Academic Programmes

Cashmere Avenue School complies with the New Zealand Curriculum Framework in all aspects. This includes keeping abreast of the many changes that occur in the various subjects. Keeping up to date often involves specific teacher training and demands a great deal of commitment and application by teaching staff.

Programmes
The overall objective and scope of each class programme is planned at the beginning of each year by the class teacher and confirmed with the Principal.

Considerable emphasis is placed on attaining a balanced programme of personal development, academic achievement, creative expression, sport and practical life skills.

Programmes of special encouragement for students requiring extra attention are conducted. Likewise, opportunities for children who can cope with greater challenge or stimulus in a particular subject are also provided.
