Our shared vision
At Marfell Community School, we provide a quality education that raises the achievement of the whole child. Open, honest communication is the cornerstone of all relationships. We all work together with trust, honesty and integrity to build powerful relationships based on respect for differences and inclusiveness for all.
Cultural awareness of all those involved will assist in collaborative relationships. Parents, family and whanau are the first partners in the learning journey of each child, and realise it is important to prioritise their children, their learning and schooling. We welcome opportunities to tap into the strengths and talents of the parents, family and whanau. We will ensure that our events and activities engage and bring all groups together.
Raising the achievement and the well-being of the whole child is our purpose and commitment to our tamariki. We believe in a growth mindset that encourages self belief, that ignites interests and passions and drives individual ambitions. MANA is the foundation to what we see, hear and feel. Our MANA programme will have everyone involved, guaranteeing it is consistently implemented and supported by all.
Leadership will take us in the desired direction and drive the vision through aligned action. We are all supportive, warm, genuine and caring, and practice an open door policy. Staff have access to high quality professional development. They are up to date with innovative practices, technologies and current research.
Marfell Community School welcomes our community, as their school of choice. The future is not a place we are going to but a place that we have created. It is the collaborative vision of all.
