Philosophy

Our vision for Paddingtons is to provide children with a strong foundation on which they can each build skills which will equip them for all aspects of life.

We are committed to provide a welcoming and caring atmosphere which is positive and supportive and recognises, acknowledges, respects and nurtures the individual child.

The fundamental principle by which we operate is that of choice and accountability, so that children discover that for every action there is a consequence.

We aim to cater for the needs of the whole child, their physical, social, emotional, intellectual, spiritual (wairua) and cultural development.
