.
Has your family or a family you know been helped out by a school, perhaps in a time of crisis? Email education reporter josephine.franks@stuff.co.nz if you'd be willing to share your story. Jos would love to hear from you. Put NFP in your post if it is not for publication.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
