Teaching that changes us all

The Team from Ministry of Education

All over the country, schools, kura and early learning services are getting ready to share their world changing work by entering the Prime Minister’s Education Excellence Awards.

The Awards celebrate the great things teachers achieve for learners, their whānau, our communities and even the whole country. And because entering means sharing their achievements, other teachers can follow in their footsteps.

Be inspired by what teams at schools, kura and early learning services are doing for our children and young people – watch the videos now.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
