Our International Student Ambassadors
Launch ‘Tamariki Time’
Gloria Kim and Aya Burt,
International Student Ambassadors for Tauriko School, have done an incredible
job launching ‘Tamariki Time’. Gloria and Aya brainstormed ways in which our
international students can be supported during their transition to school,
while having fun with their peers. ‘Tamariki Time’ is about bringing cultures together and making new friends through games, fun and laughter.
‘Tamariki Time’ takes place on a Monday lunch time for junior students
and a Thursday lunch time for senior students. Students do not need to
officially join this group. The group is open every week for newcomers, and our
International Ambassadors will continue to welcome those who choose to come
regularly. It is so heart-warming to see students of all nationalities, ages
and genders come together and get to know one another. After all, we all smile
in the same language.
We are now looking for expressions of interest from students who would
like to be an International Student Ambassador for 2018. The
Tauriko School International Ambassador Leadership award is given annually to
students in recognition for outstanding contributions to the International
Community of Learners at Tauriko School. We are inviting students currently in
Years 5, 6 and 7 to apply for this award for 2018. Applications close on Friday
8th December. Application forms are available through classroom
teachers.
