Information for Staff

1. Thank you to everyone for engaging in our first late start linked to our inquiry for 2019. You will all now see that you have been added to a Team Drive in google "Teaching as Inquiry - Staff PLD" Your group facilitator will have uploaded your presentations and relevant resources there. You will also be able to access other folders for other information if you wish.

2. This is an FYI, that I saw in the latest education central re digital examinations. It looks as if they are stopping the go ahead for subjects such as mathematics being delivered by a digital format.

3. Here is a simple karakia which can be used at the start of a department / faculty meeting, or class. It is non-denominational and it is great to make sure that people know to join in for “tāiki e” at the end.

Karakia Tīmatanga                                     Prayer for start of day /meeting

Tūtawa mai i raro                                        I summon from below

Tūtawa mai i roto                                         I summon from within

Tūtawa mai i waho                                       and from the surrounding environment

Kia tau ai te mauri tū                                   The universe energy

te mauri ora ki te katoa                               invigorate, and enrich us, unify us

Hāumi e, hui e, tāiki e

4. Next Matai messenger will be available in the second week of the school holdiays - enjoy your well earned break
