KiwiKaha at Linwood College at Ōtākaro

Deborah Young —

KiwiKaha is the first step of a journey that takes young people through Graeme Dingle Foundation programmes at different stages in their schooling.

The workshops set a foundation of values and life skills that the students take with them through school and into later life. Each week our ākonga will enjoy a positive, uplifitng environment that encourages self-belief and confidence. This year we are lucky to have the KiwiKaha programme operating at LCŌ. This programme is run in our Tāhuhu space for our amazing Year 7 and 8s.

The programme covers such topics as Respect, Role Models, Good Choices, and many other interesting subjects to support our young people.

Hayley and Owen are our kaiako who come in each Friday and have lots of fun and learning with our ākonga.
