School Description

                        Lynmore School (Te Kura o Owhatiura) was established in 1956. It is a popular primary school in Rotorua catering for
                        children from Year 0 -Year 6. There is a school bus for children living at the Lake Okareka and Lake Tarawera but most
                        children either walk or are driven to school each day. The school has an enrolment zone, in 2020 the roll is predicted to range
                        between 600–660. Lynmore is part of the Rotorua East Community of Learners and has been proactive in being a pilot
                        school for PaCT from December 2014, this our main summative and formative assessment tool for teachers and student. We
                        are pleased to see the progress aspect of PaCT being further developed. Work has commenced on a Kāhui Ako wide
approach to local curriculum and the curriculum mapping tool coherent pathways as a basis for Kāhui Ako wide graduate profile.

The establishment of whanau groups have enabled more opportunities for tuakana teina and student leadership continues to be successful. 2021 will
see a focus on developing and embedding the new whare ako structure. The FISH Philosophy of interacting with our community, students and
colleagues has been adopted. PB4L will be central to much of our PLD for 2021. The school has also employed a full time Kaiawhena to support
Tikanga and Te Reo Māori across the school.

Play based learning is being undertaken in Year 0-2 and teachers are involved in inquiry around its development. Students in Year 3-6 undertake
STEM and inquiry based learning. The school continues to focus on Future Focussed Learning and is undergoing a local curriculum redraft with
thinking, creativity and science at the centre embedded in local contexts with the strong support of our local hapu Te Roro o Te Rangi who as part of
iwi partnering with Kāhui Ako initiative are running the Ōtauira programme and supporting the development of local contexts.

Lynmore School has a range of property provision but there is currently not enough adequate quality classroom space available to students and
staff. 6 old prefabs were removed in late 2018 and 2 more in 2019. A large capital works project replacing 6 classrooms in a new purpose built block
is underway and due for completion at the beginning of 2022. The school has a school hall with mezzanine floor and multi purpose room, a heated
swimming pool, an administration block, a library/resource centre, purpose built gymnasium, BoT funded Cultural Centre for music and dance and a
variety of outside storage areas. The school grounds are attractive and well maintained. They include a native bush area called Waitawa bush which
children can use for environmental studies and which also contains a pump bike track. The school has a focus on health and sport, dance, swimming
and cultural activities.
