Hui and Fono - 24 June @ 6:30pm in school hall

The Hui and the Fono meeting is held every year for the parents of our Māori and Pacific Island children. 

At this meeting we share the plans and actions we have taken in the previous year, the goals for 2021 and then ask parents to share their aspirations and thoughts about how we can continue to improve our support of tangata whenua and pacific peoples. 

This year we are combining the two meetings into one.


On the night

Kapa Haka performing

Bring a plate for a shared dinner

Share your thoughts and ideas about how we can best support and promote Te Reo, Tikanga and our Pacific learners.

Children are welcome to be a part of this evening, so bring them along.


Calling helpers for sewing of Kapa Haka skirts

We need help from parents to sew some simple A-Line skirts for our kapa haka uniform.

If you would be able to help us out with these please email Linda 



Progressive Achievement Assessment Data

Every year our Years 3-6 students sit the Progressive Achievement Tests (PATs) in Mathematics and Listening Comprehension. These assessments are norm-referenced assessments that show how students are achieving compared to others of the same age group at a given point and provide results in stanines. 


Stanine 9 is the highest and stanine 1 the lowest. The average range for students is from stanine 4 - 6. Over the next few weeks the Year 3-6 teams will be posting this data in Hero for you to see how your child performed in these tests.


Below is a diagram showing how stanines are distributed and below that is our overall data for Bayfield Maths and Listening Comprehension. 



Bayfield results:  The results below compare what percentage of Bayfield students are at each stanine - the percentage in brackets represents the national % for all children. As you will see our children are out performing the national average, especially in the higher stanine areas. 

Bayfield results



The tests are multi-choiced timed tests which run between 25 and 45 minutes depending on the year level of the student. All tests were conducted on a device in 2021.


It is important to remember that these results are based on students’ performance on one day. In order to make informed decisions about students' learning needs, these results need to be supplemented with information from past assessments, ongoing teacher observations and the day to day classroom work of individual students.

In some spaces, children have allocated work areas, much like an allocated desk that y...
