Do you have design skills, or know someone who does, who can spare just a few hours during the next couple of months to assist this project? We might be able to pay a few $$$$s, but not a market rate. A recent graduate looking for opportunities to add to their portfolio could help us. The project relies entirely on voluntary effort.

Do you support the teachers' strike?

Hi neighbours,

Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country. They aim to gain attention for better pay, conditions and incentives to attract new teachers. Although about 30,000 people in the profession are involved in the strike, not everyone agrees with it.

So, what are your thoughts on the strike? Do you think teachers deserve better pay? Or should they have stayed around the negotiating table for longer? Are you a teacher or parent with views on the topic? Let us know in the replies!
