Our Seven Waves

Our Goals are represented by seven waves. Move the mouse over the waves at the top of the page to see our learners perspective on our waves.

	Vision - Clearly define our preferred future. Provide a clear learning continuum.
	Think - Focus on Higher Order Thinking, critical self-reflection, Essential Skills, individualised learning, in depth learning and research.
	Learn - Provide the environment and opportunities for our learners to develop the skills, attitudes and values to contribute to society and to be self-motivating, life long learners.
	Nurture - applying a Whanau approach in all we do. Providing a safe physical and emotional environment. Applying “good choices” and “restorative justice”. Nurturing each child as our own.
	Grow - Assist learners to discover, develop, demonstrate and celebrate their talents. Apply Benchmarks to measure progress. Focus on goals and ways to achieve them.
	Communicate - Celebrate the excellence we achieve. Share what we expect, stand for and believe in. Consult with our community regularly.
	Shine - Focus on “Best Practice.” Identify, harness, develop, utilise and build on individual strengths.

Note: We are a learning community, and as such, are all learners by definition. We do not refer to children or students, but to learners. Thus, we encompass staff, parents, Board, community and children in our learning vision.
