Information for Staff

1. Pisa Data: The feedback reports have come in from our students performance in the Pisa test from 2022. It was great to see that our students out performed the Decile mean in all 4 areas of Reading, Maths, Science and Creative thinking.

Please take a moment to read through the report which expands on student wellbeing, Social and Emotional Characteristics, Maths, Learning Experiences during Covid and Creative thinking. 

We had 100 students aged 15 participate in the survey last year, and there are some areas that need to be unpacked further. There are areas that need to be unpacked further as part of the Ako program, Te Whare Hauora and Learning Areas.

A couple of good stats below around Teacher-student relations.

2.Build a big blue future - the Interface Student Minecraft Competition is now open. This year they have teamed up with the Marine Stewardship Council and the challenge is to create a new exhibit for the National Aquarium of New Zealand. This could be a great learning opportunity for those who have a digital passion, or are interested in zoology!
