We love seeing our apprentices making waves in the industry.
Wade Peek was recently named Plastics Apprentice of the Year, is definitely one to watch. With two qualifications under his belt, he’s been earmarked as a future plastics industry leader.

He hopes to one day start his own manufacturing business and says: "I really want to pass on what I have learnt to support apprentices in their training. I also want to be able to teach people outside of the plastics industry about what we do, as I truly believe we can't solve any of the really important environmental issues that surround plastic unless as many people as possible understand it."

The previous Government closed all Community Police outlets and centralized the system. The present Government came into power saying they will open up the community police outlets. The reason for escalating violence and crime in Hamilton is closed community police outlets and a shortage of frontline police officers. I understand as per notification received that a second Community Safety meeting had been organized at 7.00 pm on Tuesday 17th August 2021 at Endeavour School, 86 Endeavour Avenue, Flagstaff, Hamilton.
