Our School's Enrichment and Extension Programmes |
At Victoria Avenue School all class programmes are differentiated to ensure that teaching and learning experiences are tailored to meet the needs of individuals. This is facilitated in a number of ways such as:
- class enrichment programmes for all students such as thinking skills and inquiry learning
- ability grouping of students in core curriculum areas eg: cross grouping in numeracy in Years 3-6
Selection of students is based on a range of criteria. Teachers consider students who show exceptional achievement in standardised tests and a range of class tasks, as well as students who demonstrate creativity, and task commitment.
Each term a range of enrichment and extension programmes are offered to students to meet the needs that have been identified. These include:
- Weekly literacy groups (Years 2-6)
- Numeracy extension groups (Years 2-6)
- Otago Maths Problem Solving Challenge (Year 6)
- Inquiry Based Learning extension groups (Years 2-6)
- Visual Art Extension groups (Years 2-6)
A number of additional opportunities are also available to meet the varied sporting and cultural interests and talents of the students at our school. These include:
- Choir
- APPA Speech/Lions Speech Competitions
- Orchestra
- Zone and Interschool sporting events
- Kapa Haka
