Curriculum

At Matangi School we aim to deliver a balanced and engaging curriculum.

There is a strong focus on literacy and numeracy, but the students of Matangi School have the opportunity to voice their topics of interest, and this helps the staff to plan accordingly.

Teachers are aware of the needs of their classes and individual students, and they cater for this by including a variety of different learning experiences.

Staff at Matangi School have embraced the updated New Zealand Curriculum, and are also using National Standards in Reading, Writing and Mathematics.

Collaborative Planning                                                                                                                                All teaching staff are involved in long term, collaborative planning of integrated units.

This planning helps to give even curriculum coverage, and is based on the needs and interests of the current students. Collaborative planning ensures consistency across the school, and teachers have seen the positive outcomes from this.
