What a great start to the year! We have come together after the break with everyone ready to learn and enthusiastic to make new friends along with re-establishing old friendships. We are all very excited about 2021.
This week we have been unpacking the concept of Manaakitanga which is about caring for people and the environment. Many of the students are familiar with Manaakitanga through our school Karakia, Kapa Haka, and prior learning.
Over the course of the coming week we will continue to look at Manaakitanga and how we can encourage students to see it in others and also themselves. On Tuesday we worked in base groups and discussed the different ways we care for the people around us , at school, and the wider world. We had a range of ideas from picking up rubbish, doing the dishes after dinner, and using our manners when we are out shopping!
