Our Learning model represents a 3-legged stool.  If one of those legs is smaller than the other or is afforded more, or less time the stool will become unbalanced and topple over.   Our Designated Character is what sits on top of our lens all bound by a critical pedagogy of Whanau. 

Our learning model ensures that learning is negotiated, inquiry based, provides young people with the power to understand and challenge inequity.  It is expected that we all work together and once we know something, we have a responsibility to share it with others. All done in critical, culturally sustaining ways.

It is important that during this time we don’t forget what makes our school unique and special.  It is our intention to keep learning from our three lens. 

We need to work hard so that we do not revert to acting and thinking in colonial ways.  We need to ensure that we focus on all three of our learning lenses and don’t get caught thinking that the blue lens is the most important lens.
