NZEI ECE Pay Equity Campaign
Any ECE teachers or workers in the area? We NEED your stories for NZEI’s ECE pay equity campaign!
As you probably already know, despite being some of the most important people in young children’s lives, early childhood teachers and workers are some of the lowest paid people in NZ. We nurture children’s learning at the most crucial time in their education, yet we are undervalued and underpaid, just because our work has historically been done by women.
The movement for pay equity is about righting this wrong. Here is a link to a video that provides a useful overview of what is meant by ‘pay equity’ and what the campaign will involve:
youtu.be...
We’re collecting evidence for our claim at the moment and we need your stories.
Teacher’s, just a couple of sentences about why you think pay equity is important, what a difference it would make to you, and what you love about working in ECE, is all that’s needed.
And supporters, what difference have early childhood teachers made in the lives of you and your children. Why do you think they deserve pay equity?
Share your stories in the comments or PM me and I’ll forward them to NZEI. Alternatively, email them directly to Rebecca Matthews-Heron, part of NZEI’s Pay Equity Team at: rebecca.matthews-heron@nzei.org.nz. Remember, every voice counts. We can’t do this unless we band together.
And if you haven’t already, PLEASE join us in making this historic claim for pay equity and sign up to the campaign: campaigns.nzei.org.nz....
Poll: Does the building consent process need to change?
We definitely need homes that are fit to live in but there are often frustrations when it comes to getting consent to modify your own home.

Original Art on Baseball Caps / Hats
Hello everyone,
I am presenting a limited release of hand-painted artwork on Baseball Caps. There will only be 29 caps in this range. For now, please do have a look at the first seven Caps attached. I will post more in the future as I work on them.
Price per piece = $55.00.
Fabric look/feel is suede-like (not real suede). It is a really nice quality cap. You can zoom out each photo to view better.
Adjustable backstrap with metal clasp.
NOTE: Some Caps have more than one photo to give you views from different sides (I can send you more photos if required).
Mother's Day is just two weeks away. This would make a really memorable yet practical gift for that special person. OR...get it for yourself! Just know that when you are wearing it to brunch, on your walks or at tennis/golf, YOU are the only person in the world with this original piece of wearable art ☺️.
Pickup in Remuera or happy to courier:
P&p $16.00 (with signature)
Rural addresses +$5.50.
If you want it sent overseas, I am happy to quote.
For the remaining Caps that I will be painting, if you have any suggestions that you would like to see, or if you would like to order a cap with a particular bird/flower et , I am happy to consider. No portraits please! That would be too hard on fabric 😅.
Have a lovely weekend,
Connie.
PS. I apologise for the low photo resolution as I had to resize them down to be able to post.
