Principal’s Message
Kia ora koutou katoa. This week we have had our IB consultant visit. The IB allocates a consultant who helps us through the process of becoming an IBPYP school. Our consultant is head of a school in Sydney so the visit has been a remote one. They are usually face-to-face, but this year, all visits are held remotely due to travel restrictions. Zoom played a huge part in how he could have a window into our school and our learning journey. It has been a real joy to see our school through the eyes of someone with so much experience who knows what a good school looks like, but is new to our school. He has been sincerely impressed with the articulation of learning from the students, teachers, and parents he spoke with. He had a tour of the grounds (via Zoom) and even learned what a waiata was when he visited a year 4 class who had Whaea Keri at the time. A huge thank you to Sara Baker who leads the PYP learning and ensured we were ready for this stage in our journey.
