2019 - Kia pai te kotahi
Each year a different Value is studied. 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. 2019 is the year of Cooperation; "Better Together". 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.
