R.T.L.Bs. invite the Foundation to assist

The Foundation has been invited to assist R.T.L.B's. with orientation for 35 West Auckland 'Resource Teachers Learning and Behaviour', (commonly known as RTLBs), in February 2010.  RTLBs work with clusters of schools, visiting the schools to help individual students or groups of students with learning or behavioural difficulties.

Many RTLBs know about Gemstones and Travel Log but are not familiar with how to use them to best advantage. The orientation day will take place in February 2010. This request highlights how highly Gemstones and Travel Log are regarded in the education community in helping young people.

Edna Peters and Sarah Barrett-Hamilton will contribute to this project.

 

Ramarama School

This Full Primary School in South Auckland were so impressed with Gemstones and the work generated by their fellow students, that they have announced and have actually taken up a collection to help fund a Gemstones resource kit into a neighbouring school in South Auckland.

Students Understand

The students from one full-primary school excelled when they wrote a letter to the 'Boy', the central character in Gemstones, to congratulate him on what they had learned from his personal example in the Gemstones stories. The maturity of ideas discussed as compliments to the boy, demonstrated a that high degree of thinking and learning had taken place.

Gemstones Update

During the first two weeks of our return to work in 2010 our office staff have packed and sent out many more kits of the Gemstones narrative therapy material, to various schools throughout New Zealand.

We feel assured these resource kits will be well-used and want to thank all our donors for their continued support of our endeavours to help young people throughout our nation.

Travel Log Update

Our office staff have also supplied new kits of our latest narrative therapy resource, Travel Log, based upon the book, The Travels of Plymouth, written by author and family therapist Ron Phillips.

R.T.L.B's, who work with selected students from various Intermediate and High Schools throughout New Zealand, are among the first to receive this new material from our current range.
