I care

 

Vision Statement:

Tirimoana is a C.A.R.E. school. As CARE Ambassadors we are committed to a partnership between students, staff and parents to develop values education and practices within the school community.

We aim to develop a sense of inclusion, respect and peaceful resolutions to conflict.

As part of the CARE Ambassadors programme, we aim to help students build lifelong skills relevant to the skills our students need in the ‘real world’.

 

PB4L:

Tirimoana is a PB4L School and runs a ‘Values Education’ Programme.

Each year we have a group of CARE Ambassadors with representatives from Year Five & Six classes, teachers facilitate and promote C.A.R.E. values, Conflict Resolution and develop lifelong Team Building skills.

 

Facilitators:

This programme is facilitated in school by Mrs Margaret Carter and Mr Blair Curtis. Our group is now fifty strong from across the Year Six classes.

 

Commitments:

The CARE Ambassadors make a commitment for the year and work very hard each day. They regularly meet during break times to discuss, plan and act in school based on Tirimoana’s C.A.R.E. philosophy.
