• We welcome the Values Warrior to Christchurch East School, because it's not only our students who are Living the Values at our school. Anton Baker, Room 10 teacher, demonstrated Sense of Community, Integrity and Excellence as he was returning from the Port Hills with his family, heading past the school late one night. From the street, he saw a light on in the school's Teacher Resource Room, and thought that he'd better check it out. Thankfully, all was well, as it turned out that someone was working late into the evening at the photocopier.

• Anton will be on the lookout this week for another staff member Living our Values, as he will be choosing the next recipient of the award. Staff members have already been spotted having only one biscuit at morning tea, so that there are sufficient for everyone else, in the hope that they will be able to share with their students the story of their Values Warrior award next week.
