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.

New to Kindo: Autopay
29 Jun 2026

Kindo have added a new feature to their platform.

New to Kindo: Autopay

Staying on top of school payments just got a whole lot easier.

Did you know you can set up your Kindo account so it gets topped up automatically?

Kindo’s latest feature, Autopay, works with automatic payments to help you stay on top of school payment requests.

How it works:
  You set your preferences (types of payments you want covered, wallet reserve etc)
  Kindo emails you 48 hours before a payment run (so you can review or make changes)
  Kindo pays the request automatically

Less hassle, fewer "wait, did I pay that?" moments, and more peace of mind for busy families.
