Week 5 - Term 4 - 2023

 Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari kē he toa takitini 

My success should not be bestowed onto me alone, it was not individual success but the success of a collective 

This whakatauki acknowledges team effort, that one’s success is due to the support and contribution of many. Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes community/a team to enable an individual’s success. It’s a good whakatauki to use when wanting to acknowledge the support of many.

Information for Staff:

1. Thank you again to all Kaiako who have helped our ākonga get through their learning journey. As said yesterday, we have got them to the point, now it is up to them to study and do their absolute best.


2. This week we have been featured on the NCEA.education website as a case study for what the school has been doing in the literacy space - feel free to check it out here. It is also worthwhile reading what other schools are doing as there are a number of great initiatives. Some of them are around what departments can be doing which could support your planning for the upcoming TOD on Friday 10 November.

3. NCEA Change Program updates: There are a number of workshops available for different learning areas coming up - if you are wanting to attend, please register and put through a PLD application. To read the full MoE November Newsletter click HERE.

4. For a bit of light reading - check out the following article - 'Using AI for Learning fun' especially around chatting to a historical figure and analysing a written response.
