High-Quality
​​LEARNING

West Gore is an innovative primary school, providing high-quality learning within a safe, engaging and caring environment.

Our learning programmes allow us to best meet the needs of every learner. We believe that children learn best when provided opportunities to learn through their own passions and strengths. We value student voice and provide many opportunities for children to make choices in their learning. We also have a range of digital tools that we integrate throughout the school to enhance learning.

Our community and whānau take an important role and are encouraged to walk alongside the teaching staff through their child’s schooling.

As a Positive Behaviour for Learning School, we use restorative practices to strengthen relationships and create positive learning environments to support our students. Our strong leadership and experienced teaching team are further supported by Life Education, a Gifted and Talented Specialist, Sports Activator and many other initiatives to ensure a balanced curriculum for all.
