Aroha is a special feeling that fills your heart. You show love in a smile, a pleasant way of speaking, a thoughtful act, or a hug. Love is treating people and things with special care and kindness because they mean so much to you. Love is treating other people just as you would like them to treat you — with care and respect.

Years 1 – 5: To feel loved, secure and included not only in your family but also
in the school community. To understand that although people are different
everybody deserves to be loved. To show love to animals, nature, people and
the environment. To love God even though you can’t see him. Realise that
God’s love is constant.

Years 6 – 8: Recognising their individuality and loving their unique qualities. To
understand that love is unconditional. To love God even though you can’t see

him. Realise that God’s love is constant.
