What is a Local Curriculum

A local curriculum is the way to bring the New Zealand curriculum to life in our school.  It should:

• Be responsive to the needs, identities, language, cultures, interests, strengths, and aspirations of our learners and their families
• Have a clear focus on what supports the progress of all learners
• Help students to understand Te Tirito o Waitangi – its past, present, and future (we will also be planning learning that helps students live the Treaty as citizens of Aotearoa)
• Help students engage with the knowledge, values, and key competencies, so they can go on to be confident and connected lifelong learners
