Sandy Evans Manaakitanga Award
Sandy Evans, a teacher aid here for 16 years, died suddenly in a tragic accident in January 2012. Sandy had an enormous empathy for all students and particularly those she worked with.
The Board of Trustees has created a Manaakitanga Memorial for Sandy as we all feel she embodied the principles of manaakitanga – extending the hand of friendship, finding positives in all activities, exemplifying tolerance, kindness and empathy to others.
This memorial will be awarded each term to the student that staff feel is the most worthy recipient from the designated syndicate. The student will hold the memorial for a week, their photo will be taken and the award and the photo will be displayed in the Trophy cabinet for the remainder of that term.
At the end of year Prizegiving each recipient will be awarded a certificate of Outstanding Achievement and be recognised at that time.
Guidelines for awarding the Manaakitanga memorial
a) Consistent application of being kind to others;
b) Going the extra mile without seeking recognition;
c) Positive mind set to self and others;
d) Ongoing evidence of respect, tolerance and empathy for others.
Thank you to the Board for arranging this award.
