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’.
