MANĀKITANGA

Kōrero pai i ngā wā katoa. Whakaaro pai ki ngā tangata kātoa.

Speak nice things all the time. Think good things about all people.


We will achieve this by:

  • Knowing how we feel when we are angry or frustrated and stopping and taking some deep breaths before we say anything out loud

  • Using THINK - Is it: True? Helpful? Inspiring? Necessary and Kind? If it doesn't tick the boxes, don't say it!

  • Give others the benefit of the doubt, maybe they did it by accident, or didn't mean what they said. People make mistakes and we need to remember that.

  • Respecting each others’ personal boundaries

  • Knowing when to ask for help or let someone know that you want time out

  • Know what the break-out rooms are for, when we go in them, and how to behave in them

  • Knowing how our mood affects our learning and others

  • Respecting others and the way they are feeling

  • Using kind words that make people feel great


Success Indicator:

  • We will be calmer and have less arguments and fights

  • Our class will be calmer and more controlled helping us to learn better

  • We will be thanked for our thoughtfulness

  • We will feel respected and cared for when people speak to us using kind words

  • We will feel safe and happy in our personal space and in our classroom

  • We can continue to improve and develop our reputation in a positive way
