Kia ora
As I reflect back on the term, we have had so many new opportunities as kaiako and for our tamariki. Highlights have certainly been the recent professional learning opportunities. Most recently is the Te Tai Tokerau Principal Conference "Navigating new Horizons - People, Place, Environment". Discussions on the use of AI in schools. Encouraging the opportunity to teach our tamariki to not be "consumers" of digital technology, but rather to think critically about what is online, how we use it and whether it is correct. AI is certainly progressing at a rapid pace, but our real need in the world is peace, kindness and care. If we took action to help others in need if we are able to, we would be in a beautiful place.
Inspirational speakers such as our MC Pio Terei, Arnika Macphail, Dan Te Whenua Walker, Vince Ford, Jemarl Paerata and Dave Letele.
Te Mataiaho has rolled out for our kaiako to use in our classrooms, alongside structured literacy and structured maths. Our staff are brave and trying so many new things in the classrooms and I am so proud of the progress we are making in all aspects.
At the end of the day, we are committed to our students and providing an environment which is rich in faith, learning and opportunities. It is a privilege.
