We follow the Principles the of NZ <strong>Curriculum</strong><br />
At San Antonio School we encourage, model and explore the<br />
values of the New Zealand <strong>Curriculum</strong> in the following ways:<br />
hiranga – excellence<br />
All students are recognised as unique<br />
people made in the image and likeness<br />
of God and are empowered to learn and<br />
achieve to the best of their ability. There is<br />
a powerful learning culture.<br />
porihanga – community and<br />
participation<br />
‘The Little School with the Big Heart’<br />
The small size of the school fosters close<br />
and co-operative relationships between<br />
children of all ages. We are a family centred<br />
school where parents actively participate<br />
in their child’s learning.<br />
rerekētanga – diversity<br />
As a Catholic School we recognise the<br />
importance of the relationship between<br />
faith and culture. All students will<br />
experience a curriculum that reflects New<br />
Zealand’s bi-cultural heritage and multicultural<br />
society. At San Antonio School<br />
the treaty of Waitangi is recognized as a<br />
covenant and a sacred treasure.<br />
kaitiakitanga – ecological<br />
sustainability<br />
We believe that environmental education<br />
is investing in our future. All students<br />
recognise how important it is to protect<br />
and look after the world we live in.<br />
ngākau tapatahi – integrity<br />
We encourage all students to be honest,<br />
responsible, accountable and act ethically<br />
in all interactions. We expect staff to<br />
model this behaviour at all times. We<br />
respect each child’s/parent’s/teacher’s<br />
human rights at all times and act in a way<br />
which honours that.<br />
tika, pono – equity<br />
All student’s identities, cultures, languages<br />
and talents are recognized and affirmed.<br />
Learning needs are identified and<br />
addressed justly and fairly so full potential<br />
can be achieved.
