Curriculum
The National Curriculum is composed of The New Zealand Curriculum and Te Marautanga o Aotearoa which set the direction for student learning and provide guidance for schools as they design and review their curriculum.
Although both come from different perspectives, each start with a vision of young people developing the competencies they need for study, work, and lifelong learning, so they may go on to realise their potential.
At Irongate school we are working towards a Localised Curriculum
Ko te manu e kai ana i te miro, nōna te ngahere. Ko te manu e kai ana i te mātauranga, nōna te ao.
The bird that partakes of the miro berry owns the forest. The bird that partakes of education owns the world.
We have 4 learning pou.
Literacy – our Year 1-3 tamariki are taught using the Better Start Literacy programme.
– our Year 4-8 tamariki
Maths – our school is part of the Ministry of Education DMIC – Developing Mathematics Inquiry communities
