Background
  Who Are We?
  This is background information about the school, what we stand for and
  what we value.

Information about the school
Stanley Bay is a high performing co-educational school situated in Devonport on
 Auckland’s North Shore. The school was built in 1909 and originally consisted of six classrooms,
a further eight classrooms have been added over time and the facilities modernised to provide a future
focused learning environment.

The school population reflects the local community, with many students being the third generation to attend
the school. The ethnic make up is as follows:

NZ Maori        3%               NZ European      75%              Pasifika 2%
Asian           8%               Other            12%

What we stand for
    •   Inclusion
    •   Collaboration (Kahui Ako)
    •   Connections

Inclusion
We want all students to experience success regardless of their gender, ethnicity, skills or abilities. One factor
in the success of all our students is providing personalised learning opportunities that enable students to
learn through contexts that are relevant and allow them to explore their unique heritage. By providing a
localised curriculum all students can celebrate their identity, language and talents.

We recognise New Zealand’s bicultural heritage, and value the unique position of Maori in New Zealand
society. The school acknowledges the unique position of Maori through the provision of Te Reo and Tikanga
Maori and employs a fluent speaker of Maori to provide whole school instruction in Te Reo and kapa haka.
School occasions observe tikanga and the kaupapa of the school and community.

Success of Maori is a National Education Priority; we strive to improve outcomes for all students with a
deliberate focus on meeting the needs of Maori students. We do this by integrating elements of student
identity, language and culture into the curriculum and school culture.

Support from parents, whanau, hapu, iwi and the community will assist Maori to achieve
educational success. District hui have established a community perspective to support Maori
students. Stanley Bay School recognises that Tapuika (Te Arawa), and Tauranga Moana/Maataatua
iwi have an interest in our children and will participate and contribute to their education.

In accordance with the views of iwi kainga and tangata whenua we recognise that Te Reo and tikanga are
taonga.

                                                                                                             -4-

Collaboration
The Devonport Community of Learning (Kahui Ako) is a government initiative that commenced in 2016. Nine
schools from primary to high school joined together with the purpose of collaboratively raising achievement
for students in our local area and sharing expertise in teaching practice. Kahui Ako is a strong community and
has worked closely and is now in a unique position to build learner focused relationships to collaboratively
and collectively grow a culture of inquiry, which will result in;

    •   A common language of learning.
    •   Leadership and teaching strategies that are effective for engaging and accelerating the learning of all
        students with a focus on Maori, Pasifika and boys.
    •   Improved well-being /hauora of all learners and staff.
    •   Robust transition process from ECE to primary, Belmont Intermediate and onto Takapuna Grammar.
    •   Community goals that shape all Kahui Ako schools’ priorities.
    •   Effective collaboration between Kahui Ako schools

Further information can be found on the Kahui Ako website.

Connections
In a globally connected world, we need to prepare our learners to not only take advantage of all that this
offers but encourage them to question, investigate and act as global citizens. We support and encourage our
learners to become locally and globally connected and see it as an important part of their educational future.
Through a powerful emphasis on inquiry learning students have the opportunity to explore themes of local
and global significance and develop their own world view.

What we value
    •   Student Agency
    •   Teacher Agency
    •   Community Agency

Student Agency
Students take an active role in their own education. We provide opportunities to build leadership capacity,
challenge students in their learning and encourage them to take responsibility to lead their own learning.
This is student agency.

Teacher Agency
Teachers have high expectations of the students and themselves. They foster a love of learning and are
committed to continuous improvement of their practice. They are encouraged to take responsible risks and
innovate in the delivery of the curriculum. Collaboration amongst teachers facilitates open and often
challenging conversations, which encourages critical thinking and development of best practice. This is
teacher agency.

Community Agency
We value a strong collaborative relationship between home and school. At Stanley Bay those partnerships
focus on learning, this goes beyond simple relationships between teachers, leaders and family to a position
of shared professional accountability in a spirit of reciprocity.

At Stanley Bay we want parents to be actively involved in their child’s learning and believe that by working in
together we will achieve the best possible outcomes for the child. This is community agency
