We are a big school and growing all the time. 

Therefore it is vital that we are all  …

-  leading to a shared school culture and shared         

    successes

This is our WHY

School Culture

Positive relationships, purposeful learning and powerful connections.  

This is our HOW.

One way we do this is through having an open door policy and Home School Partnership twice a term.

This allows us to come together as a whanau to …

• build our staff culture  
• build our team culture 
• build a classroom culture and  
• build our whole community school culture.

On My Walk Assemblies - OMW

The purpose for On My Walk is:

to continue to strengthen our school culture and set the tone for the week.

Because we have On My Walk, our whole school assemblies will be moving online, fortnightly, with OMW.

Classes use this time to showcase and celebrate our classroom learning.

When there is a Language Week we aim to showcase our cultural learning on the Friday. 

House Challenges

Another way to strengthen our school culture is through strengthening our House Challenges

Why: It develops skills, teamwork, leadership, positive interactions, resilience, care, culture, collaboration, team spirit, peer support, fair play, sportsmanship 

How: Team sports, team building activities, challenges, dances, singing, karaoke, quiz afternoons etc

More often and better than before. Featured on OMW.
