Kia ora e te Whānau

Attached is an important letter outlining the changes to curriculum expectations, assessment, and reporting that are being introduced nationally by the Ministry of Education. 

I encourage you to take a few minutes to read the attached information. Our upcoming Progress & Pathway Meetings will also provide an opportunity to discuss your child's learning, celebrate their progress, and ask any questions you may have. Your child is encouraged to attend this hui with you.

I want to acknowledge our teachers and their commitment to upskilling as professionals and to supporting every child to make progress, experience success, and thrive as a learner.

Thank you to our whānau for your ongoing support as we continue to navigate these changes while maintaining the strong relationships, sense of belonging, and high-quality learning opportunities that are so important at Devon Intermediate School.
