School Values Focus Weeks 8 – 10

Kia ora bloggers

Matariki, which marks the beginning of the new year in the Māori lunar calendar, is fast approaching. It is a great time to reflect on our environment and to think about ways in which we can take care of it and all living things. So, for the next three weeks, our school values focus is kaitiakitanga.

What ways might you and your whānau be celebrating Matariki this year?
