Unpacking our School Vision

A School Vision provides a collective direction and focus for all Stakeholders. Our current Stanley Avenue School Vision was created in 2019, by students, staff, families/whānau, and the community.

Stanley Avenue ‘Vision’

S- Supportive Community of Learners

A- Aspiring to be our best

S- Self-motivated achievers

Supportive Community of Learners: looks at the range of supportive communities within our context from classroom communities, syndicates, school, our Te Aroha Kāhui Ako, families/ whānau. These communities are all designed to support the Stanley Avenue learner.

Aspiring to be our best: focuses on high expectations and for school members to consistently put in our best effort in all areas of school life.

Self – motivated achievers identifies students taking increased responsibility for their learning, displaying initiative, and identifying their learning pathways.

Please see below the student voice from Room 13 about what our School Vision means to them.

Joseph Holder: ‘ Supporting everybody in the school to help them succeed.’

Fairlane Hughes: ‘Trying to take on new opportunities and be respectful.’

Chaya Kumar: ‘As soon as you enter the school gates, be motivated to learn.’

Thank you Tash Lenden and 'Girls Got Game' for donating basketballs, drink bottles and bags to our Y5-8 Girls Basketball teams.

WHAT IS GIRLS GOT GAME?

Girls Got Game is a fun and friendly basketball programme for primary and intermediate school age girls. Basketball is a fantastic sport for girls, helping to develop movement and thinking skills in a fun social team environment.

Our challenges are proving to be very popular with all ages. Lots of happy children are enjoying themselves at lunch time. A big thank to everyone who has donated games etc to add to the fun.

We have gone live on DirectGroup Uniforms with our new Sports Shirts that you are able to purchase. We feel moving forward this is a great option and will save a lot of time issuing and collecting sports shirts. At this time we still have our other sports shirts for anyone that is playing and has not purchased their own yet. Check them out at:

You can purchase the sport shirts and they arrive directly to your address and they even have Afterpay so that it makes it possible to budget. We are looking forward to seeing these appearing on our sports fields.

A Day at the Domain Te Aroha is an annual event, and aims to be an affordable day out for local families to enjoy. Admission is free, as is the entertainment from 10am till 2pm. We have free activities for the littlies, with affordable activities for the bigger kids. Plenty of food trucks, sausage sizzle, ice cream and coffee plus lots of local crafters with their makes.
