Cultural Responsiveness

Did you know?

When learning celebrates (and allows students to draw from) their culture, identity and background, their sense of well-being and belonging increases, and so does their overall achievement. Curriculum, classrooms and wider school environments should acknowledge and celebrate all of the cultures present in that community.

“Waiho nga tatau o taku whare kia tuwhera mo te hunga e haere ana i te huarahi e kaingia ana e te namu”  - (Leave the doors of my house open for travellers on the path who have been ravaged by the mosquito).
