The Taieri Plain is a clearly defined geographical area which has a proud tradition
of sturdy independence and a commitment to its unique mix of town and country.
It is a community which is willing to embrace change and has looked to diversify
and grow to meet the evolving needs of the markets for its products. It has warmly
embraced the technical and scientific world in its desire to maximise its production
yet has retained its sense of cohesiveness and of family values.

Families of the Taieri Plain choose Taieri College to educate their young people.
They want:
     a co-educational seamless school
     a safe, supportive environment
     broad-based balanced education
     strong community links
     an education that will equip their young people for the 21st Century
     credentials that will give students from the school the personal resources to
      fulfil their goals.

At the same time the community wants its young people to be nurtured and cared
for by staff with values similar to their own. They look to the college to help them
teach their young about respect and caring for others, about being honest and
trustworthy and to learn about hard work and commitment and the benefits and
rewards these can bring.

ANNUAL PLAN GOALS FOR 2019

The Board of Trustees has identified the following annual plan goals for 2019:

Goal 1
Raising Maori student achievement and strength of identity. Waiata will be
mandatory at the beginning of every school assembly. We will continue to
develop the Maori mentoring and Tier 2 tracking programme to enhance the
academic achievement of Maori students. Our specific academic goal is for 75%
of Maori students at Year 11 attain Level 1 NCEA in 2019.

Goal 2
Enhancing NCEA achievement. Our college-wide goal is for 85% of all Year 12
students attaining Level 2 NCEA in 2019.

Goal 3
Tracking of Year 7-10 achievement. Curriculum areas will make an early
identification of students who are at risk of not achieving (Tier 2 students) at the
Curriculum level recommended by the Ministry of Education and will develop and
employ strategies to accelerate the learning of the targeted students

    Year 7–8 Writing: All students identified as operating 'below' the desired
     Curriculum level of learning should move at least two subsets in their writing
     ability.
    Year 9–10 Science: Tier 2 students will be identified using assessment of their
     Science capability. Their learning progression will be tracked and half of
     identified Tier 2 students will graduate into Tier 1 during the course of the year.
    Year 9-10 English: Tier 2 students will be identified using assessment of their
     Writing capability. Their learning progression will be tracked and half of
     identified Tier 2 students will graduate into Tier 1 during the course of the year.

Goal 4
Restorative strategies will be implemented as part of our college-wide behaviour
management practice in the classroom. Recognition of the importance of student
well-being will be supported by staff.

Goal 5
We will work with Myth to develop a new platform for our college website.

Goal 6
Our Professional Learning and Performance Appraisal (PLPA) programme will be
administered via Arinui school-wide appraisal tool.

Goal 3
Tracking of Year 7-10 achievement. Curriculum Areas will make an early identification of students who are at risk of not achieving
(Tier 2 students) at the Curriculum level recommended by the Ministry of Education and will develop and employ strategies to
accelerate the learning of the targeted students

    Year 7–8 Writing: All students identified as operating 'below' the desired Curriculum level of learning should move at least two subsets in their writing
     ability.
    Year 9–10 Science: Tier 2 students will be identified using assessment of their Science capability. Their learning progression will be tracked and half of
     identified Tier 2 students will graduate into Tier 1 during the course of the year.
    Year 9-10 English: Tier 2 students will be identified using assessment of their Writing capability. Their learning progression will be tracked and half of
     identified Tier 2 students will graduate into Tier 1 during the course of the year.

Background
Early identification of students at risk of not achieving is essential in developing programmes and implementing appropriate
interventions to ensure success for all students

In regards to Maori strength of identity, we have continued to make significant
gains with the ongoing development of the Maori-Pasifika Council.
  Our Kapa Haka group represents Taieri College with distinction at Hautonga
     and the Polyfest .
  The Kapa Haka group also provides mihi whakatau at our Junior and Senior
     Prizegivings.
  Our Year 10 Maori students visited Waitangi in December.
  Kapa Haka numbers are strong.

All of these initiatives have certainly had a positive effect on Maori strength and
identity.

GOAL 3
 Tracking of Year 7-10 achievement. Curriculum Areas will make an
 early identification of students who are at risk of not achieving at the
 Curriculum level recommended by the Ministry of Education and
 develop and employ strategies to improve their achievement.

 •   Year 7–8 writing: All students identified as operating 'below' the desired
     Curriculum level of learning should move at least two subsets in their writing
     ability.
    Year 9–10: Curriculum Areas will identify individual students operating 'below'
     the desired Curriculum level and accelerate progress to aid their
     achievement. Evidence of student progress will be specific to each
     Curriculum Area.

Result :     Success
