The reason we engage with the Culturally Responsive and Relational Pedagogy Programme was quite simply to close the gap between Maori and non-Mari achievements and we know that what's good for Maori is good for all. I think it was really important to in order to initially make change to explore the concept of whanowangatanga. That idea around caring connectedness, that relationship fundamentally important to the students a'r ffaenau. Mae o'r rhaid i'w ddweud ymwneud eich gweithio i gweithio eich gweithio, wedi gwneud eich gweithio i gweithio ddiwedd i gweithio i gweithio ar y Canongatanga, y idea ymgyrch ymgyrch gan hynny, ac ydym ni'n bwysig o ddwygau a'r ysgolwyr, yn ymgau a'r ysgolwyr. Mae'r tîn yn ymwneud i gweithio'r byd ac mae'r eich gweithio i'r tîn yn y rhaid i'r ddweud i'r cyfnogaethau. One of the biggest things we know that works for boys is about that they understand that we care so they don't care how much you know until they know how much you care is often a phrase that is bandied about. When they know you care and when they know you're genuine and authentic then that two way I guess teaching and learning approach becomes a lot more fluid and a lot more obvious and clear. The boys can feel it if you're genuine and that's around the spirit of Aql I suppose. We learn from boys as much as they learn from us. Embracing Māori culture has been another significant shift that the school has made. In fact when I first came to the school there was a poufary to welcome me and so that was really special and continues to be special for me. We have a school haka which all of the boys learn. We have school waiata which all of the boys learn and that becomes certainly our way of being. That's how it's going to be for every boy at the school. A cool change to see was Aqarapu schools embrace of Kapaka and how she enjoys watching and enjoys being a part of our growth as a group as a kapa. Encouraging us to push further beyond our limits as a kapa, as a kapa haka. It feels empowering that they are embracing our culture with our values and our ideals as Māori and embracing our language and our culture as well as our waiata bringing that into our symbolies. It's quite joyous that they are doing this and that they are embracing us as people and our culture and our language. In recent years we've had a very active and progressive group of parents who have been part of kouta kakitirangi. They've renamed it and rebranded that group of Māori parents who are supporting the school and they have influenced quite a lot of the things that we do in the school. For instance, they questioned the way in which we selected our prefects with a view to having more of our Māori boys become prefects and so we have widened the criteria and the manner in which those boys are selected so they can now be nominated by our staff and other students. Whereas before it was very much a self-promotion exercise which we recognised was not culturally responsive to the needs of some of those boys who were much quieter leaders. Over the past three years from the beginning when it first started to now it's been a massive difference in communication. First of all because we were just starting now you know they were a bit of just us getting initiated but now it's just back and forth back and forth all the time. You know them inviting us to some of their professional developments as far now. Since then it's just been a really good opportunity for us to be part of a group that can have some influences and we have a member that's on the board. So they bring back some of the communication from the board to us and we can give our thoughts with our representative to be able to take back to the board so there's all this communication happening. Team Solutions have been with us every step of the way on this process and really guided us through what for some people was reasonably challenging. I'm really happy with the level of achievement that we've reached and I think now for us as a school we want to maintain that level, we track really well against schools nationally. A good example at level 2 in 2014 we're sitting around 50% for a pass rate for Māori boys. That's now up to 80% so in 2017 we've got 80% of our Māori boys succeeding at level 2 and that's just one outcome, that's an academic outcome. There's all the other measures, the more intangible things I suppose and certainly when we speak to the boys they feel good about being here. So our next big step is to see how we can embed this process so that it's sustainable at boys high in the future because everything that we're hearing both from staff and from students and from the parent community tells us that we're heading in the right direction.
