Kōtare Class - Year 6, 7 & 8 

Kōtare classroom is made up of 27 lively students of varying ages and ethnicities, who enjoy the congenial atmosphere and have respect for the work ethic that is encouraged. Having Years 6 – 8 in one room allows for mentoring and supporting of younger students by the older ones in a tuakana – teina relationship. This term we are focusing on the theme of God is All Powerful. We are so blessed to have such a powerful, all knowing God who personally loves each of us. It is because we know we are in His hands that we are able to take steps of faith and try new things. The core curriculum subjects relate to the theme, and learning for this term is around taking care of God’s land and its resources. In Kōtare, the seeds are being sown for future success: academically, spiritually and socially.
