Inquiry Learning

At Endeavour we aim to make students future ready. As none of us know exactly what opportunities the future could hold for each individual child we prepare students the best way we can. This is by helping them to develop skills that can assist them to navigate and adapt to life circumstances.

The way we do this is to support our Inquirers to grow their Endeavour values, to become amazing Explorers, Thinkers and Citizens (what we refer to as the ETC’s).

Explorer

We believe that Endeavour Explorers are self motivated and able to monitor their own learning when taking risks, through investigation and discovery

Thinker

We believe that an Endeavour Thinker is someone who can actively seek knowledge, ask questions and think critically, creatively and in a caring manner

Citizen

We believe that an Endeavour Citizen is able to interact effectively with thought and care for themselves, each other, their environment and the wider community both local & global

Are you our next Principal?

Our Foundation Principal has been promoted, and we are seeking a highly engaging, collaborative and innovative leader to continue to guide us on our incredible journey.

Endeavour Primary School (Y1-6), located in North East Hamilton, is about Learning Without Limits, and our Explorer, Thinker, Citizen learner profiles represent our approach to learning for everyone.

Seven years ago we started as the first purpose built Innovative Learning Environment (ILE) in the Waikato, and as we continue to evolve, we aim to be valued for our rich and diverse learning programmes and happy and fulfilled students. Our School is exceptional in empowering all children to learn and grow as individuals through experiences and opportunities beyond the standard curriculum.

Our new principal will be a strategic thinker with proven experience in leading collaborative learning teams. They will demonstrate leadership that fosters innovation and collaboration, will be passionate and committed to enhancing the leadership capacity and professional growth of our team, and have built successful relationships with iwi and community groups. An excellent understanding and practical application of the New Zealand Curriculum is critical for this role.

This is a great opportunity for a proven performer to lead our school to the next stage of our success.

Our students have said that they are “looking for a principal who will learn with them, will have fun with them, is culturally aware and celebrates diversity”.
