Poll: Are you pleased with this Waikato med school news?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

City leaders are hailing a significant milestone in the region’s quest to establish the country’s third medical school in Waikato.

The Government at the weekend gave the project a green light when it announced that an initial cost-benefit analysis to establish a third medical school based at the University of Waikato had been completed and had been found to provide confidence for the project to progress to a full business case.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
