Charter 2019-2021 - Lynmore Primary School
School Description

Lynmore School (Te Kura o Owhatiura) was established in 1956. It is a popular primary school in Rotorua catering for children from Year 0 -Year 6.
There is a school bus for children living at the Lake Okareka and Lake Tarawera but most children either walk or are driven to school each day. The
school has an enrolment zone, in 2018 the roll is predicted to range between 630–700.
Most children attend an early childhood centre before starting at Lynmore School and there are several in the area from which parents choose from.
When children leave Lynmore School at the end of year 6 children most attend the local intermediate (Mokoia). Lynmore is part of the Rotorua East
Community of Learners and has been proactive in being a pilot school for PACT from December 2014, this our main summative and formative
assessment tool for teachers and student. We are pleased to see the progress aspect of PaCT being further developed. Michael Absolum continues
to work with the Kāhui Ako as an expert partner. Work has commenced on a Kāhui Ako wide approach to local curriculum and the curriculum
mapping tool coherent pathways as a basis for Kāhui Ako wide graduate profile.
The whanau groups have enabled more opportunities for tuakana teina and student leadership was successful. 2019 will see a focus on developing
school leaders across the school with opportunities for achievement awards and house group leadership. The FISH Philosophy of interacting with
our community, students and colleagues has been adopted. PB4L will be central to much of our PLD for 2019 again and the school has also
employed a full time Kaiawhena to support Tikanga and Te Reo Maori across the school. Play based learning is being undertaken in Year 0-2 and
teachers are involved in inquiry around its development. The school continues to focus on Future Focussed Learning and is undergoing a local
curriculum redraft with thinking, creativity and science at the centre embedded in local contexts with the strong support of our local hapu Te Roro o
Te Rangi who as part of iwi partnering with Kāhui Ako initiative are running the Ōtauira programme and supporting the development of local
contexts.
Lynmore School has a range of property provision but there is currently not enough adequate quality classroom space available to students and
staff. 6 old prefabs were removed in late 2018 and an updated plan is underway although the pace of that work has been very slow this term. The
school has a school hall with mezzanine floor and multi purpose room, a heated swimming pool, an administration block, a library/resource centre,
purpose built gymnasium, BoT funded Cultural Centre for music and dance and a variety of outside storage areas. The school grounds are attractive
and well maintained. They include a native bush area called Waitawa bush which children can use for environmental studies and which also contains
a pump bike track. The school has a focus on health and sport, dance, swimming and cultural activities including waka ama.

              ➢   Dual enrolment with the correspondence school.
              ➢   Provide further opportunities through the child’s classroom activities through taped resources, computer programmes and resources etc.
