Mangatangi School students will be provided with opportunities to reflect on their learning and successes. Students will be supported in developing the skills and strategies required to become independent and creative life-long learners. This includes developing the knowledge, attitudes and values required to persevere when faced with a challenge, how to set and achieve specific learning goals and how to respond appropriately to feedback and feed-forward.

Staff and students at Mangatangi School understand the significance of fostering positive relationships that are conducive to learning not only with each

The Mangatangi Schools’ local curriculum has meaning for students, connects with their wider lives, and engages the support of families, whanau and communities in meaningful learning experiences.

Reporting to parents includes formal and informal parent interviews, written reports and portfolios of pupils’ work. Mangatangi School has an open door policy and parents are invited to communicate regularly with teachers. In addition to the school-wide weekly newsletter to parents and the wider community, classroom teachers send weekly panui to the whanau of their students to ensure they remain informed of classroom teaching and learning as it relates to their child. This is also available on Skool Loop and our Facebook page.

Regular reporting is made to the BOT and community. The wider community is invited to be involved in the school. Family and whanau are involved and consulted regularly through a range of methods and activities that enable them to participate in their child's learning.
