Matters Arising
RESOLVED Alf/Mary
The board of trustees including the principal resolve that the National Standards are fundamentally flawed and our school has no confidence in them. Therefore, we will defer setting our achievement standards based on National Standards until these concerns are addressed. We will, however, continue to use reliable data to set high expectations for our children which reflects the intent of the New Zealand Curriculum and Te Matauranga.
