ENGAGE workshop Thursday 28 November 7.30pm at Uplands. Everyone welcome and your friends are welcome too. RSVP by 25 Nov please.
Please see below for more detailed information about ENGAGE.
Engage is an evidence based approach that supports the development of children's self regulation skills through play - to support positive behaviour and learning outcomes at school, and contribute to positive life course outcomes through adolescence and into adulthood.

Engage focusses on three domains of self regulation: emotional (feeling), cognitive (thinking) and behavioural (doing). Engage also emphasises the use of language - to enhance the effectiveness of games for self regulation, and to support positive language development in early years.
Self regulation skills help us to control our emotions, thoughts and behaviours - our feeling, thinking and doing skills. Self regulation skills help us to: remember instructions, juggle two of more tasks at once, keep going with difficult or frustrating tasks, resist the temptation to do something that might not be good for us, wait for rewards, take turns, work well with others, recognise and manage our feelings, deal with difficult emotions (anger, fear, anxiety, frustration etc) and more.
Children use self regulation skills every day, whether it's sitting long enough to listen to a story, remembering a list of instructions and sticking to them, being able to take turns in the playground with other children, or recognising when they are frustrated and stopping themselves from hitting.
A child's behaviour is often a result of how their self regulation skills (feeling, thinking and doing skills) respond to the challenges they face in everyday situations (fear, surprise, frustration, excitement, confusion, anger, hunger, tiredness etc).
Self regulation is a skill, and skills can be improved with practice. People with strong self regulation skills make better decisions more often, and are able to function more effectively in a wider range of situations - leading to more positive outcomes across their lifespan.

Police have established a Major Operations Centre (MOC) to provide oversight of the Police response to the upcoming hīkoi from Northland to Wellington.

The MOC, based at Police National Headquarters in Wellington, is providing logistical, resource and communication support to all districts along the hīkoi route.
Major Operations Director Superintendent Kelly Ryan says Police have been engaged with hīkoi organisers for many weeks.
“Our discussions with organisers to date have been positive and we expect the hīkoi to be conducted in a peaceful and lawful manner,” she says.
The hīkoi is expected to leave Northland today (Monday 11 November) and travel to Wellington, arriving at Parliament between Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 November.

“We’ve planned for large numbers to join the hīkoi, with disruption likely to some roads, including highways and main streets along the route,” Superintendent Ryan says.
“The MOC will support our frontline, district-based staff with the management of people, vehicles and activities, while also maintaining central oversight.
“We will continue to co-ordinate with iwi leaders and our partners across government to ensure public safety and minimal disruption to people going about their daily routine.
“We’re also well connected with NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi and local councils to ensure road users have up-to-date information and can plan accordingly.
“The MOC will remain in place while the hīkoi is in Wellington and as participants make their way back home safely.”
