Presenting cultural journey

We were invited to present our Cultural Journey at a workshop being held by Mātauraka Mahaanui after working with Di for a number of years. 


 

Kia ora Steph

It was great catching up with you yesterday.  Here are the things I said I would send to you; if you can take photos of signage, internal shots etc, then I can get them printed for you.  Here are those photos I already had, for your records.  These were from 2017.

As I mentioned, just lead a conversation with a small group – no presentation (powerpoint) needed; just the “good, bad and the ugly” – what you have done, how the staff/students have learned their cultural story through naming, (i.e. strategies, activities to learn) what you are working towards, what worked well, what you could do better or more of, side-outcomes from having done this (eg 2-year curriculum plan, graduate profile etc).

Just wherever the conversation goes.

See you on 14^th.

Ngā manaakitanga,

Nā Di

Family Violence Workshop

Felic and I attended a Family Violence Workshop at Ashely school, hosted by Womens refugee and local police.

The stories were all local and brought to light how many cases are dealt with in North Canterbury.   We looked at signs to look out for in both students and parents.  We also were given helpful tips and where to go for help.  Hopefully, a second workshop will be held soon as it was very engaging.

Leadership Cluster Meeting

Dawn, Felic and myself went along to a leadership meeting at KBS hosted by Rebecca Sweeney  where we were part of a workshop looking at how to develop leadership skills, have those tough conversations and be part of the solution.
