At Taupaki, we value all subject areas but ensure that literacy and numeracy are integrated throughout our learning experiences. We strive to ensure that each child leaves the school reading at or above their chronological age, and with mathematical skills that will enable them to have choice in their future education.  We aim for one hour a day of learning and instruction in each of the key areas of reading, writing and maths, most of this is explicit teaching in this subject area but it can also look like integration into our other subject areas. eg - elements of mathematics in a science lesson and literacy in a history lesson. 

Our other curriculum areas are designed into a two year overview to ensure we cover the curriculum and that knowledge is progressive and cumulative as students move through the years.

We are  committed to delivering strong Health and PE programmes based on our consultation with the community every 2 years - the well-being of our students and staff is an integral part of our planning and programmes.
