🚀 We're Here to Assist You
Queenspark School
At Queenspark Te Hua Manuka our aim is to provide the very best in learning opportunities for all children. “Stepping Up & Reaching Out” is our mission statement. This simply refers to our culture of encouraging children to do their best in all endeavours as they move through the learning steps.
We want our children to become powerful learners so that they are able to develop thinking skills, relationship skills within the context of a community, self-management skills, and physical well-being skills – all built on a foundation of numeracy and literacy skills. The values of being resolute, being respectful and being responsible are foundation values that we actively foster in our children. We call these our 3 R’s.
All international students are mainstreamed into their year level and they attend an English language support programme a couple of times a week either in pairs or one on one, depending on their English ability.
Our programme is innovative and exciting and we ensure the students learn in an educational and supportive classroom. Celebrating the wonderful different cultures we have within our school and learning to value these is part of our daily classroom programmes and our school life.

New Zealand Curriculum (NZC)
The NZC, or New Zealand Curriculum, is a framework used in New Zealand for teaching and learning in schools. It provides guidance for developing curriculum content and teaching methods across various subjects. The NZC emphasizes a holistic approach to education, focusing on key competencies, values, and a vision for young people as confident, relevant learners. Key features of the NZC include: 1. Key Competencies: Skills that students need to develop over their education, such as critical thinking, communication, and self-management. 2. Learning Areas: Different subjects, including English, mathematics, science, the arts, and more, with specific content and achievement objectives. 3. Values: Principles that underpin the curriculum, promoting respect, equity, and community engagement. 4. Cultural Context: The curriculum acknowledges and incorporates New Zealand’s diverse cultures, particularly the M?ori perspective and the significance of the Treaty of Waitangi. 5. Flexible Framework: Schools can tailor the curriculum to meet the needs of their students and their community while adhering to national standards. The NZC is designed to support educators in fostering engaging and meaningful learning experiences in various educational settings.
