Pūtahi Junior students have been busy experiencing many hands-on activities such as, cooking, art, outdoor play, and play-based learning activities in the class.

Actively participating in practical and imaginative ways when learning supports our students to develop our school values: Kindness; Ora; Resilience; Uniqueness.

Many of the goals we have for our students can be best developed when engaging in play and practical tasks. We would like our students to :-

-  have physical, mental and emotional wellness.

-  be effective communicators with their own opinions being heard and respected.

-  develop competence in everyday living skills and self management.

-  celebrate our own uniqueness, natural curiosity and potential.

-  be connected

-  be involved in leisure activities.

-  develop personal, positive relationships.

-  be happy, healthy and as independent as possible.
