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.

Notice from the PNC:
TOILETS - Tirau School
COURTS - St Mary's School
SENIOR DUTY - GBC Goal Diggers
COMMITTEE - Kirby :)
Unfortunately we have had a Senior team withdraw from the competition, so this will cause changes to the senior round and will see some teams playing teams they've already played. On that note - ALL PLAYERS need to respect the Umpires - THE PNC will NOT TOLERATE the ABUSE of any kind towards UMPIRES. IT'S NOT OKAY!!
If you find you are having any issues with PLAYERS during your game while umpiring please see CONTROL or the committee member on duty.
See attachment for more information.
Kia ora parents/caregivers,
Our senior school will be participating in our biannual orienteering event on Thursday 21st May. We will begin races after lunch at approximately 1:45pm, and we anticipate the event will take less than an hour.
Students will run in year groups, with the course area including the domain. We are looking for a few parent helpers to assist with recording times, checking answers, and standing around the school grounds to encourage students and help if they get stuck.
If you are able to help, please let Jess know via email at jessica.forkert@tewaotu.school.nz.
Ngā mihi nui,
Inge, Jess & Sarah
Te Waotu Senior Team
Kia ora
