Citizenship (C.A.R.E)

·      ‘Manaaki whenua, manaaki tangata, haere whakamua’

 Care for the land, care for the people, go forward

There have been issues, recently, at morning tea and lunchtime where students have been playing games e.g. soccer and the people have been ending up frustrated, upset or annoyed.  It is important to remember the whakatauki (proverb) that reminds us of our responsibility to be ‘good citizens’ and to care for each other.  You need to be more considerate of others, especially those that are younger.   This is the week of the ‘Citizenship award’.
