Teina - Junior School

---

Our Junior Programme

We offer a fantastic transition to school at Broad Bay School. We have a close relationship with local Kindergartens and Early Childhood Centres to ensure we build on the skills developed in their early years. Our junior teacher has release time available to meet your child in their own learning setting.​​

• Small class sizes mean our tamariki get plenty of one on one teacher time.
• We utilise research like Assessment for Learning and The Science of Reading in our classroom practice to ensure our teaching is effective and evidence based.
• Our senior tamariki whakamana (empower) our junior tamariki while also building a tuakana-teina like relationship in our unique and engaging extracurricular programmes like Garden to Table.
• Creative, practical, and rich experiences everyday.
• The enrolment process can start anytime for any year group or age.
• Communication is key for us. Please let us know your child's needs.

School Visits

In the six weeks before your child turns five, they will be invited to join the junior class for visits from 9:00am until 10:45am on a mutually agreeable day. This will help your child to learn the school routine, build an understanding of expectations, and start to develop friendships. You are welcome to stay for a cup of tea in the staff room while they have their visit, and if they are comfortable, your child can stay on for morning tea from 10:45am - 11:15am to play with the other tamariki.
