At Macandrew Bay School, our strategic plan is more than just a document—it’s a roadmap that guides our efforts to provide the best education for your child.

Under the Education and Training Act 2020, we’re mandated to develop and share documents that outline our goals, plans, progress, and financial information. This ensures transparency, accountability, and alignment with national education priorities.

Our strategic plan is developed in consultation with the school community, reflecting our collective vision, goals, and strategies for the next three years. It encompasses our primary objectives, national education priorities, curriculum policies, and our commitment to cultural responsiveness under Te Tiriti o Waitangi. This plan serves as a blueprint for how we’ll address the diverse needs of our students and strive for continuous improvement.

We publish our strategic plan online and submit it to the Ministry of Education, ensuring accessibility and compliance with legal requirements. Through ongoing consultation and reflection, we review our achievements, adjust our priorities, and refine our strategies to better serve our tamariki and community.

In essence, our strategic plan is a commitment to our vision and mission statement.

Ko te Tamaiti te Pūtake o te Kaupapa: The child is at the heart of the matter

At Macandrew Bay School we place our learners at the centre and our Mission Statement is: Simply the Best for our Tamariki!

Our vision is:

• High Expectations

• To create an environment that actively supports the health and wellbeing of our tamariki

• To be the best we can be

• Students succeeding

• To be a strong and flourishing school into the future

  We will be engaging with our community towards the end of Term 3 this year to design and write our Strategic Plan for 2026 onwards.
