Welcome to Excellere College. We are excited to be part of God’s purpose for Whangarei, and Northland.
Our College vision, Excellence in learning; Christianity in living, provides the benchmark for our purpose.
It clearly states the goal we have for our learning community.
Excellere College bases its learning journey around four major aspects. These four aspects provide a foundation for all our learning decisions and development:
• The Promise: Seeking the purpose God has for us all.
• Relationship: Our interactions based on the example of Christ.
• Guidance:
• Wisdom: The knowledge and gifts given to us by God.
We have an unrelenting focus on student learning, which sees us exploring 21st century learning initiatives, constantly improving our use of formative evidence to inform teaching practice, seeking to grow the positive partnership we already have with parents, and embedding student voice and agency into our learning culture. We are also currently developing our Student Graduate Profile which will help to strengthen purpose amongst students, parents and staff. This is being co-constructed through consultation with all those involved.
We exist in a wonderful semi-rural setting, surrounded by God’s creation and invite you consider Excellere College as your school of choice.
