Goal Setting Conferences - Today and tomorrow
24 Mar 2026

We Can’t Wait to See You! 

Kia ora koutou,

Today marks the start of our goal-setting conferences! We are so looking forward to catching up with you and your tamariki to plan for the year ahead.

Make Your Mark: ????️ While you’re at school, please look out for our "Aspiration Walls" in Room 6, Room 3 and the office.  Please look outside these spaces for the Aspiration Walls, if the weather continues to be this nice, we'll set them up outside! We have Post-it and pens set up at the stations with three quick questions about your child’s passions and your dreams for their future.

Why do it? Your voice is the most important piece of the puzzle. Sharing a "positive sprinkle" about your child helps us ensure our teaching truly reflects what your whānau values most. It only takes a minute, but it makes a world of difference to our 2026/2027 planning.

See you soon!

The questions are

"What unique strengths or passions would you love to see flourish in your child while they are with us?"

"As we partner in your child’s journey, what type of learning do you value most for their future?"

"What does 'success' look like for your child, and how can we best support that at school?"
