At the start of the day, Shirley and Rochelle made sure we were awake.We are introducing Jump Jam to our students and we needed to learn the routines too. These two dressed for the part; not so the rest of us. However no-one can question our dedication to the task. At our school it is about Attitude, Adventure and Achievement. We expect our children to find learning fun and an ongoing adventure. If we expect them to do it, we expect to model it. I focused the filming on our leaders in the activity and was very glad I was behind the camera. I'm sure the neighbours wondered what was going on: Jump Jam in the mornings and then we were all singing very loudly to the karaoke version of the movie Mamma Mia on one of the evenings. Sad but true.Life is never boring when the West Spreydon School Team is around.

Welcome back to a new year in our lovely kura. Our goal is to be a locally based school that partners with and is supported by our local community. Everyone who knows us and the last 2 decades of the school's history remarks on the exceptional local community who are a central point for our development and growth. The community is changing in terms of housing and we are now part of the intensive housing projects that have developed across Christchurch City since 2011. We thrive on our close relationships with whanau and local organisations who want to be a part of our journey as a school. Generosity is the key word that we see in action every day to make life better for our tamariki. We do have high expectations for learning and behaviour. Our achievement data over the past few years has been amazing and this is a direct reflection on the relentless work of our kaiako to deliver great teaching programmes every day. Our teachers work closely together and they cross check planning and data. That's why we made it to the Gazette in 2024. We are child development/attachment based and our staff is well trained in how children's brains develop and how we can build amazing relationships with the children in our care. There's a lot of laughter and fun in the classrooms (and in our office with The Fab Five) every day . Please make a point of stopping for great coffee on Friday mornings and take the time to connect with other parents. Haere mai. Welcome to our little corner of paradise
