Sticks 'n' Stones notice

 

Dear Parents of Sticks ‘n Stones Ambassadors,

We are really enjoying working with your children fortnightly as part of the Year 7/8 Ambassador Programme.  This is a strengths based Social and Emotional Learning Programme that we hope will positively support ambassadors to understand the impact of their words and actions in their relationships with others.

We collect feedback after each session to be able to continue to improve what we are doing and the sessions have been co designed with our senior SnS students. 

We are also happy to do a Parent Info night if this is something of interest to any of you.

Below is a table of the themes explored each fortnight if the programme begins at the start of the year. 

Term One	Term Two	Term Three	Term Four
Being an Ambassador	The Bystander Effect	Labels Difference and Diversity	Being Positive Online
Knowing yourself	Help Seeking	Problem Solving	Cyberbullying & Online Harm
Self-Talk	Active Bystander Strategies	Norms	Online Tools
Positivity, Kindness and Empathy	Responding to Bullying Behaviours	Our emotions	Reflection & Celebration
Elements of Bullying and other harm	Resilience and Bouncing Back	Citizenship for the Digital Age

We would LOVE your help. 

We have THREE fundraising opportunities coming up which we hope will help will be able to support us to follow up some ideas our ambassadors have.

QUIZ NIGHT
The first is a QUIZ NIGHT at Monteiths on Thursday August 17 from 7pm. Tickets are $10 each and we are aiming for 10 teams of six.  We would love your support by forming a team and coming along to support us.  Under 18s are welcome if accompanied by a parent or guardian.

MOTO X MARSHALS

The second is Marshalling at the Central Otago Moto X Fun Day at Omakau this Sunday (August 6).

This is all day but is a low stress role that should be fun if you rug up warm and bring a deckchair.  Marshals need to be aged 14 or over and will make sure none of the riders are lost J

If you can help with either of these chances to raise money for our group or if you have any questions, please either drop us a message on Facebook or email sticksnstonesnz@gmail.com
