Owairaka rocks!

Have you seen our rocks? Each person in each class has painted a river stone with a clever design. Room sixteen's painted rocks are below. Then all the rocks have been layed in concrete to create a cool new pathway. Come and check it out!

We want to hear your thoughts!

Please complete this quick questionnaire about learning with digital technologies.

Background: Owairaka has been on a journey of incorporating digital resources into a range of teaching approaches.  We aim for a blended environment where staff and students have the option to choose the best resources for the learning at the time, whether it is digital or otherwise.  

Ako Hiko: Is a cluster of eight schools who work together to create equity, raise achievement and offer opportunities to all our learners. The basis of the learning is the Learn, Create and Share learning model.

Research: The Woolf Fisher Trust, a research arm of the University of Auckland, send out these annual questionnaires to give feedback to the cluster about how the digital environment helps to learn.  Woolf Fisher collects data from Year 4-6 parents as some of the other cluster schools have digital devices for all ages. The feedback we get from this survey will be specific to Owairaka as well as from the whole cluster.

We would appreciate if you could do this quick survey by Friday 24th May.
