At Waimārama School, we feel best results occur when parents / whānau, students and teachers work together and support one another in a shared endeavour. The key to the success of this relationship is effective communication.
Our open door policy means that Parents / whānau are free at any time to make an appointment to meet with any of our team at a mutually convenient time.
From time to time, in a people oriented activity such as education, there will be concerns. When these occur, it is important that all parties involved work together to obtain a solution that is mutually acceptable and best for all concerned.
Our team is always happy to answer questions or queries via email or meet with you to discuss your concerns face to face, whenever possible.
We deliver written reports twice a year, mid-year and end of year.
General school wide and policy review updates are reported to parents through whānau hui and whānau pānui.
Reporting to the wider community is done through our community newsletter twice a term, after the first half of the term and after the second half of the term.
All digital copies of student achievement reports must be forwarded to the principal for filing in office shared folder, in one drive. Hard copies are filed in student portfolios.
Incident reports of a medium to major nature must be shared with whanau by the principal. See behaviour procedures in School Docs.
