Year 7/8 Term 2 Social Action

Dear Year 7&8 Parents/Caregivers

This term, the Year 7&8 Inquiry learning has been around The Universal
Declaration of Human Rights and how they have affected national society and
our world today. In Week 10, this term we are planning on giving back to the
local community through a social intervention. The students have
brainstormed ideas and have decided that creating mid-winter Christmas
presents and gifting them to the Mangere Refugee Centre would be a way to
demonstrate care and selflessness in the community. They were really
motivated by the guest speaker Dawit Arshak who came in to talk about his
experience as a refugee to NZ.

We would greatly appreciate it if our St Heliers Year 7&8 children could
bring in donations (not monetary) so we are able to create ‘Family Packs’
for these refugees. These donations need to be able to fit into an average
sized adult shoe box.

•       Room 28 - donations for young girls
•       Room 29 - donations for fathers
•       Room 30 - donations for mothers
•       Room 31 - donations for young boys
•       Room 14 - donations for teenagers
•       Room 15 - donations of hygiene products/toiletries
•       Room 19 - donations of non-perishable food
•       All classes - adult shoe boxes with lids and colourful wrapping paper

Donations would be appreciated before Wednesday of Week 9 as these packs
will be created and delivered to the Refugee Centre in Weeks 9 and 10 of
this term.

Kind regards,
Year 7&8 Team

As of 5:50pm Monday evening (2 days later than required) these people still had not completed their Week 5 homework task: 

Novel: I will be checking everyone's novels next weekend so they need to be worked on every night this week, and be ready to share with me on Friday morning. There needs to be clear evidence of 4 week's worth of writing (the 4 weeks of this term so far). Anyone who doesn't share their novel with me, or hasn't completed an appropriate level of writing, will spend every lunchtime in Week 6 working on it.
