OUR CURRICULUM
Wigram Primary – Te Piki Kāhu
At Wigram Primary School we focus on providing an enriching and dynamic learning environment at all levels.
Our collaborative learning space environment offers flexible spaces to learn with a number of teachers within each space. We aim to provide an engaging, balanced and meaningful curriculum that meets the needs of our learners and encourages and challenges them to exceed expectations.
All programmes in the school are underpinned by a strong foundation in Numeracy and Literacy.
The New Zealand Curriculum sets the policy and direction for curriculum delivery and allows schools the opportunity to design their own ‘local curriculum’ in collaboration and consultation with their community.
