The Middle School Missions Council is collecting good quality items during Weeks 6 and 7 for the SALT Community Op Shop, which recently opened in Orewa. The profits from the Op Shop are used to fund food hampers that are given to those in our community that need them. Items can be brought to S120.

Middle Years Wellbeing - Deans
Middle Years students can sometimes be thoughtless in the way they talk to each other, not realising the impact of their words. Research shows that your brain responds to words in ways that affect your experience of the world. Words can hurt or they can heal. Despite how small or insignificant you may view certain words; in the right context they have enough power to change someone's life and dictate how they view themselves entirely. These words can change the way they feel about themselves, how they value themselves and how they continue on with their lives. It is important to discuss with your children how their words, whether on social media or face to face, can have a significant effect on the lives of those around them.
Ephesians 4:29 "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."
