Glenavon Heroes Role-Model Mentoring Programme
The children at Glenavon are encouraged to choose a Hero. This could be a member of their whanau/family or someone they know and would aspire to be like. We encourage our families to bring their Heroes to Glenavon as special guests to participate in our events or be a part of our special activities. We also invite prefects from Glenavon School, who continue to motivate and mentor our young learners in realistic and inspirational ways.
Te Whaariki curriculum
Our Early Childhood Programme is based on Te Whāriki, the Ministry of Education’s early childhood curriculum policy statement. It is a framework that emphasises the learning partnership between kaiako (teachers), parents, and whānau/families.
Teachers weave the principles and strands of the curriculum into their practice. A special emphasis is placed on preparing children to school and life-long learning.
Glenavon ICT programme
ICT is integrated into the Centre programme in meaningful ways. A whanau computer hub, on-line portfolios and access to ICT devices for children’s play and learning are integral part of the programme.
