Paparoa Street School
The poari matua of Paparoa Street School complies with the principle of being a good employer, which includes providing opportunities for enhancing the abilities of individual kaimahi (Education and Training Act 2020, s 597(2)(e)). The kura supports kaimahi to engage in professional development that enhances the quality of teaching, learning, and support services, and aligns with the strategic direction of our kura.
Professional development at Paparoa Street School aims to:
Kaimahi submit applications for professional development to the tumuaki or their delegate, and may also be required to submit funding applications to the poari matua. Professional development for the tumuaki is approved in consultation with the poari matua.
Ākonga and kaimahi needs and operational requirements are taken into account when considering applications for professional development. This includes:
The poari matua will only reimburse course fees and associated books upon successful completion of the course. The poari matua may also require the recipient to submit a short report about how the PD has benefited the kaimahi and Paparoa Street School.
