Welcome to the world of learning and growing at Douglas Park School. 

Picture

There is something for everyone in our culture of learning, sport, leadership, Enviroschool, art, song, dance and digital experiences.  Everyday life is underpinned by the motivational values of PRIDE (Peace, Respect, Independence, Dare to Dream and Excellence).
​


Tūrangawaewae - I understand where I stand.
At Douglas Park learning starts where we stand. We understand where we have come from, our place, our culture and how we are as a learning community

Kaitiakitanga - I care for people and my place.
The DPS learning community is inclusive, has members that care for themselves, for others and takes action for our community & environment

Pūawaitanga - I flourish ever forward. 
Douglas Park’s culture is one of innovation and growth, where all members of the learning community are pushed/developed to reach their potential / have opportunities to fulfil their potential


We’ve been working this year on re-visioning the school, re-setting our direction and thinking about what is most important to us as a learning community. We’ve heard from the staff, the voice of the children and from our parent community. 
​We’ve come up with a trinity of words that capture what we want as a learning community going forward;
Nurture, Explore, Create. These words are rich, cover important parts of our school (like relationships, like play & making) and describe the type of learning we desire as well as the type of young people we look to develop.
Currently the vision statement that captures this is:
Together we Nurture, Explore, and Create a better future


Gareth Sinton (Principal)
