Tena koutou
We have started off 2026 with a wonderful year planned for our tamariki. Our school is brimming with chatter, learning and fun.
Our goals this year will be around
- building on Christian Witness through our strong relationships, whanaungatanga, pastoral care and Catholic identity.
- continuing to implement the structured maths programme, including the changes to the NZ Curriculum. Staff will be taking part in ongoing professional development around mathematics.
- formative assessment as part of our Manaiakalani cluster. We are looking forward to really unpacking this as a staff and setting some strong goals moving forward with our tamariki being confident in what they are learning and why
- PB4L - positive behaviour for learning. Embedding our school values in all aspects of our kura. Our staff have been working with our Ministry lead to implement some positive systems for our tamariki to thrive at kura.
This year we are getting our brand new shade sail over our turf area. This will make a huge difference to our indoor/outdoor play areas. We are hoping to be able to use this area for our celebrations, events and to enhance our play space.
Our staff have recently taken part in whole school professional development around neuro-diversity. Such a wonderful opportunity to network with other kura in our region and to meet specialist teachers who were able to share their knowledge with us. We have come back to our kura and shared resources and expertise to action in our classrooms.
It is a privilege to be leading in our school and we value our community voice. If you have any ideas/suggestions or just want to chat, come in and see us.
Looking forward to a blessed year ahead!
