It is Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) awareness week from 20th to 26th March.

We are a nationwide, but locally based, community organisation. Our volunteers are here to help people to know and understand their rights and obligations, and how to use this information to get the best outcomes. We provide people with the confidence and support they need to take action.

You don’t have to be a Citizen to use us and this week we are celebrating the diversity and multiculturalism within our service. If you would like help in your language, call our freephone number 0800 367 222, or visit your local CAB, and let us know what language speaker you require. Language should not be a barrier to getting the information and advice you need.

It's finally happening! After two previous postponements...

Te Koromiko Swannanoa School is celebrating our 150th!

10:30am Thursday, 6 April 2023.

Although technically our '152nd', we were all keen to have a special event to commemorate the occasion as the last few years with COVID restrictions meant we missed many chances to gather as a community. If you have any connection to our wonderful school - whether currently or from many years ago, as staff, student, family, volunteer or in ANY WAY - we'd love to see you.

The main focus is to provide a free, fun and relaxed atmosphere, hear some wonderful stories from previous times, see all the old photos and offer the opportunity to tour the school to see what has changed over the years.

Please RSVP so we can adequately plan for catering. Register either by following this link forms.gle... visiting the school website www.swannanoa.school.nz..., or scanning the QR code attached.

On behalf of the 150th Committee, we look forward to bringing you a wonderful occasion and hope to see you all there!

Gill Slaughter,
Presiding Member
Te Koromiko Swannanoa School Board

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.

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?
