Values Programme: Term One - Respect
15 February 2010
In assembly this Monday (15 February), we launched our values programme. Respect is our focus for Term One. We are looking at what respect for people, resources and property and what respect looks, sounds and feels like.
Respect looks like being on time, ready to learn and accepting others’ differences. It looks like showing respect for your school by wearing correct school uniform with pride. Respect for resources and property looks like putting your rubbish where it belongs and treating your classrooms and equipment with care.
Respect sounds like having good manners to all around you. It sounds like one person speaking at a time. It sounds like celebrating success, both inside and outside the classroom.
It feels like treating others as you would like to be treated, understanding how it is to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. It feels like differences are okay. It feels like bringing your positive attitude with you to school.
When respect shapes how we look, how we sound and how we feel, it enables us to make the most of our potential, as individuals and as a group.
Posters relating to respect are in classrooms throughout the school. Whanau classes are creating skits on respect for a whole school competition, with the winning whanau class receiving a fish and chip lunch. Awards for respectful actions are also being made throughout the school community.
