Celebrating Us :)

At Yaldhurst Model School we look for any ways that we can notice and celebrate achievements and successes.  We are YMS HERO's.

H = Healthy Individual  E = Enthusiastic Learners   R = Responsible Citizen  O = Open-Minded Explorers

There is nothing we love more than to see something cool happening and recognise it.  Every one of our tamariki belongs to a HERO House.  Blue = Hillary, Green = Edger, Red = Rutherford and Yellow = Ormsby.

We have HERO cards that the pupils are awarded when we notice something great.  These add up for the individual but all cumulatively for the HERO house they belong to as well :)

Another way we celebrate in Te Kākano and Te Pihinga, is to have a 'Junior Hui' together where we learn to sing our National Anthem using NZ Sign Language and we hand out HERO and class certificates.

Our akōnga love receiving a certificate but really importantly celebrating when a friend gets one too!

We expect ALL our learners to be YMS HERO's and this is huge focus on daily life around our school :)
