Welcome

Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa
Nga mihi nui ki a koutou katoa.

Warm greetings.

It’s a privilege to be Principal of Selwyn Ridge where we all ‘Soar High - Kia Hokahoka Kahurangi!’

Striving to be the best we can be and growing the mind - whakaaro, heart - manawa, and toolbox - kete is what we’re about. We provide a rich school curriculum that is holistic and strengths based. Key focus questions at Selwyn Ridge are ‘What is powerful learning?’ And ‘What is it powerful to learn?’ Practices are aligned so that support for the best possible teaching and learning is linked to our school vision.

We have a talented team of teaching and support staff who work together to create the best possible teaching and learning opportunities for our children. With a school culture built around our strong school values and demonstrated in the many exciting things that happen around our school.

We look forward to working in partnership with our Selwyn Ridge whanau.

Attendance

We are committed to ensuring every ākonga is present, engaged, and thriving. Regular attendance is essential for wellbeing, achievement, and equity. As a kura grounded in the values of whanaungatanga and manaakitanga, we work with whānau and agencies to uphold our duty of care and ensure every learner can succeed.

Our Attendance Management Plan outlines how Selwyn Ridge School supports regular and consistent student attendance. It aligns with the Education and Training Act 2020 and incorporates the Ministry of Education’s Stepped Attendance Response (STAR) framework to ensure early identification, consistent response, and shared responsibility for attendance issues.
