Te Reo Māori: Matariki Debate
List 3 advantages and 3 disadvantages for New Zealand if the existing public holiday of Queen’s Birthday was replaced with a day to celebrate Matariki. You must explain why you believe this decision would be of benefit to New Zealand.
One advantage is that a public holiday to celebrate Matariki would be an acknowledgement of New Zealand’s first settlers.
Other ethnic groups in New Zealand might demand that their New Year should also become a public holiday, such as Chinese New Year. Where will it stop?
You are the Prime Minister of New Zealand. In no more than 150 words, you must advise your ministers which argument to support and the reasons why you believe this action should be taken, i.e. to replace Queen’s Birthday with Matariki or not. They will be expecting you to give them answers to some possibly tricky questions raised by those who might disagree with your opinion, so consider this in your final advice.

Here is some info that year 8 teachers should be discussing with their students and also with their families at parent interviews. (pls pass on to them)
The out of zone ballot date is set by the MOE - they have not confirmed a date as of yet - but I am using the 31st august as the cut off as the date is around that time.
The colleges will be going to drop off enrolment forms to their local schools, so if they want an out of zone school you will have to get the parents to chase up the forms.
PLEASE get your children to also apply for their in zone school, it WILL NOT jeopardise their out of zone application. This is a problem we have every year, where the children who are on the waiting list to get in to an out of zone school and don't get in, so they and don't end up starting a college on day 1. All students will know by the end of september if they are in to the out of zone school, so if they say they are on a waiting list they have more chance of winning lotto then getting in, so make sure they then enrol in their local school.
check out the attached doc on school and their dates and scholarships.
The other doc talks about how we are working with year 8's every year to assist them starting school on the first day of year 9. - we normally have over 200 children in feb who are not enrolled in a college.
