Almost a quarter of young people say the older generations should help first-home buyers into the property market, a new survey shows.

Westpac NZ polled 1000 people about their opinion on parents assisting their children into their first homes.

It found widespread acceptance of the idea: More than half the parents said they would loan money interest-free and only 38 per cent would expect it to be paid back.

Year 7 is a crucial stage in education with students going through major physical, social and emotional changes. “Students need to be treated differently at the intermediate age,” says ACG Strathallan Year 7 and 8 dean, Clinton Thomas.

“They must be nurtured, as they’re still young, yet challenged academically to avoid losing interest.” Providing the right support through the change and development is key, Mr Thomas says. “At ACG Strathallan, we hold regular tutor classes for students in Years 7 and 8 to discuss things like peer support, organisation, and preparing for exams; we run camps to help grow supportive social networks; and we ensure our students have access to me, their dean, or the school counsellor when necessary,” he explains.

Visit us at our open day between 9am - 11am on Tuesday, 25 June.

Floorball.....Fun, Fast and Easy to Learn :-)

Never heard of Floorball? You may not be alone… This is a relatively new sport in New Zealand.

You may recognise it from school as Unihoc or Indoor Hockey.

Floorball is a team event. It is fast paced with lots of short sprint running and breaks in between. It is fun to play and very easy to learn. If you have played Field Hockey, Tennis, Football or any other ball sport, you will quickly pick up Floorball as well. What is even better is the fact that it is played indoors. Rain or shine…you can play Floorball.

We play twice a week and the 2020 season is starting up this coming Wednesday night 5th February.



Wednesday nights we play from 7:30pm till about 8:45pm and it is for the older teens, youth and adults.

Sunday afternoons we have children and younger teens from age about 6 and upwards playing from 4:00pm until about 5:15pm….

Cost of playing is $2.00 for those aged 17 or younger. Those aged 18 and older pay $5.00 per session.

We have equipment in the form of balls and sticks to play with so all you need is t-shirt, shorts and indoor sports shoes.

If you want to know more about Floorball, please contact us. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Cheers

Ole, Daren & Clint
