Heading out on the road this long weekend? Remember to drive to the conditions, take regular breaks and check your car is road-ready before heading out.

Something to watch this weekend…
Episode three of Home Education introduces Irma, who left her career as a chartered accountant to home educate her two sons. When her eldest son was attending school, his love for ballet became an open secret. But now, “you don't have to hide,” says Irma, who feels her children's formative years are too precious to miss. Irma now fields questions like “does space have a bottom?” following Montessori and Unschooling education principles. Made with the support of NZ On Air.
