Manawanui Meeting

Each week, a group of our wonderful GATE students meets to get to know each other and chat about settling into Raroa. Some students are new to Raroa and some are Year 8s returning to support our newbies! 

This group is called Manawanui 

- discovering ways to better cope with change and challenge.

This week, we focused on creating connections with people we don't know well and tried out these STEPS:

Smile

Tone of voice

Eye contact
Posture

Space

During the week, the students are going to try out some of the STEPS as they meet new teachers and students.
