What we Provide
Teaching & Learning
Our classroom programs are tailored to meet the diverse needs of all students, fostering their academic and social growth across various activities. We promote values such as responsibility, respect, confidence, honesty, and self-discipline within our school community.
Our commitment to literacy and numeracy success is enhanced by incorporating digital technologies, te reo Māori and tikanga, special needs assistance and enrichment, gifted and talented programmes, and regular physical education to grow healthy minds and bodies.
Environment
Our vibrant facilities reflect the welcoming and inclusive atmosphere of Awapuni School. We value and respect every individual, responding to their needs and concerns in a proactive and supportive manner.
Guided by our well-established behaviour expectations, we have created a safe and positive learning environment. Positive behaviour is celebrated, and we maintain open communication with parents regarding any concerns.
Extra Curriculars
We have participation opportunities in a variety of summer and winter sporting teams. Children can also join our successful kapa haka group.
Bilingual Opportunities
In our immersion classes, most of the instruction is delivered in te reo Māori, aligning with the Ministry of Education's immersion levels for bilingual teaching. We place a strong emphasis on teaching and practicing the Māori world view and tikanga throughout the curriculum.
The units of work are designed around Māori contexts and assessment practices, while also incorporating English to help prepare students for intermediate. We strongly encourage and welcome whānau involvement in the learning journey.
