Thank you for taking an interest in your child's education by visiting our site.
The New Zealand Curriculum has a vision for young people to be confident, connected, actively involved lifelong learners. You can help make that vision a reality for your child.
Newspapers in Education (NiE) offers a wealth of fun, educational activities that cater for young readers.
Highly illustrated NiE pages published in the newspaper cover a range of curriculum-based learning areas helping students keep up with the news, understand how the media works and think about the world in which they live.
You'll find NiE pages in the newspaper on Tuesdays during the school term. There are four different levels. Simply the most relevant pages for the reading age of your kids and get started. Click here for NiE page levels and samples.
You can help your child develop literacy skills by reading the NiE page with him/her and discussing the ideas and issues they raise.
Explore the rest of the newspaper and create a reading habit that will last for the rest of their lives.
Ask your children if they are using the NiE programme in their classroom. If so, they can bring the newspaper home once they've read it in class. Reading the NiE page is a great way to stay in touch with their learning.
