2018-08-07 · Alan Wynyard, Te Tai Pokapū - Central Region
- Most students achieved at and above expectations in reading, writing and mathematics
- Māori and boys have not achieved as well as expected in reading and writing, though some reduction in disparity is evident
- Leaders are yet to report regularly to the board on accelerated progress for targeted students at risk of underachievement
- A reflective, collaborative culture promotes improved practice and student outcomes
- Individual student needs and strengths are very well known with high and clear expectations evident
"Leaders and trustees lead a strategic approach and implement practices that align systems and processes for ongoing improvement, deliberately focused on positive outcomes for students."
