From
the Principal's Desk
Welcome
to Nelson Park School. We are a large contributing school (Years1-6)
situated in the sunny Hawkes Bay and near the centre of Napier city.
Our children come from a diverse community and this diversity is
a feature of the school. Our motto 'In All Things Seek the Highest'
sums up what we are about.
A
strong focus is delivering quality Numeracy and Literacy programmes,
empowering children to make positive lifestyle choices and being
confident with ICT.
Our
staff is dedicated to ensuring all children are happy and are learning.
We provide learning support across the school and this support is
giving children a boost in meeting and achieving their goals. Meeting
individual learning needs is something I am passionate about and
I am keen to introduce programmes that meet this goal in a school
culture that promotes a stimulating, challenging and reflective
environment.
The
future is bright for Nelson Park School. The following enhances
learning and therefore encourages pupils to reach their potential:
- The
Library is the 'Heart' of Nelson Park School.
- Integration
of ICT into classroom programmes including interactive whiteboards.
- Developing
Transition classes so children from pre-schools undergo a smooth
move to Nelson Park School.
- Creating
our own Curriculum based on the needs of our children.
- Strong
emphasis on Formative learning- empowering children to make learning
exciting.
- New
Numeracy programmes across the whole school.
- Use
of 'Cool Choices' pupil behaviour management programme including
introducing 'Virtues' education.
- Give
pupils opportunities and experiences outside the classroom.
We
have a committed and supportive Board of Trustees who are working
in partnership with the community and staff to ensure all children
'Seek the Highest' in all they do.
We
have an open door policy and welcome parents, community and potential
parents to see the neat things going on at Nelson Park School.
