VISION & VALUES
                                           The Vision for ākonga of Lucknow School
At Lucknow School we aim to develop ākonga to be Kind, Honest and Active Learners in all they do. These are our Lucknow Values.

                                                      Mā te Huruhuru, ka rere te Manu
                                                  Adorn the bird with feathers, and it will fly

                                            Values and Learning at Lucknow School
We are a PB4L School (Positive Behaviour for Learning). This means we actively teach, promote and reward children when they display our
values and make good choices. Our school values were recently reviewed in consultation with the community.

KIND.         Children will learn to respect ‘Themselves’, ‘Others’, and ‘Property’. By showing respect children will respect differences in
              individuals and cherish diversity and equity. They will set and maintain high standards for themselves in everything they do.

HONEST.       The children will be honest, act ethically and be accountable for their decisions. They will be courteous and caring. They will
              have a high sense of purpose and a desire to better themselves.

ACTIVE.       Children will be striving to achieve to their potential because they are fully involved and passionate about their learning. We will
              be looking for our positive children to develop into lifelong learners. Happy, confident and connected learners. The children will
              take risks and step outside their comfort zone to push their boundaries and continue to improve in every aspect of their lives.
PRIORITY LEARNERS
                                              Lucknow School as an Inclusive School
Lucknow School welcomes all learners into the school, including learners with special needs and learners of all ethnic backgrounds. Currently
Lucknow has over 20 different nationalities represented within the roll. We aim to build a partnership with the parents, families and whanau
of these learners to ensure they receive the best possible learning opportunities. Our expectations will be that the ākonga achieve the best
they can and this will be the expectation we would share with the caregivers in the partnership we establish with them. Our school has a well-
established IEP (Individual Education Plan) for ākonga with special needs or backgrounds that require specific support to meet a range of
learning or behavioural needs. This involves a regular planning and reporting programme in conjunction with caregivers and specialist support
personnel.

                                                              Māori Learners
We will recognise the cultural diversity of Aotearoa by ‘naturally’ integrating Te Reo Māori and Tikanga Māori. The school curriculum will
encourage ākonga to understand and respect differences and similarities between cultures. Regular, direct and indirect, Te Reo Māori lessons
will ensure all ākonga are familiar with greetings, social phrases, instructions, waiata and mihi. Cultural activities such as kapahaka festivals
and performances will also be a feature of our school programmes. A Whānau Group has been operating for a number of years aimed at
building the cultural capital and input of our whānau enabling them to share in learning experiences which enhance the students Te Ao Māori.
Teachers are aware of the Ta Taiako competencies, and these are a part of the staff’s appraisal process.

All school wide data gathering enables us to identify the attainment levels of our Māori ākonga. Māori ākonga with specific learning, social or
physical needs will be catered for with additional support as best can be within the resourcing limitations we have.
We will endeavour to enable the ākonga to understand and have knowledge of their heritage as well as strengthening the identity of these
ākonga within our school. In 2018 a plan was created in consultation with whānau with support from the BOT to directly target Māori
learners and their families. The plan ‘Whakamanawa’ has direct aims and objectives supported by the Board of Trustees, which will be
introduced and monitored over time.

The Board of Trustees will consider any requests from the Māori community to meet their needs or for instruction in Te Reo in light of the
resources and expertise available at the time.
