Learning

At Papakowhai School we believe in child-centred learning.
  • Where learning is valued and enjoyed.
  • Where children are helped to grow from where they are at.
  • Where learning is success-oriented.
  • Where children are involved in their learning and a balance of academic, social, physical, cultural and creative activities are pursued within a supportive environment.
