2001 where we all started... well life at Coley Street since Richard began. It was inspired by the trees on the bank. Some said that they would never grow; and here in 2009 the trees are a metaphor; a sign; to signal growth and change. Est. 1967, Decile 2, Full primary, 282 roll, 42% Maori 53% European Immediate changes - Stopped class interchange - teachers to accept responsibility for own classes in all areas; - School newsletter; - Curriculum Committees; - Intro new communication systems - daily notices, weekly courier; - Jackets; - New appraisal system: personal goals, self reflection; - Teacher only days - Behavior Management system. Property Development - too many to list!! 2003 first year of ICT cluster Pre 2003: kids switched off to learning. 2004: implementation of Oral Assessment Programme $8005, 000 + 200, 000 = property development. The Awakening: Rich, Mark M, and Jan were almost bursting about Inquiry! Whole staff visit to many schools. 2005: "Foxton Our Place, Our Space" children realised that they were able to reach adults and change things. The Foxton pool is an example: $100, 000 to $1.2 million. Looking for a way forward. Wow, it was cool looking at the history! It was very interesting and inspiring to see where we've come! Where to from here?
