Hearing from you
Hearing from you
In 2019 our team worked to get your voice and ideas about what should be included in our curriculum. We ran 3 workshops over successive nights at the Onewhero Rugby Club, Te Awamarahi Marae and the Tuakau Cosmopolitan Club.
We ran three activities on these nights that were designed to get participants talking to each other and sharing their learning and experiences.
What are the key skills and contexts that our learners should know about?
This was a chance to share the different skills and ideas that students needed to know about or be exposed to during their time at Onewhero Area School. We were interested to hear from our community about the learning that make a student from Onewhero Area School different.
What does success look like at the different ages within school
The objective for this activity was to get people talking and thinking about how we should measure success and what are the important attributes for success that we should look for in our students.
How can you help - in this question we wanted you to help us make connections to people in our community that can help us achieve we you've asked for. This might be local businesses that we can connect with, local people who can share the hitori of the area, or local places that our students should visit to support their learning in a context that we already cover at school.
What you told us
What you told us
When we consolidated the responses from the questions about the skills and contexts that you wanted us to teacher these were the key areas we needed to focus on
When we spoke with local Hapū about how we could best support our Māori students, they helped us to identify some areas to work on:
Inaianei - Where our Hapū perceive we are at currently
Tautoko - What our hapu think is going well
Kaha Ake - What we need to make stronger
Ngā Arai - What is stopping us from achieving the best outcomes for our Maori learners
When you talked about success you mentioned having kids who know themselves, know how to work with others, and can be successful in their own way.
This is what some of our kids said:
We would be successful when we can:
Deal with our money
Manage our mental health
Face challenges
Be employable
Achieve in our classes
Be practical
Have some understandings about flatting, managing a budget, and employment rights.
So what are we going to do?

We will refine our ways of teaching - Play, Student Agency, Project Based Learning, Inquiry, Well-being, and Integrated Learning.
Check out the different pages on this site for more details about how will will measure success what changes we make to our plan along the way.
Begin developing Graduate Profiles so we can map the key stages of learning and adapt our programmes to suit out students.

Reporting what matters
Reporting what matters
Refine our reporting and assessment so we can report the stuff that matters to you.
This work began in 2019 and will continue as we revise and iterate. Currently our Junior Team are exploring how we can use SeeSaw to report.
To support our Māori learners these are the steps and timelines we will work towards.
To help us we will work with Manawhenua representatives from the Ministry of Youth Development and Huakina Youth Development Trust.
