Message from the Executive Principal

Kia ora koutou,

"Ehara toa i te toa takitahi, engari, he toa takitini"
My success is not that of a single person but instead the strength of many. This proverb captures the essence of what 'we are better together' can truly mean, and proof of this is in our Strategic planning work.

The focus and highlight this term was the work completed on our Strategy Framework, now available on our website.

The Strategy Framework is our key document; it has three foundational pou - Languages, Learning and Identity. This framework will direct all our planning for student achievement, successful outcomes and wellbeing.

Our Strategic Plan will show how we will bring the Strategy Framework to life over the next two years. Keep an eye on our website; this will be available and translated shortly.

To help develop both our strategy documents, we sought feedback from parents and whānau of Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) learners, advisory group members, learners, and Turi Māori. Thank you to everyone who completed a survey or participated in a focus group; we appreciate your sharing your views.

A special thank you to everyone who contributed to creating the translated video. We're really proud of what we made as a collaborative project among many teams within our school.

Dr Denise Powell
Executive Principal (Acting)
