Kia ora Whanau, 

Welcome back to Term 3. Hopefully you enjoyed the holidays and were able to take advantage of the sunny days, there were a few!

The photos have arrived and gone to the teachers to give out in class this afternoon. It has been a process!

Thanks for your patience.

Dear Parents and Whānau,

As you have received your child's report, we are required to align with the Ministry of Education’s latest directives, and update how student progress and achievement is described.

What is Changing?
 

To better support student growth, our mid-year reports now align with the refreshed curriculum that has raised benchmarks and higher end of year expectations for your child.  

The Ministry has introduced five new, standardised progress markers to describe where a student is at in their learning journey:

• Emerging - Students require support to meet curriculum expectations for their year level and/or goals as described in their personalised learning plan.
• Developing - Students are making some progress towards curriculum expectations for their year level.
• Consolidating - Students are meeting many curriculum expectations for their year level and are steadily strengthening their understanding across learning areas.
• Proficient - Students are meeting curriculum expectations for their year level.
• Exceeding - Students are exceeding curriculum expectations for their year level.
   

You will notice these terms used in our reports moving forward to show how your child is progressing against the curriculum expectations for their year level.

 

Warm regards,

Warren Brown and the Senior Leadership Team
