SJS Community Survey
Kia ora,

This survey is to help our school localise & formulate the part of our curriculum that involves Science, Social Science, Health and parts of Technology & the Arts.  We want to identify the content and ideas that are both important for our students' future, as well as reflective of the interests, values and aspirations of our students, parents and wider community.

We still highly value Literacy & Maths of course, and these are certainly key parts of our local curriculum.  However this survey is purely to determine what is important for us to teach in the other areas of the New Zealand Curriculum, so our cross-curricular programme can sit alongside what we do in Literacy & Maths.  

Once we get your feedback we will embed our Special Character ensuring we have a Catholic worldview lens and tikanga Māori, values and practices woven into our unifying ideas.

Please consider the suggested ideas at the top of each box, and consider how important you feel it is for your child to learn about that while at our school.   Rate each idea using the 1-5 scale below:
