'Manage the learning setting to ensure access to learning for all and to maximise learners’ physical, social, cultural and emotional safety.'
Hub is a context in which we embrace others' skills, knowledge and experience. I like to encourage learners to share these qualities through collaboration or leadership (tuakana-teina).
Students can reflect on their hauora in this space and can develop personal, as well as academic excellence.
Over time, our mix of ages, interests and personalities form a whanau in which students can feel that they belong. 
 
Here is our final week together as a hub in 2017.
My hublings chose a mug that I had made, and spent hub time decorating them. These will be souvenirs of our time together.
