Strategic Goal/Aim 5. A strong Ako community built on equity and our cultural strengths
Community is central to the ako of young people. One of the key aims of education is to equip them to contribute to the communities in which we live, and a strong kura community facilitates their ako. Many people have commented that the ‘sense of community’ is a desired key feature of the kura, Our cohesive ako community supports the development of critical competencies such as managing self, relating to others, and participating and contributing, and provides a supportive environment in which academic competencies can more easily develop. We believe however that we need to continue to develop strong partnerships within our kura community, particularly between parents, whānau and pouako. We need to draw more creatively and productively on the diverse cultural and professional strengths & resources of our community. (NAG 7)
