Geese-team challenge

As each goose flaps its wings, it creates an ‘uplift’ for the birds that follow. By flying in a ‘V’ formation, the whole flock adds 71% extra flying range. LESSON: People who share a sense of community can HELP each other get where they are going more easily - because they are travelling on the TRUST of one another.

THIS MEANS TO OUR GROUP They work together to get more power and be stronger,therefore working together.

When a goose falls out of formation it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back to take advantage of the lifting power of the birds in front. LESSON: If we have as much sense as geese we stay in formation with those HEADED where we want to go. We are willing to accept their HELP and GIVE our help to others because they are travelling on the TRUST of one another.

THIS MEANS TO OUR GROUP We help and trust each other so we can go places and be the best we can be.

When the lead goose tires, it drops back into the formation and another goose flies to the point position. LESSON: It pays to TAKE TURNS doing the hard tasks. We should RESPECT and PROTECT each other's unique arrangement of skills, capabilities, talents and resources.

THIS MEANS TO OUR GROUP We take turns and give each other a rest and we each play our own part.

The geese flying in formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up with their speed. LESSON: We need to make sure our honking is encouraging. In groups where there is encouragement, PRODUCTION is much greater. Individual empowerment results from QUALITY honking!!!

THIS MEANS TO OUR GROUP We need to encourage and help each other so we can accomplish tasks and get the best results.

When a goose gets sick, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it. LESSON: If we have as much sense as geese we will STAND by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.

THIS MEANS TO OUR GROUP We support each other in our group when others are suffering.

Extending school by one hour

Dear the select committee

 I have heard that you are discussing extending the school day by one hour. I think this is a good idea but with a little bit of tweaking it would be a great idea. First of all by the time school ends the students will be hungry so it would be a great idea to have a afternoon break and maybe a snack. 7 hours of sitting down probably isn’t best for their young bones so an extra time in PE would be great and beneficial for the students.

  Not everyone will agree with an extra hour of school every day so I don’t think the extra hour of school should be used for work. If it was used for an extra hour of work, students will be tired. The extra hour should be used for something enjoyable and not to tiring. Students should get a choice on how they get to spend that extra hour. Like for example at Havelock North Intermediate we have electives, which I have noticed students enjoy very much.

  I hope these recommendations have come in use.

  Your sincerely Liberty
