2018 has been a busy year with many changes. It is an exciting time, as change becomes the new norm. It was a privilege for me to take up the helm in term 2 of this year and to establish a strong leadership team which thrives on change, diversity and progress. The team are focused on accelerating student achievement using current theory and evidence to improve professional practice. The vision we are leading will ensure a holistic approach encompassing academic and social success for our Year 6 graduates at Pekerau School in 2018 and beyond.
2019 is looking promising for Pekerau school. We welcome 3 new teachers into our fold, who bring with them a wealth of knowledge to our already successful teaching team. We have an exciting curriculum planned that is centred largely around the parent, whanau and community voice we gathered earlier in the year. Expect the Pekerau students to be challenged, engaged, stretched and inspired to achieve great things!
Kia toa, kia manawanui. Be the best you can be!
