This week our topic is about Change and Kids issues.  Over the past few weeks Aotearoa has gone through some pretty big changes.  We have a new Government lead by Jacinda Ardern, who is now our 40th Prime Minister.  The Government has made several big promises around supporting children to thrive and succeed.  We want to hear about change in your space and how to make it sustainable and what issues are facing our Kiwi kids.

When Jacinda Ardern was offered the leadership of her party she said  "When opportunities come up, say 'Yep, I can do that job'."  Could you be the change in your community?

This weeks questions:

1. What skills or qualities does a person need to have to be a Leader of a Country? Do you have these skills? no i don't

1. How does the Government of New Zealand affect you? not that much
2. If you wanted to change something at your School, what would it be? don't know
