The school we dream about sits heavily on a North East track. Intentionally balanced between explicit and implicit teaching. We believe in an authentic connected approach to our curriculum complemented by the creativity we believe all carry.
Excerpt From “Huapai – The School We Dream About”
We see our school as a loud school – with the noise of discovery, the energy generated from passion and the magic of students engaged in learning. We believe all we do in our school can be framed around people, pedagogy and seeing passion realised and released.
Excerpt From “Huapai – The School We Dream About”
Our Akonga walk tall, they have a thirst for knowledge, and ability to create their own learning opportunities and a belief they can affect positive change. When faced with challenges they reply “I am brave, I am determined and I can do this”.
Excerpt from “Huapai – Graduate Profile”
Our ideal Huapai student is a global citizen who strives for excellence in all endeavours. As the world opens before them, empowered by the mana they hold within, they stand strong, self-assured in purpose knowing who they are and their importance in the world.
Excerpt From “Huapai – The School We Dream About”
We see our school set ‘on the edge of possibility’. We see a front foot type of school, eager to push on and push into a future-focused agenda.
Excerpt From “Huapai – The School We Dream About”
We believe our ideal teacher is ‘the best version of themselves’. It’s not so much being a certain character type or teaching in a certain style. We believe our ideal teacher operates within their strengths, brings all they are to the table and owns it!
Excerpt From “Huapai – The School We Dream About”
We believe all people are endowed with seeds of greatness and place value on being strengths-based and future-focused, releasing the creativity we all carry.
