We believe teachers are the most important feature of a successful education system.
At Waitakaruru School teachers will:
Believe that every student can improve.
Inquire into the impact of their teaching on their students.
Set high expectations for students to raise standards.
Improve access for students to support and external expertise as required.
Provide safe learning environments for risk taking and focused goal setting.
Be supported by ongoing targeted professional development.
