The 2019 Decile Review is open and applications close on 23 September.
To apply for a decile review, schools must supply information as outlined in the application pack, which is available on the Education Counts website.
Results will be available before the end of the 2019 school year. Where reviews are successful and the decile will be lowered, the increased funding will apply from the beginning of the 2020 school year.
Note: Indicative funding notices for the 2020 year (released in September 2019) will be calculated using a school’s current decile.
You can email Decile.Reviews@education.govt.nz with any questions.
What will you do in an emergency? You probably already know to 'Drop, Cover and Hold' during an earthquake. But as a citizen of New Zealand, we all need to know more about the six natural hazards that cause emergencies–floods, storms, earthquakes, tsunami, volcanoes, and landslides.
More importantly, we need to know about the six impacts–stuck at home; can't get home; have to evacuate; no power; no water; no phone or internet.
During this virtual field trip to Hawke's Bay, explore the latest and best practice recommended for you and your school during an emergency.
