Our curriculum at Campbells Bay School reflects the intent and passion for learning brought to us by the New Zealand Curriculum. Our delivery of curriculum at CBS places our tamariki at the centre and offers them an engaging and vibrant journey through years one to six.
Our vision emphasises the importance of setting high expectations and following through by driving learning with purpose. Our goal encompasses the intent that as students journey with us and then graduate Campbells Bay they are prepared and eager to continue their learning, as engaged and thoughtful citizens.
"...how schools and teachers can respond to diverse groups of students and develop teaching practices that promote learning for everyone. In this approach, students’ prior knowledge, language and ways of making sense of the world are used to inform teaching practices rather than being seen as barriers to learning."
"Assessment for learning is best described as a process by which assessment information is used by teachers to adjust their teaching strategies, and by students to adjust their learning strategies."
"... an approach to teaching in which teachers continuously inquire into the impact of their teaching actions on student learning, make informed changes to improve their teaching practice in order to enhance student learning, and measure the impact that these changes have on their students’ learning."
"PB4L School-Wide looks at behaviour and learning from a whole-of-school as well as an individual child perspective. The framework is based on international evidence that can be tailored to your school’s own environment and cultural needs. "

"Collaboration is the process of working together to achieve a common goal. In teaching, the common goal is always improved learner outcomes."
"Children and young people learn best when they feel accepted, when they enjoy positive relationships with their fellow learners and teachers, and when they are able to be active, visible members of the learning community."
"Students have a sense of "agency" when they feel in control of things that happen around them; when they feel they can influence events. This is an important sense for learners to develop. They need to be active participants in their learning.'
"The high expectations principle calls for schools and teachers to deliver a curriculum that:
has high expectations for all students
offers teaching practices and learning opportunities that enable students to meet those expectations
recognises students' prior knowledge and skills
enables all learners to achieve to their full potential"
