Taha Wairua, or spiritual well-being, is the focus in this Health Promoting Schools magazine. Taha Wairua refers to the values and beliefs that determine the way people live, the search for meaning and purpose in life, personal identity and self-awareness. On page two you can read about how, through creating a protective Maori cloak known as a Korowai, Kavanagh College staff and University of Otago College of Education second year student teachers learned about Taha Wairua.

As usual there are a number of articles about various health promoting initiatives and programmes involving Southern district schools. The front page article outlines what Harlene Hayne ( Vice-Chancellor, University of Otago ) presented to parents and students about brain development and the effects that alcohol has on the

developing brain and brain function in young people. Articles about school run initiatives include Cromwell Primary School’s ‘Community Crusaders’ and the Breakfast Clubs being run in four Southland schools. Other health related programmes offered by outside agencies for school students include Evelyn Mann’s workshop about accepting a new ‘difficult’ student, the first aid programmes run by the Red Cross and the ‘Drive to Survive’ programme about car safety. There is also an article about the anti bullying project which is currently being developed in Eastern Southland.

From everyone on the Health Promoting Schools team we hope that you enjoy this final Health Promoting Schools magazine of 2013 and wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season!

Alcohol consumption and abuse, and risk-taking among New Zealand adolescents is high by international standards. Parents and teachers can often struggle to provide boundaries, guidance and support. To address these issues and help up skill parents and staff, Cromwell College, in collaboration with CODA (Central Otago Drink Aware) organised for Vice-Chancellor and Psychologist Harlene Hayne of University of Otago to present to the school.

Harlene Hayne presented at two sessions. The first session was for Year 11 & 12 students and focused on what they should expect at University. Harlene highlighted the range of facilities available at the University of Otago and the academic and social activities. The advice was given for potential university students to explore all course options and being open to change direction of study, if it wasn’t what was expected. Harlene’s academic advice included encouraging students to “form a study group” and sharing the advice from previous first year students which was “go to class”.

The community evening session was well attended. The intention was to look at why teenagers engaged in risky behaviours, specifically binge drinking and cannabis use, as well as society’s obligations to teenagers. Initially Harlene discussed why adolescents engage in risky behaviour. Harlene asked the question “Why do adolescents do things that 9 year old children would not do?” Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) which involves scanning the brain to measure brain activity, researchers have shown that the prefrontal cortex of the brain continues to develop until the age of 22 years, maybe even until age 25. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for brain functions that underpin critical thinking, perseverance, organisation, attention span, judgment, impulse control and the ability to learn from mistakes. This explains why adolescents may engage in risky behaviour; they lack the reasoning thought

processes that adults use to make decisions particularly under emotionally-charged conditions.

Supported by this research Harlene encouraged adults to take responsibility for adolescents by:

• Establishingclearboundariesandclearconsequencesforoverstepping these boundaries

• Findingnewwaystochanneladolescents’desireforrisk-taking into more positive and creative ways.

Harlene went on to look at the impact of alcohol on the developing brain. Seventy five percent of adolescents in New Zealand are frequent binge drinkers (Connor et al., 2012). Other fMRI research which has investigated the brain function of 16 – 17 year olds has found that a sober heavy drinker had significantly less brain activity than a sober non-drinker. Similarly, when a healthy female brain was compared to a female brain that engaged in weekend binge drinking, there was less brain activity (Tapert et al., 2001; Tapert et al., 2004).

This research highlighted the potentially long term effects of binge drinking on the developing brain. From this Harlene’s advice was simple, no alcohol for teenagers. Similarly longitudinal research on exposure to cannabis has demonstrated that long-term addiction to cannabis is associated with a decrease in IQ (Meier et al, 2012).

Harlene finished the evening by putting the responsibility back onto the parents of teenagers and wider society in general, reiterating teenagers needed support, boundaries and safe risk-taking channels.

In their own learning communi1es the Kavanagh College Kaimahi (staff) and University of Otago College of Educa1on (UOCE) second year student teachers both explored the prac1cal ideas of working with cultural competencies(1). The outcome for both was the crea1on of a Korowai, a par1cular type of protec1ve Māori Kākahu (cloak). A special whānau (family) cloak. The significance of the Korowai is that it represents the mana (special skills) of the creators of the unique cloak. During the crea1on, the Korowai gathers its own mauri (life-‐force), derived from the par1cipa1on and partnership of the creators as they kōrero (talk) and build on one another's ideas to craP the Korowai together . The crea1on process takes 1me and pa1ence-‐kotahitanga me te ako, building rela1onships and building learning. The lining of the cloak for Kavanagh College was woven together with cultural competencies, school values and the concept of Hauora(2). For UOCE student teachers the lining of the cloak was woven together with the cultural competencies, underlying concepts of par1cular learning areas and the concept of Hauora. The individual feathers decora1ng the cloak, to look aPer the chosen concepts. The feathers resemble the pūmanawa (personal aUributes and interests) each person brings to teaching rangatahi (young people) and the learning communi1es (3).

Rii Wainui is one of several teachers at Te Wharekura O Arowhenua who prepare and serve students breakfast every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning before school. “Porridge is the most popular” she says. “Not many students were interested in eating it when I first made it but now I have to make heaps!” Students also get Weetbix, milk, toast and sometimes spaghetti on toast or tinned fruit. Attendance at each breakfast is high and as a result “it can get very busy” Rii says. Students help out by doing dishes, putting away food, wiping tables and bench tops as well as filling the pig scraps and recycling bins.

Breakfast Club was started at Longford Intermediate in the final term of 2011. Every Tuesday and Thursday a breakfast of toast, fresh fruit and cereal is available in the school hall for students. Breakfast Club is very popular with anywhere from 35-50 children attending each session. Students are allowed to ‘eat on the go’ and many play games while eating their breakfast. Principal Shona Hewlett explains that “Breakfast Club is more than just food – it’s about the social aspects as well”. At each session there are a number of adults in attendance including school staff members and community volunteers. Breakfast Club enables adults and students to interact and connect in an informal setting.

For over a decade, Mataura School has provided students with breakfast every morning before school. The breakfast options include Weetbix, milk, toast and

Milo. Community volunteers are placed on a roster to help serve students. These volunteers were found by placing an advertisement in the local newspaper. “The response was fantastic”, says Principal Susan Dennison. “Some of the volunteers don’t have a child at the school but want to help out anyway”. Having adult volunteers provides “students with the opportunity to learn and develop social skills – especially how to communicate with adults,” Susan says.

Principal Erin Cairns decided to start up a Breakfast Cafe Club earlier this year at Ruru School. Every Tuesday and Friday, students can eat Weetbix, toast and milk in the school kitchen. Two staff members are responsible for putting out the food items and cleaning up. They

are supported by a number of staff members (who help assist the younger/higher needs students). Older students are able to serve themselves and they also help out by washing and drying their own dishes. Having the Breakfast Cafe Club has provided students with the opportunity to both eat a nutritious breakfast and learn life and socialisation skills..

If your school is interested in starting a food (breakfast and/or lunch) programme, a national supporting document which will contain guidelines and recommendations for how to start and run a food programme will be available at the start of 2014. If you would like to be sent this document please contact your region’s Health Promoting Schools Advisor (see back page for contact details).

What's been happening...

Warepa School is a full primary rural school in South Otago and has been a part of the community since 1858. On arriving at the school it is evident the school supports a healthy lifestyle – the children are welcoming, the school has their own fitness circuit and a local contractor with a small digger was building vegetable gardens and a site for a glass house.

As part of the school’s professional development three teachers attended a health focused process drama workshop sponsored by Public Health South. The workshop was run by Evelyn Mann from Dramaworkz. The workshop was to develop a teaching unit based on a school assembly. At the assembly Evelyn through the character of “Millie” is on a mission to find another school after she has been asked to leave other schools. As you can guess “Millie “is a challenging character with whom we can all identify with.

The Warepa teachers immediately identified this as an opportunity for their students. This fitted well with one of their key characteristics of a Warepa learner - caring through respect and valuing others and they saw the process drama as a way of developing this. Warepa students are encouraged to be risk takers in a range of different contexts so they saw the students as able to “take the risk” to learn through a drama context.

The school engaged Evelyn for an assembly and afterwards Evelyn took a workshop with classes to develop their knowledge and understanding of “Millie”. The classes developed 10 second video clips of how “Millie” had got into trouble at her previous school. These video clips were of incidences that could occur in any school playground. Through Evelyn’s skilful questions and the children’s discussion they came to a greater understanding of “Millie”. Through drama techniques like developing “frozen images” the children were able to explore how “Millie” would be feeling going to a new school. The “role on the wall” is a technique where a child’s shape is traced onto a piece of paper then there is a discussion on how “Millie” feels on the inside and the outside influences on her life.

After developing an understanding of “Millie” Evelyn left Warepa School with the challenge to the children of how they could meet the needs of “Millie” and integrate her into their school community.

Southland Schools Breakfast Programmes

Breakfast is arguably the most important meal of the day – especially for children – which researchers say improves academic performance. Due to its importance a large number of New Zealand schools run a breakfast programme. This article outlines the breakfast programmes being run at four Southland schools.

In July, the Remarkables Primary School hosted their first ever ‘Changing Times’ workshop. The purpose of the evening focused on the challenges faced by adolescents as they navigate their journey through puberty. Forum topics included information on changing bodies and feelings, healthy decision making and support systems. The evening allowed Year 7 and 8 students and their parents the opportunity to hear the same information together, with the hope that this workshop would provide a platform for further conversations surrounding these topics to take place at home.

The Changing Times workshop included presentations from Bridget Armour(Sexual Health Promotions Advisor) who discussed the physical changes and highlighted that these physical changes are also accompanied by changes in thoughts and feelings too. Beth Fookes (Police Education Officer) discussed drugs and alcohol and highlighted the importance of parents being great role models. Mary Ferguson (Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist) discussed anxiety and how students need support and understanding from their parents as they transition into adolescence. Jacqui Moir (Youth Worker) gave tips for standing up against peer pressure and provided some insight into what high school may be like. The ‘Changing Times’ workshop was part of a week-long Health Education Week.

Well done Remarkables Primary School for the great evening.

At Tahuna Open Night Nick and Ashleigh enjoyed promoting the Smokefree message at Tahuna’s Open Night where the Year 8 health resources were shared. They enjoyed handing out stickers with the smokefree message. They ran a mini quiz about New Zealand becoming smokefree by 2025 and showed the Health Promotion Agency’s resource Our Smokefree School, He Kura Auahi Kore Smokefree resources.

A Public Health Issue in our City

By Louis Freeman, a Year 8 Student at Tahuna

As part of the Otago Science Fair, a friend and I studied the water that enters Dunedin’s harbour. The quality of the water was tested from four different streams flowing into the harbour. These tests included lead, pesticides, nitrates, nitrites, PH, hardness, chlorine and bacteria. After waiting 48 hours for the bacteria to grow, we discovered some very shocking results; two of the four tests came back positive for E. coli flowing down into our harbour. These two sites were the Leith stream and a stream over by the Marne St Rest-home.

What does this mean? E. coli is not just a problem for the aquatic life but it is also a problem for us. These bacteria can cause a serious

infection, especially in children and elderly people. This infection can cause a sore stomach and bad diarrhoea or sometimes it will give kidney problems or even death. The sad bit is that E. coli usually comes from sewage and if we have sewage running into our harbour then we have got another problem because I don’t think I’d like to swim in a harbour full of poop!

Something must be done about it. Because E. coli is a nasty bug, it feels important to share this discovery with someone who knows what to do with the information. This could include the Dunedin City Council water testing people, or Public Health South water testing specialists.

Community CrusadersStudents from Cromwell Primary School are actively involved in and contributing to their community through their “Community Crusaders” initiative. Every year in Term 3 approximately 30 students give up their Wednesday lunchtime to visit the elderly in the community. They alternate between visiting Ripponburn Rest Home and a group called “Care & Friendship”, a daytime community activities programme for the elderly.

The Community Crusaders initiative came about as a way to give back to the community, as many people contribute to the local school. Initially it was offered as part of a lunchtime activity programme, designed to support students who required more structure during their lunch breaks. However, it soon became clear that Community Crusaders should become a regular feature of our school programme. Students, parents and the elderly valued the huge impact it had on everyone involved.

Community Crusaders is a reciprocal programme in which both the young and old benefit and learn a lot from the connection. Karen Huffadine (Deputy Principal and Community Crusaders Founder) says the children connect so naturally with the elderly and learn wonderful life skills from the programme. Each week the Community Crusaders have a focus activity with their buddy which may be a quiz, sharing technology such as an ipad, games or photos. The focus activity supports the children by providing a conversation starter.

A common theme among all the Community Crusaders interviewed was the enjoyment of connecting with their buddies, hearing about what life was like when their buddies were at school and sharing what school is like now. When asked why they became a Community Crusader, the students gave the following responses. Mitai enjoyed sharing new technology he has access to with his buddy, John enjoyed being able to tell his buddy about what life is like now, Mystique said she became a Community Crusader as a way of getting to know elderly people. Senior Citizen Jean said she enjoyed talking with the children, as it was a long time since she was at school.

Contribution is one of Cromwell Primary School’s values. Every Wednesday lunchtime during Term 3, the Community Crusaders can be seen confidently putting this value into practice.

Drive to Survive Elton Crane, Road Safety Co-ordinator, ran a Drive to Survive Programme with year 12 Students from three Waitaki schools. The programme was delivered in partnership with NZ Police, St John’s Fire Brigade, the Road Safety Council, Victim Support and the Emergency Department at the Dunedin hospital.

The 3 hour programme was based around a ficticious case study that rang true for the students. Aaron picked up Laura in his father’s car as they were off to a party. Fortified with some Dutch courage and Laura not wearing a seat belt the resulting accident killed Laura and badly injures Aaron. The services acted out their role at the accident scene. The number of people, resources and time to ensure the safety of the victim unfolded.

The large group of students was divided into smaller groups to go around three workshops. Maintaining the safety standards of your car was well covered and the science behind good tyres and the dangers in modifying your car without expert advice was explained. The affect on the community of an accident in Gore that killed a toddler was examined.

Perhaps for the young people the most salutary speaker was Nathan who was in a car crash in 2001 but following the accident his life took a different journey. He had been a top sportsman and was planning a career as an engineer. At the end of the session the students listened in hushed silence as he explained the effect of living with a brain injury and the journey towards getting some normalcy into his life after his accident eleven years ago.

An excellent reminder to us all of the responsibility we have when behind the wheel of our car.

People Savers

New Zealand Red Cross is pleased to be able to offer People Savers to your school. People Savers has been providing basic first aid training to students across New Zealand for many years. Last year over 13,000 students, aged between 8 and 12 years old successfully completed their basic first aid with us.

A qualified Red Cross Community Trainer delivers the course at your school and People Savers can be a stand-alone course or part of a teacher-planned unit of work or inquiry.

The course supports the curriculum, particularly Health and Physical Education, Science and Social Studies and is suitable for school years 4 – 8 (students aged 8 - 12 years).

People Savers requires 4 hours of instruction time or one school day with your normal breaks. During the course students will learn their DRSABC, how to call for help, how to respond to broken bones, poisons, and burns and scalds.

SAM - Save a MateHarm Minimisation Programme

New Zealand Red Cross also delivers the 90 minute Save-a-Mate course in secondary schools and other youth settings. The goal of the Save-a-Mate course is to equip young people to save a mate from the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol.

This is a non-judgemental programme that aims to reduce harm from commonly used substances that young people are exposed to. Save-a-Mate covers the signs and symptoms of an overdose, alcohol and other drug classifications as well as risk factors and the effect partying has on the central nervous system. The ultimate message is—STAY WITH YOUR MATE.

Free school programmes offered by New Zealand Red Cross

In May 2013 the Community Networking Trust (CNT) made a successful application for funding from the Ministry of Social Development’s Te Punanga Haumaru Fund. This funding will be used to implement initiatives which aim to reduce all types of youth bullying, increase pro-social behaviours and increase resiliency in young people who live in the Eastern Southland area. Feedback from young people in Eastern Southland indicates that bullying is the number one issue that affects them. To help address this issue, a community wide strategic plan will be created which will require input from a wide range of people in the Eastern Southland community. Overseeing and implementing this plan will be a project manager who will be assisted by a management group. The first step to achieving these outcomes involves

raising awareness and understanding of the anti-bullying strategy. It is felt that building community awareness about bullying is the key to enabling sustainable change. As awareness is raised, it is expected that there could be an increase and spike in the number of reported cases of bullying and people seeking support. Therefore a number of initiatives and interventions will be established which provide support for those in the community who need it.

The initiatives to help parents/caregivers include being provided with information about the parenting support and stopping violence programmes available in Eastern Southland. They will also establish a support network for people to learn about and implement positive strategies to protect and support children from bullying.

Young people will be helped by teaching them a) positive strategies to deal with bullying and b) how to build resiliency. To do this a number of programmes (such as Friends for Life) will be run. Group interventions will be made available for children who have experienced bullying (both victims and perpetrators). There are also plans to increase the number of opportunities for vulnerable children to access social, creative and cultural activities and promote and create safe, supportive and accessible youth hubs.

The timeframe for this project is from September 2013 to the end of August 2014. For more information about this project or to find out how to be involved please contact Robyn Morris on 03 2088480 (ext 7) or by email at [email protected].

A year long community wide project to address issues about bullying is under way in Eastern Southland.

Several schools are working towards achieving a Gold Healthy Heart Award. Promoting healthy nutrition messages to the school’s wider community is an important element of the award. Invercargill’s Southland Girls High School and St Josephs have both been creative in the way they have shared their nutrition knowledge.

Year 8 students from Southland Girls’ High School undertook an inquiry titled ‘Minds Alive’ and learned about healthy eating, they then shared what they knew with the senior students of Waihopai Primary School. Here are some photos of their presentation to the school with games and activities they used to educate the primary school children.

The St Josephs school ‘healthy heart team’ developed their own school’s healthy lunch box poster to promote to their school community and fellow students. Not settling for displaying in their school foyer and newsletter alone, they decided to share with their wider community by displaying their poster at the local church and neighbouring

marae. Here are photos of the health team who were thrilled to personally present their poster to Father Chris O’Neill at St Mary’s Basilica.
