We don't just have fun around here( although it is a major focus) The below picture is provided by the Woolf Fisher research centre in Auckland. They have tracked our students progress in writing over the past three years and compared to the average across all schools in the country.<br />
On average, students using this assessment ( which is nearly every school in the country) increase by 38 points a year. This picture shows that our students are making incredible progress, well and truly above the National average.<br />
Our Year 4 students have made nearly 4 years progress ON TOP of the national average!<br />
Year 5- One year on top of the average <br />
Year 6- 3 years on top of the average.<br />
How? <br />
Quality teaching, authentic things to write about, rich learning experiences, lots of opportunities to write, quality professional learning, observations and feedback for staff and students.<br />
Our focus now shifts to reading and we will strive to achieve high levels of progress here as well. As well as a fun , vibrant school that students want to come to and teachers want to stay at. We have had no new staff for three years 🙂<br />
Good times, Happy Friday everyone!

It is so great to see all of our students enjoying the pool on these beautiful days. We do open this at lunchtimes most days, as well as each class having their swim time. <br />
<br />
Students are struggling with finding their correct uniform after swimming as most items are not named, please ensure you name your childs clothing, togs, towel and send them along in a named swim bag. <br />
<br />
Tonight talk to them about when they take their uniforms off to put them in the swim bag until they finish in the pool. <br />
<br />
Please also take this time to name their sunhat if they have brought this home :)
