Here is a photo gallery of our trip on Thursday, along with some student voice of the experience. <\/span><\/p>

CHS \"its scary as you feel like you have to get everything right\", \"they are a great bunch and they know their stuff \", \"they are lucky having a trip like this\". <\/span><\/p>

BKTOP \" this was sooo much fun\", \"the haka was so loud, they knew how to use their voices\", \"I saw Jacob's sister\", \" the students were really friendly\".<\/span><\/p>

Being Part of Something Bigger- Cashmere High School and Beckenham te kura o P\u016broto<\/span><\/h3>

Planting in the Cashmere Stream.<\/span><\/p>

This initiative was started through the sustainability club at CHS and some our students have been working with this group too! A big thank you to <\/span>Vinnie, John, Max, Alex P, Tom, Alex S and Dylan who volunteered their time and Justine Vandenberg for giving our students the opportunity to be sustainable citizens. Ace!<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
The grasses will help to cool the stream for the eels, absorb run off and the draping leaves provide some habitat for small aquatic life. <\/span><\/div>

40 Hour Famine -Be part of Something Bigger<\/span><\/h3>


<\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

19\u201321 June | Be Part of Something Bigger<\/span><\/p>

This year, World Vision are again inviting young people across Aotearoa to make a real impact through the 40 Hour Challenge \u2014 raising life-changing funds for children and communities in the Solomon Islands.<\/span><\/p>

Why?<\/span>
<\/span>Because right now, many children and families in the Solomon Islands are facing significant challenges due to poverty and the impacts of climate change. Communities rely heavily on farming and fishing, making them especially vulnerable to changing weather patterns and natural disasters. Funds raised through the 40 Hour Challenge help provide practical support and create stronger, more sustainable futures.<\/span><\/p>

Our Year 5\u20138 students had the opportunity to sign up this week. We would love your support in helping them sign up, choose a challenge, and begin their fundraising journey. Click the link <\/span>here <\/span><\/a>to join our school's fundraising page. <\/span><\/p>

Whether students choose to go completely offline for 40 hours or create a challenge of their own, every effort helps make a difference.<\/span><\/p>

Child not taking part in the challenge but would still like to contribute? You can access our school fundraising page <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>

Cyber Safety <\/span><\/h2>

The HDCA for Parents and Wh\u0101nau<\/span><\/h3>

The Harmful Digital Communications Act (or HDCA for short) is an act passed by the Government back in 2015 to help people dealing with serious or repeated harmful digital communications. It covers anything digital like text, emails or social media content.<\/span><\/p>


<\/b><\/p>

The most useful thing for parents to understand about the HDCA is the way the 10 communication principles define what is good or bad behaviour online.<\/span><\/p>


<\/b><\/p>

If you\u2019re ever concerned about your young person (or you just want to brush up on your knowledge!) visit <\/span>Netsafe\u2019s Guide to the HDCA<\/span><\/a><\/p>

Staying Safe Online: Bullying<\/span><\/h3>

One in five young people in New Zealand have been the target of online bullying \u2013 it can happen to anyone, and it can be hard for parents and wh\u0101nau to deal with. Beckenham Te Kura o P\u016broto takes online bullying seriously and would encourage you to chat to your tamariki\u2019s teacher if you have any concerns about online bullying.<\/span><\/p>
