Navigating the Journey
We will be participating in the Navigating the Journey programme over the next 4 weeks. The Navigating the journey Te takahi i te ara resources use the metaphor of navigation to describe a person’s lifetime journey of physical, social, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of hauora (wellbeing).
Navigating the Journey is a comprehensive age-appropriate programme about relationships and sexuality developed by Family planning for delivery in primary and secondary schools. This programme is aligned with the Ministry of Education’s guidelines for relationship education and sexuality education. This programme is also aligned with the health and physical education learning area of The New Zealand Curriculum.
The key concepts that will be covered for 2025 can be found on Hero. If you wish to find out more detail about any specific lessons please get in touch with your home group teacher.
Sporting Achievements
Following on from his invitation to the West Ham Foundation Australia National Camp earlier this year, Hamish has been selected to attend the West Ham United Development Tour in the United Kingdom. What an amazing opportunity - we wish him all the best as he takes the next steps in his football journey.
A big thank you also to all the community members who supported Hamish’s fundraising efforts by purchasing bacon - your generosity is greatly appreciated.
One in five young people in New Zealand have been the target of online bullying – it can happen to anyone, and it can be hard for parents and whānau to deal with. Beckenham Te Kura o Pūroto takes online bullying seriously and would encourage you to chat to your tamariki’s teacher if you have any concerns about online bullying.
