Curriculum

Under review: Our Local Curriculum Delivery

Programmes of literacy (reading, writing, vocabulary development) and mathematics/statistics are your child’s core learning each day.

As part of ‘Student Inquiry Learning’, we seek to engage with our local community as a base for our students’ studies. We have four topics a year and bring the local environment and local interests into our teaching/learning experiences.

Term Two 2026:

• The Living World (science)

Teachers develop these topics into learning programmes based on the NZ Curriculum.

Year 7 students choose to engage in ‘Specialties’ such as: Soft-materials design (woodwork, stitching), visual arts, dance, ukelele, languages, robotics, biking, Minecraft, gardening (Education for Sustainability), and consider careers that might arise from such activities.

Our Year 8 students go by bus to Maangere College each week for technology lessons, while the Year 7 Specialties programme is taught at School.

We enjoy talking with parents /whaanau /aiga each year about what learning is important to you, for your children, and how to best build that into our programmes.
