Tuakana Teina
"Ma te tuakana ka totika te teina, ma te teina ka totika te tuakana'
From the older ones, the young ones learn the right way to do things, and from the young ones the older ones learn to be tolerant.
Teaching, learning, sharing knowledge, supporting one another is encouraged.

Information for Staff
1. Thank you for all the work with Parent-teacher interviews, we have had a few big days so enjoy your weekend! A number of you may have had conversations around student tutoring with parents. Just a reminder if you are able to have a follow up discussion with the students concerned and if they wish to have one-on-one tutoring to send the names through to me (BLS). I will then forward the requests onto Frankie our Academic Prefect.
2. A number of staff attended a PLD session out at Rolleston College on Tuesday afternoon. I've caught up with a couple of staff with regards to their overall impressions. Well worth a chat with them and hear their feedback (HNS, FRR, PHC, REA, JAA, MWL, HAT). There will be another opportunity later on in the year for some of our staff to visit Haeata Community Campus. More information to come.
3. New research on Digital Technologies in Schools has been released. A summary of the findings can be found 'HERE'. The full report is also available if you want a longer read with regards to impact. (HERE). The summary highlights that fact that 8 out of 10 Principals in New Zealand indicate that digital technologies are having a positive impact on student achievement.
4. Open Day - This year we will have a few secret shoppers giving feedback on which department was the most welcoming, best displays and most informative - there are prizes on the line!
A look at some of the Rolleston College Learning Spaces.
How the day is structured at Rolleston is quite different. Learning time can be 'connected' - an integrated approach with the learning areas, or 'selected', as we would think of as 'options'.
Staff Wellbeing:
It is Bullying Free NZ week next week. Remember to take a look at the resources that were emailed out from HAT. It would be great to see a few activities happening in class throughout the week.
The Mental Heath Foundation have sent out a number of posters called 'Five ways to wellbeing'.
Their advice:
