School Fair:
Last year we had great successwith these stalls: Indian dishes such as butterchicken, Asian dumplings, Italian pizza
and nachos, spring rolls, waffles, but unfortunately we do not have anyone to run them this year.
Is this something you could help with? Do you have any other ideas?
Come along to our meeting this Wednesday. School Fair hui: Wednesday 19th February in the staffroom at 6pm.
We would love you to come along and korero with us.
Kia ora koutou katoa

The purpose of the health consultation process is to:
- inform the school community about the content of the health curriculum
- ascertain the wishes of the school community regarding the way in which the health curriculum should be implemented, given the views, beliefs, and customs of the members of that community
- determine, in broad terms, the health education needs of the students.
What is health and physical education about? In essence “A positive feeling in your heart will enhance your sense of self-worth.” The focus is on the well-being of the students themselves, of other people, and of society through learning in health-related and movement contexts.
The four underlying concepts are:
- Hauora – a Māori philosophy of well-being that includes the dimensions taha wairua, taha hinengaro, taha tinana, and taha whānau, each one influencing and supporting the others.
- Attitudes and values – a positive, responsible attitude on the part of students to their own well-being; respect, care, and concern for other people and the environment; and a sense of social justice.
- The socio-ecological perspective – a way of viewing and understanding the interrelationships that exist between the individual, others, and society.
- Health promotion – a process that helps to develop and maintain supportive physical and emotional environments and that involves students in personal and collective action.

Keep an eye out for the survey which will be coming your way soon. We would really love to know your thoughts about where you wish us to head in terms of implementing this curriculum in the next two years.
