Is your school fuelling digital addiction or building safe, balanced gamers?
Added: 21.02.2025
Esports is exploding in our schools, and the stats don’t lie: your students are already gaming. However, without the guidance or balance they need this can lead to a real risk: skyrocketing screen time, sleep deprivation, and growing mental health concerns. NZ Esports (The national sporting organisation for Esports) is bringing a free, 10-minute health & wellbeing presentation right to your assembly stage. If you care about harnessing esports for better sleep, nutrition, screen-time habits, and digital wellbeing this is your chance. Grab the details before your school misses out!
Everyone Likes Passive Income - now is your opportunity
Attainable Trust is a Charitable Trust looking after people with disabilities mainly intellectual and learning. They provide work for people who would not necessarily get employment in mainstream.
A number of our customers, along with other well-known brands, have provided us with high quality products, which we are marketing under the Mighty Kind website. Mighty Kind is marketing direct to schools, clubs and other not for profit organisations.
Basically, your school will receive passive income on all purchases made through the website and where your school is selected as a recipient. Apart from the initial sell in, where your input is minimal, NO ADDITIONAL WORK IS REQUIRED BY YOUR ADMIN STAFF, BUT PASSIVE INCOME WILL FLOW YOUR WAY.
What better way to generate income for your school and at the same time provide employment opportunities for these less fortunate individuals employed by Attainable Trust.
For further information look at the attached flyer.

Crisis Management in High Schools
We were contacted by Daniel Laufer, PhD MBA who is the Associate Professor of Marketing at the Wellington School of Business and Government. He gave a presentation to commerce teachers in Auckland about teaching Crisis Management in high schools which we believe will be of interest to our members. He writes a column in the New Zealand Herald on the topic of Crisis Management (https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=12208055), and the column can be a valuable resource for commerce teachers to teach the topic. Below is a link to the PowerPoint presentation:
