Hi - I know a young French guy, who arrived before the Covid outbreak on a working holiday. He's been unable to return because of the lockdown and is getting really desperate for funds now he's stuck in NZ without any govt. assistance.

He's done some work for me and is a fantastic and smart worker who is interested in anything: labouring, supermarket stocking, etc. He's a great guy, fully fit and well, and I highly recommend him but he's stranded with no income. Just hoping someone can help him get though a very difficult time. He's valid to work till Feb 2021. Feel free to call me: 021 784557.

Thank you.

The girls gave some awesome feedback to Head Girl Leila and Deputy head Girl Tuia – missing friends was one of the biggest negatives, but the positive was relief knowing we will see our friends again when this is over and that they are safe at home. And well done to Shenaya who gave us a great live performance on the guitar.
