< Back Spirit Week Other Māngere College's MC Active Council Target Age: 13-21 Address: 23 Bader Drive, Māngere, Auckland 2022, New Zealand When: 18 May 2026 8:45 pm c.manase@mangerecollege.school.nz PRIVATE EVENT What is Māngere College’s school culture? What are our collective attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours that make up our school environment? We had 43 students in groups of 7-8 to create a SWOT analysis on our school culture, and they found that the common weaknesses and threats were “fighting, attendance, wagging, poor communication, and lack of participation from staff and students”. We are holding a Spirit Week during the annual Youth Week, from Monday, 18th May to Friday, 22nd May. Spirit Week allows students to have fun in school while actively shaping a stronger, more connected school environment. Students mentioned in their SWOT analysis the opportunity of creating whole-school events. It strengthens whanaugatanga between students and staff and enhances mana! Students are given the capability to be at the forefront and express themselves in ways that aren’t directly tied to academics. This type of event allows for low-pressure participation and builds school culture through shared experiences and inside jokes that students and staff can relate to. Over time, these moments become part of the school’s identity. Our strengths were our cultural diversity, community connections and extracurricular activities. Spirit Week leverages these positives and amplifies them in a way that can outweigh the negatives of our school. Schools that implement Spirit Week have found student attendance increases as it gives students something to look forward to. They are motivated and feel inclined to participate. Many of our students will avoid coming to school because of their poor relationship with the staff. It breaks down barriers between students and staff because it humanises these authoritative figures, opening up for authenticity and genuine relationships. Stronger school spirit means students feel connected, included, and excited to be at school; pride naturally follows. Spirit Week becomes a visible celebration of that pride, helping to build a positive atmosphere that can last well beyond the week itself. Previous Next

< Back Fiona Smorag I have been working in mental health for over 20 years and have completed my BSc in Mental Health Nursing in 2012. I have worked within adult acute mental health inpatient units, older adult inpatient mental health settings, perinatal mental health community (Maternal Mental Health as a clinical coordinator and keyworker) and most recently taking a role as a senior nurse educator in the child, youth and families portfolio. My Approach I started studying professional supervision as it has always been an area of passion for me, I am especially interested in stress and trauma in healthcare workers, and how this can impact on us as employees, as well as the organizational approach and what is in our control and what is not-and how best to navigate this. We all come to the caring profession because we care, so I want to try my best to support those going above and beyond who might be feeling undervalued, or feel that they aren't making a difference (though you will be)-to improve confidence and really build and gain satisfaction out of the work we have all trained to be involved in.

The event’s aim is to provide a space where rangatahi can learn from each other, discuss, reflect and digest their thoughts, experiences and perspectives on Mental Health and Hauora. The event is self guided, with those attending able to engage as they wish. The only take away being whatever they choose to take with them. We wanted to run this event and use this space to take some pressure off, noticing a lot of rangatahi events and discussions are often for an outcome - tickbox, policy or otherwise. This space is just for rangatahi to exist in. Previous Next
