Team Summary: What have we done to enact our vision and values this year?
This year we have unpacked what the school shield symbolises and its history, we have unpacked the cornerstones through group work of looks like, sounds like and feels like. We created a rubric from the cornerstones and used this for the students to set goals. We have unpacked the school motto 'I will note cease from mental fight. We have included on Class Dojo, behaviours rewards that link to the cornerstones and vision. We have set up high expectations of what this looks like at Maeroa in terms of actions, book work learning, moving around the school etc. The learner profile is included on all unit plans and is openly discussed daily. The language is used and integrated into classroom life.
