Kindness

The value of kindness is very valuable after what has happened recently. We all need to think about other people in the world in the nicest way possible. Be friendly to every one you see. Say hi! Give people you care about a nice present. Do what you think make someone smile.

Do you know your neighbours?
Do you help your local community?
Have you done anything you could do to make your community better?

if you answered any of these no, then go and make it a YES!

Here are ways to keep calm.

There are many things in life that makes us stressed. So to combat that feeling we need to keep calm. here are some ways to do that...

- stop what you are doing and do some diaphragmatic breathing.
- realise when you are stressed and focus on what you were stressed about.
- close your eyes and imagine your happy place (personal favourite).

Love not hate

Anti-Racism March in Auckland

On Sunday, more than 1,000 Aucklanders marched through Queen Street with the main message being "Love not hate". 

A week on from the Christchurch massacre

A week has passed since a gunman senselessly killed 50 people at the Al Noor and Linwood Mosques. He sought notoriety and for this reason we shall not name him. His actions do not define the beliefs of the people of New Zealand. 

Since then New Zealand has stood united against racism, people have held hands outside mosques in solidarity.

They are us. We are them. 

Be Part Of The Solution!

21 March is Race Relations Day

Today is the 21st of March, in New Zealand this is known as Race Relations Day.

These are are the Hands for Humanity created by some RI kids with the guidance of Mrs Sturgiss to feel better after the Christchurch tragedy.

These are some images for an initiative called Random acts of kindness! (from Room 14!). They decorated the windows of the Staff Room with messages of love, placed kind messages on notes on the furniture and gave each teacher a bag of sweets.

What a sweet gesture from some very caring students.
