ConnectED

« Years 1-10

Integrated learning connects the contexts and learning areas of Te Marautanga o Aotearoa and The New Zealand Curriculum through Big Ideas. As ākonga make deep connections across related contexts and learning areas they draw on prior knowledge, skills and experience to develop new knowledge, skills and understanding of themselves as learners.

Matauranga Māori is the foundation for learning in ConnectED. Learning is organised under five contexts and ākonga are free to choose from a range of learning options within and across these five contexts. The best starting point for integrated learning is a discussion with Kaimanaaki.

ConnectED options are available to all full-time ākonga up to Year 10.
