MANA

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

Speak good things all the time. Think good things about everyone all the time.

We will achieve this by:

• Using put ups all the time

• Using nice words, no swearing

• Thank people, use please when asking - using our manners

• Thinking before we speak and not saying anything if we can't say anything nice

• 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

• Not jumping to conclusions, it may have been an accident and not something to get upset about

• Apologising to someone if you do something accidental to them STRAIGHT AWAY to avoid things escalating to a fight

• Supporting others to say the right thing

• Not gossiping about others or spreading rumours. It is hurtful to people.

• Not telling your friends they can't play with someone else, that is their choice and none of your business who they play with. 

• Think - would I like someone to say that to me? Or about me? If not, do not say it.

Success Indicator:

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

• There will be less arguments and stress every day, making us feel happier at school

• 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

• We will be ready to learn as much as we can
