Tēnā koutou katoa,

Ko Jan Otene toku ignoa,

Ko Tumuaki o te kura o Rewa Rewa.

It's my privilege to be the Principal of Rewa Rewa School.

Here, we believe in creating a warm and inviting environment where every child feels safe, supported, and excited about learning. Our small school with a big heart is dedicated to fostering positive connections among whanau, learners, and teaching staff.

Choosing a school is a significant decision, and at Rewa Rewa School, we offer a safe and inclusive family-centred learning environment. We are the country school in the city, providing a nurturing space where positive connections among whanau, learners, and teaching staff are fostered.

Each day begins with our Community Circle, where we gather to say our whakatauki, sing a waiata, and share messages and achievements. This daily ritual helps us build and maintain a strong sense of hauora (well-being).

‘Empowering our Learners’ to learn is a key goal that we aspire to achieve. Through valuing our diversity and building a sense of identity, our learners know that they have a responsibility to develop lifelong learning skills. Their contribution to our world is to make an ongoing, positive difference.

​Each student is taught to understand their unique place in the world and the importance of adding value to this. Developing lifelong skills are enhanced through teaching self-management competencies, thinking skills, innovative play and leadership opportunities. We celebrate taking responsible risks, making mistakes, having fun together and being creative.

Ngā mihi nui,

Jan
