Our large outdoor environments enable us to offer a wide range of activities for children to develop their physical skills and confidence; this has a direct correlation to brain development and their academic learning. To enhance what we already have in our own backyard we access Burrell Park to run Physical Fun sessions. Please click here for more information.

We underpin our programme with clear and positive expectations that help develop social competence in children.

During their time at kindergarten, children build positive relationships with each other and are encouraged to consider others in their play.

In Harakeke we are using the language of 'Habits of Mind' to grow your child's image of themselves as a learner, their understanding of how they learn, and to challenge them to experience new ways of learning.

At Te Rito we use the language and practices of ‘He Mapuna te Tamaiti’. Its purpose is to support us (kaiako/teachers) to understand and draw on effective practices that enhance children’s social and emotional competence, engagement, and learning. Please click here for more info.
