Great post. What a fantastic example of a community making a difference with its youth in a way that can only but generate positive results.

What a shame those thugs in Martinborough didn’t interpret ‘community’ and ‘spirit’ in the same way.

There are many people living on the minimum wage in Nelson. They call it the sunshine wage, you get paid a lower wage for the privilage of living in an amazing place.

The most important part you left out Trevor – when did they start this wonderful lifestyle of diversity?

There has to be a lesson here since Victory has given up exclusion or expulsion. Is it possible that the kids feel valued and motivated enough to hate not being at school? “Mum. I’m not sick. Please don’t make me miss school.”
