Charter and Strategic Goals
2019 - 2021
School Profile
Hanmer Springs School is a full primary school in North Canterbury catering for school Years 1 to 8. Our school roll is 90
(February 2019). The school is Decile 9. Hanmer Springs School children come from the Hanmer Springs village and
surrounding basin. There is one bus route. The resident population in Hanmer Springs is approximately 900 and this changes
rapidly in weekends and holidays. The school celebrated its Centenary in 1996. Current total staffing entitlement is
Hanmer Springs is a tourist resort that has a pleasant physical environment with a feeling of peace and tranquility in an alpine
atmosphere. The Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools is the hub of the tourist trade, many sporting and adventure activities are
available – tramping, jet boating, bungy jumping, rafting and mountain biking being popular.
The school enjoys a good relationship with the Thermal Pools which actively supports school activities by allowing free access
to their pools for sporting and cultural events held in Hanmer Springs as well as maintaining the on site school pool. Local
businesses and service organisations also work closely with Hanmer Springs School supporting our integrated curriculum
programme.
Hanmer Springs School is part of the Hurunui Zone, a collection of 9 schools in the Hurunui district. These schools work together to
run zone sports events. Links with other local schools are also used to share professional development opportunities and develop
new initiatives. Hanmer Springs School is part of a Learning Community Cluster and will transfer to the Community of Learning.
The school is set in attractive rural grounds, with a large grassed area bordered by trees; a modern adventure playground and
sealed areas including a tennis court. The outdoor pool operates over the summer months.
Teachers and children teach and learn collaboratively within flexible learning spaces. Two modern learning environment spaces
have recently been opened. A new space was built which accommodates up to 60 children with 2 teachers and support staff and
another space was refurbished which accommodates the New Entrant - Y2 children, 2 teachers and support staff. A library/learning
hub is planned for development in the near future along with modernisation and improvements of remaining school classrooms.
The school roll has been experiencing a period of roll fluctuation.
The school is a focus of the local, rural community and good use is made of the local environment and community to extend
students' learning experiences.
Recognising Cultural Diversity
Hanmer Springs School, in a way that is appropriate to its community, will develop procedures and practices that reflect New
Zealand's cultural diversity, The Treaty of Waitangi and the unique place of Te Reo and Tikanga Māori.
In recognising the unique position of Māori culture, Hanmer Springs School will take all reasonable steps to implement the
principles of Ka Hikitia and Tātaiako through Tikanga and Te Reo.
Hanmer Springs School is committed to acknowledging and celebrating the diverse backgrounds and cultures of families and
providing learning experiences in Te Reo and Tikanga and recognising the cultural history of Hanmer Springs.
This is being achieved by:
1. Involvement in Te Ao Māori Cultural Responsiveness as a cluster of schools across the Hurunui District.
2. Extending Te Reo and Tikanga Māori programmes in classrooms.
3. Developing the Kapa Haka group.
4. Establishing practices to which embed respect of others through 'The Hanmer Way' and school values.
5. Ensuring the school curriculum reflects our unique environment and community.
6. Incorporating Te Reo and Tikanga into formal events.7. Using outside support to develop Māori learning experiences such as the Māori technology outreach programme
and Kahurangi Māori dance group.
8. Having bilingual signs at school.
9. Holding regular Cultural Celebrations
10. Monitoring, analysing and reporting achievement data of Māori students in key target areas.
11. Consulting with Māori parents and caregivers through learning conferences, learning journeys and group meetings to
discuss Māori achievement, plans and programmes.
Māori Responsiveness Plan
If whānau request a higher level of Tikanga and/or Te Reo than is presently evident in our school's work towards achieving the
principles of Ka Hikitia, the staff and family will discuss and explore the following options:
1. Further explain the existing programmes and progress.
2. Further extend existing programmes and opportunities as appropriate.
3. Explore other schools who may offer programmes closer to expectations.STRATEGIC PLAN 2018 - 2020
