Within School Teacher Inquiries

As we reflect on the academic year, we are thrilled to share the dedication and efforts of our Within School Teachers (WSTs). Throughout the year, our WSTs have been hard at work engaging in insightful inquiries aimed at promoting best teaching practices and fortifying the use of an inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning. We are delighted to announce that the inquiries focused on literacy or numeracy to support the strategic goals of our Kāhui Ako, are now complete. You can explore their findings and insights by visiting the link below. These inquiries serve as a testament to the Kāhui Ako's commitment to moving forward in faith together. Congratulations to each of our WST's on such a successful year.

As a Kāhui Ako, SECKA strives to empower our students to reach their full potential. A key component of this is fostering resilience, a quality that enhances academic performance and overall well-being.

We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who participated in the Student Resilience Survey. Your valuable insights have enabled our Kahui Ako to identify areas for growth and implement targeted initiatives.

A consistent trend has emerged from the past three years of data:

• Age-Related Decline: Resilience tends to decrease as students progress through their schooling.

• Gender Disparity: Girls generally exhibit lower levels of resilience compared to boys.

• Key Areas of Focus: Participation at school and problem-solving skills are areas where students could benefit from additional support.

By addressing these trends, we can equip our students with the tools they need to overcome challenges, persevere through setbacks, and thrive in all aspects of their lives.
