Walk the Hurunui Family Violence – Its Not Okay Campaign'.

• We have planted a flax at each school in the Hurunui because we want everyone in the Hurunui to be safe and kind to each other.

• The flax in Maori Culture represents the family . A close family should be a  safe  place where people look after each other. The leaves of the flax are close to each other like we want families to be.

The children are the middle leaves - the parents are the next leaves- the outside leaves are the grandparents uncle & aunties.

• We are running and walking between schools to say -look after each other. Don't say mean things . Don't be bullies and if anyone is looking sad its ok to ask them if they are okay

• Its good to care about each other and to help each other.
  

• Its Never Okay To bully - to do and to say mean things.

• This Family Violence Campaign is happening all over New Zealand and we are just starting it in the Hurunui.

Kia Kaha
