Whānau ora - Teaching TG time
Whānau ora - Dedicated teaching time.
We often ask the question when are we teaching students to study? When will we teach students about lease forms for flatting, how to engage in positive relationship, supporting career education etc. This is our teaching time for the non curricular teaching, all that falls outside a curriculum and some that falls inside too, wellbeing and resilience, Goal setting, mentoring.
From 2023 Whanau ora time will be Horizontal (in year groups, called Wānanga) for 50mins of teaching programme time a week. There will also be 50mins of House time a week (Called Whanaungatanga) where the focus will be on developing across house relationships as well as a sense of pride and belonging.
There will be as many teachers as possible engaged as Whānau ora teachers - the goal is to get the class size down to 17 per Whānau ora class.
