The Charter is at the heart of all we do at Hokowhitu School. It is developed by the Hokowhitu School Board, in consultation with the school community, and its purpose is to set our strategic goals for improving the outcomes for our students over the next three years and to lay out a plan for working towards those goals over the next year.
An important part of the Board’s governance responsibilities involves setting policies that describe how we expect the school to be run, in order to produce the best outcomes for our students and to fulfil our legal requirements. The application of these policies in the day-to-day running of the school is the responsibility of the principal, in accordance with the procedures and handbooks specified in each policy.
Hokowhitu School Board will ensure the school curriculum will comply with the New Zealand Curriculum and the National Education and Learning Priorities, and that the child is at the centre of its implementation, so all students are able to develop their knowledge, abilities, self-esteem, confidence and independence.
Hokowhitu School Board will ensure that effective, appropriate, and timely communication will occur between the school and families, whānau, and the wider school community in support of creating a positive learning environment.
Hokowhitu School Board will provide a safe physical and emotional environment for students and staff.
