Weka Team

Welcome to the Weka Team!

Our Year 6 students are enthusiastic, capable, and highly engaged learners who continue to impress us with their curiosity, resilience, and positive attitudes towards learning. In Weka Team, we strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment where students feel confident to challenge themselves, take risks, and grow both academically and personally.

We place a strong emphasis on fostering independence, leadership, and responsibility as students prepare for their final year at Ōrewa Beach School and their transition to intermediate school. Weka students are encouraged to think critically, ask questions, collaborate with others, and take ownership of their learning. Through engaging and meaningful learning experiences, we aim to nurture creativity, inquiry, and a lifelong love of learning.

Our students actively contribute to the wider school community through a variety of leadership and service opportunities, including student leadership roles, council representatives, librarians, kaimahi, and wet lunch monitors. Many students are also involved in extracurricular activities such as sports teams, kapa haka, performing arts, gardening club, and interschool competitions, where they continue to build confidence, teamwork, and school spirit.

We value strong partnerships between home and school and believe students achieve their best when whānau and teachers work together. We are proud of the way our Weka students embody the values of Ōrewa Beach School and serve as positive role models within our learning community. We look forward to working alongside you and your tamariki for a successful and memorable Year 6.
