Zone 31 Treaty

At the beginning of this year we spent time investigating what a treaty is. We read The Treehouse Treaty and discussed The Treaty of Waitangi. Then we wrote our own treaty. These are the things we decided were important for us.

We, the members of Zone 31, agree that we want our learning space to be somewhere that we all feel comfortable being and safe. We have decided that this is what it looks like in Zone 31.
