About Our School

Sharing photos and Social Media

by Ali Duncan

We follow guidelines to protect students' privacy and safety at school when we publish student information, which includes sharing photos of our students.  When your child starts school, we ask you to let us know if you are happy with your child's photo and work being shared on the website, newsletter and wider publicity including social media.

We are happy for parents to take photos/videos of their own children at school events.  We will let you know if copyright issues mean you can't.  e.g. a school play.

If you want to share photos and videos of your children on social media, please discuss these with your children before posting them. This will help your children understand that they need to think about what goes out to the public.  Please don't post images of other peoples' children or name them in on-line posts without parental permission.

Our Community of Learning| Kāhui Ako, Ngā Mātāpuna o Ngā Pākihi, is the group of schools we belong to in order to build connections, support and share resources.  Our in-school teachers and across-school teachers support us in reaching the goals we have set for ourselves in raising achievement for our students across the ECEs, primary schools and secondary school in the cluster. Our achievement challenges are as follows:

Challenge 1: Raise achievement in Writing for students currently working below or well below the expected curriculum level, specifically targeting boys and all students at transition points as they progress through the curriculum levels.

Challenge 2: Raise achievement in Science for students in Years 4-10 who are achieving below or well below the national expected norms in the NZCER tool Science: Thinking with Evidence, specifically targeting boy progress.

Challenge 3: To increase the exposure and understanding of learning a second language and its impact and importance for the NZ economy.

We are committed to smooth transitions from ECE to primary school and to secondary school and have a process target to ensure this is a focus for the Kāhui Ako: Strengthen the pathway from ECE through to Tertiary with greater effective Kāhui Ako collaboration and considered transition programmes.
