From the outset, our Kāhui Ako has worked to connect and learn with other networks, both in Wellington and beyond. We have attended shared professional learning across the Wellington basin and pooled thinking and resources. In Wellington, students move across several Kāhui Ako so it makes sense!

This week, our Kāhui Ako was part of a session with the Christchurch-based Grow Waitaha initiative, pulling together stories from Kāhui Ako across the country to explore how different networks had pivoted during lockdown to support our schools. 

Karen filmed an snippet to share our story - below - and one of our Across School Leads, Catherine Hill, attended to share and take questions.

Thursday 28 May, 3.30—4.15pm
Our learners all had different experiences of the lockdown period and varied engagement with remote learning. As we facilitated the reintegration into school for both students and teachers, well-being and belonging will have been at the top of our minds. We took the opportunity to reflect on what we had been doing during the first weeks of this unique (unprecedented!) return to school — and pooled our expertise around areas we are still wondering about.
