Kawa of Care
The Manaiakalani Kawa of Care was co-constructed between schools and whānau. This agreement covers the responsibilities of students, parents and schools. It ensures that students will get the best use of their device during their time on the programme, and that schools and families understand how they can best care for the devices.
Smart Learners focuses on connecting learners with elements of the Kawa of Care and responsible use agreement. We recommend teachers take time to familiarise themselves with the Kawa of Care and identify how best they can empower learners to make connections with being Cybersmart.
