Newsletter Issue #2

Discipline is your Superpower

 

We will complete our first full uninterrupted week of the term today.
This is the first of 6 weeks with no known interruptions to our schooling and learning here at Waitākere College for term 1.
This establishment of our routines and systems that we can all follow and embed over this period allows us to build confidence and certainty at a personal level and College level.

Our Waitākere Way is built around our tenets of Respect, Caring and Learning. By having positive routines and systems we create great structures to approach any challenges as they occur with more confidence.
Our role as a College is to ensure we embed the best systems, structures and routines for our teachers, students, family and whānau in place and support these with the discipline and determination to move forward.
Gilbert Enoka, our leading motivational leader in New Zealand, describes it simply "Structure is King, Discipline is your Superpower."
Embrace the next six weeks with confidence.
