Schooling in Aotea
Hi
We've been checking up on where the Ministry of Education is up to with creating a plan to make sure there are enough primary school spaces for kids in and around Aotea. We know it's a growing concern for a lot families, and will continue to be so as Transmission Gully gets up and running.
We're writing an article and we'd like to include the thoughts from people in the area. So what do you think? What's the best solution here? Build more schools? Where? Tighten up zoning to stop kids from outside the area from coming over?
*Please put an NFP with your post if you'd rather your thoughts weren't possibly shared in a news story!*
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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
