Kia ora Tahuna families,

Our School Vision and Values
To develop dynamic learners who make a positive contribution to our community.
ICARE values; Integrity, Challenge, Ambition, Respect and Encourage.

Principal Message
Our teachers are collating the most recent assessment results and are writing the end of year reports for the children of the class. It has been very pleasing to hear our children have been making positive progress. The end of year reports will show each child’s progress in relation to the NZ Curriculum levels in reading, writing and maths, and next learning steps for these areas. Reporting will be done on other learning areas, ICARE student/teacher reflection, student goals, general comment and attendance as well as their class for next year. I would like to sincerely thank all our teachers and staff for their dedication, hardwork and drive to make learning engaging and meaningful for our children. I would also like to thank our parents for your support with your child’s education and our wonderful school! Endeavour class reports go home after the children have been at school for 20 weeks and 40 weeks,
