WE are the meaning of Integrity!

Normal situations in school call on us all to show strength of character.
When it is hard to make the RIGHT choices, it is our INTEGRITY which pulls us through!
This is something Mandela Kids have plenty of!

So, so, so much STUFF !

Click on the picture to view this movie by Annie Leonard.

How much rejected, discarded "stuff" can our planet "hold?"

(Not to mention how much of its precious resources are used up while making it all in the first place!)

In your comments below think about your OWN stuff.... the things you NEED compared to the things you might just WANT. Think about what you might be willing to give up, just in order to survive.

Imagine you are offered a one-way hot air balloon ride to the most wonderful place you could ever dream of going to live. You and your family and one friend will fit it the balloon basket, only if you each take only one regular-sized knapsack. More space and weight than that, and the balloon won't get off the ground! What would you pack in that bag? What will you be sad to leave behind?

Now, tell the WWW and all its inhabitants what you value!

We're a Homophobia-Free Zone #5

Fifth in our series of videos supporting inclusive language and attitude in our school, this installment by our grade 6 students is not to be missed. We think this will inspire others to be vigilant about bully-language in general and anti-homophobia in particular.


Make sure you tell us what YOU think! Click comments, below. Use only your first name....
