Kia ora @Welly_ED #wellyed peeps. Just wanted to share an awesome opportunity to attend the DSANZ (dance) July workshops/conference, ON THE MOVE, in Wellington over 22nd-24th July, 2022 at the end of the term 2-3 school holidays for FREE. Pass it on. forms.gle/5jwTtRG7tZZC1U…

Started reading I am not Esther to my class this week and they are HOOKED! Made me think of you @klbeasley and year 7 so many years ago (let’s not count how many) - loved it then and love it now.

@Welly_ED @fivefoot3 @NStevenson Keen

Hey there #wellyed folk @fivefoot3, @NStevenson and I (DG) we were thinking it’s time we hustled up a catch up. Something like Southern Cross - an after school or during the school break thing. What are peoples date preferences? Last Friday of school break? 23rd July?

@fivefoot3 @insideoutkoaro It was awesome!

Still buzzing after hosting our first ever rainbow group at school. We had 50 students who identified as Rainbow or an ally. They all shared their ideas of how to bring our group together & activate safer more inclusive environments for everyone🤩 @insideoutkoaro #pride #WellyEd

@KateStanforth Yaaay! I saw your story over on IG and was like wait what?! Congrats on coming out. Happy pride!

Happy Pride ❤️ I still have lots to learn about in the LGBQT+ community and I thank everyone who helps educate me 📚 It’s taken a LONG time, but thanks to my best friends I’m now confident enough to tick the ‘bi’ box on forms which I was always terrified to do 🌈

#ReoTips Kia ora e te whānau 🤙 Kia ora whānau 👎 (Unless you're talking to a person whose name happens to be 'Whānau')

Work with us! We're looking for a new Wellington Schools Coordinator to support our work making schools more rainbow inclusive. Learn more at the link below! Applications close 1st April. insideout.org.nz/seeking-wellin…

@emmakaiako Wholehearted Counselling have great resources - a lot of them free. They sell through TpT.

Kia ora! Does anyone out there have any great child-friendly (the more simple the better) resources around positive self-talk. Especially prompts etc that they'd be willing to share? Have a student that dysregulates frequently as they have a negative view of themselves.

Can you help improve intersex data and how it is collected in Aotearoa NZ? ianz.org.nz/2021/02/can-yo…

@MaccaISMS I have so many students with phones in my class this year. How do we feel about doing this with our age students?

Need more conversations about making pronouns visible in schooling / education spaces. Inclusion in the workplace: Civil servants use pronouns in email signatures) (stuff.co.nz/pou-tiaki/1242…)

@dianagracenz We definitely do. Thinking about what this might look like for our students/in our school? @MaccaISMS @fivefoot3 @d4ni31mi113r

So awesome to celebrate international #WomenInScience day at school yesterday with a windmill building STEM challenge and a screening of Hidden Figures. Got back to class & 4 of my girls were gushing about how much they enjoyed the movie.

@MaccaISMS You mean most other days aren’t?

@MaccaISMS @d4ni31mi113r @fivefoot3 I'm thinking maybe some kind of practical/fun something at lunch in hall for anyone who wants to give it a go, and a screening of Hidden Figures (about the NASA female mathematicians) in the PM block for those interested could be cool? What do you think?

Just discovered Thursday is UN #womeninscience day. @MaccaISMS @d4ni31mi113r @fivefoot3 want to help me run something? Not sure what yet...

Birthday adventures yesterday for my now 7 year old nature boy! Baby goats that eat out of your hand - what more do you need?

@MaccaISMS @TeamNewlandsint @fivefoot3 Oh my goodness! Bet some of mine were right in there!

@MaccaISMS Haha! Not surprised!

We’re so excited to see all these rainbow MPs heading into government, particularly @EKerekere who will be bringing rainbow issues to the forefront, having worked in our communities for so long! 🏳️‍🌈 Thanks for talking with us @nzherald
