We provide a learning environment rich in Pasifika language, culture and identity.
a culturally responsive curriculum
Our faia’oga use The Early Childhood Cirriculum, Te Whāriki , and cultural competencies frameworks such as Tataiako,Tapasā and Te Whātu Pokeka to guide the planning, assessment and evaluation of the learning of tamaiti.
We welcome and value whānau contributions to the programme and are responsive to the children's different cultural backgrounds. Pasifika children are well supported to achieve success through culturally relevant experiences. We currently have teachers who are fluent in their mother tongue, speaking Māori, Samoan and Kiribati.
StoryPark
Each child will have their own profile on Storypark to record incidental happenings, your child's learning experiences and their participation at the centre. Storypark is used to document your child’s learning journey, with a focus on their interests, strengths and abilities. You will also be able to share whanau moments with your child’s teachers.
