Emotional Wellbeing - We'd like to know what you think.

Improving emotional wellbeing

This is a 14 minute watch so possibly something to bookmark for when you have time. It is young person's perspective on why teaching mindfulness is so important.

If you have further questions about our mindfulness programme at the Bay Academy please do not hesitate to be in touch.

Coming up at Oromahoe Kindergarton

Keeping children safe online

We are fortunate that Pauline Spence from Netsafe is returning to Tai Tokerau to deliver her workshops across our wider region. Netsafe is all about online safety and reporting.

This session is for parents, whānau and caregivers who may be looking for more information to help them support their young people with their time online. Details are in the brochure below.



Here is a Netsafe resource available for parents and whānau to begin with;



This is also an opportunity to remind parents that we have a kawa of care in place for students when using devices at school. Details of this are included here for your information. It is designed to develop and support the behaviours required to use time online responsibly and in a principled and caring way.

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) update

We have been working on establishing a simple set of values on which to base the teaching of behaviour and expectations in school and on school based activities. PB4L is a key strategic goal for our school supporting a focus on emotional and social wellbeing for our children.

Based on the input of students, parents, whānau and staff we have identified 4 shared values common across our school community. They are;

AROHA - RESILIENCE - WHANAUNGATANGA - RESPONSIBILITY
(follow this link for detailed definitions of the Māori words https://maoridictionary.co.nz/) 

We plan to use these as the basis for teaching the behaviours that lead to a healthy social/emotional, and successful learning environment at our school. The goal is that students, parents, whānau and staff gain a clear understanding of the expected behaviours and strive to live up to them.

We'll lead this by asking the question, Ko wai au? Who am I? The following graphic combines the values with all the elements of the IB Learner Profile.
