Professional Learning and Development day - Monday 1 August (students learning from home)

'The New Zealand Curriculum' is being refreshed to make sure every child experiences success in their learning, and that their progress and achievement are responded to and celebrated. For us to get a better understanding of this, we have organised a Professional Learning and Development day for our staff on Monday 1 August. The school will remain open for any students who do need supervision, otherwise, students will be learning from home.

We appreciate your support on this day. These opportunities to continue on our learning journey are important for us not only as teachers but as role models to your children, as we demonstrate that teachers are also learners.

'The New Zealand Curriculum' is being refreshed to make sure every child experiences success in their learning, and that their progress and achievement are responded to and celebrated.

To create this future, the goals for 'The New Zealand Curriculum' refresh and for teaching and learning are to:

1. Honour our mutual obligations to and through Te Tiriti o Waitangi
2. Create curriculum that is inclusive so that all ākonga see themselves, and succeed in their learning
3. Make sure 'The New Zealand Curriculum' is clear about the learning that matters
4. Make sure 'The New Zealand Curriculum' is easy to use for teachers.

The refresh will be phased from now until the end of 2025, to help make it more manageable for schools to implement the refreshed curriculum. Schools, ākonga and whānau will be supported through the change.
