Introduction

The purpose of this charter is to establish the core values, goals and targets for Waiouru School. It identifies the Boards priorities and how it will give effect to the Governments

national education guidelines. Included within our charter are our annual student achievement targets, annual goals and strategic plan. Our Strategic Plan sets out the strategic
direction for our school . It is an expression of how we aspire to achieve our vision and charter. Our strategic plan is a living document, developed through consultation with all

members of the Waiouru School Learning Community (Parents, Whanau, Teachers, and Students) and as a result of information gathered from self-review and achievement

information. The Board of Trustees will create a school-wide culture of rigorous critical reflection and self-review which contributes effectively to developing our schools positive
performance and continued improvement.

Waiouru School General Description

Waiouru School is a state, co-educational full-primary school for pupils from Years Zero to Eight. The school is centrally located between Taihape and Ohakune, just off State
Highway One, in the North Island of New Zealand's central plateau. Waiouru township is the home of the New Zealand Army and is a major military training camp. Waiouru Military
Camp provides at least 90% employment for our community in both military and civilian roles. We are also fortunate to regularly welcome families of the military forces, from our
Pacific Island neighbours, for two year placements in Waiouru. This programme of exchange enriches our cultural environment and relationship with the New Zealand Army.

Support provided by the New Zealand Army has significant advantages for Waiouru School with a wide range of support facilities available to our students. These include
recreational facilities, sports fields, tennis and squash courts, gymnasium and indoor swimming pool.

Waiouru School is situated on Ruapehu Road in a modern building completed in 2011. The previous, now demolished, school buildings were over seventy years old and at their peak

housed over 1200 pupils. With the down-sizing of the Waiouru Military Camp and reduction in student numbers, it was deemed that the construction of a new building would be
more economical then the refurbishment of the old buildings.

Our school building is fully weather protected with a large covered Learning Street connecting six classrooms, student toilets and library. The bottom of the Learning Street
opens to a well equipped modern play area, with an excellent adventure playground and basketball court.

The top of the Learning Street opens to the gallery, with the

administration block, teacher resource room and staffroom at one end, with the large school hall, additional student toilets, and storage room at the other.

Classrooms are built in pairs with connected teacher withdrawal spaces, wet rooms, and computer spaces. Students have access to a plethora of modern ICT equipment, within a

secure wireless network, including desk top computers, Apple iPads and MacBook Airs. Construction of a large sand and water play area, and school vegetable garden are
scheduled to begin in 2015.

Community Consultation
In developing the charter for Waiouru School the board has consulted with the school community through/by:
Surveys targeting information about prevalent community values, attitudes and skills.
Providing the documentation of the charter/draft annual plan for parents.
Seeking comments and feedback.
Interviews and discussions with staff and students.

Community Consultation Results 2013 - 2014:

July 2014 - Reporting to Parents and General School Systems
August 2014 - Uniform consultation
September 2014 - Health Survey

Framework

The New Zealand Curriculum is a statement of official policy relating to teaching and learning. Our curriculum, based on this, places the students at the centre of the learning
process. It emphasizes the importance of literacy and numeracy, and a broad education across a range of learning areas.

Recognizing New Zealands Cultural Diversity

Waiouru School understands the importance of New Zealands cultural diversity and the unique position of Mori culture. The board demonstrates its understanding of New
Zealands cultural diversity through:

Reflecting the unique place of Mori within our policy documentation and curriculum statements.
Recognizing The Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of New Zealand.
The continuing development of policies and practices that reflect New Zealands cultural diversity.
Providing all students with experiences and understandings in cultural traditions, language and local history.
The development of a long term plan for the incorporation of Te Reo and Tikanga Mori through the use of the Ministry Mori Achievement Strategies, Ka Hikitia and
Ttaiako.

Higher Levels of Instruction in Te Reo Mori

The board will respond to any request for a higher level of instruction in Te Reo Mori by:
Advising the parent of the current level of Te Reo and Tikanga Maori available at the school.
Offering to explore possibilities for extending the current provision including:
Dual enrollment with The Correspondence School.

Provide Professional Development for teachers to enable them to deliver a higher level of instruction.
Consulting with another school able to provide a higher level of Te Reo and Tikanga Mori.

Advising parents where the nearest school is that provides a higher level of instruction in Te Reo and Tikanga Mori.

Rongomaraeroa-0-Ng-Hau-e-Wha - Our Relationship with the Army Marae

Waiouru School is very fortunate to share a strong relationship with the National Army Marae. Rongomaraeroa-o-ng-hau-e-wha is a multi-cultural marae for all members of the
Waiouru Community. Waiouru School values the marae as an extension of its learning community, and classrooms. It provides us with a basis for our sense of belonging to
Waiouru, it reminds us of our history and our membership with Ngati Tumatauenga. Waiouru School was able to cement this sense of belonging with our marae though our

contribution to the DIY Marae project at Rongomaraeroa-O-Ng-Hau-e-Wha in February 2015. This event was filmed and will be shown on Mori Television in late 2015. We
now have a permanent piece of art in the reflection garden.

Waiouru School holds its most important events at Rongomaraeroa-o-ng-hau-e-wha, including the end of year prize giving and termly welcomes for new students and families. We
often tautoko and participate in powhiri and poroporoake at the request of the marae staff.

Strategic Planning Section

Strategic Statement:
A strategic plan is a living part of Waiouru Schools charter. It is the working document that states the long-term aims and objectives of the school. It is to be reviewed each year

and amended as the need arises. The strategic plan forms, with the annual development plan, the working strategies of the school. It embodies the values and goals for the school
as outlined in the charter. This document will be reviewed each year to ensure Waiouru Schools vision is shared and on target.

Its aim is to provide the basis for outlining how we intend to:
deliver quality education to the students at Waiouru School
conduct robust self-review programmes and ensure staff are highly valued and competent.
manage school funds, resources, and property for the maximum benefit of all students.
ensure Waiouru School is a healthy and safe environment, as recommended by the NEGs, NAGs, and NEPs.

Strategic Guidance:
The New Zealand Curriculum (NZC) plays a crucial roll in the development of Waiouru Schools Strategic Plan. It is a clear statement of what we deem important in education, and
will be carefully considered and integrated into any strategic planning.

The Principles found in the NZC embody our beliefs about what is important and desirable in our schools curriculum. They should underpin all school decision making, which
includes strategic planning at a Board of Trustees level. Through out the strategic planning process our Board of Trustees will always take the following in to consideration.
High Expectations - Our school supports and empowers all students to learn and achieve personal excellence.
Community Engagement - Our school connects and engages with our Waiouru wide community.

Treaty of Waitangi - Our school acknowledges the Treaty of Waitangi and the bi-cultural foundations of Aotearoa. All children will be part of Mtauranga Mori.
Cultural Diversity - Our school will reflect and value New Zealands cultural diversity.
Inclusion - Our school insures that all students identities, languages, abilities and talents are regained and affirmed.
Coherence - Our school will offer a broad education that will open up pathways to further learning.

Future Focused - Our school will ensure that it looks to the future of education to prepare 21st Century Learners
Learning to Learn - Our school with encourage learners to use their voice and develop their own agency around their learning.

The NZC Key Competencies will be woven through curriculum strategic intent. The Key Competencies are: Thinking; Using Language, Symbols and Text; Managing Self; Relating
To Others; Participating and Contributing
