Keri Milne-Ihimaera was the principal of Moerewa School for 10 years, where the community was deeply involved in the school - until a statutory intervention by the Ministry of Education, she said.
She said change needed to come from the ground up and be supported by those at the top – not the other way round. Do you agree?
Teen Sharonika Prasad used to be scared, of life, of opportunity. She lacked self-confidence. ‘‘I had a negative mind set in which I had beliefs that I would never be successful at anything, with a very low self-esteem. ‘‘I made excuses because I had no motivation and little confidence and … View moreTeen Sharonika Prasad used to be scared, of life, of opportunity. She lacked self-confidence. ‘‘I had a negative mind set in which I had beliefs that I would never be successful at anything, with a very low self-esteem. ‘‘I made excuses because I had no motivation and little confidence and I let life pass me by even if it was a wonderful opportunity because I was so afraid of the unknown.’’
Not anymore! Prasad, 18, and the youngest in a family of five, is now working as a caregiver while studying a foundation course at NZMA for occupational therapy and has realised she ‘‘could do anything’’. She is the first in her family to go to university. The South Auckland teen has found her potential with the help of our Foundation that aims to transform young Kiwi lives.

Hey neighbours,
Online shopping is getting more popular by the day, but with the convenience of getting parcels delivered to your home comes the danger of potential theft.
Have you ever had an online delivery go missing once it has been delivered?

1970 at 10 years old I was told I would never walk again and tied to the bed to prevent me from getting up and falling on the floor which is what ACC still view me as.

ACC has gone back to this 1970 accident to discriminate and deny my equipment request.
In the early 70s in hospital, I kept escaping the bonds I kept getting off the bed I kept falling over.
But wait there's more I walked I ran I rode bike motorbikes, off-roaders I could not be slowed I have driven in a motorsport event a V 12 Ferrari at 180 mph that's 300 kph and ACC thinks I am just a cripple.
I qualified as an appliance serviceman, an industrial wireman, NZCE TV and video service person I owned and ran one of the biggest telephone repair businesses in Auckland in the 1980s.
I have been in the paper's magazines TVNZ success program, I am not going to accept ACCs vision that I have lived as a house ridden cripple they ACC have a battle ahead of them I know Google I am an SEO experts so we will match ACC and get on the front page of Google for decades to come.
