Our Learning Initiatives<br />
Delivery of curriculum should cater for individual learning needs and abilities. The College is fortunate to<br />
have a Learning Support Department. The staff of this department work in partnership with the teaching<br />
staff to co-ordinate specialist Learning Support classes, in-class tutoring, lunch-time tutorials, mentoring,<br />
opportunities for our ‘gifted and talented’ students, diagnostic testing, and interpretation of data to<br />
support student learning.<br />
Learning opportunities are not limited to our students. Staff are involved in on-going and progressive<br />
professional development. Some of the topics for the 2017 focus groups are:<br />
• Bicultural and multicultural approaches in the classroom<br />
• Collaborative Learning<br />
• Critical thinking<br />
• Using inquiry to develop digital skills<br />
• Using cultural experiences in the junior curriculum<br />
• Incorporating more Te Reo in programmes<br />
• Wellness<br />
• We also have a number of groups trialling a critical friend model<br />
