Our entire school participated in a professional development programme held over two days at the end of June.

At our school, we are committed to investing in our Professional Development days to enhance our skills and knowledge, enabling us to better support our students in achieving their goals.

During this Professional Development session, we had the privilege of attending workshops led by our highly qualified Kaiako/Teachers. The topics covered included:

  • Practical Strategies for Preparing Students for the Numeracy CAA with Jane Godfrey

  • Structured Literacy: Sentences, Sunshine Online, and Morphology with Jo Kennard, Ruth Eley, Kellie Waller, Danielle Fillion, and Julie Wan

  • Resources and Options for Likely Non-School Returners, Non-Academic, or Disengaged Ākonga by Nikki Freeman

  • A full-day presentation on Trauma-Informed Practices by Dr. Chris Garrod, Clinical Psychologist

We are excited to implement what we’ve learned to further support our students’ success!
