Our Philosophy

Wisdom begins with wonder - by Socrates

To cherish the joy of families and the many different ways they come to us.

With Te Whaariki and Kei Tua o te Pae as guidelines, we recognise that each and every child is competent and capable, and we will adapt our pedagogy to support all learning. Theorists of human behaviour, Piaget, Vygotsky and Bronfennrenner, underpin our assessment and evaluation of children's learning.

Something for us all to think about

At a recent professional development course we were given an opportunity to watch the following clip. It is quite long (4 mins) but it is worth watching to get an idea of the world that children are growing up in.

Children are using technology. They will face challenges and they will need skills to manage these challenges. Who will teach them these skills, their parents, their teachers? Do we know the technologies that they will be using?

Liz Clarkson from New Lynn Primary gave us this message:
"Don't prepare children for our world; Prepare them for their world."
