TE KURA O TE HAONUI PĀNUI
Thursday 1st December 2022 - Week 7 - Term 4
Kia Ora koutou, welcome to our Pānui for Week 7.
We have had a few issues with staff sickness this week. Thanks everyone for your flexibility. It's the first day of December and as I sit and reflect on this fact, it almost feels that 2022 has been two years rolled into one. I'm sure you will agree, we have experienced a lot this year.
RONGOHIA TE HAU PERCEPTION SURVEY
Thank you to our whānau who have contributed to the Rongohia Te Hau Perception Survey. During November, we collected perception data from teachers, students and whānau about our Culturally Responsive and Relational Pedagogy goals that we have set ourselves. This has been a journey since 2020.
From your feedback, it is evident that relationships between student to teacher and teacher to whānau are crucial to the positive learning outcomes for all. Below we have included two Word Cloud images that show the common words that people (students and whānau) used in their responses - the bigger the word, the more times it was used. As you can see, it is overwhelmingly positive. Congratulations to everyone - he waka eke noa (we're all in this together).
Some of the messages we have heard from our whānau voice has made us think about effective communication - how we communicate the why behind decisions, strategic goals and systems that drive this thinking. This will inform our planning for 2023 and beyond.
