Are school composite classes a good idea?

Katy Jones Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Many children are taught in classes spanning two year groups at Nelson primary and intermediate schools. Some schools favour students staying with the same teacher for two years. Is this a good system?

Mental Health + Well-Being - September 1st to 30th 🧠

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

Did you know, 1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives? When they do, let’s make sure they never have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

Did you know, 1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives? When they do, let’s make sure they never have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.

Don’t forget, this month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (23 - 29 September) and Mental Health Awareness Day on October 10th.

However you choose to take part, feel free to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

It's movie time in Mapua's Community Hall again coming Sunday, September 8th at 6:30 pm. This time the Packhouse Cinema will show the movie "Top End Wedding"
Wow, what a great Australian movie, beautiful cinematography of Australia's landscape showing the beauty of the Northern Territory. The film was heart warming and also very funny with a great message and likeable characters.
As the suburbs of Darwin recede, Top End Wedding gets itself into parts of Australia that seldom make it onto our movie screens. The Aboriginal communities of the far north might make an unlikely setting for a rom-com, but Blair makes the transition not just seamless, but exhilarating.

Overall, a very enjoyable Australian romantic comedy and a must watch

Doors open at 6:15, movie starts at 6:30.

Bring your own chair, nibbles and drinks, meet for a drink or meal at the Sprig & Fern before or after ...
