C2 Inviting the whanau and wider community into school to be involved in the learning

I know that students love having their whanau involved in their learning and therefore I consciously invite parents and wider whanau into school to be involved.  This helps the students be connected to their whanau and promotes the values of shared experiences.

Below are some examples of how our whanau are involved in the learning at school.
