Learning Support

If you have any questions regarding your child's learning, behavior or medical needs please arrange a meeting with the Principal.

 

Digital Technologies

Our school has the resources for our students to be able to learn in a 1:1 device environment. However, as we wish our students to be well rounded learners we blend our day between device based learning and non device activities.

​We also have a MAKERSPACE creative learning room.

In this room we hold a full range of art and craft items along with multiple robotics programmes including electronic Lego.

 

Free School Lunches

Our school is part of the free school lunches programme funded by the Ministry of Education. 

Our daily lunches are provided by the team at Aoraki Cafe, Hampton Downs.

 

School Karakia

Our school start and end our day all together. We begin with a non religious karakia followed by waiata.

This is a very important part of our day where we set ourselves up for a successful learning day. We close our day in the same way, being grateful for the day we have experienced.
 

 

 

 

BMX Pump Track & BMX Bikes

Our school has it's own high quality BMX pump track that our students have access to use during break times. 

​We ensure that students follow the safety rules when using the track to limit injuries as best we can.

​School provides helmets and high end BMX bikes for our students.

​We do not allow private bikes on the track during school time as we can not guarantee they are safe.

​Students must wear shoes and a helmet when on the track.

​The track is available to our community outside of school hours.
