Why is Keiko here?

Keiko is here to be our school's well-being dog. Through an organisation called Dogs Connect, our school has been able to bring in Keiko.

The main reasons Keiko is here are to:

1. Support students' social and emotional needs

2. Increase school attendance

3. Increase people's confidence

4. Provide motivation

5. Strengthen community bonds 

Keiko is also still her own individual. It's really important that everyone treats Keiko with respect. if she feels stressed out, not only will it make her feel bad but the whole community as well.

When approaching Keiko, please take into consideration of the 7 rules!
