Poll: Should learning about climate change be part of the school curriculum?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.

Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.

Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.

Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.

Some experts say that has to change. It is such an existential threat that not to make it a requirement to teach children about climate change is doing them a great disservice, they say.

Every respect and full admiration to Marie Lee, Clairvoyant/Medium who achieved an evening I’ve never seen done before! Marie had her inaugural show on Wednesday 26th June in Warkworth. Her decision from day one was to limit attendee numbers and do all she could to connect with everyone who attended. She did it, with her beautiful style, her infectious humour and her heart full of love. Her passion to help is 2nd to none. With less than 5 minutes to connect with each person she did an amazing job! And she is doing it again on Tuesday 23rd July in Warkworth. Tickets only $35 each.
Marie is also coming to Warkworth for 2 additional days, 13th and 16th July to do full, 45 minute, one on one readings, for those that would like to book to see her. Enquire re; cost, location etc.
If you would like to enquire about the next show and/or book a one on one meeting with Marie please call or text 027 239 9182.
Spaces are limited.

Price: $35

The Groves is a collection of simple buildings, designed well.

Within the community are 3 different types of homes catering to investors, families and young professionals. Each terraced home comes with a private back yard and each home comes with car parking and a private outdoor, green space, which flows out from the living room.

The forms and materials used to create The Groves hark back to the original West Auckland horticultural land uses. Inspired by glasshouses and simple farm buildings, you can see this reflected in the roof forms and materials used.

Matvin has a long history of building commercial developments, which has allowed us to use more robust and permanent materials in each home.
