Welcome Council fo 2012!!!

Meeting: 29/2/2012
Present:   Reyana, Xanthe, Lynley, Declan, Sarah, Katelyn, Abbie & Mya & Mrs MB

This is our very first meeting - our new council is made up of Reyana, Xanthe, Lynley, Declan, Sarah, Katelyn, Abbie & Mya

For our first meeting we are discussing ideas on how we would like to run our meetings and special things for them.

Talking one at a time
Active listening
Letting others talk and not interrupting - it's not all just about you
Negotiate rather than argue
If you try to share an idea - don't barge in and say yours is the best (me too listening)
If your idea doesn't get voted for be positive - not all ideas can be used all the time
Remember our values - show respect, help each other (awhina), Aim high, (Kia Runga Rawa), Integrity

Milkshake every meeting
