Roll call today for some of the country's new mayors. The gathering in Wellington - dubbed 'mayor school' - is held after every local body election but isn't compulsory.
Metro mayors typically wag. Wayne Brown was absent, but Christchurch's Phil Mauger and Wellington's Tory Whanau showed up for class.
And the most recently announced mayor - Moko Tepania in the Far North - also made the trip.
