Women’s Empowerment Workshop

By Frank Neill

The 2023 Multicultural Council of Wellington (MCW) Women’s Empowerment Workshop was so successful that people attending have asked MCW to hold another.

Held at Collective Community Hub in Johnsonville on 4 March, the workshop was held as part of International Women’s Day 2023.

The workshop’s theme was “DigitALL:Innovation and technology for gender equality”.

An array of speakers explored issues such as innovation, harm reduction, gender equality, leadership, and youth for the empowerment of all women and girls. The speakers included Ohariu MP Greg O’Connor, Wellington City Councillor Ray Chung, Multicultural New Zealand

President Pancha Narayanan, lawyer Jesil Cajes, Liz Chin and Brittany Travers from the Ministry for Ethnic Communities and the Ethnic Communities Engagement Lead with Te Whatu Ora Ra Uniyaal. Wellington City Council supported MCW to hold the workshop.

Notice regarding out of zone enrolments for Term 3 2023

Enrolment at Newlands Primary School is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available on our website https://newlandsprimary.school.nz/enrolments/. The Board has determined that up to 10 places are likely to be available for out of zone new entrant students wishing to commence during Term 3 2023 (17 July to 22 September 2023). The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone. The Board has determined we also have a number of spaces still available for new entrants from Term 2 2023 (24 April to 30 June 2023).

For students seeking enrolment to commence school during Term 2 or Term 3 2023 deadline for receipt of applications for out of zone places is 9:00am Friday 31 March 2023. If the number of out of zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. If a ballot for out of zone students is required, this will be held on Friday 31 March. Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held.

Parents of students who live within the home zone and intend enrolling their child should notify Newlands Primary School as soon as possible to assist with planning. Students who live in the home zone are entitled to enrol at the school at any time.
