We believe: That Makauri School is an inclusive community of learners: students, teachers and parents. In the four leadership qualities that underpin the learning community. They are: Manaakitanga (leading with moral purpose), Ako (being a learner), Awhinatanga (guiding and supporting), and Pono (having self belief). In success for all learners in reaching their learning potential. We believe in “Being the Best we can Be” In providing teaching and learning experiences that maximise student engagement. In the principles of Formative Assessment as the basis of student involvement and ownership of life long learning processes. That learning begins with identifying needs from assessment data; That Learning Intentions and Success Criteria be shared; That feedback and feedforward enhance learning opportunities In establishing learning goals and reflecting on progress towards these goals through twice yearly Student Led Conferencing. In using a variety of approaches and strategies across the curriculum. In providing teachers with the tools of best practice through quality professional learning. In welcoming parental support and involvement through developing a strong partnership between home and school. In the principles of guardianship of the environment for future generations ‘Kaitiakitanga’; a sustainable school community environment. In quality relationships based on our key values of Respect, Responsibility, Perseverance and Caring in Learning for Well-Being. In focusing strongly on the Key Competencies and interweaving these across the curriculum. In the enjoyment of learning and celebrating our successes.
