Momentum Learning Pānui October 2022

Spring is a time of renewal and offers us all a chance to appreciate our environment and take advantage of the longer days. It is also time to reflect on how we might nurture ourselves in the last few months of 2022. This term’s pānui offers some suggestions on how you might incorporate well-being into your planning for 2023 and beyond.

As always, the pace is high and there has been a lot happening for the Momentum team, read more about what we’ve been up to in this month’s pānui.

The sheer level of responsibility that rangatira feel for shaping the journey and direction for their tamariki and school community is high. The commitment to having a clear vision and ‘getting it right’ is central to this mahi.
