If you live near Sturges Road and this is your dog or know who’s dog it is, you need to come get it and secure your fencing. It gets out a lot, running on the road, chasing kids on scooters and terrifying cats. Unsure if it’s friendly but
I can’t get close enough to get a better pic or read the collar. Poor pup is gonna get hurt at this rate, people speed along this road.

Are class sizes too big these days?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

At the first-ever Big Gay Out, a small stage was set up for performances from local bands and drag queens, and while the smell of a sausage sizzle wafted through the air attendees played games like “toss the handbag” and tug of war, along with running races in stilettos.

Kevin Dunseath, better known by his drag persona The Outrageous Miss Ribena, was emceeing that event and said he had “no idea” so many years later it would be going strong and attracting crowds in the thousands.

Dogs were born to be human's soulmates, but thousands of humans chain them 24/7. They are eating, sleeping, defecating, urinating, and walking in the same circle for years. Most of them have no shelter, starving, rotting alive and dying on the chain in unthinkable pain 💔
