Spotlight on a new way of learning Editor’s note This is an unusual time in education and we felt it was important to capture it.

In this issue you’ll find a photo essay of Newlands Intermediate School in Wellington operating at Level 3. Like schools and kura all over the country, just a few students were in attendance, making for a much quieter environment than normal.

We also check in with a range of students learning from home. What can be learnt from their experiences? And how can different learners be supported in different learning environments?

“We are kanohi ki te kanohi people”: keeping Māori students connected during Covid-19

Bridging the digital divide

We also explore what distance learning looks like for many Māori learners in different parts of Aotearoa and some of the opportunities and challenges that have emerged.

And we look at steps to bridge the digital divide.

Building on work already underway, the Covid-19 crisis has seen more households equipped with internet and devices to help support students to learn from home. In this issue, we consider how we can maintain momentum in closing the gap, going forward.

DIGITAL EQUITY

Bridging the digital divide The Government is connecting up student households that currently lack internet, and supplementing school device stocks as part of a support package to help students learn remotely during the Covid-19 crisis. These efforts build on the work underway to bridge the digital divide in Aotearoa. Education Gazette looks at how we can maintain momentum in closing the gap.

n Matamata, a grandmother is delighted. She has just been connected to the internet and has received a device to support distance learning for her two grandchildren, who live with her. Both children are ORSfunded and have significant global delays and physical disabilities.

Distance learning hasn’t been easy, particularly with no computer or internet access.

Colleen Harris, the special education advisor who works with the family, says the grandmother has been doing a “marvellous job” and has been grateful for the school’s support.

“The children’s school has been great in sending hard-copy adapted work home but these students have not been able to connect with their class teacher and class mates online. The school requested a device and internet which arrived last week. This will enable her mokopuna to access their schools and talk to their teachers and be part of their class.

Nan and I are extremely grateful,” says Colleen.

School’s secure managed network for 124 Year 5 and 6 children at Rata Street School in Lower Hutt, Wellington. The project continued in 2020 with another cohort of students receiving internet access.

Dave says the TAKA wifi scheme gave his students a head-start in the Covid crisis, with more students and families able to access online learning than would have been the case previously.

“The whole premise of the project was to give our kids the same opportunities other students have. The kids can now continue their learning at home. If their family wants to check out the work of the day, the student can show them, or they can hunt for a recipe, play a game, check out passions,” says Dave.

While it’s early days for the project, Dave says anecdotal feedback from families is that there’s now more opportunity for children to explore learning online at home and parents/caregivers have more awareness of what their children are learning at school.

This whānau is just one recipient of the Government’s $88-million-dollar support package rolled out in response to Covid-19 to ensure that a majority of students in Aotearoa have access to the internet and devices to support them with online learning.

“In terms of our community, which had really low connectivity, it’s increased and the wider impact – more engagement from parents – is making a difference. The next step could be that students don’t hand back the Chromebooks when they leave us, their home connectivity remains and that carries on to their next school,” says Dave.

Community partnerships increase access

Matt Reid, TAKA Trust chair, agrees it appears to be having a positive impact on student engagement.

The Covid response is building on work begun in many New Zealand schools and communities.

Rata Street School principal Dave Appleyard could not have foreseen just how invaluable a programme to equip his students with access to internet and devices would prove to be in the Covid crisis.

“Who would have thought that on that last day of school, those 80 or 90 students who were here could put their Chromebooks in their bags and essentially carry their learning on at home?”

At the end of 2018, the Te Awakairangi Access (TAKA) Trust along with Chorus, Network for Learning (N4L) and the Ministry of Education provided Google Chromebooks and free wifi access to Rata Street

“Tamariki can go home and ideally with whānau, extend what they are doing in the classroom into the family living room. For many kids who hadn’t previously been able to do that, that’s been huge,” he says.

Matt puts the success of the programme down to its community leadership. Joni Araiti – who they called their CoM (Chief of Mahi) – was based in a shipping container at the school for several months engaging with whānau and working with the principal and school leaders.

“Without her leadership and local connections and passion for the community, this wouldn’t work,” says Matt.

“Who would have thought that in that last day of school, those 80 or 90 students who were here could put their Chromebooks in their bags and essentially carry their learning on at home.”

DIGITAL EQUITY

“We had parent evenings and whānau evenings in 2018-19. Unless you can invest in that you won’t get the real benefits for the kids. If the teachers, schools, culture of the schools aren’t prepared, or don’t have the capability, to teach in a different way, you won’t get the same long-term benefits.”

Empowering learning in Northland A similar community approach to digital learning is proving successful in Northland. The Taitokerau Education Trust has developed a successful digital learning programme which aims to raise achievement through equal access to online education. Its Digital Immersion Programme provides interest-free loans to students in a cluster of lower-decile Northland schools so they can buy Chromebooks for $500.

“We know how beneficial learning online is,” says Taitokerau Education Trust executive officer Liz Cassidy-Nelson. “Students become incredibly engaged when online resources are opened up to them, especially if they are supported by their teachers and whānau.”

In response to Covid-19, Northpower Fibre waived its monthly wholesale connection charges for 842 student households in Northland, which means online education is more accessible for students who would otherwise be living without broadband during the nationwide lockdown.

Liz says reinstating connections for so many families means learning doesn’t need to stop while schools are closed.

Need to continue to strive for equity School leaders are keen to see the work to bridge the digital divide continue, once life returns to relative normality after Covid-19.

Among them is Porirua College principal Ragne Maxwell.

“The Covid crisis has highlighted the inequities of the digital divide. We need a new normal – we need to have no students in New Zealand left without access to digital devices and internet. It is simply inequitable – they are not being prepared to work in the modern workforce.”

Ragne thinks the Government and the Ministry of Education are doing an excellent job in trying to meet the needs of all students, but she says there are no simple solutions.

“Many of our students are finding it hard to work in crowded homes. There may only be one device at home and a parent may be using it to work. We’re having to advise: ‘Please use the TV for the younger children and prioritise the seniors in terms of who gets time on the device’.”

Ragne believes it will have an impact on Māori and Pacific learners, especially those who are living with large families where it’s challenging to work at home. “All the research also shows they are people who work best in group learning situations that we’re simply not able to create in this time.”

“...we have learned a lot through Covid-19 and we need to make sure that we take what has worked well and build on it, we need to maintain momentum to close the digital divide, and address equity issues more generally in education...”

Iona Holsted

Nearly 75 per cent of Porirua College’s roll of 550 students are from the Pacific Islands, 23 per cent are Māori and the remainder are Pākeha or children from refugee families from Syria, Colombia and Myanmar.

“A lot of students are finding it confusing and difficult to get motivated independently and when they get stuck, there’s nobody to ask, or encourage them through that hard moment. We are finding some of our top students are finding that a real challenge because they thrive in an environment with very supportive teachers. When they lose courage and belief in themselves, it’s very easy to down tools without someone there to say ‘you can do it’,” she says.

Ragne is worried that the disruption caused by Covid-19 will have an impact on senior students’ qualifications.

“This isn’t just equity about passing NCEA, it’s equity about helping these kids find future lives and not just drop through the cracks,” says Ragne.

“We’re looking for solutions. This loaning of devices and provision of internet can’t just be under Level 4 and 3. If our students are going to have any hope of catching up, this has to be for the rest of the year.”

Maintaining momentum The Ministry of Education is eager for this not just to be a short-term solution and is exploring ways that this progress can be made sustainable in the long-term. Ownership of devices that have been allocated during Covid-19, will be transferred to schools to be added to their fleets of devices.

The Ministry would also like to see internet connectivity extended, and is

looking into sustainable commercial arrangements, securing longerterm funding, and how to work with other sectors to help lock in the current gains.

Secretary for Education Iona Holsted is eager to see this achieved.

“A strong theme from the Prime Minister is that we have learned a lot through Covid-19 and we need to make sure that we take what has worked well and build on it, we need to maintain momentum to close the digital divide, and address equity issues more generally in education and the economy,” she says.

The Ministry’s work in this area is extensive. Its Equitable Digital Access programme has seen projects around the country attempt to gain a better understanding of how to resolve digital inequity. The aforementioned TAKA project is one such project.

The 2016-17 ‘internet in homes’ project at a school in eastern Christchurch also provided some valuable lessons. The project aimed to improve opportunities for students who were not able to access online learning and other web-based resources outside school hours by providing naked broadband via a wireless modem and where possible a school Chromebook for these students to use at home. The project reinforced that bridging the divide is not just about providing connectivity and devices, but also about taking into account teachers’ and parents’ abilities to use technologies and keep pace with digital change.

Pilots like this have helped pave the way for the provision of devices and internet to students who did not have access as New Zealand went into lockdown, prompting a swift and massive scale-up of the Equitable Digital Access programme.

As the Ministry strives for a sustainable way to achieve digital equity beyond Covid-19, it is also focused on continuing to increase the capability of teachers, students and whānau to use technology effectively in learning programmes.

On the other side of Covid-19 Ragne notes that a small group of students who were not engaged in learning previously have been enjoying the experience of learning from home, which has prompted some discussion around future online learning options.

“I have been talking to some of those who have been least engaged and they are saying, ‘this is great, I’m really liking it, I’m working at my own pace, I’m liking not having the distractions of other students in the room – there’s nothing else to do at home anyway’.

“We’re starting to see other ways that might engage a few students – and possibly this could happen across schools. It makes us think about whether we need to have some online learning options, even for part of the day, for students who find it very difficult to engage in the classroom situation,” says Ragne.

Wayne Buckland, principal of Bream Bay College in Northland, anticipates that his school’s approach to learning will look different on the other side of Covid-19.

“I think the important thing in all of this is that we’re not thinking of going back to how we were, we’re thinking about going to the new normal and the new normal has to be better than the old way of doing things.”

His staff have all been equipped with a high-end Samsung tablet and utilising Zoom, interactive whiteboards, Explain Everything and other apps and tools, they can run composite classes, connecting with all learners regardless of whether they are physically in the classroom or learning from home.

Students will also have the opportunity to be virtual hosts, even potentially co-hosts. Wayne sees it as a natural progression of the school’s work around the deep learning competencies (collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, citizenship, character and communication) that are part of the New Pedagogies for Deep Learning.

“The new normal will be composite classes for ever. So we probably will never use our whiteboard ever again in the classroom – instead that will be the tablet.” gazette.education.govt.nz

“We are kanohi ki te kanohi people”: keeping Māori students connected during Covid-19

Education Gazette talks to people from kura all over Aotearoa about how educators are working together to keep Māori students and their whānau connected during Covid-19.

A

t Te Kura Māori o Porirua, tamariki meet online daily for karakia at 9.30am. It’s part of how the kura has adapted its routine since lockdown began.

Tumuaki Sophie Tukukino says after a few initial teething issues, everyone is gaining confidence with online learning. Students already had devices before the country went into lockdown.

“We’ve had whānau that have gone out of their way to learn quickly.

They’ve been nervous, but because of their commitment to their tamariki, they’ve worked it out.”

Sophie says the innovation and support from kaiako all over Aotearoa has been amazing.

“Our kaiako Māori, they are really generous right across the motu. It’s been really heart-warming.”

Sophie says she would like to see the Ministry relook at the timetabling of the school year and also talk with universities regarding entrance requirements.

Learning success comes down to whanaungatanga Meanwhile at Te Kura Reo Rua o Waikirikiri at Tūranga Nui ā Kiwa Gisborne, ensuring their students have access to internet and devices has been more challenging.

Teaching duo Anne and Wayne Abraham say money is tight in their school community, with job cuts in the nearby forestry industry putting extra financial pressure on many whānau.

“For a lot of our parents, buying food and essentials is the limit of their income, they don’t have the finances to support wifi or a device that’s capable of doing anything more than a text.”

Sophie says for kura tuatahi tamariki, kaiako are mainly using Seesaw, and for kura tuarua, Google dashboard. She says everyone is using Zoom, and kaiako refer whānau to Te Kauwhata Reo for learning ideas, as well as using it themselves for a teaching resource kete.

Anne says to help ease the burden of lockdown, kaiako gave away all the school’s kai.

She says when learning hard packs arrived, for many tamariki, it felt like Christmas.

She says teachers also rang parents to collect children’s learning packs, because classes were emptying fast. Anne says some whānau were heading “back up the coast” to their papakāinga, so grandparents and extended whānau could offer a bigger bubble of tautoko for tamariki, especially if parents were essential workers.

“The thought that’s gone into those packs – I think the Ministry has tried really hard.”

But the big issue that’s worrying her is the anxiety rangatahi are feeling about falling behind academically.

“The anxiety levels of our teenagers, of our wharekura students, we’re all [kaiako Māori] going to have to work hard so their academic pathways aren’t restricted.

“The equity issue for me is the biggie, Māori tamariki are the ones most at risk [of not] entering university. A lot of their engagement relies on body language, they rely on kanohi ki te kanohi. You can’t check what that looks like – if they’re at home, in a bedroom, trying to work things out on their own, it just adds to their anxiety.”

Education Gazette 6 May 2020

“All the food we had, the KidsCan stuff, we distributed to our whānau and just emptied out everything.”

Wayne, who is also the deputy principal, says his first thought when lockdown was announced was, how are we going to manage online learning?

He was relieved to have the holidays brought forward as it gave them time to find out which families had internet and devices.

“It was such a huge task; it was so difficult just getting hold of people, documenting who had what. It took a whole week.”

The principal bought 40 devices with a community grant, leaving a shortfall of just 80.

Anne’s number of online students jumped from two to 15. She created a classroom site, sourcing activities off the internet.

But she says you can’t beat learning kanohi ki te kanohi (face to face), for tamariki Māori. Especially for children who need school, to escape out of the house, particularly where there’s “layers of social and economic complexity”.

She says it’s also important to remember Covid-19 has its own tikanga.

“Our tamariki are at home, we are going into their space, and don’t want to put more pressure on them.”

Wayne says he thinks online learning only works well if there’s accountability.

“In class, there’s set routines, everyone’s being held accountable, everyone’s got to play the game.”

He says at their school, he believes learning success comes down to whanaungatanga.

“Our relationships with whānau, tamariki and staff here are strong, we all work well together, especially staff, even after hours if we need to. We couldn’t have gotten on with [the fight against Covid] otherwise.”

Concerns about students’ wellbeing Relationships are fundamental at Christchurch Boys’ High School as well.

Daniel Hāpuku, the school’s Kaiārahi Mātauranga Māori says at Christchurch Boys, he believes Māori learners have excellent support, especially from senior management and the headmaster.

“Te reo Māori and tikanga are intertwined in every setting; when students and whānau see that they follow.

“Māori parents are making huge sacrifices to get their kids to our school. We have cases where they’re working two or three jobs, travelling long distances.”

Daniel says devices and connectivity haven’t been a big problem so far, but across town in his old neighbourhood, Christchurch East, he’s heard of families with five or more tamariki sharing one device, and others limited to studying off their cellphones.

But Daniel says his main concern for Māori students during lockdown in Ōtautahi, is their stress levels.

“Some of our boys have three to four generations of cultural disconnect from their Māori identity, school is one of the few places they can actually be Māori, feeding that [identity]. But I’ve noticed lockdown’s taking a toll, some boys are looking quite down; we’re lucky we’ve got good counselling here.”

He says since the earthquakes, students have normalised stress.

For example, many students consider it normal to be scared around tall buildings. Factoring in the floods, fires, mosque tragedy, and now Covid, it scares him to think about what their tamariki are going through. But he says students from Ōtautahi are incredibly resilient.

Managing anxiety Further down the country in Murihiku Southland, stress and anxiety is also affecting whānau, says Carmen Stockdale, kaiako at Little Ones Early Learning Centre in Edendale.

Carmen says for parents to see teachers wipe, wash and sterilise everything all the time, and even the way they walk onto the premises, is bound to trigger anxiety.

“Teachers have their anxiety, parents have anxiety, and tamariki have theirs. I had to reflect, as a Māori kaiako, how am I going to handle that when I feel all of that coming on?”

Māori centre manager and owner Nardine Frost says in Southland, the regional isolation and impact of Covid-19 has helped boost stress levels through the roof.

Whānau learns together Mikaera Cooper and her whānau moved into her parents’ home in Taemaro Bay, Hihi, in the Far North, just before lockdown.

She says schooling has been a challenge, but Covid-19 has given them time together and she’s loving it.

“We can keep it up for a while; I don’t mind it at all, I’m really enjoying having [the tamariki] around. It’s great that life has slowed down, we can enjoy each other before we get stuck back in the grind.”

Mikaera, who is a kōhanga reo teacher, says she designed her own learning programme for her nine-year-old twin daughters using whatever resources they had.

“I get them to write about the day, some pāngarau, reading, spelling and artwork; I try not to overload them.”

She says the only thing is there’s not enough internet capacity to fully support online learning.

“We can read texts, but can’t play videos, watch social media or go on Zoom.”

Education Gazette 6 May 2020

She says while the girls might miss out on some learning compared to other students, she is already getting awhi from Papa Hēmi, even though they aren’t fully enrolled yet.

“Once the learning pack gets here it’ll be awesome; the girls check the letterbox every couple of days.”

Nine-year-old Charmay loves being taught at home by her mum.

“It’s really fun cos we do it in half an hour and then we get to play with our baby; we also get to go on the TV. I like Mauri Reo, Mauri Ora – we watch it every morning.

For Charmay, living with Nana and Papa is special.

“With my Papa, I can go fishing, and we can go to the garden with my Nana, and to the beach.”

Charmay’s grandad Matua Brendan Freeland says supporting the learning of his mokopuna is “awesome”.

“We’ve been fishing off the beach, learning

to tie knots and put their bait on; I’ve even had them in the garden, under protest admittedly!”

Brendan says the chance to connect with his mokopuna is an experience he recommends to all grandparents, and not just during Covid-19 either.

“It’s not easy, but if you get the opportunity jump in and do it, and when the kids get a bit ngenge, that’s ok, the main thing is they’re on the whenua, and hopefully they’ll be here for the next generation.”

And although there’s no remote learning via wifi, there’s an abundance of deep learning available for Charmay and her sisters, connecting into their reo Māori, their whenua and their moana, through her parents and grandparents.

“My dream was for one of my kids to return and build here on the land, and that’s happened. But now it’s actually gone beyond my dreams, because I’ve got my mokos – they’re here on the land with me too.”

MĀORI LEARNERS

She says for her personally, as a sole parent raising two sons with additional learning needs who are doing NCEA, with her closest whānau member 20 minutes’ drive away, it’s been tough.

“We are kanohi ki te kanohi people” At Mātāuri Bay in Te Tai Tokerau, Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Whangaroa, internet connectivity and access to devices has been an issue for some whānau.

Tumuaki Papa Hēmi Wi Epiha gives an example. “One whānau has three levels of students, they are welcome to jump in with whichever teacher is online, at whatever level, in any of their brothers’ and sisters’ classes.

says reception in Northland is terrible; sometimes it can even be affected by the rain.

“I’ve had to say to parents, ‘Don’t fret, if you have no connectivity turn the TV on [to the Māori language learning channels] and connect with that’.”

Papa Hēmi says for those whānau who can be reached by phone, he’s found a system to connect face to face with students.

“But many whānau have no connectivity, and these are the ones we feel for,” he says.

“I’ll ring their parents and find out what time they’re going into town to do their shopping and arrange to meet them at Countdown or New World. The best place to engage with students who have no connectivity is at the supermarket. But if they don’t make it in, that’s another day that goes by with no contact.”

Papa Hēmi says for whānau further north without devices, they use their phone data until it runs out. After that, or if there’s no reception, there’s no way of touching base with that whānau. He

“Other pockets of whānau are way, way up north but we’ve been finding ways to communicate with them and digging deep.

“I had one whānau I couldn’t get a learning package to. One of my kaiako, her husband is an essential worker who drives past, so he dropped it off.”

“We are kanohi ki te kanohi people, we are embedded learners, and up north here, especially up north, we must go to the whānau. Communication is top of the list.”

LEARNING FROM HOME

What learning from home looks like Education Gazette asks six families across Aotearoa to share their experiences of learning from home, prompting questions of how different learners and their whānau might be supported in different learning environments.

C

ovid-19 has altered many aspects of our day-today lives. For families with young learners, that has included learning from home.

For some learners, the time away from school, friends and teachers has proved difficult. For others it has given some respite from the challenges of the school environment.

Similarly, while some parents have enjoyed the opportunity to be more involved with their children’s learning, others have found it daunting.

Everyone’s experience of learning from home will be different, as the following six stories show. What can be learnt from these experiences? And how can different learners be supported in different learning environments?

Missing friends and sport Like many young people around the country, Jackson, 11, and his older sister Ellie, are looking forward to returning to their schools in South Christchurch.

Initially, Jackson was a little worried about learning from home. “I didn’t know what was going to happen and I was wondering, ‘How are they going to do this?’

“First we had emails and then started doing Google Meets. It’s quite glitchy, you can hardly hear people and the teacher just mutes us so it’s quite different; you’re just doing work and you can’t talk to your friends.

“It’s OK, I thought it was going to be a lot worse.

You’re more focused on your learning and you don’t have to make the effort to get a pencil and sharpen it; you just work online.

“I’m looking forward to going back to school because you can see people and talk to them all day. I miss seeing my friends and doing Tech with the big saws; you can’t do that at home.”

Ellie is starting to miss school and sport.

“At first I was excited because I wanted a break but after a while the shock set in because I didn’t realise how closed off everything would be.

“Distance learning is pretty good; the work they’re setting us isn’t too hard but I don’t like working by myself, I prefer to work in groups. I’m missing sport a lot because usually I play netball, basketball, volleyball, korfball and touch rugby.”

LEARNING FROM HOME

Year 13 student Lucy says living with a disability has prepared her for the challenges of distance learning and life in lockdown.

Prepared for distance learning However, for other students the transition to distance learning has been less disruptive.

Year 13 student Lucy says she feels well equipped to manage distance learning because she was catapulted into social isolation four years ago when she lost the use of her legs.

“This hasn’t been the massive transition for me that it has for many people because I’ve dealt with missing school and isolation before. I lost the use of my legs at 12 and that changed my life in every way. I’ve had to adapt physically, of course, and all my relationships have changed.

“Before my accident I had a very good group of friends and I never felt isolated or left out, but returning to school two years later it was just crazy how differently people treated me, the girl in the wheelchair, and how different my daily life was.

“Because of what I’ve been through, I can deal with life in lockdown. You have to find it within yourself to succeed and to accept that learning comes in different ways, not just for six hours a day in a classroom. Everyone thought that me being out of school for two years would be a massive step backwards, but we found there are lots of ways around things and I’ve been able to keep up.

“Socially this has been interesting because I felt very left out before, there are so many places I can’t go and generally I get excluded from parties, but now we’re all in the same position so I can focus better on school work.

“Isolation is something we in the disability community know very well and to an extent we have an advantage because we know how to stay in touch at a distance.

“I know everyone’s really worried that this is going to set us back significantly, but as someone who has missed a lot of schooling, I know we can come back from this. It’s about getting through the moment, and doing the best that you can with each thing that comes your way.”

LEARNING FROM HOME

Safe from bullying Then there are some children and young people for whom distance learning is providing a welcome reprieve from school.

Year 8 student Joshua is enjoying the break from the challenges of school life.

Despite the best efforts of schools and communities to tackle bullying, it is still experienced by too many of New Zealand’s young people.

Joshua, 13, is in Year 8 at a school in South Canterbury. For him, lockdown learning means a break from being bullied.

“For me lockdown means having a break from the bullying and being able to learn stuff so it’s a relief. To be honest I am finding the workload astronomical and I’m having a hard time keeping up but I’m trying really hard to get everything done. It’s easier to ask questions on Zoom than in the classroom and it’s also easier to learn when there’s no one misbehaving.

“It’s sort of the rest I needed, it’s given me opportunities to make more videos; I’m producing four a week now compared with one a month before, but I do miss going plane spotting. I like posting photos of planes and eventually I’m going to run out of them.

“If lockdown ended today, I would be crossing my fingers that the bullying would stop, but I would be happier if it continued for a long time because it’s the break I deserve.”

All children should feel safe from bullying in their school environments.

With many students set to return to school after an extended period of learning from home during the Covid-19 crisis, this is a good opportunity for schools to revisit their frameworks for preventing and addressing bullying.

The Bullying Free NZ website offers a wide range of resources, advice and support for students, parents and whānau, teachers, school leaders and boards of trustees. For younger children, Oat the Goat is a useful resource.

The free, interactive, online story book is designed to help 4–year-olds learn about the power of kindness and make the right decision through a positive interactive experience with their family, teacher or peers.

Phoebe is making great progress learning at home.

An opportunity to better support children’s learning Distance learning has prompted many parents to take a more active role in their children’s learning. Auckland primary teacher Jo Coughlan has relished the chance to support her daughter Phoebe’s learning at home.

Jo says Phoebe’s learning has taken off during lockdown. “She likes school but she doesn’t find it easy; she’s such a quiet girl that she gets lost in the classroom, she won’t ask questions.

“We’re doing just a couple of hours a day and I’m seeing so much progress. Phoebe is learning spelling patterns she’s never known before, not that she hasn’t been taught them but it went over her head.

“I’m able to give her that one-on-one support now and it’s lovely to see her thrive. She’s also learnt some of her times tables off by heart and I’m feeling very lucky to have had this time with her. I couldn’t do this work with her after school, she’s too tired.

“She’s going to go back to school more ready than ever. She has missed her teacher and she does miss her friends but

16

Education Gazette 6 May 2020

she’s also loving the family time.”

Phoebe says she’s looking forward to returning to school so she can see her friends and play outside.

“My favourite part of school is reading and free time when you can choose books, puzzles, games or dress ups. In my bubble I’m sad that we can’t see our friends or go to school or the playground, but we do go on more scooter rides and walks, and we see teddy bears in the windows.”

Worrying the kids will fall behind However, not all parents feel equipped to support their children’s learning.

Hastings beautician Jenna (not her real name) feels daunted and is concerned that her teenagers, 17 and 13, are missing out on vital learning.

“I was relieved when schools closed because I was worried about the children’s safety in the pandemic, but I don’t know how to help them with their schoolwork because I’m not smart at all. I left school at 14 so I could work to help my parents, gazette.education.govt.nz

LEARNING FROM HOME

Richard, Tracey, Curtis and Yasmin are finding it difficult to juggle work and school commitments at home.

Overwhelmed by competing priorities so I’m really out of my depth with home schooling. Even going to parent-teacher meetings makes me nervous.

“Our big boy, the 17-year-old, is really good, he seems to be able to manage his workload, but I worry about the 13-yearold. In some ways being home is better for him because he’s away from the kids he’s been getting into trouble with, but I do worry about him falling behind.”

The Ministry of Education is keen to support parents and caregivers with learning from home. The Ministry’s two new websites, Learning from Home (for English medium schools) and Ki te Ao Mārama (for Māori medium kura) launched on 23 March, and aim to help support learning from home, offering a wide range of resources for parents and teachers to utilise. The Learning from Home website emphasises the importance of staying connected, and making wellbeing a priority.

The Ministry is also broadcasting educational material on TV, as well as providing hard copy materials where possible for different year levels. gazette.education.govt.nz

These resources may also prove useful for parents who are struggling to balance their work demands while supporting their children with their learning.

Tracey and Richard have two children, Curtis, 11, and Yasmin, 6, whose schools are operating on different school calendars.

“As parents and workers you’re trying to find a new way of getting everyone through their days and their work, and trying to juggle their schooling which is tricky when one is on holiday, one is doing schoolwork and both parents are trying to work in the house,” says Tracey.

“There’s an issue of bandwidth availability and of one child having to entertain themselves while the other is trying to do online learning.

And it’s happening at the same time that we’re adjusting to big changes in our lifestyle and dealing with pay cuts.”

Curtis has mixed feelings about learning from home.

“In some ways it’s quite good because I get an extra sleep in and it’s not like I’m going to miss the train or bus.

“But I really miss catching the bus because it’s an hour and a bit of just chatting with my friends, and I also miss Japanese, PE, and Tech because they’re way more fun at school.

“The work comes by email and I worry about missing tasks; a lot of the time I wonder what the other kids are doing and if I’m keeping up.

“Half the time I can’t go in my room because my parents are using my desk, and I have to play with my sister, and it’s raining so I can’t go on the trampoline.

“But I do like that I get to go for a run with my dad and if it’s a long one we get to go to the dairy afterwards.”

Curtis’ account is amongst so many different experiences of learning from home during this extraordinary time of life during a global pandemic.

Collectively they reinforce that everyone responds differently to different learning environments. Post-Covid, when life returns to relative normality, it will be useful to reflect and learn from the experiences of learners and their families across New Zealand at this time.

ONLINE LEARNING

VLN Community ready to support schools with distance learning 18

Education Gazette 6 May 2020

ONLINE LEARNING

With 25 years’ experience with online learning under its belt, the Virtual Learning Network Community is well positioned to help schools with distance teaching and learning during the Covid-19 response.

gazette.education.govt.nz

U

ntil recently, Jo Wilkinson’s classroom looked a little different from most. Every week, around 11 students from some of the more remote places in New Zealand, including Stewart Island, Mount Cook, Taumaranui, and Gisborne, join Jo’s virtual Zoom lessons on sign language.

As well as teaching at Waitoriki School in rural Taranaki for the past year, Jo has also been a teacher for the Virtual Learning Network (VLN) Primary.

The VLN Community is a group of school clusters that operate as a collaborative network, using digital technologies to enhance learning

outcomes and opportunities. The VLN Community is made up of VLN Primary and the secondary VLN organisations of NetNZ, FarNet, HarbourNet, Volcanics and WelCom.

Well placed for distance learning Of course, now in this new era of distance learning, teachers all over New Zealand and in many parts of the world are finding themselves doing what Jo and other VLN Community teachers have been doing for some time: leading Zoom sessions with their classes, coordinating chats with their students on Google Hangouts, connecting via online learning platforms.

ONLINE LEARNING

“I like the huge range of opportunities it opens up to our students who live in one of the most remote parts of the country.”

Kath Johnson

With 25 years of experience under its belt, the VLN Community is keen to share this experience with other schools, as they embrace remote learning in response to Covid-19.

“We’ve been doing this for 25 years but all of a sudden we’re all online teachers!” says Rachel Whalley, VLN Primary ePrincipal.

“We know that schools are feeling overwhelmed; that they’re really stepping up to taking on that role, to connecting with their learners, to focusing on what’s important and doing what they can from a distance. There’s a lot of schools that are doing awesome things and being quite innovative about it. But there is also a bit of stress and anxiety across the board around their changing role.

“It is the space that we’ve been working in for some time and we’re quite comfortable here. And we’re ready and willing and able to support the sector with that. There’s a sound base already working in New Zealand schools; how can we extend that base and experience to enable more schools to participate in what we’re doing?

“We’ve been working with the Ministry of Education into extending what we do to work

20

Education Gazette 6 May 2020

with schools. This means joining in some of our classes and getting involved with the PLD,” says Rachel.

The Ministry is funding further enrolments to the VLN Community in Term 2 from schools which need external provision. This will give learners the opportunity to access quality programmes that they might not have in their own school, while connecting with schools and teachers who have solid experience in distance learning.

Rachel says that while it’s potentially a rapid upscale, it is manageable and they are ready to take on more learners and expand the number of classes.

“It’s really about helping fill in the gaps,” says Rachel. “It’s a really good funded opportunity to access that learning for your students.”

For primary schools, VLN is keen to have teachers involved too.

“So if a primary school is going to enrol a group of kids, we’d really love to see their teachers there too so we can share that expertise. It’s about growing that capability.”

How does the VLN Community work?

The VLN Community caters for both primary and secondary students offering online classes across a wide range of different subjects. The programmes are based on The New Zealand Curriculum and use a blend of technologies. They are delivered to small numbers of students at a time. An online hub centralises all learning activity, while video conferencing is used to build connections.”

It’s a model that works well, according to those who are familiar with it.

Take Waitoriki School student Eli - this is his first year participating in the Digi Tech extension classes offered by the VLN Primary.

“We log into Zoom same time every Thursday to listen to our teacher teach us about coding – how to use Scratch and Python – and then she sets us work to complete before the next session which we can show the rest of the classroom.

Eli enjoys the chance to tap into learning beyond what he is doing at school.

“I get to learn something that my school isn’t able to offer at the moment and I can complete the homework in my own time.

gazette.education.govt.nz

“It can be a challenge to complete my work on time if I keep putting it off. I have to take responsibility for myself.”

Eli takes Digi Tech Extension classes with VLN Primary.

ONLINE LEARNING

Halfmoon Bay School on Stewart Island is also a member school of the VLN Primary. Student Fionn takes Spanish and extension maths classes with VLN Primary. “I don’t have to go on the ferry when it’s rough to learn things I can’t learn from my teachers at school.”

Halfmoon Bay School principal Kath Johnson was a founding trustee of the VLN Primary and has had students participate in VLN classes since 2012. She was also one of a group of principals who set up the Rural & Remote Kids’ Programme.

There’s a lot involved with online teaching, says Kath.

Prompting kids to remember to be at class on time; making sure they have a suitable space and up to date hardware; making sure they have time to complete follow up work; being well prepared; coming up with fun and interactive ways for the students to be engaged during the lesson; marking set work and giving feedback; and facilitating ways for the students to communicate with each other out of class. While things like poor internet quality and timetabling clashes can make the delivery challenging at times, it is ultimately rewarding.

“I like the huge range of opportunities it opens up to our students who live in one of the most remote parts of the country,” says Kath.

The VLN Community also offers professional learning and development for teachers. The NEX Kōtuitui online teachers professional network delivers fortnightly forum-type workshops on some of the key themes such as engaging students and learning design.

Integrating distance learning into our schooling system Rachel has been impressed to see teachers and students from VLN Community member schools helping others to gain a better understanding of how online platforms work and how to teach online with confidence.

“It was really good to hear what a difference the students have been making. They know how things work and they’re getting stuck in and helping their school communities too.”

Rachel hopes that the gains made by many schools in integrating online learning during the Covid-19 crisis will not be lost when schools eventually resume normal operation.

Leveraging the role of online learning was a key part of the Education Conversation and Tomorrow’s Schools Reform discussions, and the VLN Community and Te Kura (The Correspondence School) were highlighted in these.

“Schools are currently in emergency remote learning and teaching mode, but there’s a whole depth of online learning that goes further than that, where people thrive and there are pedagogies and experiences that are gained.

“I think it’s about working smartly across schools, about teacher workforce supply, about student agency and choice.

Rather than ‘let’s just throw some learning opportunities at this’, there’s a whole big picture out there, to which we can be strategically aligned.”

VLN Community best preparation for distance learning Many schools say their involvement with the VLN Community has put them in a good position to embrace distance learning during the lockdown period.

“Just letting you know that our participation in the VLN Primary has contributed positively to our confidence and readiness to take learning online during this period of school shutdown.”

gazette.education.govt.nz

“It’s also been great having such knowledgeable kids who have been doing VLN for years” “We have a VLN Primary eteacher on our staff and during this lockdown period she has really stepped up and taken on a leadership role getting everyone prepared for online learning. She has run extra Zoom meetings with those staff who were struggling and patiently talked them through the technical side. She has shared her wisdom on what works in an online lesson and what doesn’t.”

“Another positive is that the kids who are in the VLN classes were able to act as experts for the rest of our whānau before lockdown started.”

“Being part of VLN schools and participating as an online teacher as part of the rural schools group really helped our confidence moving to online classes. Our senior students have adapted well and using Google Classroom as part of our daily organisation has as well.”

atherine Dawson is visual art and technology teacher at Aotea College in Porirua. She teaches art, visual art painting, photography, jewellery, fashion and textiles and says she and her students planned for the lockdown the week beforehand.

to see what’s online – for example, ‘look at the video and then I’ll come back to you’ – then set the next class up... so they were a bit used to working in that way,” she says.

“I’ve split this class into four different online classes during the lockdown, so the kids feel really comfortable – there’s a nice relaxed atmosphere that we have created.

Before Aotea College closed, Catherine surveyed all her textile students to establish whether they needed or wanted a sewing machine at home. Lilly Kohler is an exchange student from Germany through Kiwi company, Your Education. She took up the offer of a machine and says it means she’s not behind the other students and she has been enjoying playing around with the design for a band bomber jacket.

“I already had all the material for all my textiles classes online. That’s how I manage my classroom practice, so it wasn’t hard for me to make the jump and the kids are used to that.

Especially with the four classes at the same time – I would normally set one up, tell them

“I pretty much changed the design for the bomber jacket for a concert. I researched band symbols and album covers for my band (German Punk band Die Ärzte) and arranged them and then I will hand-embroider them on to the jacket,” she says.

She teaches one combined class consisting of Level 1 Jewellery and Level 1, 2 and 3 Fashion and Textiles at the same time and says the class was already well set up for online learning.

Catherine Dawson ensured her textile students had sewing machines at home so work could continue during the lockdown.

CREATIVITY

Year 13 student Erika Rowe decided to make a bomber jacket featuring quilting.

Passion projects continue In planning for the lockdown, Catherine says her class of Year 13 textile students, who were in the middle of a project to develop and make a bomber jacket with a combination of an applied design and featuring two complex sewing procedures, discussed how they could continue their study and work remotely.

“They are each researching their own interests – a band that they love, and all the signs, symbols and imagery and they absolutely love that. The next natural phase was to start making the garment.

Because they are very creative and have quite a high skill level, I put it to them, ‘would you rather do the theory?’ and they said, ‘no we’d like to have a break because everyone else is loading us with lots of theory’.

“Through the weeks they had done a bit of trialling and testing and really liked the idea of embroidery, maybe mixed with a bit of screenprinting. Then that turned into them not having the

screenprinting or embroidery machine at home, but they can trial and test their own hand-embroidering and they are very happy to do that,” says Catherine.

At-home work Catherine says it has been interesting to see what the students are working on at home, something she doesn’t always get to see at school and she was delighted by a behind the scenes view in an online meeting with a Level 2 student.

“I asked her what she was doing in the background and she said she was hand-stitching while she was talking to me and it blew my mind – she had the most amazing sculptural animal headpieces.

“At the end of last year, I had sent her off to look up various designers and she had shown me photos of what she had been working on but I had never seen the actual pieces. There were five massive animal heads. They were inspired by one of the artist activists from the Honey Badger studio.

Erica Rowe will be using quilting, a technique her grandmother taught her: “I miss seeing her a lot during this lockdown and with each hexagon being hand-sewn together, it’s quite time-consuming. So it’s keeping me well occupied while I’m at home.”

Lilly’s designs were inspired by German Punk band Die Ärzte.

“I’m creating new courses they can do at home and they are also being more creative.”

Catherine Dawson

“I told her she’s already halfway there, why don’t I create the specific course for what she’s actually doing? I have basically rewritten the conceptual design and product design course for her,” says Catherine.

Challenges and opportunities While teaching and studying technology has allowed students the time and freedom to explore their passions, Catherine says she spent the school holidays rewriting the jewellery courses and adding new textile standards to make the course more manageable for students to do at home.

“It’s hard not being able to show them the hands-on stuff at the time, and the kids not having the materials at home has made me reflect on my teaching practice. I’m creating new courses they can do at home and they also are being more creative, so the challenges are also blessings as well.

“I have a mixed bag of kids and the most difficult thing is just getting the kids to show up to the classes and keeping them engaged. I think that’s a worldwide thing – the kids have all this access to an online environment and it’s just them self-managing that.

“I was impressed by the standard of work that they were completing at home. I knew they were independently working at home on their own creative projects, but now they have had the chance to dedicate more time to do their passion projects, they have excelled in taking their work to a higher level” she says. gazette.education.govt.nz

LEARNING PACKS

Whānau grateful for support “Thank you Jacinda Ardern!” says nine-year-old Charlee in a video his mum Nicole posted to Weston School’s Facebook page after he received a package of learning resources from the Ministry of Education.

“

It was a bit like Christmas – Charlee took maths to bed with him and has read a journal already,” Nicole Pamment posted.

Principal Deidre Senior says the school requested hardcopy packs for all 245 students at the semirural school just outside Oamaru.

“We decided to order the packs after having Otago Anniversary Day followed by a planned Teacher-only day before lockdown, meaning we didn’t have the chance to make up packs to go out to our children,” she says.

Deidre invited parents to post photographs of the children on Facebook and plenty of them posted photographs showing the delight of their tamariki when the learning packs arrived.

“With our online distance programmes and these hard copy packs we feel there is a great balance for our learners to keep them learning and inspired in what they do.

“We thought the hardcopy packs would add another element and a bit more variety and the opportunity for our students to engage in learning that was at their year level. I’d been keeping a good eye on the Learning at Home site the Ministry had set up and they let us know they were going to be sending some journals and maths work.

“It’s given teachers time. They’re going to make up additional packs to meet the individual needs of some children to supplement these packs,” she says.

Deidre says her staff have risen to the challenge of distance teaching even though they had little time to prepare and many of them had not used technology like Zoom before. Students are being offered a variety of learning opportunities including sets of tasks such as, prior to Anzac Day, baking Anzac biscuits and posting photographs of their baking online.

Learning packs The learning packs are a limited resource and have been targeted to those schools and students that need it the most, especially where there is no online learning.

Schools should continue to follow the School Bulletin for information on learning packs. The first round of orders has now closed.

Ruby LOVES the ruler that came in her pack.

“Our teachers have been running Zoom lessons, which the children are hooking into.

We started off by doing whole-class meetings but very quickly realised that was too many children to be talking at once, so now they are setting up reading groups and writing groups and just having some one-on-one sessions with some children.”

“With our online distance programmes and these hard copy packs, we feel there is a great balance for our learners to keep them learning and inspired in what they do.”

Deidre Senior Communicating to close-knit community Weston School works hard at communicating with children and whānau. Its Facebook page has 748 followers and 370 people subscribe to the online school newsletter.

“We’ve got a very supportive community.

What is lovely is that at this time when things aren’t normal, that support of the school is just happening in a different way. I have had a number of emails from parents thanking us for the effort the teachers are going to and how responsive they are in supporting their children at this time. It’s nice to know it’s been appreciated because we’ve all been thrown into this situation and we just have to deal with it.

“I understand that at times, this is stressful for parents, but I’m hopeful that they are also getting some nice time with their children and getting an understanding for how their children learn and engage in learning,” says Deidre. gazette.education.govt.nz

Whānau kōrero Shelley McGeown (parent)

Q: How are you coping doing school at home during the lockdown? What are the best things/worst things?

A: We are coping well, we have been doing lots of activities like puzzles, baking and Ruby has been writing stories about what she has been up to. It’s nice to be able to take our time and not be in a rush while doing some bookwork and also using the iPad to play the learning games/ activities online. We have got into a good routine each morning.

Q: What has helped you and your child the most?

A: We have been following the Weston School Facebook page and have found the links provided useful, such as listening to ebooks and the Lego challenge. There has been great communication from the school with updates each week and also a newsletter to keep us parents updated with any information/news.

Ruby’s teacher has been in contact through email with website links and logins for learning websites which Ruby has enjoyed using. She is able to work through the activities herself and listen to ebooks, which has been good as she doesn’t need me to be with her while she is doing this.

The Ministry of Education learning pack looks great and we are working our way

through a few pages each day. It was such a great idea to have hard copies of activities to do instead of staring at screens. Ruby watched the learning channel that was on TV but would rather do activities on the computer or iPad or write in books instead. She has enjoyed the Les Mills kids’ fitness classes that have been on TV every afternoon.

Q: What did you think when your pack came from MoE? A: I was HAPPY. It is very cool and I really love the ruler. I am excited to read the books.

Q: What’s it like doing school at home with your family?

A: It is fun, I can read to Mum, Dad and Mason (younger brother). I like to play Prodigy and listening to books on the computer.

Q: What are you enjoying the most about school at home?

A: I liked seeing my teacher and friends on Zoom.

Q: What do you miss the most about school?

A: I miss my friends and teacher – and playing with my friends.

We are providing this service free because we believe every Kiwi family has the right to be well, happy and together,” says Ani. “We aim to improve overall health and wellbeing using the te whare tapa wha (four walls of the whare) model, which focuses on spirit, mind, body and connectedness. These are all things everyone needs right now.”

LEARNING RESOURCES

The great outdoors Many organisations are keen to support teachers at this time. While we can’t get out and about as much as we would like to, many teachers are encouraging their students and their families to explore nature and the great outdoors through the Department of Conservation’s Learning from Home resource.

Among them is Nic Kibblewhite, a teacher at Discovery School in Porirua.

“I think this is a fabulous resource! The videos are useful to be able to use in class as a starter for either a conservation or biodiversity focus. I am intending to set these as a task to watch next week and allow the students to choose one or more of the follow-up activities to do while they are learning from home.”

The resource includes activities such as growing seeds (earn a medal), tracking the moon and making a star wheel, as well as taking photographs of nature, making art, creating a journal, and doing a conservation quiz. This complements Department of Conservation’s existing range of resources and material which support conservation teaching and learning in Aotearoa.

Also on offer is New Zealand Geographic’s new Together at Home resource. Every day photographs, videos, articles and activities for children on different themes and topics are posted. For example, Day 14 features a documentary video about Whakaari / White Island from Our Big Backyard Series; Day 8 features humpback whales and includes an article and activities which include learning about buoyancy using raisins, vinegar and baking soda.

Teachers and students can access the Together at Home activities and archived articles through their school’s EPIC (Electronic Purchasing In Collaboration) login or a $1 trial subscription, accessed through the website.

Teachers are also encouraging their students to make the most of what their own homes and gardens have to offer.

Anne Kata-Makahili from East Tamaki School has been encouraging her students to make the most of the Garden to Table Trust’s expertise with recipes and ideas for gardening activities.

“During the Covid-19 lockdown, students have enjoyed creating dishes with the G2T recipes I have sent. It has allowed for parents and children to spend a lot of time together - more than usual. The resources also foster the students’ reading, writing and maths learning and they are able to use their learning in a practical way,” says Anne.

Online reading challenge Many children and their families are also taking part in the Stay at Home Book Club, a new online reading challenge from Read New Zealand Te Pou Muramura (formerly NZ Book Council). The challenge is for primary and intermediate students who can choose an avatar – a native bird – and log the stories they read or listen to, along with a star rating and short review.

At the time of writing, Team Pīwakawaka is at the top of the leader board. In recognition of the fact that it’s difficult to buy or borrow a new book, Read New Zealand includes links to audio and video e-stories, along with Writer in Schools sessions and author activities.

Craig Sisterson, a New Zealander living in London, has enjoyed seeing his children take part in the Stay at Home Book Club and revisiting some Kiwi classics.

“We were stoked to sign up for the Stay Home Book Club – go Team Kākāpō! – as it helps us feeling connected to the wider Kiwi community, even if we’re on the other side of the world. A great initiative. It’s also been really cool to take part in some of the online story sessions, to mix up our physical book reading.” gazette.education.govt.nz

LEARNING RESOURCES

STEM at home Dr Michelle Dickinson – better known as Nanogirl – is also keen to support teachers at this time.

“We approached teachers to understand how we could help, and it was clear they wanted curriculum-based learning with a hands-on live experiment component,” she says.

So the team at Nanogirl Labs joined forces with the Ministry of Education and TVNZ’s Home Learning TV channel to create Breaking It Down, a series of six 30-minute STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) lessons aimed at Year 4–8 students.

In Breaking It Down, Michelle will be presenting STEM lessons that will involve experiments and activities that will be fun, interactive, and educational. Each programme is accompanied by a set of notes to help teachers plan lessons in advance and prepare their students for the topics to be covered. Teachers can sign up to participate.

Another STEM initiative capturing the imagination of Kiwi families is Genesis Schoolgen Mind Lab Kids, a partnership between Genesis School-gen and Mind Lab to provide free, safe access to hundreds of STEM online resources, challenges and activities that can be done at home. These include tips on building a website to working out what is recyclable and –

hot topic at the moment – what is sourdough and how does it work?

two age categories – one for students aged 15 to 19, and another for students aged 12 to 14.

“Science is my daughter’s absolute favourite subject, so the idea of making her own lava lamp blew her mind!” says Toni Street from Coast Breakfast.

The Earth Guardians competition calls for entrants to create a character to defend the earth, using nature and the elements to inspire their designs including details about where the character lives, its special powers and links to specific places, myths, legends, customary Māori narratives and deities.

Virtual museum visits School visits to the museum may be off for a while, but Auckland Museum (Tāmaki Paenga Hira) has launched a free online hub, Your Museum at Home, filled with stories, activities, videos and puzzles for all ages to enjoy. The museum has collated a broad range of stories that reflect the past, current and future work of Auckland Museum, including collection objects and stories, sneaky peaks behind the scenes and quirky facts.

Children can explore 3D models of the collection, take an interactive quiz about marine life, see inside a whale, or explore life in the ocean.

A series of animated short films transport viewers back in time to stories from when HMB Endeavour arrived in Aotearoa in 1769.

‘Earthger’ by Saint Kentigern’s College student Leticia was one entry that caught the judges’ attention. Saint Kentigern’s head of visual arts Rodney Stratton says other students have been inspired by Leticia’s success.

“This competition was great to be able to share with my students during the lockdown and with Leticia’s success we are now really excited to get even more students involved next year.”

Creativity and comedy

And for the comedians in your class, for the past three and a half years, Dean Watson from learncoach.com has been paying school kids to write hilarious jokes about high school and the competition is now featured on the Ministry’s TKI website for gifted learners.

Massey University’s College of Creative Arts has partnered with Weta Workshop to launch a new concept design competition called Earth Guardians to celebrate the launch of the university’s new Concept Design Major. There are

“Having a sense of humour about life is fantastic for students’ mental health. The comedy comp is a safe space and students are encouraged to take things too far so that they can learn where the edge of the cliff is,” says Dean.

“We are providing this service free because we believe every Kiwi family has the right to be well, happy and together.”
