Service weeks classes!

This week our school has been celebrating the first of  two service weeks, twenty-five classes will all be contributing and showing random acts of kindness to others.

So far we've had an amazing first week, from Room 11 shining shoes at lunchtimes, to Room 25 making eco-friendly hand sanitiser for teachers! One class was washing cars!! 

Service week is going great, and we hope it stays like that!

How to be happy the triquel!

How to be happy no. 3 is up and running on our Youtube channel!

It teaches people how to make vegan mug cakes and lots of other really good things to allow us more joy in our lives. We ask ourselves serious questions as to why we should be happy and how we can make others happy.

Please watch it and share it with others. Spread the joy. Make others happy and the world can be happy.

Thanks

Refugee Mufti Day!

Some of our students went the extra mile in our make a difference inquiry when they organised a mufti day where all the profits went to the refugees at Mangere Refugee Centre. We are so happy to share our country with our new brothers and sisters.

If you would like to learn more about the Refugee Centre please watch this video. Remember, everyone is amazing :)

The Social Changency's party!

Today we are celebrating.  Everyone that is in the Social Changency and their friends. We are watching a Baha'i documentary to participate in Baha'i holiday that people all around the world are celebrating. We are all having a great time!
We have lots of snack food, but that's definitely not what we're here for.
The documentary was really good and we've learned heaps about many different people and their lives.
