Calling Issue 65 June 2020
Welcome to the 65th edition of QM Calling! This year we’ve all had to adapt and do things differently. For the editorial team of QM Calling – that has been no exception. This edition was created during alert levels 3 and 4, where unfortunately many traditional opportunities and events did not occur. Despite this we have plenty of stories to share with you. This edition will be published digitally only. Whilst there are benefits to a digital version, we do realise many of you enjoy having a printed copy. We will return to producing printed copies for those who prefer that format for the next edition. Enjoy the read. Bookmark your copy! communications@qmc.school.nz

Remote learning wellbeing
The lockdown has not stopped our ability to unite and share. Sure, we have recently
spent a lot of time in our own bedrooms and lounges, but technology allowed us to
create and connect together.

Physical activity
Our Sports team introduced a Virtual Tag challenge.
Students were encouraged to film themselves being
active, tag a friend in (challenge their peers to follow
their lead) and share their clips as an Instagram story.
We were delighted with the response. The numbers
were good but more importantly it wasn’t just our
sports stars that got involved but all sorts of students
took part.
Everyone stayed safe and stayed in their bubbles. It was
great to see whole families involved, be it sisters working
out together or students involving their mums.
14 QMC Calling | Issue 65Competitions
During the holidays we launched two competitions. A number of students produced board
games. Remember those days of gathering around the kitchen table, throwing dice and
debating rules? The lockdown provided an opportunity to recreate that cosy sense of
domestic togetherness.

Unity
At the start of the year, our senior students
established unity as their theme for 2020. This has
been the rock that we have built on during these
unusual times. Our Head Girls, supported by their
prefects and peers, created a path that the rest
of the school could follow.
Our senior students were a source of inspiration in
delivering projects that brought us together even
though we were not together in one place.
They kicked this off with a heartfelt video sharing their views on the lockdown and capturing
what they were up to. Isabella Barber (Deputy Head Girl) captured succinctly “we can’t control
most of what’s going on but we can focus on ourselves at this particular time.”

Stars
In her speech at our first assembly this year, Ella Wilson (Head
Girl) told us that we were all stars and that the school was a
constellation made up of these individual stars. As part of the
lockdown, Ella asked students to create their own stars.
Ella and her team were overwhelmed with the response the
competition enjoyed. Students of all ages (and a number of
teachers) submitted their work via Instagram.
After school reopened, the students brought their stars in to
form a constellation.

It was a desire to ensure connection

Year 13s to develop a Wellbeing
Team. The students were inspired
by the wellbeing content that was
shared during lockdown. They
wanted to add student voice to
the work Queen Margaret College
was doing.
The students; Amelia Ware,
Jacqueline Ormsby, Libby Witheford-
Smith, and Sophia Hallum Clarke
are keen to make the team a
permanent part of Queen Margaret
College. Although their initial
motivations stem from Covid-19
they would like to generate more
togetherness in our community
through creative challenges
and events.
The team’s lead-off initiative was a baking challenge. As part of their promotions, the girls
filmed themselves making Maggie cupcakes.
