OUR VISION
Our vision is to create a community of learning in the heart of the wider
Rangiora District where learning is engaging, relevant and
responsive to the needs of all students.
We will strive to produce life long learners who participate and contribute positively.
Our students will be…
taught to Collaborate, Communicate and Create. We will do this by building highly effective working
relationships between our teachers, our students, our parents and our communities. We will ensure that all students
have their learning needs met.
We will enable students, parents and whānau to develop educational pathways to success.
We aim to:
1) Build a new community of learning 2) Raise the achievement levels for all learners in the
community 3) Improve the outcomes for at-risk and priority learners
4) Develop teacher/educator capacity across the learning community
5) Improve educational pathways
