We have been discussing how we can show the values \u2018We Make a Difference\u2019 and \u2018We Care\u2019 by being upstanders. We have discussed with the students the different actions we can take to be an upstander (as opposed to a bystander) if we see someone being mistreated.

Steve is continuing to teach the Arts this term this term Visual Arts. Rae is covering Digital Technology and continuing with Coding. Gayle is teaching Geography, and Megan is teaching Health with a look at conflict resolution.

It's been great to see the tamariki working together and taking different roles in their groups to create their own unique rhythms.
