Manaaki, in the ten seconds before class.

MoodSpace Classroom gives every Orewa College student a private way to say how they're really going, so the people around them can respond with care. Nothing is public and no feeling is ever scored.

Open the demo Sign in

Set up for Orewa College by the makers of MoodSpace. The demo uses made-up staff and students.

How are you feeling?

Tap one. Nothing here is saved or sent.

Your three pou are the test we hold it to.

Manaaki Orewa asks ākonga to practise care, respect and service, grounded in three pou. They describe what a wellbeing tool in your kura should do, and what it should leave alone.

Respect for ourselves

A student names how they're going in under ten seconds, and adds their own words if they want to. From Year 9 they also decide whether their whānau sees it. When they need a minute, Reset is one tap away.

Respect for others

No student can ever see how another student is feeling. There is no feed, no score and no ranking. The form teacher answers in person, and the app only makes sure they know to.

Respect for the environment, physical and digital

One key hides the class roll if it's up on a projector. Online, there is no public feed, no location tracking, no photos of students and no AI reading what they write. Orewa College's records sit in their own database, apart from every other school's.

It sits inside the pastoral care you already have.

A check-in starts a conversation between people who already know the student. Each person sees only what their part of that care needs.

The student
Their own space. They check in at form time, by tapping their name on a class tablet or with their own code and PIN on any device.
Their form teacher
Their own form class. Anyone who has asked for help or a chat rises to the top, and one tap promises a conversation that then happens in person. Private home diaries stay private.
Their dean
Whatever you decide. Each year level has its own dean, and we would set their view of those form classes with your Pastoral team.
Guidance
A summary only, and only after a referral the family has agreed to.
Whānau
With the usual setting, the day's check-in once school finishes. From Year 9 the student can keep check-ins between them and their teacher.
School leaders
Trends that never name a student, and never for groups under five. A serious concern goes to the safeguarding lead you name, using your own process.

A Year 7 and a Year 13 shouldn't get the same screen.

Years 7 and 8

The whole check-in on one screen: pick a clay feeling, say how strong it is and what would help. The screen takes the feeling's colour. No mascot, no stars and no shop.

Years 9 to 13

The same one screen, smaller and flatter, with adult wording. Who will see it is written beside Send. Calm Corner becomes Reset, and students decide what their whānau sees.

For Taipari and Reorua, the reo has to be right.

Taipari, your Years 7 and 8 rumaki, opened in 2026, and your Reorua pathway runs through Years 11 to 13. Check-in screens in MoodSpace Classroom can run in English, both languages or te reo Māori. That covers the check-in screens only, read aloud still speaks English, and the te reo is a draft, labelled as one wherever it can be switched on. It is off to begin with, and we would want a fluent speaker to review it with you before ākonga use it.

Kia tika, kia pono, kia eke ki te nohonga rangatira.
From the Orewa College mission

Orewa College's own copy, with fixed promises.

This is a separate instance for your school alone, with its own database. You decide how long records are kept, when whānau see check-ins and who your safeguarding lead is. These don't change.

Read the privacy policy
  • No public feed, likes, followers or scores.
  • No student can ever see another student's feelings.
  • No location tracking. No photos of students.
  • No AI reads what a student writes or says.
  • No labels, no diagnoses, no behaviour reports.
  • Teachers never see a student's home diary.

When it's serious, the app gets out of the way.

MoodSpace Classroom supports your staff. It doesn't replace them, whānau, counsellors or emergency services. A student who needs help is pointed to real people, at school first.
