During the lockdown the online assembly has been a time to reconnect with my school whanau. It is time for the Totara whanau to come together, to listen to a message, to have fun and participate in online quizzes, to look at the academic data and to see where we are at in our journey. It is an opportunity to come together, something that is important especially in a time when the physicality of togetherness is limited.
The opportunity to provide appropriate, relevant and meaningful messaging to my whanau group during the lockdown has been important in my role as whanau leader. Over the course of the last 8 weeks, the messaging during whanau time has covered different topics from students and staff sharing their personal journey, to students talking about what and who their 'why' is to exploring the themes for the language weeks. I have made sure to write a reflection on each assembly and to document this as a way to keep a record of what has been done. There are some absolute gems that have come through our whanau time and I am so grateful to have this opportunity to create and foster a culture of sharing and talanoa in my whanau group.
At our assembly this week, we looked at the term 'priorities'. The House leaders explored the priorities matrix and broke it down for Totara House. Check out the highlights below.
