Kia ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College
Today we presented the Student Mentor badges at weekly Mass. Last term, Mr Harris held a training day for seniors who wished to take on this important peer support role. The aim of the training was to give the mentors the skills to direct younger students towards the help or services that they need, in a friendly and accessible way. Thank you to the team for the valuable work they are doing.
Today we welcomed artist Ayisha Green to the College for the first of two collaborative workshops, with an emphasis on well being. Year 13 student leaders, Abbey Mabon and Rata McMullan, applied to the Waitaki District Council's 'Creative Communities' for the funding to run the events. Today, 30 students from all year levels who are taking part in the workshop, have been challenged to focus how art can support us with hauora. Thank you Mrs Plunkett for supporting this student led initiative.
Finally, I wish to acknowledge the Community Trust of Otago and the Home and School for their generous combined contribution of over $50,000 to support of our STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) project. Our plan is to invest in equipment and training for the Technology Faculty to support the implementation of the new digital technology curriculum. This an exciting and future-focused initiative.
