Our Vision, Principles and Values

Our Vision: 

We are Empowered, Respectful, Responsible Learners

Wesley Primary School is a small, multicultural learning environment situated in Mt Roskill.  We cater for students from Year 0 - Year 6 and celebrate the diversity of our learners.  For many of our students English is their second language.  We believe in building strong relationships with whānau to strengthen student success.  

The shared learning culture within the school is one where students are at the centre of school decision making. There is a commitment from all teachers to provide relevant, personalised learning that is culturally responsive.

We strive to enable our students to become respectful, responsible and motivated learners who are connected within and beyond their community, and empowered to create an optimistic future. We are committed to students’ wellbeing and growing resilient learners who believe in themselves.
