Spotlight on citizenship Editor’s note

Seeing his elderly neighbour struggling with her wheelie bin inspired Year 13 student Thomas James to design a robotic solution to take the bin to and from the kerb, earning him the Prime Minister’s Future Scientist Award. This is one of several great examples in this issue of students leading positive changes in their school or wider community. For example, our story on page 2 looks at how students at Waimea College in Nelson are working with local community groups to improve the habitat of an elusive wetlands bird. Further south in Dunedin, students from Tahuna Normal Intermediate are working with developers to create a vision screening tool that could potentially benefit children throughout New Zealand. We also look at how student voice can improve school culture. Initiatives like Sticks ‘n Stones and Youth Action Squad are seeing students taking the lead for promoting positive school environments. Finally, don’t miss the third video in the Gazette’s latest video series on wellbeing; this one is all about teacher wellbeing.

or the past three years, Year 9 and 10 students at Waimea College have taken part in a cross-curricular enrichment programme, where they can choose to do one module per term for three hours a week. Each module is given a title that captures its essence; for example CREATE is the arts-based module and CHANGE is the module relating to social issues. One of the modules, SAVE (Tiaki) focuses on environmental issues in their own backyard, the Waimea Inlet. Each term a group of Year 9 students learns about migratory birds, water quality, pest control and kaitiakitanga, says Roger Waddell, course leader and science and education for sustainability teacher. He says the module can cross maths, digital technologies, art, science curricula – and even include acrostic poems. The SAVE module follows the inquiry-based Enviroschools Action Learning Cycle. In the final few weeks of each 10week module, students apply their learning and design their own projects, which include engaging with the community. “They start by brainstorming what they see, what they know and how the inlet could be different. “We provide enough basis for them to decide on their action topics. Several process methods are embedded in the pedagogy, such as ‘is it achievable in the timeframe?’ ‘Is it too expensive?’ So it’s them learning how to plan projects,” says Roger. Since the enrichment programme began three years ago, participants in SAVE have been involved in projects including enhancing habitats for whitebait and the banded rail, and predator trapping.

Community bands together The Waimea Plains were occupied by Māori from the 1500s and known as one of the most productive areas in Aotearoa. An intensive programme of land development, which continues to this day, began when Europeans arrived in the 1840s and has impacted and degraded biodiversity and water quality. Students join forces with several community groups or mentors to come up with solutions to some of the problems facing the inlet. Waimea College students have been involved in planting salt-tolerant plants such as ake ake, manuka and flax to improve the habitat and provide coverage for the banded rail. “We are well on the way to a huge area being planted in a site Tasman District Council (TDC) has allowed us to use near the school,” says Roger.

Tracking and trapping Over the past three years, along with TDC and groups like Battle for the Banded Rail, the students have been building a network of predator traps to fill a gap in trapping lines, which now ring Waimea Inlet. “Because we have different groups of students each term, continuity is an issue, so we have recruited a retired teacher to check the lines and upload information onto trap.nz. The students can look up how many rats, stoats and predators have been caught,” says Roger.

Tasman District Council Scientist Trevor James explains whitebait habitat requirements to SAVE students.

“They are learning about digital technologies as well. We do a unit on GPS. When we are down checking the traps, I have my GPS with me and the students have to get from one trap to another using it.” Retired locals from the Keep Richmond Beautiful group help students make tracking tunnels out of Corflute.

Studying water quality About 22 streams flow into the Waimea Inlet. Along with the Waimea River, they drain urban, industrial and rural catchments. Reservoir Creek flows near the college and students walked from sea to source to conduct a water quality study looking at macro-invertebrates in the stream. Some students worked on enhancing whitebait habitats in the stream. Another group of students discovered there was a problem emanating from their school.

Waimaori facilitator Mel McColgan works with students assessing stream health.

“They found that storm runoff from the school pool had been running into the stream so they worked with school management and Tasman District Council. “The process of sorting out the problem had begun anyway and a pipe now takes the runoff to the sewerage area rather than the stormwater area. But I thought the project was so valuable that the students decided to ascertain the variety and number of fish life below and above the stormwater outlet,” says Roger.

Bird watching and games Each week SAVE students head out to the Waimea Inlet with binoculars to see what migratory birds are in the estuary. Early in the year, if they are lucky, they will see godwits getting ready for their long annual migration to Alaska. Some students have been building nesting boxes for kingfishers. “They built them, dug a hole in the bank beside the inlet and put in an entry tunnel. We were probably a bit too late for the laying season, but we are hoping they will be occupied this spring,” says Roger.

Keep Richmond Beautiful mentor Greg Pickford assists students making tracking tunnels.

With an outdoor education background, Roger tries to include a number of experiential games as he believes they are a great way to learn. “We play predator/prey-type games – the banded rail versus stoats and rats. It works on the emotional side rather than just reading it in a book.”

Enriched and empowered Learning through applied, relevant, contextual activities is key to the enrichment programme. Roger says the students complete the module feeling they can make a difference. “A big focus of what we do is around climate change. I think it’s really important to put a positive spin on it – they can do something about it. Empowerment comes from looking at their own world and deciding on an action project that makes a difference.” Please note the printed version of this article displays an image of a weka, not a banded rail.

“Empowerment comes from looking at their own world and deciding on an action project which makes a difference.” Roger Waddell

» I thought it would be a fun way to learn about our environment and how we can help it. Elise » I wanted to learn about New Zealand’s native bush and animals and their threats. Grace » I wanted to learn about native plants and birds and take action by trapping and planting around the Waimea Inlet. Amelia What did you like the most and why? » I loved the action project because we got to choose an area to work in: you could do something in planting, wildlife, marine life, the environment. We also got to put our learning into practice. Isobel » My favourite part was the practical things we did every Wednesday. We could either bike, walk or run down to the Waimea Inlet and got to see all the things we had learnt in class demonstrated in a practical way. This included placing traps, looking at pest footprints and planting. Grace What were some of the key things you learned? » I learned a lot about migratory birds and the flight paths they take. I also learned how our school was contributing to pollution both positively and negatively. The main issue was how the waste water from our pool was going through the storm water pipes instead of the sewage. We now have a temporary pipe and are working on placing a stable long-lasting pipe. It was great to put our learning into practice in this SAVE module. Elise

Developers of a vision screening programme that is already providing a rich learning opportunity for a group of Dunedin students hope that it will ultimately benefit children and their learning throughout Aotearoa.

ision 20/20 Project is a multidisciplinary research collaboration between Otago Polytechnic, Otago University’s School of Medicine and staff and pupils at Tahuna Normal Intermediate School in Dunedin. Since August last year, students from the school have been collaborating with the team to co-design a child-to-child eye screening toolkit. By the time the project finishes at the end of 2020, up to 600 students from the school will have been involved. “This is a fantastic opportunity for the Year 7 students to be part of a real-life STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, maths) activity that sees their feedback being adapted in the subsequent iterations of the design process,” says Karen Parker, Year 7 dean and a facilitator for Vision 20/20.

Tawhiri and Brook run an eye test using a high contrast eye test vision chart.

“From a teaching point of view, one of the biggest benefits is the kids can see the suggestions they make actually happen in the real world.” Karen Parker

Student feedback Mary Butler, Professor of Occupational Therapy at Otago Polytechnic, and some of her students introduced the first prototype of the Child to Child Vision Screening Toolkit. It was clear from the start that the students had a great understanding of the design process, says Karen.

“When they first began, they got into pairs and one person had to hold both the flipchart and the marking sheet, which was difficult to do. They also observed a potential problem of people memorising the flip chart, then reading it out to other children before their tests,” she says. Students’ suggestions to improve the toolkit included: » Make the pages thicker, make it easier to navigate and know which way to turn the pages. » Make the instruction simpler and clearer. » Use colour coding for the results booklet and flipchart. » Have the recording sheet match the test i.e. if it says test right eye, start the recording sheet with right eye, not left » Work in groups of three instead of pairs. gazette.education.govt.nz

Rich language and learning Throughout the iterations of the testing kit, the students gained first-hand experience with fair testing and the science behind vision and the eye. They first used a letter chart to test their eyesight, but this was replaced with tumbling E charts, which prevented children from memorising letters. The tumbling E also shows how the eye is behaving when it is reading key information “From a teaching point of view, one of the biggest benefits is the kids can see the suggestions they make actually happen in the real world. It was great that they could see changes next time it came back: it added value to what we do in the classroom. “I think the rich language the kids are developing really shows that they know the language of technology,” says Karen.

Learning about vision This year’s Year 7 students are now providing feedback on the design of a three-part teaching module to increase awareness of vision health and science.

“The modules include learning about myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and colour blindness, how they affect vision, and the health perspective of ‘what if I had that, how would it affect my life?’,” says Karen.

Value of co-design Mary hopes the vision testing toolkit and module that she and her students developed and co-designed with Tahuna Normal Intermediate will be informative and engaging for New Zealand teachers to use in the curriculum. “We know that we are going to have to come up with something that is not done anywhere else in the world because New Zealand is not a wealthy country. “We have reviewed all of the literature and nobody else in the world has done this childto-child vision screening concept,” says Mary.

Learning curve The 20/20 project has been a learning curve for everybody involved and Mary says they are currently reflecting on how they can make the co-design process equal and genuine between health and education providers.

“We are really trying to break new ground. We have been so lucky with the buy-in from Tahuna’s principal Tony Hunter and the whole staff. More than any scientific discovery, the value of co-designing the prototype with the students has been that it engages them in a conversation we might not have had. “I would like to take the toolkit to the next level and figure out if this is what teachers really want. We are still integrating feedback from the teachers at Tahuna and it may be that the final toolkit is quite different. We want to create something that is so interesting to teachers and children that it will become embedded in their curriculum,” explains Mary.

Ongoing testing This year’s cohort of Year 7 students at the school will continue testing the toolkit – and their eyesight, says Karen. “What normally happens is they have the vision testing at Year 7 and there’s no real follow-up. Classroom teachers don’t know who gets the referral letter and what happens if they go to an optometrist.

“It’s a whole research project that goes from the child not being able to see through to the child getting glasses, the teacher being aware that they need glasses and leading to an improvement in their learning. “Originally we were looking at ‘if children can’t see, how can they learn?’ But on the other side, we’ve got these children that can’t afford them. Some parents had no experience going to an optician; they didn’t know they could use their Community Services card to support that,” she explains.

Vision screening gap In 2018, Mary and a team of occupational therapy students at Otago Polytechnic discovered that about 18 per cent of Year 9 students from Dunedin’s Kaikorai Valley College needed to be referred to an optometrist. She was surprised as these students would have been tested when they were aged 11. “It seems that parents aren’t taking their children to the optometrist. We have done more research with parents that indicates that many of them are confused and don’t know how to work with and trust optometrists,” comments Mary. This year a team from Otago Polytechnic is following up the 25 children from Tahuna Normal Intermediate who were identified as possibly needing glasses in 2019. “We will try to ensure that all of these children will be looked after by the end of this whole process.”

gazette.education.govt.nz

Impact of vision on learning Globally, there is little research done to understand the ways low vision impacts learning. Professor Kelechi Ogbuehi, Optometry and Vision Sciences at Otago University’s School of Medicine is beginning a research project to establish a turning point in eyesight level when learning starts to deteriorate.

Zaakira records the results as a student does an eye test.

“I want to create awareness of the need for vision screening in children. As we have unpacked this, we have realised the issue is huge. It gets harder and harder for children with untreated low vision as they go through the education system as more and more reading is required,” says Mary. She wants teachers to be aware of the signs of children who may be struggling with low vision. “I hear anecdotal evidence of children, particularly boys, who are off the chart in terms of behaviour, then they get their glasses and just settle down. My angle is that if children don’t have glasses when they need them, it seems very obvious their learning is going to be compromised,” says Mary. Mary and her team would love to hear from teachers who are interested in knowing more about the Vision 20/20 Project and trialling the toolkits: mary.butler@op.ac.nz.

COPING WITH DISASTER

Finding safety at school after a disaster Teachers and schools can help whānau and communities to recover from disasters, according to two major pieces of research which focused on Christchurch schools after the earthquakes.

r Maureen Mooney from the Joint Centre for Disaster Research, School of Psychology, Massey University, was lead researcher in a study about school communities and how they contribute to the way children cope with a disaster. She has worked in disaster and war zones around the world and says that when she began researching the roles of schools in helping communities recover from crises in 2011, there were only two papers on the subject globally that examined how children were asked how they coped. “Children’s cultural and community setting can facilitate or impede positive adaptation post a disaster,” writes Maureen. Her research was carried out among two secondary schools and five primary schools in Christchurch. She found that in the chaotic and uncertain post-earthquake environment, schools were a familiar supportive context, providing coping assistance, safety and solidarity that enabled supportive relationships and contributed to the children’s recovery. “I interviewed the children, parents, teachers and principals and then started to see that there are inter-dependent systems which provide frameworks – like a woven quilt around these children,” she says.

What helps children to cope? “Most children are going to get through and I wanted to establish what it is in the environment that enables children, families and communities be able to cope.” Maureen found that during the hundreds of aftershocks experienced in Christchurch, there would be small clusters of children who coped well very quickly. Those children who felt a bit ‘wobbly’ referenced those who were coping - teachers and peers. Teachers monitored the children based on their developmental needs and normalised some behaviours such as letting humour explode when it would usually be calmed down, or allowing children to keep their phones in their pockets so they could contact parents if an earthquake happened during schooltime.

Education Gazette | 17 August 2020

“All of these interactive systems were working while the child was still processing everything and those systems stepped up a little more. Teachers scaffolded all of those processes around the children and the children were doing this as well, so they were working together. When the systems don’t work, the children can become very vulnerable.” Children in the Massey study reported using multiple strategies including positive reframing, problem solving and focusing on getting on with things. Those who coped well were flexible in their use of strategies, which promoted their experiences of agency and optimism. Those who didn’t cope well displayed a more rigid use of a few strategies such as avoidance and withdrawal and seemed to have little capacity for emotional regulation. “The children who didn’t cope well were in the minority throughout the period the research was conducted. The study suggests that children can learn effective coping skills and could benefit from interventions that support and coach effective coping strategies,” writes Maureen.

Teachers’ coping skills Most teachers Maureen spoke to in her research said they had a real sense of responsibility to their children. “They would say to me: ‘Inside things were exploding, but on the outside I was calm and when an aftershock hit, would even have a little chuckle and say, ‘That was a bit shaky’.’ It’s not all doom and gloom, but we’re in a country where we’re going to have disasters – we’re in the middle of a pandemic, we’re going to have more extreme weather situations; and there should be more formal training and support for teachers and principals on how to support children and themselves during a crisis context.” Maureen says teachers and principals would often get quite emotional when asked how they coped. Helping children in a post-disaster setting requires support and training and there are many programmes that can be used in schools to help with this, she says.

Connection and resilience Schools provide safety, communication and connection at times of stress and disaster. “By being a mirror of good coping, a school can actually support others learning how to cope. That went out into wider circles in the community. For example, one school had a lot of liquefaction. They got all the parents and kids in and did a working bee, provided some food and people had an opportunity to connect. That was extremely important bonding for that community early on,” says Maureen. As a comparison, Maureen studied some students at Wellington schools. When she returned to the Christchurch students eight months after the initial research, she found they were more resilient than the Wellington students and had transferred their coping skills to other things like competing in a swimming competition, or sitting exams.

Schools as community hubs Professor Carol Mutch at the University of Auckland has come to similar conclusions after a six-year research project carried out with five Canterbury schools throughout the Christchurch earthquakes between 2012 and 2018. Her research shows that rather than being peripheral players, schools functioned as community hubs; with principals as crisis managers, teachers as first responders and children as active citizens. “As a former teacher and school leader myself, I saw that schools had huge expectations placed on their shoulders in terms of supporting not only their students but their students’ families and the wider community. “But despite what was going on in their own lives, they fronted up day after day with quiet determination,” says Carol.

Tamariki talk about coping In 2011/12, Dr Maureen Mooney led research on how children address adversity by using their capacities to adapt. Here are some of the responses Maureen got from children aged five to 15 (names changed). » I drawed a rainbow so that’s the thinking I’m feeling in my head… just hide under a table and then I just get one of my friends to talk about something nice and then one of us, a friend and me just think of it after. (Amelia, 5 years) » I used to scream but now Dad said not to scream because it’s ok, and it makes it a bit less scary… After the first few, you were gonna scream but then you had to think, it’s not going to make it any better. (Abby, 10 years) » Um, (pause) I just really think about positive thoughts [when there is an earthquake]… like I remember Angus [dog]. The first time I got him, he was so cute and I was really happy. (Kevin, 10 years) » We haven’t had one in a long time… on Friday there was a [Mw] 5 I think. I was at school. I was just about to leave but then it started shaking and some people were fine with it, didn’t even feel it, and I was, I–I was just screaming out for Mum. I didn’t know what to do. (Ann, 9 years) » It’s the little things that really count. You don’t need power [electricity] or anything – as long as your family’s safe. [My priorities] have really shifted. (Pippa, 15 years) » I think, like everyone felt a way of how to how deal with earthquakes, and that it was very stressful, and maybe they’re applying that subconsciously to other situations as a coping mechanism. (Pippa, 15 years) » You work out in life there are some things you’ve got no control over, but you can still affect your day-to-day basis from what happens. (Blake, 15 years) » They [teachers] remain calm and that’s good ‘cause you almost see them as role models, and when they’re calm you almost feel you should be calm. And when you’re calm, other people are calm. (Neil, 15 years) Dr Maureen Mooney’s research paper, ‘The school community contributes to how children cope effectively with a disaster’, is published in Pastoral Care in Education. Professor Carol Mutch’s research paper, ‘Children researching their own experiences: Lessons from the Canterbury earthquakes’ can be found at NZCER.

Redcliffs reborn The official opening of Redcliffs School in June was an emotional event. “At the opening, the staff were really moved. They were just so proud to have overcome so much. Our kids just sung their hearts out and felt really proud to have been part of something so special where you keep being determined to do the right thing,” says Rose McInerny, who has been deputy principal and principal during the long journey to reopen the school in the Christchurch seaside suburb. Over the past nine years, classes have taken place in the local church hall, family lounges, Sumner School and finally van Asch Deaf Education Centre. So how did the school manage to continue to teach students and hold the community together?

Sticking to the basics “First and foremost was focusing on what’s really most important at the time. For us it was really sticking to the basics of great teaching and learning, and engagement with our families – and keeping things really positive. “We had an amazing board who took up a huge amount of work to do all the work behind the scenes so the teachers could be freed up to do their job. Being dislocated, it was quite an effort to keep up lots of normal type things. But we had so many community events and just tried to create lots of occasions where children and families could get together and keep that real sense of community,” says Rose.

Music, sport and adventure Music, sports and adventure are all important at Redcliffs School and even when students were dispersed across different sites or working in small makeshift classrooms, these were continued. “We’re a really musical school and all our music teachers kept coming – we just found spaces for them. We had productions and cultural and musical festivals so we really kept going a lot of things that could have gone by the wayside, because they are things the community really values and loves. “It’s quite an outdoorsy community and sports and adventures are important, so keeping things like a triathlon were really important as well. While in the first couple of years, we didn’t have as much pressure on the academic side of things, we kept a really normalised programme as well, because kids seek routine.”

Communication and mindfulness Everyone in the school community wanted to stay together and the wellbeing of teachers and students was paramount. Teachers were also involved in collaborative decision making as much as possible. “First we asked the staff: ‘what’s going to really help you manage to do your job in these trying circumstances?’ They wanted us to remove any unnecessary stress. So, we really tried to remove anything that wasn’t necessary. We still had meetings but we didn’t have any unnecessary meetings. “There was a really joint vision that this was such a beautiful school, great kids, great whānau. To do that was going to take extra work, but how could we make it as positive and enriching as we could for us as a team?” Regular mindfulness training for teachers and students was scheduled into the timetable and communication was key, says Rose. “We were so open and honest about what we were going through, while trying not to burden staff with things they didn’t need to be burdened with. We always kept our eye on the goal to return our school to the community. That was the ongoing focus – along with including people with the decision making and making it as fun, vibrant and positive as possible,” says Rose.

Resilience and routine Two weeks before moving into the new Redcliffs School, Covid-19 and school closures happened. But Rose reckons the skills and resilience learned over the past nine years helped them cope. “We were half packed. We’d had so many things happen along the way and this was like reeeeally?! I think we managed because of that calm measured approach and keeping business as usual as much as possible; and listening and looking after people. “I think the staff are really resilient. They came back from Covid and we were straight back into it knowing we had a move a month later and to settle kids back into normal life and living. Instead of having two weeks to move, we had one day. Staff just got on with the business of getting it done, helping in their own time. It speaks of the spirit of the school.” gazette.education.govt.nz

COPING WITH DISASTER

Redcliffs School’s principal Rose McInerny is thrilled to be leading the school into a new era in its new facility and location.

Support and resources available Substantial support was provided to school communities across Christchurch following the earthquakes. A series of articles in a New Zealand Psychological Society Bulletin outline the Ministry of Education’s responses to events at the time. These responses were informed by Traumatic Incident Service principles developed in consultation with teachers and principals. A raft of practical and psychosocial support was developed, including: » Education Welfare Response which worked across sectors to assist with a wide range of things like property, payroll, resourcing, leadership, special education provision, and communication » Establishment of Learning Hubs to support learning when students couldn’t attend their regular school or centre » Longer-term support with a focus on teacher and student wellbeing.

gazette.education.govt.nz

Following on from these responses several initiatives were established, including: » All Right? – launched in 2013, to support Cantabrians to think about and improve their mental health and wellbeing. All Right? is led by the Canterbury District Health Board and the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand. » Mana Ake – Stronger for Tomorrow to provide mental health and wellbeing support for children in primary school Years 1–8 across Canterbury. This service is supported by Ministries of Health and Education and the Canterbury District Health Board.

How to access support In addition to these resources there are other supports and resources available to schools and early learning services to help them at times of emergency management and response. These can be accessed via the Ministry of Education website and also through Ministry regional offices, including the Traumatic Incident teams. The Ministry of Education can provide formal training and support for teachers and principals. This support can be accessed through the Traumatic Incident Service, 0800 TI TEAM.

WELLBEING

Students lead the way to positive school cultures Students are a school’s most powerful resource when it comes to creating a welcoming environment.

e’ve all heard the stories, we’ve all seen the statistics: bullying is negatively impacting on the lives and learning of as many as one in three young people. But Sticks ’n Stones, a youthled organisation committed to “making bullying a thing of the past”, is an example of how young people can lead change and play a significant role in creating a safer, kinder Aotearoa. These rangatahi have created two student action packs, one for primary and one for secondary schools, which harness the power of student voice, and set out strategies for student-led bullying prevention and response initiatives in schools. These will soon be available on the Bullying-Free NZ website bullyingfree.nz. Packs contain three strategies for making positive change: Spread the word; Take the lead, and Make a change. Each strategy is supported by games and activities. Sticks ‘n Stones knows these work because they’ve already been run by students in New Zealand schools. Key messages include ‘Kindness costs nothing but means everything’ and ‘He kōtuinga mahi iti, he hua pai-ā rau: Small ripples create big waves’. The design process reflects the ethos of Sticks ’n Stones: that young people are key to informing positive change in schools and the wider community. “Young people made all the decisions from content to colour, layout and design,” says Sticks ’n Stones co-founder and chief executive, Karla Sanders. “It was a wonderful and practical way of working, and the Ministry was so open and real about that approach. It was an incredible experience for all of us. “Without young people being involved, there is no way we can change what is happening, we have to do it with them. You can talk at young people as much as you like, but if we want to change attitudes or behaviour, we have to listen to them.”

Some of the key messages of the Sticks ’n Stones Student Action packs.

Especially when it comes to wellbeing, she says. “What we know is that more and more young people turn to their peers when they’re in distress, so if we can empower them to know what to do, they don’t have to hold onto this,” says Karla.

“When we talk to young people who feel isolated, we have learned that it’s the smallest acts of kindness that make them feel connected. “The part that you played in changing someone’s day with a small act of kindness let them know that they’re not alone, and they’re less likely to feel helpless. When we have most students doing this, what we create is a school where everyone feels safe to be themselves and can take risks without fear of the social consequences,” she says.

Words can hurt Sticks ’n Stones started in 2013, with a group of 30 volunteers from five schools across Central Otago. Sticks ‘n Stones now delivers bullyingprevention training to almost 800 young people aged eight to 18 each year, and creates bullyingprevention tools and resources designed by young people, for young people. The organisation has also launched an app, ICON, to tackle online negativity; undertaken peer-to-peer research into bullying, and partnered with Facebook to share the Sticks ’n Stones advocacy programme nationwide. Sticks ’n Stones was named in response to the saying, ‘sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me’. “The truth is, words do hurt,” say the team at Sticks ‘n Stones. “We have seen first-hand the harm that words can do. We are a new generation, with a new way of communicating, and with that comes new problems. It is so important that young people are actively and meaningfully involved in developing solutions and preventing harm.”

Making a difference Dunedin nursing student Abby Golden, 19, has been with Sticks ’n Stones since she was in Year 10. Abby is now co-chair of the Sticks ’n Stones board, as well as continuing to help out with fundraisers and the ambassador programme. “I can honestly say that the work I do with Sticks ’n Stones has shaped me into the person I am today. I have gained so much confidence in myself and my abilities, and I’ve discovered a passion for working in my community, helping and advocating for others, which in part is why I chose nursing. I’ve been able to work with young people from across New Zealand as well as some incredible youthfocused organisations and professionals who are committed to preventing bullying, both online and off,” she says. gazette.education.govt.nz

Simply inspiring someone else to take the lead in their school and aspire to make a change makes a difference. “I think that’s the ultimate goal. Of course, there’s the aim to create a bullying-free New Zealand where we’re all accepted and respected for who we are, but if I can inspire one other young person to step up, take action and really make a difference and then they can do the same for another, and another, then we’ve got a chain of young people taking ownership and speaking up to make this world a better place.”

STEAM Thomas James’s robotic solution earned him the 2019 Prime Minister’s Future Scientist Prize.

Robotic rubbish bins earn student top prize Education Gazette sat down with Thomas James, the winner of the 2019 Prime Minister’s Future Scientist Prize, to talk about his design journey and future aspirations.

Year 13 student from Burnside High School in Christchurch says the devil is in the details when it comes to solving some of the world’s biggest problems – and he’s taking them on one rubbish bin at a time. Thomas James won the 2019 Prime Minister’s Future Scientist Prize for his innovative robotic design that helps older people and people with disabilities take wheelie bins to and from the kerb. The prize is awarded to a Year 12 or Year 13 student who has undertaken an outstanding science, technology, mathematics or engineering project. The prize is worth $50,000 to support the recipient’s tertiary education. Thomas intends to use this to support him through his tertiary study at the University of Canterbury, where he is set to study mechanical or electrical engineering.

A project two years in the making

it as simple as possible, without too many moving parts.” Talking about the process of trial and error, Thomas says the scientific method is extremely important and applicable to any type of problem solving. “You can apply that same philosophy of iteration, re-evaluation and trying to find the best solution, to lots of different things.”

Support from teachers and industry invaluable Thomas says the support from teachers and industry has been invaluable to his project and his learning. “At school I do study the three main sciences. But I haven’t really taken digital technology subjects – I haven’t really had the need because it’s a hobby I enjoy in my spare time,” says Thomas. He says it was especially cool to see teachers supporting his passion, even though he wasn’t in their classes.

After noticing his elderly neighbour and grandparents struggling with their wheelie bins, Thomas committed himself to designing a mechanical solution.

“I think it’s really awesome when teachers are so encouraging and openminded, and give up their lunch times for you to go talk to them and ask questions – even when they don’t have the answers.

The result is a robot that raises the front of a wheelie bin off the ground, wheels it to the kerb for emptying, and then returns it back to the house or storage space.

“It’s just that recognition that even those who aren’t taking your subject, are still passionate about it.”

The design and build has taken Thomas two years and involved a lot of technology and design – neither of which are subjects he is studying at school. “I like to set out to solve a problem that I see around me. It’s a passion I have,” says Thomas. “It was quite a long design process, thinking of ideas and then eliminating them and trying to find the best solution. You want to keep

Education Gazette | 17 August 2020

Thomas also reached out to industry for information on existing services, and advice on his designs – especially when figuring out which motors to use. “I think it’s just important to know that if you’re willing to ask, there’s always someone there who is willing to help you out.”

Making small changes to solve the big problems Asked whether or not he has a specific passion point, Thomas says his interests are broad and he keeps a notebook of all the problems he sees. gazette.education.govt.nz

Maths and statistics teacher takes top prize

Dr Michelle Dalrymple believes in supporting students to take risks in mathematics.

Dr Michelle Dalrymple, mathematics and statistics faculty head at Cashmere High School in Christchurch, is the 2019 Prime Minister’s Science Teacher Winner. The first mathematics and statistics teacher to win the award, Michelle says her subjects are foundational to the rest of the sciences and it’s good to see the awards recognise that. Michelle uses engaging and novel ways to connect her students and other teachers into mathematics and statistics. Her nomination for the prize says her teaching stands out because it is strongly based on cutting-edge research, while maintaining originality, creativity and learning which is relevant and inspiring for her students. “Maths has an extra layer of anxiety, and for students to be able to learn, they need to feel safe, they need to trust me, and enjoy being in a class with me.” She says whanaungatanga, or teaching through relationships, is a crucial step towards building that trust and supporting her students to take risks, to make mistakes and to not give up. A self-labelled maths and statistics geek, Michelle says she loves the things that involve people and real-world applications. “The ease is that those real-life applications can come through when you can tell those little stories, and show where the numbers are going – like the physics behind a really thrilling roller-coaster ride.”

2020 Awards The 2020 Prime Minister’s Science Prizes application process opened Monday 3 August 2020 and will close on Friday 9 October 2020. There are five prizes in total with a combined value of $1 million. If you have any questions, contact Debbie at: pmscienceprizes@royalsociety.org.nz. Find out more at www.pmscienceprizes.org.nz.

“Science helps us understand our world and beyond, and that’s got to be crucial. It’s so important for students to be mathematically, statistically, and scientifically literate so that they can make wise decisions, function, participate and contribute to society.” Michelle’s $150,000 prize will go towards the rebuild of Cashmere High School’s mathematics and statistics block.

“I think it’s really awesome when teachers are so encouraging and open-minded, and give up their lunch times for you to go talk to them and ask questions – even when they don’t have the answers.” Thomas James “I don’t think there’s a trend to them, but I think they need to start at the smaller scale.” Linking back to his wheelie bin robot, Thomas says he likes to solve a problem that could have a flow-on effect to bigger issues. “If we can get people to use their waste management systems, that’s going to prevent their rubbish from ending up in the oceans. That small little thing right at the start, is helping that big idea of pollution and rubbish. “I believe in stopping things at the source instead of looking at that big picture, where it gets really overwhelming.” For other young scientists who have ideas but don’t know where to start, Thomas says “just do it”. “Find what you’re passionate about, and just go searching, ask questions and don’t be afraid to ask for help.” gazette.education.govt.nz

Children take the reins at digital summit A Children’s Summit has been a real shot in the arm for digital technology at St Mary’s School in Gore.

Knowledge cascade

“In a school setting, part of the learning is an expectation that they can transfer that knowledge/practice to another group of learners. I suppose it is like tuakana teina but the facilitation can come from anyone, not necessarily older to younger,” explains Annie.

It was initially planned to hold two summits but flooding in February and the Covid-19 lockdown resulted in one event held in May.

“The students were outstanding: better than the teachers, more relaxed – they didn’t feel as nervous about making a mistake. Kids have the ability to know it’s not the end of the world; they just say: ‘no, you can just restart that’.”

Children’s Summit designed along the lines of a conference, saw teachers stepping back while tamariki took the lead in a series of workshops. It was based on Google Summits that the school’s teachers have attended in recent years to upskill themselves in the use of digital technology.

“The intention was that after working with expert facilitators and teachers, students would run workshops and sessions, but children quickly became the experts and led the workshops at the one and only summit,” says Annie Nelson, principal of St Mary’s, Gore. Teachers and students worked with trainers from PLD (professional learning and development) providers Using Technology Better the day before the summit. They learned how to run workshops, restart and debug machines and upskill in areas such as Minecraft and Bee-bots.

Cascade learning is a learning framework used in the business world and teacher training overseas. The intention is to teach one person, who will cascade that knowledge/practice through an organisation.

Tamariki in charge Following the training workshop, the children’s knowledge and expertise was so good, they were able to take charge. Around 220 students from Years 1–6 at St Mary’s were involved in the summit. The student leaders came from Years 3–6. “When you know you have to tell somebody something afterwards, you tend to listen twice as hard and I think that’s where cascade is really important. “There would be one large room for Bee-bots with small groups working together.

in coding it’s immediate, and for the kids to accept their mistakes and that they can take help, is amazing.

“Some of the kids were chosen to lead Minecraft Education. They had the leadership and training to teach adults in Minecraft,” says Annie.

“The external advisor was saying: ‘If you haven’t failed, we’re not doing it right, you need to fail at least 20 times in here today’.

Dynamic changed Teachers had to work out what their role was in the new dynamic as they were put into groups and given tasks to do at the workshops. “It was like a physical thing: the teacher would be in the room but didn’t physically know where they should be.

“Coding was a specific skill, problem solving was another and computational thinking was taught through the Minecraft workshop. We’ve already broken down the progress levels for the students and one is: ‘I can create simple algorithms to complete a task with or without using a digital device’,” says Annie.

Shot in the arm

“They worked as equals in that space. The child being able to talk to a teacher about learning is what we always want and it’s just nice that sometimes you can tip that balance and it can be the teacher sharing learning with the child.”

New skills: learning to fail The Children’s Summit has resulted in students and teachers learning a wide range of skills from coding and computational thinking to leadership and collaboration. “At St Mary’s, we say: ‘good today, better tomorrow’, which means if you make a mistake it’s always forgivable. When you make a mistake

The Children’s Summit has helped school staff gain confidence; and in the classroom, teachers and students are learning alongside each other more. It was planned to continue to run workshops each Friday in term 2. “They’ve continued with whānau grouping once a week for digital technologies, and teachers are present in that space, but kids are still leading. “This has been a real shot in the arm for digital technology at St Mary’s. Coming back from lockdown, it has been a brilliant way to bring us back together as a team and remind us: this is who we are and this is how we speak to each other, and there’s room for everybody to lead here.”

Students who led workshops at the Children’s Summit share their experiences. » I was a leader at Bee-bots. It was cool to work with younger kids. It felt good to be the expert. I learnt that you can’t just tell the younger kids everything, you have to let them figure it out for themselves. I had to show instead of tell sometimes. It was nice to be in the teacher role because we weren’t the ones getting told what to do. I think it is good for kids to learn from other kids because it’s easier for them to understand when it comes from a peer. I liked the Bee-bots best because I felt like an expert! I was confident in using them. When I teach someone else it helps me understand how things work better. Anya (Year 5)

» I was a leader at Makey Makey. I learnt that I need to have selfcontrol and not get frustrated when they don’t understand what to do. I helped them to try again. I showed the younger children what to do and talked about how to work the Makey Makey as we went through. Leading by teaching the younger children helped me understand more about the Makey Makey. Maddie (Year 5) » My leading experience was good. It was fun leading Scratch Jr. I learnt that I needed to talk through the steps slowly and you need to keep it easy.

One week never to be forgotten “Truly understanding the events of the Holocaust can be a very confronting and emotional experience for people, so we believe it is important for educators to take care of students’ emotional wellbeing,” begins a new teaching guide prepared by the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand.

GROWING UNDERSTANDING

he findings of a 2019 survey by the Holocaust Centre (HCNZ) of 1,000 New Zealanders exposed a need to broaden people’s understanding through education. The Just One Week campaign encourages schools to give students an understanding of what happened during the Holocaust and discuss themes relating to discrimination. Undertaken by the Astor Foundation/HCNZ under the direction of historian Professor Paul Moon last year, the survey found that 70 per cent of people had little or no knowledge of the Holocaust; 57 per cent couldn’t identify how many Jews were murdered, and 34 per cent believed the Holocaust was exaggerated, or a myth.

Meaningful teaching More than 70 schools had signed up to the Just One Week campaign, launched in June, within a week of its launch, says Nicola Bain, who created the teaching resource for levels 4 and 5 in the social sciences and English curriculum on behalf of HCNZ.

“There was a previous campaign which called for just one hour of Holocaust teaching per year, but this new initiative seeks to move from a token acknowledgment of the Holocaust to more meaningful teaching. It enables educators to give their students a solid foundation of what happened during the Holocaust in a way that builds empathy,” she says. Nicola, who is an English and media studies teacher at Albany Senior High School, was part of a group of New Zealand educators, sponsored by the Holocaust Centre, who travelled to Israel in 2017 to learn about teaching the Holocaust within international contexts at Yad Vashem, World Holocaust Remembrance Centre.   “The study that I did was around how to tell the stories of people safely. It can be overwhelming, and it can be a bit dangerous, in terms of learning about the Holocaust,” she says.

Understanding biases The three teaching units of four one-hour lessons can stand alone or be taught consecutively and are designed to lead students safely in and out of the sobering subject matter. The aim of the resource is to encourage learners to understand their biases and develop empathy for others – no matter who they are. The harrowing stories of Freda and Bob Narev and Clare Galambos Winter, who survived the Holocaust and made Aotearoa home after World War II, are at the heart of Just One Week. “The first lesson barely deals with the Holocaust – it deals with life before – what was happening contextually across Europe; also what was happening in the lives of these individual families. It provides some context into who they are – all these people who were murdered or held in concentration camps went to the beach, had jobs, did the kind of stuff we do,” says Nicola.

“At the end of it, students are asked to reflect on learning all this story and history: why should we remember?” Nicola Bain

Choiceless choices Lessons two and three largely deal with the experiences of Freda, Bob and Clare during the Holocaust and feature real-life scenarios where students are asked what they would do in particular situations – choiceless choices. “Freda’s family, who were in Vilna, now in Lithuania, knew the Germans were coming. They had heard the stories and knew it wasn’t going to be great.

“When societies accept that some people are worth less than others, communities stop standing up to ethnic hatred, and atrocities such as the Holocaust and other genocides are able to occur,” he says.

Teaching the Holocaust to history students Justin Thompson teaches at Oxford Area School in North Canterbury and will be using the new resources with his Year 11 history class this year.

“Freda didn’t look Jewish at all – blonde hair, blue eyes. Do you leave one child with a family friend who owes them a favour, or does the whole family go, or do they try and go somewhere else? There are several scenarios as things progressively get worse and we ask students to walk in their shoes,” explains Nicola.

“I will be using the Powerpoints and Testimony, as well as using some of the activities as revision for my Year 11s leading into their examinations. “I think all students should learn about this topic and this Just One Week Campaign has really given an easy entrance into the content that is quite vast and intimidating to navigate safely for teachers and students. Nicola has so professionally created a series of lessons we can take parts of and use as it suits our Ako.”

The fourth lesson focuses on life after the Holocaust for people who finally made it to New Zealand, where Bob and Freda met and married. “At the end of it, students are asked to reflect on learning all this story and history: why should we remember? It finishes on that note of understanding and reflecting on why it’s important to understand and empathise with people that might be different to you, or are experiencing persecution.”

Lens of history vital With the increase of ‘fake news’ and misinformation in society and the current global turmoil, there is an increased need to develop young people’s ability to discern and interpret information and understand the present day through the lens of historic events, says Nicola.

The Holocaust was a landmark event, which will hopefully never be repeated and Justin says it’s important to teach the topic safely. By using stories and testimonies, students can understand the raw emotions of the people involved. “The issues around hate or anti-Semitism are so important to be taught and acknowledged as they are occurring today – even being given voice by world leaders. Students need to understand what this all means and why it is important to care for all.

“Particularly with social media, we live in a clickbait/misinformation society. People will see a social media post and don’t necessarily read beyond it.”

“The Holocaust is an example of when evil wins out for a time. It was a systematic extermination of a race of people – never before had it been documented or on this scale. We need to remember so it never happens again,” says Justin.

Auckland solicitor and Holocaust survivor Bob Narev says future generations must be taught that allowing hate to grow can normalise racism.

Anne Frank’s Diary in te reo In June 2019, one of the world’s most famous books, Anne Frank’s Diary, was published in te reo Māori. The production of the translation of Anne Frank’s Diary: Te Rātaka a Tētahi Kōhine, was a labour of love for 92-year-old Dutchman Boyd Klap, who raised $100,000 for the project. Translator, Te Haumihiata Mason (Tuhoe) tried to capture the voice of a girl facing discrimination in the 1940s. She told Stuff that she had grown up in the 1950s and faced many of the things Anne Frank faced, such as discrimination and food scarcities. The translation was underwritten by the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand, which also wants to gift a free copy to every school in Aotearoa. “Boyd Klap visited Parihaka in 2017 and at one point a kaumatua asked him if anybody had considered having the diary translated into te reo Māori. Boyd thought it was a great idea, discussed it with us and we thought

this was an ideal opportunity to reach a different audience within New Zealand,” says Chris Harris, chief executive of the Holocaust Centre. “New Zealand has three official languages and to be able to have this book, which is such a treasure, in te reo, will mean that we can reach young Māori who may think this is a book about a young girl living in Holland and has nothing to do with them.”

Relevant today Anne Frank’s story is as relevant today as it was then due to the rise in anti-Semitism and the deeper understanding communities have of racism, sexism and homophobia, he says. “Anne Frank’s Diary can help address some of these issues because we have seen a young innocent girl, and her family, suffer the worst of discrimination and prejudice,” says Chris. “She never lived to tell her story, but like her, there are still people in society who feel they have to hide away – that if they speak up, they could become victims of discrimination, violence or even death.” The translation has been warmly received by Māori readers. An ebook has been created and some teaching notes are also available.

CYBER SAFETY

Youth Action Squad: empowering young people to stay safe online Online bullying is a serious problem in our schools and communities. How can schools empower young people to keep themselves safe in cyber space?

oung people’s lives are a complex combination of online and offline worlds, and the task of keeping them safe can feel overwhelming. However, it’s becoming clear that young people are very capable of doing a lot to keep themselves and each other safe online. This was illustrated effectively during lockdown, a time when our real world slowed into stillness and our virtual lives became frenetic, and a group of young New Zealanders stepped up to support their schools and peers online. A team of 35 rangatahi known as the Youth Action Squad (YAS) devoted themselves to turning the tide on cyber bullying. They have already been working with online safety organisation Netsafe. “We had assumed there would be very little activity for our YAS during lockdown but what they reported was an increased need for support,” says Sean Lyons from Netsafe. “And they responded by reaching out to schools and carrying on with their work.”

Young online safety role models Netsafe trains young people aged 14–20 to become online safety role models within their peer groups, schools and communities. Specifically, they learn to reduce incidents of online harm through sharing knowledge, creating discussion, empowering peers and collaborating with people who can make a difference.

Growth opportunity The YAS work is also a huge growth opportunity for the members themselves. “They are more independent and confident, and we are very proud of how much they are contributing. They are young leaders,” says Lawrence. As a Netsafe school, Manurewa High School completes regular self-reviews to grade its performance in cyber safety and identify target areas for improvement. “There is so much happening in that space that just keeping your head above water can be difficult,” says Lawrence. “Working with Netsafe gives us confidence that we are doing the right thing. From a legality point of view, they help keep us safe too. When dealing with some of the more serious incidents, we feel supported with some of the Netsafe action plans that are available.”

Schools play an integral role in the success of the programme.

By students, for students

“YAS members have told us they need the support of their school to successfully implement the programme. We provide or co-develop the content to be delivered, then actively support YAS and their schools throughout the year,” says Sean.

Bullying-Free New Zealand has identified student voice as key to positive change in keeping schools safe, both online and offline. When students have a genuine say, it serves as a mechanism for change in schools. Positive outcomes include:

“We keep it as low impact as possible for teachers – we are not asking them to be online safety experts. This is about youth for youth.

» improving teacher-student relationships

“Our research has driven that message home. The most important people in their lives are their friends, their peers, and despite all the messaging about talking to a trusted adult, it isn’t who they turn to at first.” The first cohort of YAS members was drawn from schools already signed up to the Netsafe membership programme, including Manurewa High School in South Auckland with two students on the squad. “They have become the voice of young people in our community,” says deputy principal Lawrence Naiker. “They are totally passionate about their work and about fighting for a cause. And, although we haven’t measured the impact of their work yet, there is already a growing awareness amongst students and teachers of what it means to be safe online.” gazette.education.govt.nz

CYBER SAFETY

Becoming a Netsafe school The Netsafe school membership scheme is designed to support schools to keep their students and staff safe online, and as a way for schools to demonstrate to their communities that they take cyber safety seriously. Schools sign up, take the review to grade themselves, and then work through seven areas using the Netsafe framework and support to upgrade their online environments. “The amount of energy and time that an average teen puts into their online existence means it can be a difficult task, quite depressing almost, trying to stay one step ahead, but we try to get schools and parents to think about the broader principles of the activities that young people are engaged in,” says Sean. “There’s gaming, there’s messaging, there’s dating and that doesn’t change. So if we think about them as activities rather than technologies, and try to think about the challenges that go along with those things, then it’s slightly less daunting. “It might be Snapchat today, Twitter tomorrow and Weibo the next but they’re all instant messaging sites; they’re communication platforms and even if the colours and the buttons have changed, what hasn’t changed are the challenges that young people face and the support that they need when they experience those challenges.” Netsafe also provides an incident response guide for schools, designed as a first port of call when a school finds itself in a challenging situation in terms of online safety. “We recognise that people may be in a slightly heightened stage of emotion, they might be scared about what’s going on, but with this guide they can start from a more level-headed or pragmatic viewpoint.”

One Youth Action Squad member’s experience Year 12 student Beitor Li (right) says being part of the Youth Action Squad (YAS) has helped him to regain confidence after enduring a long campaign of cyber stalking. For nine months he received threatening messages and images showing how he was being tracked – a photo of his mother’s car, a Google map link showing his route home from school. Eventually Beitor worked out who was sending the messages and was told that it was because one of the girls involved liked him. “The people behind this account thought they were doing something playful, but it wasn’t playful at all,” he says. “It made me feel very intimidated, I had a lot of negative emotions at once, and I was afraid to tell anyone in case they were the person behind the stalking.” Joining YAS has allowed Beitor to move from being a victim to a champion, sharing his experience to inform and support other young people, and to embrace leadership. “I am super passionate about cyber safety and also very grateful to be part of the Squad. It’s amazing when we meet up – we are always so happy to see each other. And I am learning so much, especially morally. “My advice to others is to be yourself online, and to ask for help when you need it. Often people are afraid to speak up but I would say reach out. And when you see something horrible happening online, check up on others instead of letting it slide.”

Joining the Youth Action Squad YAS members are given Netsafe-specific training as well as coaching in public speaking and general leadership. They are taught to get involved in broad, proactive discussions within their schools rather than getting dragged down into the negative aspects of being online. The team upskills one module at a time, taking their work back into school to implement, with Netsafe on hand for back-up. “Youth are powerful and we can promote positive change with our voices,” says Beitor.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

Celebrating topperforming students in vocational education Secondary schools and wharekura around Aotearoa New Zealand can now submit their nominations for a vocational award to present to their students this year.

he Prime Minister’s Vocational Excellence Award is back in its second year to help raise the status of vocational pathways and recognise top-performing secondary students in vocational education. The award aims to inspire more rangatahi to pursue vocational pathways and careers when they leave school. It contributes to a wide range of initiatives currently underway to encourage more people to see vocational education and training as an attractive option. Every state secondary school and wharekura can nominate their top Year 12 or 13 student who is engaged in a vocational programme of learning for the award. Each school’s winner receives a $2,000 cash prize and a certificate, which is intended to be presented at their school prizegiving ceremony alongside other top awards.

Awards provide confidence Former St Dominic’s College student and 2019 award recipient Sarah Engle says the award gave her the confidence to embark on her chosen career pathway. “I was shocked,” she says of the win. “It’s a great feeling to know you’ve got the support of your teachers and your school.” Sarah says she’s always had an interest in the beauty community, but it wasn’t until an opportunity arose through the Gateway Programme last year to explore hairdressing that she knew she had found the pathway for her.

Supporting vocational pathways In addition to Gateway and Trades Academies, programmes that allow school students to access workplace learning and education at tertiary institutions, the following initiatives help raise the profile of vocational education and encourage more young people to consider vocational careers: » School trades events – A series of local events are happening across New Zealand to promote trades and ‘earn while you learn’ pathways to students. These events will link students with employers and enable them to explore industry-specific career opportunities. Visit education.govt.nz/education-to-employment to find events in your region.  » Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund – Young people who want to undergo training or apprenticeship in certain industries may be eligible to apply for the Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund. The fund covers the costs of training and apprenticeship and covers tuition fees, compulsory course costs, assessments and compulsory student services fees. Students can visit the Tertiary Education Commission website to check if they are eligible for this fund. » Apprenticeship Support Programme – A package of financial supports was announced this year to help employers keep apprentices and Mana in Mahi participants connected to work and training while New Zealand recovers from the impact of Covid-19. Visit Work and Income website for more information.

Since winning the award, Sarah has started working at The Hairdresser, a hair salon on Auckland’s North Shore, and has started working towards a hairdressing apprenticeship through the Hair and Beauty Industry Training Organisation (HITO). “I love it. It’s been such a great experience so far,” she says. Sarah encourages students to take opportunities that come their way, including applying for this year’s awards. “Dive in head first,” she says. “Just do it!” Applications will be processed in September in time for school prizegivings from mid-October to early December 2020.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Student Strike 4 Climate leaders’ vision for education Eight student leaders from the Auckland School Strike 4 Climate organisation articulated their vision for education about climate change.

reta Thunberg’s actions have mobilised youth internationally. Aotearoa New Zealand youth are no exception, having organised three strikes to date. The last, held on 27 September 2019, involved 40 different events nationally and attracted approximately 170,000 people.

Youth vision

Resources

Eight secondary student leaders attended and about 40 adults, including teachers, were in the audience. These students spoke individually and all agreed on their vision for education about climate change. They identified six specific aspects:

When it comes to realising the students’ vision for climate change education, there are many existing resources which provide a good place to start:

With the lockdown now ended, more strikes are planned. Youth want to seize this moment in time to encourage leaders to rethink how they respond to climate change.

» Teachers who know how and what to teach about climate change. » Quality resources that are both age and culturally appropriate. » Unpacking the IPCC reports that are used to inform and guide policy and people’s actions, so that they are readily understood by teachers and students. » A ‘one-stop’ web-based repository for resources and teaching materials that both teachers and students could access. » Emphasis on learning individual and collective action-taking skills that will help bring about systemic change. » A discussion network or forum where students can talk about climate change with each other and their teachers.

While young people’s ideas, such as ensuring that domestic policies align with the Paris Agreement 1.5, were recorded in an open letter to Parliament, less is known about how they think education could support their ideas. The Auckland Branch of the New Zealand Association for Environmental Education invited the leaders of the Auckland School Strike 4 Climate organisation to a panel discussion so that they could voice their ideas.

» Climate change education programme » Science Learning Hub teaching and learning resources » The Nature of Science strand on Te Kete Ipurangi. » Pūtātara: A Call to Action.

Student wellbeing The topic of climate change can evoke strong emotions among students, so supporting student wellbeing continues to be a priority. Again, general wellbeing resources that provide a good place to start are available, including Sparklers aimed at Year 1-8 students, Te Pakiaka Tangata for secondary students, and a free number (1737) which anyone can call or text anytime to talk to a trained counsellor. In addition, the Level 4 climate change education programme Climate Change: Prepare today, live well tomorrow includes a wellbeing guide.

OUTDOOR LEARNING

Getting out into nature New Zealand’s educators are being encouraged to get students into nature during Conservation Week.

n annual initiative led by the Department of Conservation (DOC), this year’s Conservation Week runs from 15 to 23 August and has a theme of ‘Nature through new eyes’. DOC’s Director General Lou Sanson says the theme reflects on the value to people’s wellbeing of time spent in nature: something which he believes the education sector and teachers can embrace in term 3. “Take a little time in nature for the wellbeing of you and your students,” he says. “Get them out of the classroom and into the natural environment; it can be the local park, beach or riverside, or even the school’s immediate grounds. “Encourage your students to look, listen, breathe and feel nature.”

Shake up routines Lou says outdoor learning in nature can help increase students’ critical thinking, creativity and ability to reflect – and also shakes up the classroom or laboratory routine for classes. “DOC has a pallet of great conservation education resources linked to The New Zealand Curriculum,” he says. DOC education resources are curriculum-linked for Levels 1 to 4, although they can be adapted outside of these levels. From nature taster cards, aimed at getting started in the outdoors, to fully integrated inquiry units, they provide a real-life context for teaching and learning. gazette.education.govt.nz

to specify the habitats, education level and curriculum level they are interested in. Numerous international surveys are indicating fewer children are experiencing nature directly, with many playing indoors and plugged into virtual networks, far removed from nature and with a limited understanding of biodiversity and its importance.

“Get them out of the classroom and into the natural environment; it can be the local park, beach or riverside, or even the school’s immediate grounds.” Lou Sanson A range of conservation topics can be found, including protecting local green, marine and estuarine environments, learning about specific New Zealand threatened species and learning important kupu taiao i te reo Māori.

DOC education portal The education portal on DOC’s website includes a search function, which allows educators

“Conservation Week is a great opportunity to change that,” says Lou. “It might take a little bit of logistical planning, but the rewards will emerge when children have that sense of wonder when they’re out in the natural world.” Lou says DOC chose a wellbeing focus for Conservation Week 2020 in light of the global Covid-19 situation – in particular the lockdown – and how it has led to many people pausing to reflect on the important things in their lives. “Many New Zealanders found solace while doing daily exercise during the Covid-19 lockdown through engaging with nature on visits to local parks, beaches and waterways.” Please visit this article online to access further details about Wellbeing in Education and the funding to address wellbeing needs as a result of Covid-19. In addition, two resources within the Social Sciences learning area provide curriculum content focusing on student engagement with nature. These are Pūtātara: A Call to Action, and Climate Change: Prepare today, live well tomorrow (which has an accompanying Wellbeing Guide). TUKUTUKU KŌRERO | 17 August 2020

Official notices Annual Review of Deciles – 2020 Ministry of Education The 2020 Decile Review is open and applications close on 21 September. Each year, schools can apply for a decile review if they believe there has been a significant change in the school’s roll profile since the original assessment was made. Cabinet has agreed that deciles will not be recalculated using the 2018 Census information. The Ministry will continue to carry out decile reviews based on the 2013 Census data. To apply for a decile review, schools need to supply information as outlined in the application pack. Application packs and information about how to apply are available on the Education Counts website. Results will be available before the end of the 2020 school year. Where reviews are successful and the decile will be lowered, the increased funding will apply from the beginning of the 2021 school year. Note: Indicative funding notices for the 2021 year (released in September 2020) will be calculated using a school’s current decile. If a Board successfully applies for a decile review that results in them gaining eligibility for the donations scheme, they will be advised before the start of the school year. Boards of Trustees will have until 1 March 2021 to consult with their communities and let us know their decision by filling in the online declaration form. Schools will receive their donations funding as part of their April Operational Funding Instalment. The funding will be calculated based on the previous year’s July roll return. Please note: If a school applies for a decile review and anticipates that they will be eligible to opt in to the donations scheme, they must not ask families for donations from the start of the school year. You can email Decile.Reviews@education.govt.nz with any questions. Ref#: 1HA9dg

Equal Employment Opportunities (EEO)

The State Sector Act 1988 and the Human Rights Act 1993 ensure that equal employment opportunities apply to recruitment. EEO principles should be applied to every part of the recruitment process ie the development of the job description, the person specification, the advertisement and the appointment process. These principles enable people to apply for jobs without their chances being reduced by factors irrelevant to the requirements under consideration. Refer to the appropriate collective agreement for the conditions of service applicable to the position advertised. Employers also have to meet safety checking requirements under the Vulnerable Children Act 2014 when recruiting.
