Tino Rangatiratanga: Students leading the learning
‘Ma whero ma pango ka oti ai te mahi’ (With red and black the work will be complete) The Newmarket School student leadership focus is whakawhanaungatanga. Whakawhanaugatanga is everyone working together to support each other and there is no one right way of doing something. This session highlights the use of modern learning tools to step-up a school ‘Students as Leaders’ initiative. Newmarket School continues to pride itself on having a strong student leadership programme that focuses on cultural responsiveness and acknowledges the students as Taonga. Senior students take on various leadership roles in the school, focusing on collaboration, empowerment, coaching, and growing self-efficacy. Students and parents have indicated that receiving a Newmarket School Leadership Badge is a highly prized acknowledgment of capabilities. Newmarket School’s Leadership Programme is a means for students to embody the core competencies and develop manakitanga. This programme values success and benefits all. In order to grow the leadership programme and to develop greater student ownership and efficacy students have developed a personalised leadership passport. This exciting step required students to document and receive feedback and utilises digital tools. As school kaitiaki the students are sharing their leadership initiatives with a wider community and collaborating with others in their multifaceted leadership roles and projects. In this workshop the history of the student leadership programme will be shared, cultural responsiveness discussed, and the use of digital literacies to enhance student engagement that provide a platform for making connections and collaborations. Videos will be shown of student learning in leadership, in particular how they problem-solve and collaborate on aspects of their leadership work. Evidence of learning as a social activity will be shown. The use of a variety of multimodal tools enhances a widely valued programme and provides an opportunity for the student leaders to showcase their gifts and talents. Participants at this workshop will learn about the key aspects of developing a rich leadership programme, such as: · Systems for managing a leadership programme including flexible approaches to learning · Student mentoring and coaching at multi-levels and have their needs at the centre of their learning · Collaboration and dissemination of learning to explore elements of good learning design Noo wenei pakiaka ka tupu e rakau kaha. ‘From these roots shall strong trees grow.’

Editor's Notes

- I was once asked the question that if i could model myself on any other teacher who would it be? My immediate reply was my whanau. My mum spent quite a bit time ensuring we meet as many of our whanau as we could as well as fundraising for her belovedmarae. Dad’s passion was teaching others about bee-keeping and the value of money! They are both gone now but their legacy lives on and I cherish their values. I hope that in 25 minutes I can share enough info that might help you to start your own leadership programmes - I hope that’s why you came! I’m passion about it and I hope you will see there are methods in my madness!
- The focus quickly shifted when the children indicated that they want to show that they were capable of leading in other areas. There has been much trial and error with growing the programme especially with who obtains a badge and how we record this. This year we have been working on a passport system to make it more transparent to all involved - still a work in progress. 60% of the year six students have their badges. In three weeks time I will be awarding 3 more.
- Parents have been very supportive not only with their feedback about the programme but with encouraging their children to persevere with their leadership initiatives. Checking in with the children, staff and their parents has been one of the keys to success and sustainability. Ensuring the parents are informed of when their child receives a badge is vital as it gives another chance to celebrate success.
- Over the years we have had a huge variety of clubs. The most popular ones are dance, cooking art and crafts, lego and sport. Many of the clubs have run in the library, playground or in classrooms. Clubs are a great way for children to socialise as well as practising the skills they want to enhance. I’ve become less of a control freak as the children continue to surprise me the level of thinking and organisation they put into their fabulous clubs. They adjust as they go! Back off Eilleen!
- This year the leadership programme has involved Y2 - Y6 students. Before a club can start the children must check in with me - this can be done in our meeting times or they will track me down! The clubs are run at different times of the day - before school, morning tea and lunch. Staff have been great with either offering their rooms or looking after a club.
- The children are very involved with fundraising events in the school. Cookie Day and Market Day are great ways to identify your budding entrepreneurs in the school. Thank god for Youtube tutorials on loom bands! The Moon Cake festival was a fantastic way of students sharing their culture with others.
- A very important celebration that builds strong relationships and learning with our community. Student leaders work with other students and whanau to organise the annual Matariki Disco. The photo booth and loom band bracelets were a huge hit. The highlight for me was awarding a badge to the child that organised it - her sister had organised the disco two years ago.
- This year we have been using Kids Blog - this has been a useful way for students to connect and communicate about projects or clubs happening in the school. Students have been advertising their clubs via the blogs. Last term some of the children start to experiment with google forms to gather information for our upcoming Market Day.
- This is our four year of being involved with the Sir Peter Blake Leader Award. This year we visited the Maritime Museum and Sir Peter Blake Trust - it was awesome! Good resources for their website http://www.sirpeterblaketrust.org/get-involved/blake-young-leader-award/
- A wonderful chance for students to practice their hosting skills as well as meet……...Hip-Hop Artists, Principals, Authors, Doctors, Lawyers, Bee-Keeper, Athletes, Perfects, Museum Curator, Head Girl, House Captains, Musicians, Artist, Florist, Fashion Designers, Engineers, Nursing, Cancer Researcher, Circus Act etc T
- A great success especially making connections with a diverse array of people that shared their life stories with the children.
- Our school is an enviro school so Respect for the Environment is an important of our school ethos. Over the years the children have been involved in many projects with this.
- We are a PB4L school and respect for the environment is one of our main expectations - a green band! Last term I worked alongside the Y2/3 teachers and students this was an opportunity to identify emerging leaders.
- If children can identify themselves early as leaders and what leadership should look like then this is a really good next step for the programme. Recording their journey will be something we’ll need to refine.
