Kia ora koutou, I am pleased to take on the role of Senior Academic Advisor for 2025. This is a role I am returning to after previously holding the role from 2017-2022. I have always been and remain passionate about our students' academic success and their pathways here and beyond their time at Tarawera High School. I believe in our students' ability to be successful in whichever pathway they choose with the correct support and guidance. I am focused on ensuring our tamariki are in the correct classes and are focused on their learning to get the credits and results they are capable of. The start of the year has been full on always with a focus on timetables, meeting with students with gaps in timetables or who have new goals and ambitions after returning from the holidays. This is important to ensure students are in the correct classes for their goals and where they have the best chance to reach academic success. I have been working with Mr Sheaff at the early academic tracking of students who were close to passing in 2024 and looking at individual plans for them. We have also been in the early stages of beginning our literacy and numeracy PLD mahi with Evaluation Associates. I look forward to setting challenging goals with our students and their whānau and celebrating their successes at the end of the academic year.
