For the past year, the school has been taking part in an inaugural programme geared towards The intermediate age group run by the Graeme Dingle Foundation - Star Teina.
Primary school's have the Kiwi Can programme and High schools run the Star programme to help students with the transition into Year 9. "By helping our young people build resilience, self belief and life skills, the Foundation's programmes empower them to succeed and overcome life's obstacles."
The class attends Star Teina lessons once a week, run by two former Tokoroa Intermediate students Koni (an 'old Room 10) and Curacao, and this year have been learning about perseverance, resilience, growth mindsets and “supporting our friends rather than judging" - lots of fun activities including the 'supportive circle of life and limbo dancing to help reinforce the messages..
