LGBT + GROUP
The Havelock North High School LGBT + group has worked together to develop the philosophy of the group , planning together the activities the group has been involved in this year . This planning has supported our goals for current and future years , taking into consideration the ongoing changing composition of the group with students leaving HNHS and with new students arriving . Whilst ������������������������������������������������������� to COVID-19 , the group has still been able to contribute to growing a more inclusive and accepting community within our school .
During the year , the group has considered concerns raised by group members , including views around uniform , accessibility to unisex toilets , etc . Whilst �������������� ���� ��������� ��� ���� ��� ���� ��������� ��� times , to resolve these issues to the satisfaction of all of its community , as a group we would value ongoing conversations around meeting diverse needs .
While working towards making HNHS a more inclusive and comfortable place , the group has also aimed to create a more united LGBT + community by joining other student-run committees in activities , for example , the International Food Festival , Pride Week and Pink Shirt Day . Any cross-committee discussions always keep group members private information , like their names , their sexuality and / or their gender identity , private . Students attending the LGBT + private group do not have to disclose any private information to other participants . I believe that my time as leader has made a positive impact on the other group members . I look forward to hearing how the LGBT + group continues to support each other and how they continue to contribute to the wider school community . I hope that the work the group has done within the school helps in motivating the school community , both students and teachers , to continue to respect diversity by demonstrating accepting and inclusive behaviour towards all members of our school community .
