Welcome to Elm Park School! We are a community focused school with a future focus to ensure we equip our students and our teachers with providing a broad and balanced approach to learning and education.
Our motto is to ‘Empowers all learners to achieve their personal best’. We are all learners at Elm Park School – our students, teachers, learning assistants, community and leaders. Elm Park has a strong character education programme which is underpinned by our schools core values of:
- Respect / Whakaute-a-ngiato,
- Resilience / Aumangea
- Responsibility / Takohanga.
We build these values into our teaching & learning and well being programmes.
Through our local curriculum we deliver the New Zealand Curriculum that delivers meaningful and targeted learning experiences. We have an all-round responsive balanced curriculum that promotes high expectations and standards for all our students. Alongside teaching our students content knowledge we also teach dispositions and strategies which enable our learners to become independent, capable and confident students who are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning.
Digital Technology is authentically used to enhance learning experiences and open up access to the curriculum for all students. We want our students to become critical and creative thinkers so they can contribute and thrive in an information, connected and complex world.
Learning relationships are extremely important to us. Not only between your child and the teacher, but the partnership between whānau and parents is vital and we are very committed to ensuring we provide optimal outcomes for our students.
