Katote Teacher Only Day


This workshop was fantastic.  Together with Felicity and Dawn, we are excited to dig a bit deeper into the model presented around Pipelines.  First steps to purchase the book discussed.



Interesting session.  Not what I thought it would be, however many statements that rung true and consolidated the relationships we try to establish with many of our students, both Māori and Non-Māori.


Biggest learning here, that self-harm is not always a concern for suicide.  Many resources to be emailed through so I can dig deeper in supporting some of the students already popping up at KNS.

Mihi Whakatau


This workshop was held at Tuahiwi Marae and helped answer questions around differences and Tikanga around Mihi, Pepeha, Mihimihi, Mihi Whakatau.

I made connections with other schools from within and outside our Kahui Ako.  Some of which are willing to be sounding boards as we work through this together.

Programme/Protocols to be developed for our school checked with Tuahiwi Education Committee and set for our school.
