Attitude Presentations

Earlier this term young men in Year 9 and Year 10 were fortunate to have a presentation by Attitude NZ. The organisation is dedicated to equipping teenagers with the information and skills they need to negotiate the adolescent years and build meaningful lives.

The presentation for Year 9 students was around the whole concept of Hauora. Topics included: The importance of getting good sleep; managing cell phones and social media; looking after your body and mind; where to go for help in the school and community; the importance of being involved in extra-curricular activities.

The presentation for Year 10 students focused on decision-making and finding healthy ways to meet your needs. Topics included: The need to be accepted; the need to eliminate boredom; the need for excitement; how our family environment can affect us and how we need to respond to that; risk-taking – how to minimise risk and maximise success; vaping, drugs and designer drugs.

As usual, the presentations were delivered with professionalism, humour, and a range of activities to keep the young men focused. Once again, thank you to Attitude NZ for making the time to come and speak to our young men.

“Our dream is that every young person in Aotearoa would know that they are valued and be inspired to pursue a flourishing life.”
