                        We are developing respectful, responsible, life-long learners who live their faith every day.

                  • be respectful                                                      •     be self–managers
                  • be responsible                                                     •     be thinkers

                                                           Learner Qualities
               “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your soul and love your neighbour as yourself.”

Responsibility
Living a life of faith means we are called to love God above all things and love our neighbours as ourselves. This means we have a responsibility to
think about our options, be honest, make appropriate choices and be prepared to be accountable for our actions. We can be trusted to meet set
expectations and display attributes of good citizenship.

Respect
Living a life of faith means we are called to love God above all things and love our neighbours as ourselves. This means that we will value our own
and others’ opinions and show a willingness and ability to use common courtesies, take care of our own and others’ property and to be aware of the
rights of others.

Can-Do Attitude
Students with a Can-Do Attitude have the courage and confidence to challenge themselves. They are curious, resourceful, resilient and self-motivated.
They recognise an opportunity, set goals and use a range of strategies to succeed.

Actively Involved
Actively involved learners work collaboratively to contribute to and participate in the communities to which they belong. They are environmentally and
globally aware.

Our School Values
Appendix 1: Our School Values
       At Our Lady of the Assumption School the values of the New Zealand Curriculum are viewed through a “Catholic lens” and presented from a Catholic perspective. These
       values of Jesus Christ are expressed in Scripture and in living Catholic Tradition. The precept, “to love God above all things and one’s neighbour as oneself”,
       succinctly summarises the values of Jesus Christ. (3.1.4 Handbook for BOT, NZ Catholic Integrated Schools)
                                 “And now faith, hope and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.” - (1 Corinthians 13:13)

Batten Team Student Achievement Target 2021
Strategic Target in
Strengthening our Learning Community - We will raise achievement for all our learners to ensure their
success
Annual Aim:
To target students who need to make greater progress against their expected NZ Curriculum Level
Baseline data from
    ● In the Batten Team we are targeting students who are achieving below their expected curriculum
       level in maths. We have identified 8 students who would benefit from extra assistance. 2 (25%) are
       Year 5 students and 6 (75%) are Year 6 students. For the Year 6’s, this is evident from their end of
       year 2020 curriculum level, Hero Goals / Stage achieved and their AsTTle data. For Year 5’s, it
       only includes their end of year 2020 curriculum level and Hero Goals / Stage achieved. An AsTTle
       maths assessment is not done at their previous year level - Year 4.

Batten Team Target Group 1 in Mathematics:
Our target group is made up of 2 Year 5 students and 6 Year 6 students. 5 of these students are female
and 3 of them are male.
Target 1:
In maths, these students will move one or two stages through a curriculum level or on to the next
curriculum level by the end of the year (e.g. from early L2 to L2 or end of L2.)

Hillary Hub Student Achievement Target 2021
Strategic Target in Strengthening our Learning Community - We will raise achievement for all our
learners to ensure their success.
Annual Aim:
Target students who need to make accelerated progress against their expected NZ Curriculum Level
Baseline data
    ● In the Hillary Hub we have identified that ( 24%) of Year 8 students are working under the
       expected curriculum levels we would expect of a Year 8 student.

     ●   The identified students have received scores in AsTTle Writing and identified goals achieved in
         Hero (SMS) that are below or well below expected curriculum levels expected of Year 8 students.

Target Group in Writing - Hillary Hub

The target group is made up of six students. All of these students are in Year 8. Four of the identified
students are male. Three of the target students are female.

Target 1:
For the students to progress in writing across three specific aspects; ideas, vocab and sentence structure;
we want these students to move 2 sublevels in each area towards their expected curriculum level.

1. Target students will share their writing ideas via a plan before beginning writing
2. Students will be encouraged to use a wider vocab in order to engage an audience.
3. Through regular punctuation and grammar maintenance, target students’ sentence structure will show
varied lengths and beginnings, using basic, compound and complex sentences.

                Special Character Student Achievement Target 2021
Strategic Target in Special Character
Living our Faith - OLA students are engaged in a connected Catholic community with a social
conscience
Annual Aim: To focus on and strengthen one aspect of Catholic Special Character that needs further
development
Baseline information: In 2020 we completed an internal review; Dimension 1: Te Tutaki ki a te Karaiti –
Encounter with Christ. From this review in response to this question “How effectively does the school,
through its practices and communications, f acilitate encounter with Christ and spread the Good
News to both churched and unchurched members of the community?” it was found that we could do
more to assist new families to be supported and become part of our school community.
Target Group: Families new to Our Lady of the Assumption School
Target: To ensure that our families feel welcomed and are supported to become part of our school
community.
