The Wairakei Way
Wairakei Primary School’s Power 4 Learning team, made of teachers’, support staff and board members, have introduced a POWER song, titled ‘The Wairakei Way’ to the school. This POWER song was written in collaboration with Matua Lawerance, Whaea Margo and adapted by Melissa Issaccson.
Wairakei Primary School’s POWER values are important to all teachers’, students’ and the wider community, and ‘The Wairakei Way’ reminds everyone of these values. POWER has been the school values since 2009, Pride, Opportunity, Whanau, Excellent and Respect and the team have added POWER for Self, Others and Environment.
The Wairakei Way was developed to kick start POWER 4 Learning at the start of 2020, and to spark enthusiasm throughout the school. It reminds all of the school to keep trying hard, aspire to be the best learners they can be, and focus on being a POWER citizen now and in the future.
Wairakei Primary School is excited to share the POWER song with the whole community. Song audio available here and practise the song, then come along and join us singing ‘The Wairakei Way’ in our assemblies.

The whole school views this video at every assembly and sings along with pride. It is great to see the looks of concentration and smiling faces of all our tamariki.

In anticipation of a visit from author and illustrator Donovan Bixley, Aratiatia students have been doing some writing and drawing of their own. To create comic strips, we have been learning about:
speech bubbles to create dialogue
alliteration for the title eg Haylee Heart
onomatopoeia to create action and sounds
Room 9 started the year with a cracker of a start. We decided that not only did we want to create our class treaty visually, we also wanted to show our agreement in a more interactive way.
