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.

Dear Parents and Whanau,
I hope you are all very well. Due to personal reasons my husband and I will be returning to South Africa, which means I will be leaving Te Waotu School at the end of Week 4 in the 4th term. This has been a really difficult decision for me as I have absolutely loved being part of Te Waotu and most of all, teaching your children. I have become so fond of each and every one of them and they really do hold a special place in my heart. It is going to be very hard to say goodbye.
Thank you so much for trusting me with your children and for all the support you have given me. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to teach them and to be part of their lives, even for a short time.
I will miss them all very much and will be cheering them on from afar. I wish each of them and your families nothing but the very best for the future.
Warm regards,
Sarah
