Welcome

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.

Kia ora everyone,

On Wednesday 29th July, we would love to invite all our whānau to join us for some delicious soup and bread for lunch and take the opportunity to visit the classrooms to see what the children have been learning about Matariki.

To help make this event a success, we are looking for donations of ingredients for the soup. Some of our classes and the SSG will be preparing the soup. If you are able to contribute, please write your name next to an item you can donate. Link - Food donations - List

We are also looking for a few volunteers to help with making the soup on Tuesday and serving lunch on the day. If you are available to help, please add your name to the volunteer section below.

Please ensure all donated ingredients are brought to school by the afternoon of Monday 27th July.
