We work alongside primary, intermediate and secondary schools to plan a range of programmes that bring students together to do interesting and challenging things. We also work alongside our three Principal Clusters to bring Professional Learning and Development for teachers directly to the Wairarapa/Tararua region.
Our work in schools includes:
– Providing support to all 43 schools in our region
– Increasing the diversity of opportunity for students, especially in rural schools
– Supporting successful transitions and pathways
– Supporting Combined School Events such as the Year 8 Moving On Conference and the Wairarapa Schools Kapa Haka Festival
– Providing quality professional development programmes for teachers, here in the Wairarapa
– Supporting individual school programmes, where schools can apply for further support
EVALUATION / FEEDBACK
The evaluation is an essential part of our work; not only does it assist us with future planning, it provides valuable feedback to ensure our programmes are relevant and meeting needs of staff and students. We are also required to provide feedback to our funders, the Ministry of Education to ensure that we are meeting our outcomes too.
We believe the best way for students to share the learning they have done at REAP programmed events with their school is for their teachers to talk to them about it, using the learning objectives as a guide to questioning.
At times we will email you, the Principal or teacher to provide feedback on an event that you take part in, for example, Wairarapa Schools Kapa Haka Festival, or a student programme.
For careers events we will ask the students attending to complete an evaluation form at the end of the day.
This feedback will be collated and emailed to your careers teachers to be used when having career conversations.
For teacher professional development we will either provide an evaluation at the start of the day with learning goals for the day or email an online evaluation to you after the day.
Contact Trudy, Schools Liaison for further information on any of our 2026 Schools Programmes.
