in health we are learning about Taha wairua (spiritual well being). Spiritual Well Being is about the ability to experience and integrate meaning and purpose in life. Also being connected to family and having a set of values. connecting with others, feeling a sense of belonging and forgiveness. Spiritual Well Being can be described differently in many ways but generally relates to someone’s sense of purpose and self awareness to things. So this week we are focusing on kindness. we are doing a RAK ( random acts of kindness) for my RAK i will be helping teachers and also students with finishing school work. its important to show kindness to people especially someone having a bad day.
I am a Year 10 student in the Uru Mānuka Cluster. This is a place where I will share my learning. Please note that some of it will not be complete, it will be my first drafts. Remember to be positive, thoughtful and helpful when you leave a comment.
