We are grateful for the amazing community support we have received this year . Thank you to the board for their thoughtful and constructive approach to their roles, especially Georgia Read (Presiding Member).
Thank you to all our staff members for creating an inclusive and friendly kura .
Teachers have had a year of challenges, more learners than classroom spaces and an ever changing curriculum.They have faced the daily challenge of creating programmes and lessons that support and stretch our learners .
Thank you to all of our teachers who always have their students at heart.
We thank and farewell Catherine Maunsell, Zee Shamail and Tay Hyett.
Early next year we will congratulate Cathy Taylor (office) who is retiring.. We will welcome Krista Barraclough.
Our Strategic Plan had a writing and a maths target this year.
Writing Target - Y5 cohort with a target of 50% at or above by the end of the year.
Maths Target Māori/Pasifika Year 3- 6 group - With a target of 50% at or above by the end of the year. We are proud to say we have achieved results beyond the targets.
We have also had commendable gains in literacy and mathematics in spite of the significant changes to the curriculum. Thank you.
