Open and positiveCONSULTATION STATEMENT – DEVELOPMENT OF CURRENT CHARTER
The children, whānau, community and staff of Berhampore School reviewed our charter vision, aims and values during 2017 and 2018. The consultation
included Māori and ESOL families through newsletters, talking walls, staff meetings, consultation meetings and parent discussion groups. This 2020 -
2022 version of the Charter incorporates the 2020 Board update but it is anticipated that a full review with community consultation will occur later in
2020 (approximately three years since the last consultation).
BERHAMPORE SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY
Berhampore is a Decile 7 U4 contributing state primary school and enjoys strong family and community support.
The children come from over 30 different ethnic and cultural groups. The largest groups in the school are New Zealand European, Pasifika, Māori and
Indian. Children from non-English speaking backgrounds make up about 40% of the roll. Many children also hold refugee status. The school is very
proud of the successful integration of such a diverse community and views this diversity as a key asset to learning.
Berhampore suburb is a mixture of high and low-income households with a high proportion of rental housing. There are many families on income
support benefits. Many Berhampore residents are new to New Zealand. They are learning, in many situations, a completely new way of life and
language.
The school offers inclusive education, Montessori Education and an intensive learning support programme. The learning support programme includes
programmes in Reading Recovery, Literacy Recovery, ESOL, Maths and learning disabilities.
Berhampore School joins with other schools in the area for children’s sporting and cultural events and teacher or principal support. We liaise with Early
Childhood education centres including Berhampore Kindergarten, the Park, the Cook Island Punanga, and four Montessori pre-schools. We also work
together with South Wellington Intermediate School, which is the intermediate school where most of our (non-Montessori) learners progress to after
completing Year 6.
Berhampore School encourages and supports partnerships with the community to provide opportunities for the children, their families and wider
community. Our partnerships include:
Pacific Primary Montessori Education Trust (PPMET) for supporting and promoting Montessori education.
Little Makos Swim School for pool management and school lessons.
