The Social Changency presents at Assembly... Again!

At the same Assembly explained in the recent post, we all stood up at the front of the Hall to support Zach and Alessia to present some slides and show our newly produced video. It was so great to hear the reactions of the students.

It was a really appropriate message after the shocking events from only days before.

We are hoping for more people to follow the group on all its platforms and to submit entries to the Race Unity Poster Competition due at the end of March.

We already have some early entries from some awesome students from RI.

We shared our Instagram too. 

We expect to produce more videos and will be back at Assembly to share them.

Remember, we meet every Friday at 12.15 and anyone is welcome to join The Social Changency.

Monday's Assembly Following the Tragic Events in Christchurch

First there was a notice from the Principal -  Mr Brewerton.

He was explaining that there is no right or wrong way to feel about the events in Christchurch some of us may feel nothing whilst could be in tears, it's ok. He also encouraged us to talk to someone about it, whether your family or a teacher; as this is a time to heal and for all New Zealanders to come together.

The Student Council of 2019 were awarded their badges today, They carry messages back and forth back and forth between the students and teachers,  offering suggestions and ideas to make improvements to the school. 
They have a meeting every week with the Deputy Principal Mr Beckett.

There was an opportunity shared, an initiative of the Auckland Blues - that students could donate their worn soccer or rugby boots. These will be collected in the coming weeks.

 This is the bin to put your shoes in. Next to room 11

Christchurch shooting

Yesterday, a horrible massacre happened in a mosque in Christchurch. Today we are honouring the dead and how New Zealand will stand strong in the face of hate. Now we will celebrate New Zealand's diversity and love each other for who we are. 

Martin Luther King once said "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that". 

Kids strike for climate change

Yesterday, there was a march to change the world, Kids strike for climate change. Kids from all around the world joined in by not attending school and protested to send a message that we all need to do more to save Mother Earth.

Our new video for 2019

Today we celebrate International Women's Day!

GIRL POWER.

We celebrate women and girls being themselves, not giving in to the beauty myth, and instead being powerful.

A Special Opportunity

On Monday 18 March our school has the privilege of receiving a special Music teacher that is visiting New Zealand from the USA.
