Welcome to Bayswater School
Supported by our vibrant family and community core,
decile 9, year 1-6 primary school has a dynamic approach
to growing its teaching and learning strengths.
Learning Pathways
Learning Pathways, Bayswater's method of curriculum
delivery, focuses on authentic, hands-on learning
designed by and with our creative pupils. We have been
proactive and innovative in the interpretation of the
revised New Zealand Curriculum. |
|
|
The result is a rigorous and
exciting learning programme where students
confidently share in discussing their learning,
what they can do, what they need to do next and
how they will progress to the next level.
We enjoy the support of many community groups
In this we enjoy the support of many community
groups: Bayswater Community Committee, North
Shore City Council, Sir Peter Blake Trust,
Tindall Foundation (Sir Peter Blake and Stephen
Tindall were both past pupils at Bayswater
School), The Auckland Regional Council,
Engineers in Schools, local artists and
specialist staff from both Belmont Intermediate
and Takapuna Grammar. We are proud that all our
students experience success through this form of
individualised learning.
