At the beginning of 2016, Waikōwhai Primary School officially launched a full 1:1 device based programme for all students in Years 5 & 6. Due to this success, we have extended the use of 1:1 Chromebooks in our Te Waka Ako and Te Ana Ako classes. Classes also have access to iPads to support their learning. Here at Waikōwhai, we have always pushed forward with the use of technology to underpin our learning.
At the beginning of each year, new parents of students in these classes are invited to join us at two meetings to share their views and gain an understanding of how the digital tools can potentially help accelerate learning. It is here that parents and students are asked to sign the Kawa of Care- the key agreement between the student, parent and school. It is a highly detailed document. More information can be found by clicking the above link or on the icon.

As part of our digital journey, Waikōwhai works with a network of other local schools within the Ako Hiko Cluster. This includes weekly facilitated support from a specialist teacher and much wider connections for both students and teachers. Waikōwhai Primary School is proud to be associated with Manaiakalani Schools, an internationally known cluster of schools that are at the forefront of digital technology.
