Teaching Teams 2025

Andrew RetallickDecember 1, 2024

As outlined in two earlier newsletters, the New Zealand Curriculum will transition to a 5-phase model in 2025. This change reflects a more cohesive approach to learning progressions across year levels

The Model’s Five Phases of Learning:

  • Phase 1: Years 1–3

  • Phase 2: Years 4–6

  • Phase 3: Years 7–8

  • Phase 4: Years 9–10

  • Phase 5: Years 11–13

At Woodend School, we are excited to align our teaching and learning teams with these new phases. Here’s what this will look like for our school:

  • Phase 1 (Te Hapua & Te Awa):

    • Te Hapua: Year 1/New Entrant classes.

    • Te Awa: Composite classes for Years 2–3.

  • Phase 2 (Te Ngahere):

    • Composite classes for Years 4–5 and Years 5–6.

  • Phase 3 (Te Maunga):

    • Composite classes for Years 7–8.

This structure ensures our students progress through their learning phases in ways that align with the refreshed curriculum, fostering a smooth transition between year levels while maintaining continuity in their educational journey.
