As promised at the end of last term we started this term with a suitcase and a dream. Walt Disney arrived in California with only a suitcase and $40. Today in assembly we discussed the attributes such a man must have had to achieve what he did. We decided that every one of the Key Competencies and Values from the New Zealand Curriculum would have been essential to him. Making connections to ourselves we realised that these are very important for us all to learn in order to be successful in life.
At the end of assembly we got our first example of people using these Key Competencies and Values when there were volunteers asked for from the senior class to be in the junior class over lunchtime. The people who volunteered were demonstrating the key competency of Participating and Contributing and the Value of Community. Well done to those people, I can't wait 'til they open their own theme park, or follow whatever dream it is they have!
