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. [1] 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:
