Term 1 2021

Kia ora e te whānau, the term has started and thank you to parents and students who came in yesterday for goal setting day which enabled our studio staff to meet you face to face. 

Year 7 parents your child's next hurdle is navigating friendships, the workload and expectations of a senior student at Rāwhiti School.

The only way we've found as staff is for students to have a go at every opportunity available to them as they crop up during the year. e.g. swimming, gymnastics, PCT challenge, fitness as well as academic work. 

In Tangaroa our primary goal is to establish and build relationships with each child as learning flows when the student 'feels' comfortable in the work environment. The next two weeks will be relationship and friendship building, with teachers, parents and students getting to know each other.

As stated in yesterday's brief our Kaiawhina groups are for grouping only and not necessarily teaching groups. Teaching groups will be sorted out after week 2. 

Please encourage your child to have a go, be a risk taker and just to go for it!

If you need to talk to us, just email or contact and make an appointment.
