Northern Health School Community Consultation 2023

Dear whānau

Our school is currently working on our next strategic plan and the Board would value your feedback. We are keen to hear from students/ākonga, whānau and our wider community.

We look forward to hearing your views which will be treated with respect and will remain anonymous.

Our plan is built around two concepts:

Mana Tangata: which is about developing self-esteem. We aim to help our students / ākonga to do this by making progress and contributing to their community, the school and their peers. This is the horizon, the place we are aiming for.

Our goals in this area are:

NHS gives effect to Te Tiriti, leading to equitable access and outcomes for ākonga.
Goals and aspirations of ākonga and whānau inform the learning.
Ākonga experience and celebrate success in learning and enhanced wellbeing.
Ākonga transition is supported and enabled.

Ako Whakatere: is about accelerated learning, or increasing how much progress our students/ākonga are able to make. This is our way forward, how we get to the horizon and is the ground on which we stand.

We plan to meet our goals through:

Community and NHS whānau engagement and consultation (local curriculum, Individual Learning Plans, Iwi relationships).
Leaders, teachers and students/ākonga explore initiatives and seize opportunities that add value and support to our ākonga and staff.

The results of this survey will help us to improve our school and to lead to better outcomes for students/ākonga. Please complete the survey below by 13th November
