Poll: Well done, Corinna School!

Jared Nicoll Reporter from Kapi-Mana News

Staff at Corinna School might feel a little less weight on their shoulders with a little more in their pocket.
The decile one primary school in Waitangirua has become the first in the country to provide all its staff - including the caretaker, cleaners and teacher aides - with a living wage of at least $20.55 an hour.

Do you think more schools could try being a bit more creative with their budgets to introduce a living wage?
