Please find this week’s Monday Mailing below.

$400 million for school infrastructure. I am sure it is needed in many schools, but is it the biggest priority when I have heard rumours around cuts in special needs funding for next year (hope I am wrong).

Have a great week.

Recommended resource from fellow colleague

Recently on a school library tour to Auckland schools, I had the privilege to meet Abel and his amazing resources. I have since had him visit the Morrinsville Cluster of schools and RTLB. Everyone was impressed with his resources. He also has wonderful pepeha and Samoan interactive floor mats which the children can have a lot of fun while learning.

Abel has worked directly with a couple of primary schools (NE teachers and AP's/Pr) in Auckland, to provide these relevant and useful resources. He is interested in visiting schools in the Waikato. I recommend him.

Please find attached flyer.
