From the principal Kia ora koutou katoa Welcome to Whitney Street School. We are very proud of our school and it’s place in our community and work hard to fulfil our vision of helping ‘Young People Who Make a Positive Difference’. This applies to their curriculum learning, the values they develop and the quality of their relationships with others. Programmes at our school focus on the learner as an individual and we strive to help each child work to potential. Our class grouping allows for shared planning between teachers and strong collegial support is a feature of our school. Our school reflects a good cross section of our wider community with a number of cultural groups being represented on our roll. Our spacious, tree filled grounds offers a magnificent play environment and opportunities for sport and recreation. Our refurbished classrooms provide stimulating learning environments for our students. Parents of prospective students are welcome to call and visit or request further information about the school and it’s programmes. Alan Straker Principal |
