MISSION STATEMENT - A COMMUNITY SCHOOL FOR QUALITY LEARNING

"Reach For The Stars"

Description: We are a full primary school catering for students from Years 1-8.  We are located in the rural township of Bulls between Wanganui and Palmerston North.

We believe in high quality teaching and learning in Literacy and Numeracy.  We also believe students need to experience a balanced curriculum including the arts, science, social sociences, health and technology.  Regular physical fitness is also an important part of our programme. 

Here are some quotes from our most recent ERO report (May 2009)

• ...positive relationships between students and teachers based on respect...
• ...students are enthusiastic and independent learners...
• ...effective teaching practices advance students learning...
• ...successfully use technology (8 interactive whiteboards and 2 laptop pods)
• ...teachers manage classrooms well, provide stimulating and child-centred surroundings...
• ...Principal and Senior Managers have a clear vision for continuous improvement...

And finally - in response to National Standards, these ERO comments relate specifically to how we report to parents:

• ...we provide guidelines encouraging parents to involve themselves in their children's learning...
• ...regular, comprehensive information about children's achievement and progress is reported to parents...
• ...programme effectiveness is well monitored through robust self-review...
• ...ongoing student progress is supported by comprehensive evaluation practices...
