Religious Education

The Religious Education programme is timetabled daily, and it is important that parents/caregivers support this learning programme. Each child has an R.E book relevant to their year group that they work on throughout the year. At the end of each strand it is important that a comment is made in the ‘Parent Comment’ section.

All St Michael’s students receive an hour of daily instruction in Reading, Writing and Mathematics.

The school utilises structured literacy and numeracy approaches to support the delivery of the New Zealand Curriculum. Religious Education is taught four times per week, with children attending a Meditation session with Father Tony Dunn each Monday morning. Specialist Classes will be introduced in 2026 with specialist teaching for Music, Science and PE. Enrichment and Garden to Plate programme is offered once a week for limited selected groups.

 

E-Learning

Our Year 5-6 classes are blended e-learning environments, where students use a combination of pen and paper and devices. Students are encouraged to bring their own device to school to support this, however we do have limited school devices available where necessary.
