A LEARNER PROFILE

A LEARNER PROFILE
Our approach to visioning for a learner who graduates from our school has been informed by several references including the Ministry of Education statement on the Key Competencies http://nzcurriculum.tki.org.nz/The-New-Zealand-Curriculum/Key-competencies * thinking * using language, symbols, and texts * managing self * relating to others * participating and contributing

and the International Baccalaureate Organisation's learner profile.  the key elements of which are that students will be:
 * Inquirers
 * Knowledgeable
 * Thinkers
 * Communicators
 * Principled
 * Open-minded
 * Caring
 * Risk-takers
 * Balanced
 * Reflective

We subscribe to the Ministry of Education aspiration for learners who are:
 * Confident - we mean


 * Connected


 * Actively involved


 * Lifelong learners

We also have a vision for students for whom Te Marautanga Maori is the curriculum:

Te Marautanga o Aotearoa envisages young Māori with a strong sense of identity as Māori participating actively in the Māori world and gaining a rich base of skills that will offer them a range of career choices. It expands this vision in a summary of the most important qualities and characteristics a young Māori graduate will have.

There are close connections between: helping students to develop the characteristics in this graduate profile helping them develop career management competencies.

Key resources we rely on:
