To ensure our students develop their talents to be well equipped to face the future with confidence

Our Core Values and Teaching Beliefs

• Our students are helped to make the ‘right choices’ in all aspects of learning and behaviour. 

• Our students are excited by their learning: motivated to become life long learners, developing competencies to enable them to take full advantage of the next stage in their learning journey. 

• Students and staff enjoy an excellent rapport, with a high level of mutual trust and respect between all involved.  (Manaakitanga – caring community) 

• Parents are always welcome and their contributions valued.  We want our school to be seen as a ‘family school’.  (Kotahitanga – united, togetherness) 

• Parents are given opportunities to experience success in foundation skills and in all Learning Areas so their talents are developed. 

• Students develop a positive sense of identity and value the cultural diversity of others. 

• Our students seek personal excellence, are proud of their achievements, and are able to identify realistic learning intentions and success criteria. 

• Teachers motivate students and enhance their learning by providing focussed, powerful learning experiences. 

• Students are encouraged to value innovation, enquiry, and curiosity, by thinking creatively, critically and reflectively. 

• Students are encouraged to be responsible for and to care for our environment.
