Pink Shirt Day 2024
Pink Shirt Day is about working together to stop bullying by celebrating diversity and promoting kindness and inclusiveness.
It’s about creating a community where all people feel safe, valued and respected, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, religion or cultural background.
Pink Shirt Day is the day Aotearoa comes together to take a stand against bullying. The Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand (MHFNZ) has run the campaign since 2012, inspiring tangata to Kōrero Mai, Kōrero Atu, Mauri Tū, Mauri Ora – Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying!
Celebrated annually around the globe, Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink.
Everyone enjoyed Pink Shirt Day especially the staff. Thank you all for your beautiful photos. Lee

Phones Away for the Day
Students have responded very well to the Phones Away for the Day rules. We have noticed much more chatter at breaks and more students playing games. Teachers have also reported that the pouch system is working well so that students remain responsible for their phones.
To help students find things to do at breaks, Ms Grant and Ms Hunt have brought in board games that their Hui mai classes can use. Students are enjoying reliving childhood memories and learning new games!
