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.

As we head into Term 4, here is a friendly reminder that all students will need a black bucket hat when playing outside during break times.

If your child already has a hat, please make sure they bring it to school at the start of the term. If you need to purchase one, hats are available via Kindo.

Please also remember to label your child's hat with their name so we can easily return any lost items. Thank you so much for your support!
