Oat the Goat - Standing up for yourself and others.

 As part of our on-going Positive Education programme the students in Tautoru have recently been discussing how we can stand up for ourselves and others in a variety of situations. This has been a valuable exercise as we want our students to have strategies and skills in place so that they can lean on them in times of need.


We started a session last week watching a fantastic resource developed by the Ministry of Education called Oat the Goat. The link to the movie can be found here


It would be something that you can revisit with your child/children to continue the conversations from school at home. We found the students were able to come up with a number of great ideas and the movie was very well paced and was very engaging.


We then shared ideas with our friends about what we would do or say if we saw bullying behaviour. It was also important for the students to know who to ask if they need support or help. Here are some examples of our ideas and thoughts.
