Avondale College brings in Cambridge law
Avondale College is believed to be the first school in New Zealand to teach the Cambridge International law syllabus.
Teacher Farhanah Jeewa said the AS and A level law syllabus from Cambridge is ideal for students interested in reading law at university.
"We study the English legal system, which is similar to the New Zealand system," she said.
Introducing the syllabus this year stemmed from Jeewa's legal background.
Students at the Auckland secondary school are learning how laws are made, interpreted and adapted.
They love taking part in the mock trials, she said.
"We complete two different trials and students get to see the role of each person within the legal system.
"It is an enjoyable experience to see them become much more confident in the second trial.”

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Panasonic TV leaving NZ from 1st April 2026
❤️ Celebrating Panasonic TVs
For so many Kiwi homes, Panasonic wasn’t just a TV brand — it was a trusted part of the lounge. From the legendary plasma days to their beautiful OLEDs, Panasonic always delivered picture quality that just felt right.
Cinematic colour, rock‑solid reliability, and that classic Panasonic build quality… it’s no wonder so many of us still swear by them.
Even as Panasonic steps back from the NZ TV market, their legacy lives on in thousands of homes across the country. Those TVs will keep going strong for years — because that’s what Panasonic does best.
Here’s to a brand that set the standard for what a great TV should be. ❤️📺
