In Room 6 we're looking at ways to build self-confidence and resilience. Looking to those we love the most proved to be a great start!

We've looked at how our whānau influence us and how they've been influenced by others - creating a circle of influence in our lives.

Our work this week culminated with the students reading their private letters from a caring adult in their lives.

It was silent as the students read their letters and then a feeling of joy, aroha and support erupted in the class. Students came to me and shared some of the comments they received, along with photos and other tokens of love.

It was beautiful :-)
