Kahui Ako Student Leaders Wellbeing Lockdown Special Hui Toru 😷🙏

Last Thursday the Student Leaders from Kahui Ako Schools meet via zoom to continue with their Student Leaders Wellbeing Huis. I was one of six teachers at the meeting supporting their students. The Kahui Ako Hauora Committee organize these student led huis to gather student voice around the support they need for their wellbeing.

This was the third of four hui our Student Leaders, Nicole, Buster, Ehsani and Isla have attended this year. We have met face to face at Lynfield for the other huis. The students discussed their school values, feedback from the Student Wellbeing survey and how much has been gained as a collective group to move forward with the Hauora Website.

The huis are facilitated by a team of Student Leaders from Lynfield College. They are outstanding young people who work alongside our students with passion and enthusiasm.

The Facilitators presented the Design Theme 'Voyage' for the upcoming website, then showed the students what it will look like.

The goal is to design a website that encompasses the collective ideas from all the schools in Kahui Ako.

During the zoom meeting we went into break out rooms to connect with students from other schools, have a few games of picker wheel and generally have fun.

The meeting was wrapped up with a game of Kahoot.

The ten questions clarified the student learning and contribution so far:

1. Why do we have huis? To create a website.
2. What do young people need? To be happy, healthy and motivated.
