Teachers will empower students to be active learners who work in partnership with the teacher.

Teachers will ensure students know what they are learning, when they have been successful and where they are going to next.

Self and peer assessment is a routine step in the learning process.

Success criteria are most effective when great examples of work are used to show what quality looks like.

Teachers will use the learning progressions in the curriculum in order to confidently work with a diverse range of students.

The school recognises the influence of the home and will endeavour to build and nurture learning focused partnerships with parents and whanau.

We would love to invite parents and whānau to join us for our Matariki celebrations tomorrow! Here is what we have planned:

11:30am - 12:00pm - adults are welcome to wander around classes to see what we have been learning about Matariki. If it's not too cold, there may be games happening on the bottom field or turf.

12:00pm - 12.20pm  - whole school performance, then kapa haka group will perform.  

12.35pm -  kids and whanau eat after karakia.

Please note the tuck shop will be closed tomorrow for both lunch orders and heating up food.  If your child does not like soup (pumpkin or vegetable and bacon hock soup), please make sure they have their own lunch with them for the day.
