A recent visit to the Hibiscus Coast by Jan Tinetti, Minister for Women and Associate Minister for Education, combined school visits with talking to women in the trades at various building sites.
The Minister was brought to the area by Labour List MP Marja Lubeck.
Included in the itinerary on Wednesday, September 7 were visits to Dairy Flat School, and the site of Nukumea School in North Ōrewa, which is under construction and is expected to open around May next year (HM July 25).
Lubeck says she was ‘high fived’ at Dairy Flat school because of the recent decision by the Minister of Transport Michael Wood not to grant North Shore Aero Club airport authority status (HM August 22).
At the Nukumea School site, the pair were briefed about the build and also about progress on Ahutoetoe School, which is being built in Milldale and scheduled to open in Term one of next year. They met founding Principals and senior management teams for the two new schools.
The Minister also met young women apprentices including Stillwater’s Lauren Peace.
The Minister noted that the Ōrewa Ministry for Social Development work broker had helped Lauren into an apprenticeship as a spray-painter with WRNZ.
