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.

Please note that there has been a date change for our upcoming Marae visits. Due to a Tangihanga taking place this week, the marae is unavailable to us this Wednesday. Out of respect, we are shifting all visit dates back by one week, keeping the same schedule for each class.
Revised Schedule:
Wednesday, 19 August: Rooms 1 & 2
Wednesday, 26 August: Rooms 3 & 4
Wednesday, 2 September: Rooms 5 & 6
Visiting our local marae to learn about etiquette, protocols, and history—as well as sharing waiata together—is a key part of our strategic goals under our Belonging and Connection pillars. As such, all tamariki are expected to attend on their designated day.
If you haven't already, please fill out the permission form for your child.
Thank you for your support!
Putāruru College are hosting a College Open Day for all Year 8 students.

The Open Day will begin at 10:00 am and conclude at 1:00 pm. Please see the attached flyer for more information.
If your child would like to attend, please kindly notify the school office or Sarah Topping by Monday the 17 August. This will allow us to share approximate numbers with Putāruru College so they can arrange transport and finalize event planning.
