Successful Term 1 meetings

Our Student Leaders met for the first time in February and worked together on activities to help them get to know each other. They completed some challenging activities that required them to remember several pieces of information about each other and played some teamwork games. They had lots of ideas about events and activities they wanted to organise for all the Kāhui Ako schools to take part in.

During our second Student Leaders meeting they chose to focus on NZ Music Month during May as their first series of activities and events to run. NZ Sign Language Week is also during May, so they decided to set an across school challenge for classes to learn how to sing and sign ‘Tutira Mai’ – student leaders will share the details of this challenge and other events and activities with their own schools. Their teamwork challenge for this session had them working together to build a structure with spaghetti and marshmallows. The students showed great collaboration skills and were able to identify what improvements they would make next time.
