What We Want To Achieve

Our students are living in a world where the rate of change is so rapid that skills learned now may well be redundant by the time our students emerge into the adult world. To prepare our students for this we need to have a school environment that is accepting of change, yet looks to the best practice of the past to help meet the challenges ahead. With this in mind these are what we want to achieve in the school setting.
A school that at all times focusses on the best interests of students.
Confident students, achieving success and enjoying school.
A school that welcomes innovation, tries new ideas, and follows best practice.
An open school where all parents feel welcomed and part of the learning community.
A school that meets embraces Aotearoa New Zealand's bicultural heritage.
Students working well with others and learning the skills of citizenship.
Students setting goals, reflecting on learning and taking pride in achievements.
Students gaining an effective grounding in literacy, numeracy and information landscape capabilities.
A school environment that allows student decision making, risk taking and promotes challenge.
A school that reflects positively the community it serves and celebrates the increasing diversity of families living in our area.
A school that ensures that the staff's work is valued so they in turn remain motivated and happy in their work.
"Schools should be places where you feel great and should look forward to going to each day whether you are a student, teacher or principal"
