ERO Report

Oaklands School is on a 4-5 year review cycle and the school and the Board routinely completes self reviews and audits.  The last self-audit completed by the Board was Visitors and you will have noticed an increase in the signage across the school. The Board interviewed parents, teachers and office staff. We are currently undertaking a self-audit on attendance policy and procedures.

Inclusion 

Inclusion is one of eight principles in The New Zealand Curriculum that provide a foundation for schools' decision making.

Oaklands is an inclusive school where all students feel they belong because they are welcomed and can participate in all aspects of school life.

• value every individual

• respect diversity

• provide equitable opportunities for all students

• recognise and meet the learning needs of all students.
