Naenae Intermediate students shine in problem solving
A team of four students from Naenae Intermediate School have performed well enough to be invited to attend the National Finals of Future Problem Solving. Ryan Fraser (12), Lucie Wright (12), Kerryn McAndrews (13), and Thanvi Thirumarban (12) are excited to have this opportunity to spend a weekend exercising their brain cells to compete with the best from around NZ.
Last year, students who had been through the programme at Naenae Intermediate during 2013 and 2014 were school heads or deputy heads at Naenae College, Taita College and Hutt Valley High School. The Future Problem Solving Programme International is a prestigious programme, established by Dr Paul Torrance, a world leader in the study of creativity and creative problem solving.
Educators and researchers from around the world hold the programme in high regard.

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!
