Wellbeing - negatives to positives at Marsden

Inge Doig from Samuel Marsden Collegiate School

One of the key messages from yesterday's live stream Assembly was to think about the words we use, reframing them from negative to positive. The girls gave some awesome feedback to Head Girl Leila and Deputy head Girl Tuia – missing friends was one of the biggest negatives, but the positive was relief knowing we will see our friends again when this is over and that they are safe at home. And well done to Shenaya who gave us a great live performance on the guitar.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
