Welcome to Bayswater School Supported by our vibrant family and community
core, our 180 student, decile 9, year 1-6 primary school
has a dynamic approach to growing its teaching and
learning strenghts.
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. While all students
experience success through this form of individualised
learning, it has proved especially relevant for boys.
