2018 Class Treaty - by Zayd Milner

This term we have made our Class Treaty. The format of the Class Treaty is based on the Treaty of Waitangi and we had to agree on all of the rules for our values, Commitment, Achievement, Resilience, Respect.

Then we had to sign our names on the treaty to agree with the treaty rules. 

 These are the rules we agreed on.
