Mission Statement
Waihi College supports students on their life long journey to develop the knowledge, skills and characteristics that form the foundation of success today and in the future. Cornerstone to the success of our students is the strength of relationships formed between the school, whānau and community which support each student to reach excellence in their chosen field of endeavour.
School Charter
The school charter is a key planning document that sets out Waihi Colleges objectives and targets. It guides teaching and learning programmes, and the activities of the school.
Our Vision
Our continuing challenge is to master the art of blending the old with the new that sees the transformation of our teaching and learning environments and programmes to better meet the needs of our 21st Century learners.
Our students will construct their learning with our support, using transferable skills to solve problems using critical thinking strategies, working both collaboratively and independently, to become confident effective communicators, as they pursue their goals of achieving excellence, while remaining loyal to the values our school is built on.
Our school will commit to an on-going programme of self-reflection and review that pursues improvement in all that we do. Central to this improvement will be the professional learning of our staff as they challenge themselves to be passionate educators committed to the success of our students.
The success our students achieve will be forged on strong relationships between themselves, our school, whānau, and the community as we contribute to meeting each student’s personalised learning plan.
Our school welcomes diversity and will provide opportunities for all learners to learn and achieve in an inclusive and supportive environment. We acknowledge that our vision cannot be achieved alone and we will be actively seeking the support of parents, families, whānau and the wider community.
