 Term 1 context:

Hono Ano - Re-connect

This term, across your learning areas, you will be developing your interpersonal skills, learning about  the role people play in a team or community group, leadership and identifying the leader in you (some of you will be probably growing greatness by discovering the leader in you for the first time while others will be taking more opportunities to enhance their greatness). Whatever stage of development you set sail on, take opportunities to reconnect with yourself and others and grow your potentials!
