Our Values

At Our Lady of the Assumption School, we have 4 key Values which guide your child(ren) throughout their school journey from Year 0 – Year 8. These Values are ….

Respect

Whakaute

Responsiblity

Haepapa

Life long learning

Akoranga

Faith

Whakapono

Our children work at different stages within these values… they start off with being a ‘Seed’, then progress on to the ‘Seedling’ stage, before moving on to being a ‘Sapling’ then ultimately becoming a ‘Tree’. In addition to these values underpinning everything we do, one value is specifically focussed on each term.

Principal News

Guided by the example of Mary, Jesus’ mother, whose life of faith, courage, humility, and service inspires all that we do, Our Lady of the Assumption School is a place where faith and learning flourish.

At our kura, we are proud to support our students to grow strong in Faith, Ako, and Aroha. This motto shapes both our learning and the way we live together each day.

Conceptual Curriculum

Our Lady of the Assumption Conceptual Curriculum is structured around four overarching conceptual understandings across the school. There is one conceptual understanding per year over a 4-year rotation.

Teachers design learning opportunities around each year’s concept so that students strengthen and deepen their understanding of the concept by learning through at least three contexts. By learning through more than one context, students can transfer their ideas and understandings across contexts. Programmes are designed with the learning areas being integrated where there are authentic connections.

2026 Conceptual Curriculum Focus –

Relationships have Connections and Consequences.
