One of our girls felt more able to step up as a Kapa Haka leader after using the kit, and one of the younger boys stepped up during an incident at break time that involved some unpleasant behaviour. The kit gave him the self-confidence to do this.
Which kit components were the most impactful and why?
The Charging Station is great because it is very hands-on and they really related to posting their token in the box for how they felt their battery was. This helped me note some particular patterns with some students and identify what might be causing how they were feeling.
