Our Progress Aspirations

We have identified the following three Progress Aspirations for our Kāhui Ako:

1. Mahitahi | Collaboration and Partnerships 

2. Te Marau-ā-Rohe | Localised Curriculum

3. Hauora | Wellbeing

Progress Aspiration 1: Mahitahi | Collaboration and Partnerships

Progress Aspiration #1: Shared Goals 

To establish strong partnerships and effective collaboration between schools and the wider Tauranga Peninsula Kāhui Ako community, with a focus on establishing coherent pathways for all learners from ECE to Y13 and beyond.

Progress Aspiration 2: Te Marau-ā-Rohe | Localised Curriculum

Progress Aspiration #2: Shared Goal 

To provide ākonga with access to a localised curriculum, where they will experience culturally rich learning opportunities, which will be responsive to their needs, identity, language, culture, interests, strengths and aspirations of their whānau.

Progress Aspiration 3: Hauora | Wellbeing

Progress Aspiration #3: Shared Goal  

A positive culture of wellbeing will be embedded across the Kāhui Ako achieved through: 

1. To implement a localised whānau-centred model of hauora that supports the development of a positive culture of wellbeing within our Kāhui Ako. 

2. To implement the Learning Support Delivery Model that supports better facilitation and sharing data enabling us to work together which creates more flexibility so we can improve outcomes for children and young people. 

These localised models will promote partnerships and collaboration to improve hauora, address students’ needs and enable our people to feel happy, healthy, accepted, respected, supported and connected.
