Creating a love of learning within a safe, caring, respectful, sustainable environment where individual excellence and diversity is valued.
The Goldfields Pillars of Learning describe the key elements of our school curriculum design.
- Our six Pillars of Learning are interdependent: Learning Areas (7 Areas from the NZ Curriculum and Tikanga Maori); Key Competencies; Learning Focuses: Multiple Intelligences and Blooms Taxonomy; Connectiveness; Building Positive Relationships; Values
- Annual curriculum reviews provide data on curriculum design and implementation and on the priorities which guide the visioning review process
- Children, staff and the wider community are familiar with our school vision. The vision statement is displayed around the school, and is evident in core school documentation.
- Our children are aware of the connections between our vision, the qualities for developing life long learners, and the Pillars of Learning, which underpin our school curriculum.
- Goldfields School is a community of life-long learners, who enthusiastically inquire persist, take risks, make connections, self – manage, reflect, communicate, and set goals.
The Goldfields School Pillars of Learning support our vision, and equip our children with the attitudes, skills and knowledge necessary to prepare them for a challenging future. They develop values that enable them to build healthy, positive relationships with others, solve problems, think flexibly, set and achieve goals, and work independently and cooperatively.
