Years 5 and 6

HOLISTIC CURRICULUM

Social responsibility is fostered through encouragement to consider their actions and their influence on others from what feels right in their hearts and minds.

REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCES

Our caring educators provide genuine support for students' feelings and thoughts about themselves and others as they transition into puberty and head towards secondary school.

PERSONALISED LEARNING

Students learn to use their growing academic and creative abilities to explore ideas and issues that are important to them

Madi Taylor

“It is important to me that our tamariki are able to learn in an environment that encourages them to be open, confident, and collaborative with opportunities to make mistakes and push their comfort zones.

Ruby Cox

“When children have the safety and freedom to discover and embrace who they truly are, they thrive in ways unimaginable. I feel very privileged to support them on that journey.”

Consolidating learning and growing creativity

This is typically a consolidation period for students. They are still in the middle of their creative development phase and are provided with feedback and guidance from trusted educators. Nature is now shifting the brain’s focus from emotional development to the further opening of its rational/logical abilities. Their learning potential is supported through the Feuerstein cognitive development programme.

Developing self-expression and confidence

Reading, writing and maths are a big focus for year 5 and 6 students, and wherever possible learning happens through meaningful real-world experiences. Students regularly meet with their educator to review their learning pathway. Projects, selected by students and guided by educators, are an important factor in growing their creativity and self-expression. Students are guided to learn team skills and leadership skills and are encouraged to grow through personal and group challenges.
