Tawa Intermediate School School Charter 2015 - 2018
Charter 2015 – 2018
Mission Statement
A community of confident, connected, actively involved, lifelong learners.
Confidence as a learner comes through self-knowledge - knowing your strengths and weaknesses
and understanding how you behave in a variety of circumstances. Behaviour learning and leadership
development are both along this continuum. Confident learners know how to manage self.
(Key Competency: Managing Self)
Connected learners are those who use their self-knowledge to build effective relationships.
Connections are local, national and global using communication that can be face to face, in groups
and on-line. Connected learners know how to relate to others.
(Key competency: relating to others)
Actively involved learners participate in and contribute to a wide range of pursuits.
(Key competency: participating and contributing)
Life-long learners are competent at using language, symbols and texts in everyday life. They use a
wide range of thinking strategies. (Key Competency: Using language, symbols and text and thinking)
Vision Statement
Engage! Grow! Inspire!

6 Tawa Intermediate School Charter 2015 - 2018Writing Student Achievement Target: Action Plan 2017
Charter Goals 1 & 2: Target Area:
Engage and Grow Writing
Annual Target: Student Group:
By the end of the year, three identified students from each class, (51 across the school) who are below in writing will Students who are below standard in
achieve their individual targets, accelerating them to be at or above the National Standards expectations. A focus will be writing. A focus will be on Māori and
on Māori and Pasifika boys and girls. Pasifika boys and girls.
Historical Position:
From close examination of the 2016 national standards data in writing we noted the following:
39% Māori Boys (n=11) 31% Māori Girls (n=8) 28% Pasifika Boys (n=5) 26% Pasifika Girls (n=5) 25% NZE Boys (n= 14)
Therefore, Year 8 boys are our target cohort for 2017. For the past two years the staff have engaged in Professional Development with Murray Gadd. The focus was on
improving the quality of the teaching of writing, therefore raising the achievement of students. During this time the school employed a lead teacher of Writing to help imbed
the two years of professional development within the school. This will continue in 2017. The target student approach will also focus on teacher inquiry as teachers
inquire into what best practice will meet the needs of the students. The major teaching focus for this year will be the transference of skills from instructional lessons to
independent writing.

endanger of becoming below in mathematics will achieve their individual targets, accelerating them to be at or above maths. A focus will be on those identified .to
the National Standards expectations. be below as year 7’s in 2016
Historical Position:
From close examination of the 2016 national standards data in maths
19% of our year 7 students were below the NS.When further broken down by ethnicity we found this group was made up of
28% (n = 8) Maori Males, 19.2% (n = 5) Maori Females
27.8% (n = 5) Pasifika Males 31.6% (n = 6) Pasifika Females
14% (n = 8) NZ European Males 23.2% (n= 13) NZ European Females
Our school data also tells us that amongst our 2016 Year 8 cohort there was a 4% decrease in students that were in the at or above National Standards band for
Maori. This was further evidenced by the PAT data which showed only 38% of our year 8’s made the expected 5.6 pat maths shift. To ensure this does not occur in 2017
we will target the Year students in the below band as described above as well as any student identified by the teachers of slipping from At to below.
Maths will also be the curriculum professional development focus for 2017
The target student approach will follow a teacher inquiry cycle based upon ALIM (Accelerated learning in Mathematics) strategies.Our past experience of professional
inquiry suggests that teachers will generalise any practices found to be effective with the three target children across all students in their class.
