Teacher Only Day Monday 24th April

On the 24th April (Day 1,Term 2) the Te Aroha Kāhui Ako will be coming together for a Teacher Only Day. The teacher-only day will provide schools with dedicated time to understand, prepare and engage with changes across The New Zealand Curriculum refresh, the redesign of Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, and shifts to strengthen NCEA. They are opportunities for teachers to share ideas and expertise, and to grow their confidence in implementing the upcoming curriculum. Please note that ANZAC Day (April 25th) is a public holiday. Term 2 will start proper on Wednesday 26th April.
