Welcome to Manurewa West Primary School and our new school website.
At Manurewa West we recognise that choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make. This website provides a place where you can access information about our school and where we can communicate with you. We want to provide an informative background, so that prospective and current parents can have a communication portal and a place to celebrate our school – a school of choice.
We aim to develop a school community of life long learners who are independent and motivated to succeed in achieving their goals. Learners are encouraged to develop their talents and strengths across all areas of the curriculum through the use of enquiry learning, thinking and questioning skills, technology and an unwavering commitment to building strong skills in literacy and numeracy. Our students will learn the skills and competencies required to be successful in their pursuits.
As a team of learners, our staff are committed to the concept of life long learning and we have a strong professional development programme to support the notion “If you want quality learning, you must first have effective teachers”. Professional development is the key to that becoming a reality.
We know Manurewa West is a very successful school, and we’re not the only ones judging by the results of a recent Parent Survey where we asked our parents what they considered to be our school’s strength. We received and appreciated many acknowledgements concerning our effective teaching and learning applications, however the comment “Manurewa West Primary School is a very safe and happy school” polled highest. This obviously recognises the very high education standards, firm expectations of learning behaviour and zero tolerance to bullying which our school has built its positive reputation on.
I look forward to meeting both you and your child in the near future.
Regards,
David Wallis
