It was a kura where i had tingles up my spine, quivers through my neck and the feeling of ‘magic’ happening in all corners of the kura.

This kura has a 1:1 iPad program which enables students to have greater independence in their learning. From this kura some of the key learnings for me through a māori lense were;</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">Today was an experience that i will cherish forever, Warringa park school has shown me that regardless of what challenges the mokopuna may face there is always a solution to suit their needs.

Emotions ran high as we found our connections and joined in with their learning. Warringa was overwhelming, the resources they had were sensory based, incredibly effective and would suit our Kura in a heartbeat. Technology is allowing these students to achieve at levels that were never thought possible and again the vision and leadership of the tumuaki was felt throughout the whole school. </span></div>
