Mrs Jones’s Shout Out

Another busy and productive week at Mokoia Intermediate School. Good news, Matua Rawiri is on the mend and is recovering at home.

It is wonderful to see a sea of pink today. 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! Well done to all of our students who have participated and made an effort to attend school in pink. It was so lovely to see all the pink and we successfully raised $228.60.

We encourage our students to be active and bike/scooter to school. Regrettably we have had a theft this week. A scooter was taken from the bike park. The thief climbed the fence and took a student’s scooter. The Police have been informed. Can we please ask you to remind your child to lock their bike/scooter to the rack provided. If they forget their lock then lock up with a buddy.

Please visit our Facebook pages for an update on what is happening around school.
