Kiwi Connection - Ritimana
Kiwi Connection includes The Village (Y0-3) and The Hub (Y4-6) and the teaching delivery is in English.
We have a diverse range of students and families in our English-medium area of the school and therefore plan to address the cultural and language needs of all our students. We integrate Te Reo Māori as part of our committment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and being part of the wider Aotearoa community.
In Zone students are welcome to enrol any time.
Out of zone enrolments are limited, opening and closing each year around September.

Our Goal: To create a learning environment for our tamariki to succeed in accessing the New Zealand Curriculum. Where our School Values are evident in the actions we take daily as we "Grow Together As One". Communication between Home and School:
There are regular Richmond Road School Newsletters which have important dates and interesting stories about what our tamariki are doing across our kura. Other notices will be sent through text or email as needed by the classroom teacher. Keep an eye open for notices on our website as well. |
Family Particicpation and Contribution: As a parent can participate by:
Wider School Community Events:
The students across the kura learn to appreciate, understand and work together as one in wider school activities such as; Powhiri, Year 5 and 6 Camp, Education Outside the Classroom, Sports Events, Market Days, Open Evenings, Tuakana-Teina initiatives, School Production and celebrations of our Heritage Languages. |
Distance Learning:
If there is a lockdown during the school term and we need to switch levels quickly, your child may not be able to attend school. Here are some helpful links to support your child over the first two days. The school will be in touch within 48 hours to inform the community of how we will proceed given the current alert levels.
