The story so far....

Beannachtai La Feile Phadraig libh go leir! Happy Saint Patricks Day to you all. I sincerely hope the luck of the green is with you all this year! Today is a very special day for me and I feel like celebrating!! I want to share with you some of the wonderful reasons for celebrating that are going on all throughout Breens at the moment.
This year, we have a real buzz of proactive enterprise about the school. We have students participating in the governance of the school in a number of positive ways. Our students are leaders in our school and in our community. Our School Council, House Captains, Head leadership team, Jump Jam Leaders, Sports Council and Kapa Haka Leaders are some of our young leaders who are taking the initiative and leading the Breens way. It is an inspiration to watch your children participate in our community with such fervour and positivity. They are a credit to their families!
We are now adding to this extensive list of leadership opportunities with the development of our Peer Mediator programme. A group of students who have been elected to the role will participate in Leadership Camp next week. The central theme of this camp will be leadership as a peer mediator and will begin the training and support that these students will continue to get as they strive to make a difference at our school.
We are very proud of the efforts of our leaders within the Breens community. Later this year, our young leaders will extend their focus into the wider community and work with different groups to make a difference. If you have any suggestions or ideas for ways in which you would like to see our young people involved throughout the community, please do feel free to contact me to discuss it. I can be reached by phone at 3598108, ext 810 or by email at corrina.bailey@breens.school.nz We look forward to sharing our wonderful leaders and their inspirational attitude with our community. We can all benefit from their example!
