Mā te ako tahi, ka eke ngā ākonga ki ngā taumata teitei.
Through collaborative learning approaches, our students build strong relationships that help them to work and achieve together.
The schools will be welcoming and inclusive, and students/whānau and the community will feel a sense of belonging.
Student and staff diversity will be reflected and celebrated by both schools, and students will learn compassion, tolerance and a wider worldview due to being exposed to this diversity.
How will we achieve
the aspiration?
-
We will create and maintain a sense of belonging in how teachers interact with students and in the design of the spaces students use.
-
Opportunities to run school/campus-wide events, and events that allow year levels to mix.
-
We will continue to follow restorative practices, and to apply the principles of Positive Behaviour for Learning.
-
We will continue to develop our inclusive practice to support all learners to be the best they can be.
-
Student-led interest clubs and events will be encouraged.
-
We will ensure that achievement info is available to support strong home school partnership based on transparent access to information (real-time).
-
We will continue to develop opportunities for interactions with families to be student-led.
-
We will continue to strive for an atmosphere where parents and other community members feel welcome in our setting.
