2014 Caring Tiaki Taonga
Each year a different Value is studied working through a 6 year cycle. Students who stay at Pt England for 8 years will
have covered all Values in that time.
Learning and Joy are embedded into everyday life at Pt England and are not part of the cycle. 2014 is the year of Caring.
Each week at Assembly a korero is introduced to the students which reinforces the Value and Key Competencies. Some
korero have been used for more than 8 years with success. Others are introduced as issues or contexts show a need.
Many of the korero are introduced using created songs and movies to reinforce and help the students to remember the concept.
The korero are revisited by the classroom teachers daily and are also seen on PENN. The students are able to say the korero
and have a concrete example to draw on when discussing them.
