A Community of Learning | Kāhui Ako is a group of education and training providers that form around children and young people's learning pathways, and work together to help them achieve their full potential.
Our school belongs to the Waiuku Kāhui Ako / Waiuku Community of Learning.
“Working together to grow our Learners and Community”
Our Kāhui Ako schools will work together in a collaborative way with students, parents, whānau and community to achieve the achievement goals.
We will achieve this by working together on four important goals:
Grow hāuora amongst our learners, whānau and staff
Develop and nurture effective relationships and partnerships with our community
Foster equitable learning opportunities and outcomes for all learners
Ensure sustainable Kāhui Ako infrastructure and systems are in place and are effective
Whakawhanaungatanga
Our relationships and partnerships with the students and community that we serve.
Mahitahi
Collaboration; our commitment to work together towards common goals that we have established together.
Together we can achieve things that we cannot achieve alone.
