Curriculum

Our Learning Environment

Our school delivers the New Zealand Curriculum in a modern learning environment, founded on the Key Competencies. These are the skills we all need to live, learn, work, and contribute to our community.

For further information on the New Zealand Curriculum, check out our useful links below.

Across the school, teachers deliver the curriculum through an integrated approach, with learning content from across a variety of subjects linked by a common theme or topic.

Our school supports an inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning, encouraging students to take ownership of and construct aspects of their own learning. It starts with exploration and questioning and leads to investigation into a worthy question, issue, problem or idea. It involves asking questions, gathering and analysing information, generating solutions, making decisions, justifying conclusions and taking action.
