Waikowhai Assembly for Christchurch

We are here for you Christchurch!

Most of you heard about what happened in

Christchurch, it is very sad news.

Everybody across the world is trying their best to help. At Waikowhai Primary School we are looking at ways we can help. On Monday 18th March we had a Special Assembly in our School Hall, talking about what happened down in Christchurch.

We have recently been visiting the Give a Little Page,

It’s basically a site where people give donations to a company to help events that have been happening across the world. This page has raised $8,851,539.40 just for Christchurch. Here is the link for the website:

They also fund raise for other effects that have happened.

Our entire school practised a pretend lock down, if you don't know what a lock

down is, for our school we know when it is a time for lock down because our school bell rings twice, the whole class including the teacher get low in a hidden area, hiding from gunman or a person threatening the school.

It is also good to lock windows and doors and if you can shut all blinds/covers.

Just like what Christchurch schools had to do for 4 hours.

Hopefully your school can do the same because when one person is hurt,

everyone is hurt because we are one, if we fight as one, we win as one.
