Life Education stopping by one of our local schools!

Our friends from Life Education Counties Manukau were recently at Valley Primary School with their mobile classroom, ready to give the students a few lessons with Harold and specialist teacher Lauren.

The Year 0 to 3 students learnt about how to be a good friend by looking after their own basic needs first (Taha Tinana) and how to be bucket fillers by being kind, caring and inclusive. The Year 4 and 5 students explored what is inside their bodies and the Year 6 students learnt about managing their big emotions and peer pressure.

Great Mahi Valley Primary School and Life Education Counties Manukau! 💪

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
