Welcome

As the new Principal of Ward School I look forward to seeing how our Tamariki continue to develop and grow as active learners and participants in our community. Our vision of Leading Our Learning – Whai Akoranga drives everyone to be on TRACK at Ward School. We want our learners to know that they can make a difference to what and how they learn, the choices they make, and the relationships they have with others and their environment. Our “On TRACK” school values of being Together, Respectful, Adaptable, Creative, and Kind are the foundation of how we think, act, behave and grow at Ward School. At Ward School we create opportunities for every learner to have success and feel inspired to lead their learning by using “On TRACK” values all the way to the SEA. We want our awesome students to be Self-managing, Engaged, Active learners who think critically and seek to make positive impacts in their current and future communities.

Student Led Conference Times

2 Sep 2026

Student Led Conference bookings are now live. On the app, select the bookings tab - select schedule - choose teacher - choose time.

Note: There can be up to 4 families booked in each session. We have allocated 1/2 an hour per session so children can share what they have been doing in each of reading, writing, maths and other curriculum areas. This equates to about 5 minutes per area plus introduction time for the teacher. If you have multiple children in the same class, please book separate times for each child.
