"Our vision is to put ambition and achievement at the very heart of the education system, so that it is aspirational, equitable, and deeply inspiring — where lifelong learning is a journey, and every student is empowered to fulfil their unique potential. Our schools and kura will educate the innovators, carers, and leaders of tomorrow, fostering knowledge, responsibility, creativity, compassion, and curiosity. Education will be a source of enjoyment and purpose, embracing diversity and ensuring that every student — regardless of background — is supported to thrive. Together, we will build a future where learning is not just preparation for life but a vital part of living well."

NZ Curriculum 

At Rūnanga School, we are excited to share updates about Te Mātaiaho, the refreshed New Zealand Curriculum. As a public mainstream school, we are guided by this national curriculum, which is being refreshed and re-launched in a systematic and gradual manner. Te Mātaiaho is designed to prepare learners for the future while honouring the unique cultural heritage of Aotearoa, and will continue the same eight learning areas as in the existing 2007 Curriculum. At Rūnanga School, we are committed to building teacher knowledge and capabilities in the new curriculum, and will continue to communicate changes and new approaches with our community to ensure a shared understanding of Te Mātaiaho. This page provides parents and whānau with key information to help you understand the changes and stay informed.
