Our Vision
Equipping young people for life
In partnership with whānau, Wilson School will provide personalised Specialist Education to support students to meet their full potential in all areas of life.
We aim to achieve this through the values of:
Whanaungatanga (relationships and connections):
A learner whose sense of belonging and connectedness enables them to cultivate positive relationships through communication and actions
Rangitiratanga (Self management):
A learner who is confident in their identity, has developed their independence to reach their full potential
Kaitiakitanga (Guardianship and respect):
A learner who is respectful of self, others and the environment and actively contributes to society to the best of their ability
We aim to:
- Provide a safe, nurturing, and inclusive community
- Uphold a culturally active environment for our diverse population
- Foster courage, independence, and resilience
- Recognise every student as a learner
- Ensure all students are provided with a personalised learning pathway, documented by an IEP / Transition Plan, which is set collaboratively with whanau
- Ensure all students are supported to communicate effectively
- Embrace digital technologies to support learning and communication
