Leaders Games #2. Brilliant work.

 Libby and Charlotte to the pump again to help our school leaders to organize a fun afternoon of games and challenges for the children. I love the sounds of laughter and the looks of amazement on the young leaders faces as they try to get their instructions across to the children. Oh boy. They are so encouraging and positive in the face of impossible odds. Getting 5 year olds to understand the rules of a game is like getting world leaders to agree to a ceasefire. 

It was a really good afternoon and the leaders triumphed as always.

School Leaders Games Afternoon

 

The Student Leader’s Day was brilliant in the week before Easter and once again Whaea Libby

and Whaea Charlotte were wonderful mentors and coaches for the children.

Our older tamaiti spontaneously click into tuakana teina mode and take care of the younger

tamariki. They coach and encouraged them, and often stop what they are doing to make sure that

the littlies are being supported. It really is Triple As in action.

Our children live the values and it comes from within them because our kaiawhina

set high standards for support and caring and it's just part of who we are.

Several of us were talking about the kindness and caring of our children towards others.

This is part of what makes us a great place to be.
