Poroutawhao Learning Highway

Our school curriculum is best represented in the Poroutawhao School Learning Highway design. This design encapsulates our local geography from which our school name of Poroutawhao, (the edge of the bush), is derived. It shows our students engaging in an eight year journey to develop attitudes, knowledge and skills to be lifelong learners. This is represented in the bus journey along the highway.

At the core of our curriculum are Literacy, Numeracy and Inquiry Skills which form the centre line of our highway in the design. These are supported by the integration of our local school values and the NZ Curriculum Key Competencies that sit at the side of the highway in our design.
