Every year up to 2000 NZ teens do not receive their NCEA results because their NCEA fees were not paid by their caregivers.
Imagine putting in all that work, and then not getting the reward? Or knowing you have passed, but you can't use your marks to obtain a job?
I have started a fund on Give A Little, any small donation will be welcome and for each $76.70 that is raised one more teen can see a brighter future.
Please see this link to donate. http://www.givealittle.co.nz/cause/nceafeehelp

Hi Anna, this NCEA fees donations initiative is great - I've taught at a few low-decile schools where there were always a few students who didn't pay their fees. Stumbled upon your blog while looking for examples of gardening blogs to show my class, before they start their own!
