Find ways to support your child as they learn using the New Zealand Curriculum

Think of your child's learning journey as a triangle, with your family, their school, and your child at each point. This triangle represents a vital partnership. As a parent, you provide the foundation of love, support, and a nurturing home environment where learning can thrive.

The school offers teachers, resources, and a structured curriculum to guide your child's education. When parents and schools communicate openly and work together collaboratively, this strong connection creates a powerful support system for your child. Just as a triangle needs all three sides to be strong and balanced, your child's learning flourishes when family, school, and the child themselves are all actively engaged and working in harmony.

On each of these pages attached, you’ll find simple, practical ideas for supporting your child to develop their reading, writing, and maths at home. These activities are designed to reinforce what they’ve learned, and help them stay confident and ready for the learning they’re doing at school.

Each page is tailored to a specific year level from Years 1–8.
