What do you think about the proposed changes to NCEA?

Elesha Gordon Reporter from Taranaki Daily News

Hi neighbours! The Government has announced plans to reform NCEA by 2025, with more focus on numeracy and literacy, and 50 per cent internal exams and 50 per cent external. Is it a fair way to measure students?

Marlborough Girls' College principal Mary-Jeanne Lynch said a "one size fits all" overhaul of assessments was a "broad brush approach" that would not work for everyone. Do you think this would help any students you know? Let us know by commenting below! Read more here.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
