  • Hinga atu he tētē kura, ara mai he tētē kura. 

    When one chief falls another rises. 

    Kia ora. The image above is of Queen Elizabeth II when she became Queen.  She was so young - and probably felt she was not ready to lead, but she stepped up and did what she needed to do for her country.  This is something we all have to do (not leading a country, but stepping up), The past 3 years have seen a change in the way education was delivered, it was not a change any of us expected, but it was a change we all had to adapt to. As you near the final term of your journey as Year 8s, take time to reflect on where you are, and whether you have made the space in front of you to step up into.  We end this term reflecting on our context "The anatomy of....." and with a focus on structuring and writing a formal essay. Please remember, with the power invested in me as a teacher, I have bestowed upon you all your pen license.  Use it wisely, use it well, make it neat and check your spell(ing).
