FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Kia ora koutou, Welcome back! The weather is warmer and the sun is shining. Firstly, a warm welcome to Matua Tapuraka Rikihana, who joins our teaching team. We are very fortunate to have Matua Tapuraka teaching in Whānau 10 for the rest of the year. Community Consultation Last term, we asked community, staff and students to complete the NZCER* Inclusiveness Survey. This survey was completed online. All of the questions were designed by NZCER* and the survey tool is used by schools across the country. We were absolutely thrilled with the results. The feedback was incredibly positive and so we are really proud of the work that we have all done as a school and community. As well as the warm fuzzies, the survey has also given us some food for thought with regards to next steps, areas for development and areas that require further investigation. We have shared the data with staff, students and our Board of Trustees. I have also included a summary of the findings in this newsletter. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank everyone who took the time to complete the survey. Your feedback is appreciated, considered, and will inform future communication and priorities for the work that we do. *New Zealand Council for Educational Research ERO Over the next 2 weeks we will be audited by the Education Review Office (ERO), as part of their regular review cycle. We are looking forward to their visit, their feedback and the guidance towards next steps for us as a school and community. We are also nervous because we have all worked so hard and we hope that ERO can see the transformation, as we strive to reach the summit of Mauao! The key evaluative question and focus for the review is: How effectively does the Mount Maunganui Intermediate school curriculum respond to Māori and other children whose learning & achievement needs acceleration? On Wednesday 25 October, you are invited to a parent meeting from 2.30 - 3.00 pm. This meeting will be held in the school library. ERO are particularly interested in talking with families who have students whose learning has been accelerated or students who may have ongoing needs. If you can join us, we would love your support. ERO have also asked to meet with the Whānau whose students are in Whānau Tekau and part of our Reo Rua bilingual programme. This meeting will be at 4.00 pm in the classroom. Pasifika Festival Wednesday 25th of October, at Tahatai Coast School. Our Pasifika group is performing at 1.00pm. There are also 2 groups performing from Omanu School. The full timetable is included later in this newsletter. Have a wonderful Labour Weekend everyone. Ma te wa Ms M/Whaea Lisa Principal

NZCER RESULTS

Analysis of Inclusive Practices Survey Feedback from Students Areas that stand out that students see as strengths of ours are: (80%+)

Helping them get on with different people Listening to their ideas about their learning Treating them and their families with respect Teachers showing them how to learn and do their best Supporting them in lots of areas e.g. leadership, sport, cultural areas

In the comments section of the survey, the areas that were mentioned most often were: (15+ responses) It’s fun 16 I learn lots 21 Enjoy coming to school 90 Feel welcomed/supported/accepted 45 Like the staff 44 Lots of opportunities 15

Areas that stand out that our students see as needing some work from us are: (25%+ of responses)

Listening to things that students are worried about Listening to their ideas Helping them sort out their problems Asking them about what they want to learn about Asking about their families and culture **(49% would like more interaction in this area) Noticing them when they do well

Some areas from the student voice data that we have identified that may require further inquiry Ensuring that all students know where they can seek help, when they need it Science Kids behaviour towards each other (especially when adults are not around) PE gear Changing rooms and toilets Assemblies - length Chairs in hall Devices Homework - purpose? Behaviour of students on council buses Winter uniform options (long pants, jackets, socks, sandals and shoes) Field Gym




NZCER RESULTS continued

Analysis of Inclusive Practices Survey Feedback from Families Areas that stand out that parents see as strengths of ours are:

Making parents and children feel welcome It is a safe place Children are accepted for who they are SLT work well with parents of different cultures Children are not isolated for their learning All staff treat families and students with respect Their child can demonstrate their learning

In general, our community is happy with how they see education happening within our school for their child. In the comments section of the survey, the 2 areas that were mentioned most often were that they were “generally happy” and there is “strong home/school communication”

Areas that stand out that parents see as needing some work from us are: Sharing of information about students when they have more than 1 teacher (teachers other than the main

teacher, do not know their children so well) Using parent knowledge of their child in setting goals Our ability to access “extra” help for their child, if it’s required. (This is a frustration shared by schools and

staff as well). Helping children to make friends Making links to student’s cultures and backgrounds, within the classroom Contacting families to share children’s successes

Some areas that we have identified from the data that may require further inquiry

Extra-curricular and clubs - opportunities for non-competitive - arts/sports/cultural. Balance of participation versus competition? Can we do better here or is it about communicating the non-competitive opportunities? Implications for extracurricular responsibilities for 2018

Year 7 camp menu? Learning conference preparation - ensuring we are all on the same page student led conferencing -

modelling. Pre - interview sheet for whanau to complete - strengths and goals? Digital learning and development home school digital links After school tuition? Perceptions of Accelerate/Whanau class

Analysis of Feedback from staff

School leaders 11 Classroom or Subject Teachers 20 Teacher Aides 3 Admin/Support Staff 2

The results from this survey show us that staff are “on the same page” about how the school operates. This demonstrates that staff are generally cohesive in their view of the school.

This cohesiveness is particularly heartening given the number of staff changes that have occurred this year. It is particularly pleasing that staff indicate that this is a safe place for students and staff.

The area that staff seem to be indicating development in is professional development around the support of diverse learners.




INTERNATIONAL NEWS Our visiting group, from Ritsumeikan Junior High School, have enjoyed working with our whanau class. They are really enjoying interacting with students at school and being part of their host families, who are making them so welcome. We are now planning for our last group visit for the year. Kyoto-Sangyo, a regular visitor to our school, will be coming with 11 girls and 7 boys for 8 nights, 28 November to 6 December. We urgently need families to host these students. It is a rewarding experience for your family and for them. If you are able to help, can you please contact Jane Howard [email protected]. Thank you

Can you HELP??
