Getting to Know Our Cultures
The beginning of the year is always good for getting to know each other and developing positive relationships. This year for the first four weeks we worked in home base classes to develop routines, expectations and to get to know each other more.
We then pulled all of this together and had a Cultural Sharing Day. Students were able to learn about our different cultures and learn more about their classmates.

Students in Whakamanawa worked on a Cultural Sharing slide and then presented these on the big screen to the class. The engagement and encouragement from students were really lovely to witness. All students were really focused and full of positive comments and questions during the sharing sessions.
This is an example of one of the student's slide:
We had a class shared lunch and an afternoon of performances.
We are looking forward to sharing and strengthening our cultural knowledge and understanding throughout the year.
