Do you think the proposed zone changes for Shirley Boys' and Avonside Girls' are fair?
Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel says she would not have championed selling council land to the Ministry of Education had she known it would "exclude" families from two local high schools.
Echoing public opposition against proposed enrolment zone changes, Dalziel said in-zone suburbs – Shirley, Avonside, Dallington, Edgeware and Richmond – should not be excluded when Avonside Girls' and Shirley Boys' high schools relocate to a new, shared campus on the QEII Park site in 2019.
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)
