Our Mission Statement

We are an active globally-minded group from Remuera Intermediate School in Auckland New Zealand, that are concerned about the important issues of today. We align ourselves with the values programme of our school and endeavour to make a difference to our school and our community. We will organise special days throughout the year to build awareness of global issues such as the environment and peace. We will concentrate on service and being of benefit to others. Our time to change the world is at our Friday lunchtime meetings with Mr Zemke in the Media Room.

Peace Poetry

 Students were invited to listen to some relaxing music and were given the following instructions.


  • Take the time to create an original poem.

  • You are free to use any type of poetic style.


Here are some of the poetry written by students from our school.

By Zoe and Alice

Peace poem

Peace is the calm wind

Peace is the flowing water

Peace is the endless green grass

Peace is laughing and having fun with family

Peace is the birds flying high

Peace is cherishing every moment of your life

Peace is lambs frolicking along the spring floor

Peace is a field of vibrant flower waiting to bloom

Peace is spending time with pets







Playing and laughing with peers

Enjoying every moment of life

Always look at the positive

Cherishing the time you spend with pets

Everyone should be peaceful








Peace Poem


Peace like the water

Always peaceful like the tree

Hanging in the wind


By Arthur Thayaparan

Peace Poem


Peace is the wind soft and serene,

Peace is the river flowing softly

Peace is the birds, flying high

Peace is a bundle of colors.

Peace is what makes us aware of our surroundings,

Peace is a field of flowers waiting to bloom

Peace is the rain tapping on the window 


Peace is cherishing  every moment

Peace

Hear the water fall

Imagine somewhere you like

Take a big deep breath


By Haruki Lee


Peace


What is the meaning of peace. What is peace.

And I am here to tell you about the meaning of peace,

what is the importance of peace and

why we need peace in our daily lives.

I am here to uncover these questions and share my opinion

of the definition of peace with you.


Now firstly, what is peace. I think that peace is not war like

or violent because it is horrifying and cruel,

peace is not words that harm others,

peace is free from disturbance and tranquillity.

The killing of George Floyd who is a 46 year old man was

filmed by inhabitants of Minneapolis, America.

And the pandemic of his death is because of racism.

And black, lives, matter.

This is not peace.


By Matthew...


Thank you so much to all those students that participated and shared their peace poems.
We are grateful to all of you.
