Tēnā koutou katoa, School Culture At a recent full school assembly, I spoke to the students about school culture and its importance. School culture is the "personality" of the school or "the way we do things around here". It encompasses the shared beliefs, values, traditions, and norms of our school community. It is shaped by the complex, evolving mix of interpersonal relationships, leadership styles, physical environment, and ingrained customs. Elements of the school's culture include:
Culture is often seen, heard, and felt through these elements, influencing everything from student motivation and achievement to staff professional development. We all have a role to play in maintaining and growing a positive school culture. Thank you to all of our school community for your contributions. LipSync A highlight of the school calendar, LipSync, was recently held in the school hall over two nights. Held earlier in the year than previously, each night was a sell out with supportive and appreciative crowds encouraging the 120+ different students that passed across the stage. Well done to all of our performers for your creativity, work, effort and courage to perform. Thank you to our sound, lighting and backstage team for your time and commitment and also to our staff for making the event possible. I look forward to LipSync 2027! Support staff Appreciation Week This week is Support Staff Appreciation Week. Thank you to all of our amazing support staff for all that you do to make our school a wonderful place to learn and to work. We are incredibly fortunate and grateful to have such committed, skilled and experienced support staff that go above and beyond for the school and our students.
