- Hi Melanie, Welcome to the site - I'm enjoying your contributions. It looks like the support staff at your school did a great job of their campaign activity. Over on Fair Deal, the Suppor Staff site, we're encouraging people to post videos talking about their campaign involvement. Take a look - http://www.fairdeal.org.nz/video/share-your-support-staff
If you are still in contact with any of the support staff from your school it would be great to get a video from one of them.
