21st century education

Students’ goals are at the centre of e-learning networks where students, their families and teachers develop a customised learning programme that reflects the students’ passions, interests and aptitudes. Students work in a range of ways: with their peers, with other adults and on their own, in learning and social modes that allow them to integrate knowledge and develop relationships that set them up as learners and future citizens. Students have a strong sense of their culture and sense of themselves as New Zealanders and champions for Aotearoa. Teachers, lecturers, tutors and researchers are part of dynamic learning networks where they are continually increasing their capacity for supporting students’ learning.
