My warm greetings to all parents and their young people considering
enrolment at Kowhai!
We believe that we have a clear idea of what you expect of us:
▪ To understand where your child is at right now in his/her personal
development and learning.
▪ To urge and encourage your child on from that point, growing his or
her skills and understandings academically, socially, creatively, in
service and in recreation.
At Kowhai we believe that all children have the capacity to learn.
That’s why our school motto is, We Learn. No Exceptions.
Our mission is to:
▪ Grow your children’s understandings and knowledge.
▪ Scaffold your child to his/her next stage of learning.
▪ Promote a ‘can do’ attitude so your child can excel and achieve their
goals.
▪ Develop resilience and adaptability in your child so he/she is willing
to take risks in learning and can face the future confidently.
▪ Extend gifted students to greater challenges.
▪ Equip all our children to take up their responsibilities as just,
caring and involved citizens.
It’s a big job, but we’re up to it!
I look forward to being involved with you through the exciting and
challenging middle school years!
Paul Douglas
