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.

  • Heteri Hill Permission Forms (Rooms 5 & 6 only): Due by Wednesday.
  • Swim Safe Permission Forms: Please remember to complete and submit your form.

Bus Safety Reminder: We have noticed that several students catching the bus in the morning are not wearing their high-vis bus vests. Our bus drivers have requested that all students wear their vests in the morning, as it makes waiting children much easier to see. Every student who catches a bus has been issued a vest. We would greatly appreciate your help in reminding your child to put theirs on before heading to the bus stop. Thank you for your support in keeping our students safe!

Swim Safe

In Week 6 we are focusing on water safety and are fortunate to have Swimming Waikato coming into our school to teach us about water safety as per the New Zealand Curriculum.

As a fundamental part of this learning we will be going to the Tokoroa pools on the 20th of November to complete our final session. Please complete to permission form on the app under the form tile.
