Reflecting on School Goal 1

Goal 1 Maori Achievement

To raise Maori student achievement and cultural visibility.                                                                          

That 85% of Maori students will achieve NCEA Level 2.

The NCEA Level 2 class have 5 Maori students which i normally allow to work at the same workbench in order to support each other with instructions and the completion of set tasks. The pictures below shows the marking out and cutting of the Mortise and Tenon Joint for their door frame which is included in the making of their practical project. This seems to work well as they are more confident in themselves to complete the set tasks.
