Welcome

As the new Principal of Ward School I look forward to seeing how our Tamariki continue to develop and grow as active learners and participants in our community. Our vision of Leading Our Learning – Whai Akoranga drives everyone to be on TRACK at Ward School. We want our learners to know that they can make a difference to what and how they learn, the choices they make, and the relationships they have with others and their environment. Our “On TRACK” school values of being Together, Respectful, Adaptable, Creative, and Kind are the foundation of how we think, act, behave and grow at Ward School. At Ward School we create opportunities for every learner to have success and feel inspired to lead their learning by using “On TRACK” values all the way to the SEA. We want our awesome students to be Self-managing, Engaged, Active learners who think critically and seek to make positive impacts in their current and future communities.

Reef Class Term 2

Tena koutou katoa

I am writing to update you on what is happening for Reef in Term 2. I am going to employ 2 Teachers to work 2 Days each a week with myself taking the 5th day. We have had very kind offers from 2 local teachers to support us through the term. Sara Phillips (The wife of Pastor Phillips) will work every second Monday ( not weeks where Year 7 & 8 have Technology) and every Tuesday. I will take the Year 6 students on Technology days. Sarah is an experienced teacher who currently works 3 days a week at Richmond View School teaching Science, Te Reo Maori and P.E but is Primary School trained and qualified.

Logan Davies will teach on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Logan also has lots of Primary experience and currently relieves regularly at Seddon School. I will teach the class on Fridays.

Sara and Logan are committed to providing great learning programmes for our Reef Students. Having met with them both over the holiday period I am very confident that we will be able to work together successfully. I feel that this is the best option to bring some consistency and stability to the classroom over this term 2 period.

I am pleased to say that we have a very promising candidate to take over Reef from Term 3. I will provide more information when I have all the fine details sorted and finalised. I hope you have all had a relaxing and refreshing holiday break.

Please note our First Monday is a Tech day for our Year 7/8 Students so I will be working with our Year 6 students for Day 1. Technology will run every second Monday on odd weeks of the term.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone again in the new Term.

Kind regards
