Responsive Curriculum 

Our thinking

A responsive curriculum designs rich opportunities and coherent pathways for all ākonga. Being responsive to the needs, identity, language, culture, interests, strengths and aspirations of our learners and their whānau, will bring our curriculum to life. When designing our curriculum, a clear focus is on what supports the progress of our learners. It includes the articles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, which are integrated into a range of learning contexts and in all kura. Learners will engage with the knowledge, values, and competencies so they can go on and be confident and connected lifelong learners.
