Maukatere Programme

Our Year 7 program is focused on foundation skills and knowledge. In the first semester of Year 7 our focus is building student confidence.
We feel relationships needed to be a key focus if we want our students to be creative and take risks to gain deeper learning. Therefore much like many schools, we approached this by implementing whānau time in the morning to give the teachers an opportunity to get to know and check in with each student in a non academic way. Only then do the students enter their context skills technology program for the day.
