Under the draft Education Amendment Bill, decile 1-7 state and state-integrated schools can opt to receive a payment of $150 per student, per year if they agree not to ask parents or caregivers for donations.
But as of last week, with just over a month to go until boards of trustees need to register, only 471 out of 1749 schools had told the Ministry of Education that they intend to sign up to the initiative.
In Canterbury, Shirley Boys' High School has rejected the discretionary grants, with headmaster John Laurenson saying its co-curriculum programme "would have to cease" if it took up the Government's offer.
Please note the dates for the RANGIORA SUNDAY MARKET From October 2019 to March 2020. To book a stall please email Arthur at sir.arthur@xnet .co.nz or phone Rangiora 03 745 91 48.

We live in an awesome district which is under pressure to deliver services to a growing population. Clean water, well maintained reserves, maintaining roads and footpaths, rubbish collection etc
Rates are set to increase by 4.3% over the next 10 years...meaning if you are paying $3500 this year in 2029 you will be paying over $5000.. is this affordable.
We need staff to be more accountable for spending... in the last 3 financial years Council departments have been over budget by $32.8 million.
We need a district that is vibrant and well promoted to encourage businesses to grow and flourish and employ more locals.

As the breath slows so does our thinking and as the practice deepens we may become familiar with a rare state of consciousness.

Simon Bridges says "The reality is if you're not in work, education or training, you're going to be languishing in a dole queue, and the evidence is potentially for a long time". Do you agree with this policy? Should parents be fined?
