Community Engagement

One of the 'next steps' we've identified from the lastest cluster survey is the need to engage our communities in the shift that's occuring in education - especially in regards to elearning.

This presentation by Regan Orr, the Principal at Kopataroa School near Levin, is a great example of one way to engage with our parents and caregivers about the changes that are occuring to teaching and learning. Regan was really pleased with the positive response he had from his community, both during and after the evening's presentation. He has also said he's happy to be contacted for further comment. You can visit his professional blog here.

How we decide to engage with our communities will vary across the cluster but it's great to see how one school is approaching this important aspect of leading change in it's school.
