A team of two reviewers led by Ruth Nicholas will be coming to carry out a review of our school in week 5 this term. They will be arriving at 1.30pm Tuesday 4th June and will report back to the Board of Trustees at midday Thursday 6th June.
As you can see from this tight time frame, the reviews are very focused. They are most interested in the school's self review. That is, they want to know how well the school is able to keep improving itself and whether it is responsive to data. The overarching question that guides the review is:
"How effectively is your school's curriculum promoting student learning - engagement, progress and achievement?"
As well as this general focus, the review has two national focuses:
i. Success for Maori as Maori - that is, how well are Maori students able to achieve success in our school while feeling supported and celebrated as Maori.
ii. Raising Student Achievement - this is a focus on looking at how our school is striving to increase numbers of students achieving at or above the national standards.
Powhiri: We will be welcoming the ERO team with a powhiri on Tuesday, 1.30pm, 4 June. You are welcome to attend. We would love to see you there.
Following the Powhiri, the ERO team will be taken on a tour of the school during which several students will present to them.
