INTRODUCTIONDESCRIPTION OF COCKLE BAY SCHOOLCockle Bay School is a U.7 contributing school situated in Howick in Auckland’s eastern suburbs and is classified as a decile 10. The school was built in 1956 and the school community has grown with the development of new housing estates within the school catchment area. With the present enrolment scheme, the roll is maintained between approximately 700 - 860.
The school site is relatively small (1.90 hectares) and consists of a modern 7 classroom block, 12 relocatable classrooms and 11 older permanent classrooms. There is a music room, information centre, 1 multi purpose room, 3 withdrawal teaching spaces, including ELL, a school hall, heated swimming pool and an upgraded administration block. A large covered area has proven to be a very valuable asset to the school.
Staffing at Cockle Bay School is stable and there is a core of experienced teachers who act as excellent mentors for new staff to our school. They are a dedicated and extremely hard working group who are constantly seeking continuous improvement and the fulfilment of our whakatauki.
The Board of Trustees and the Parent Teacher Network is a strong feature of our school and work in a collaborative manner to enhance and support teaching and learning.
The parents of our school have very high expectations and aspirations for their children and assist the achievement of these by actively supporting the school in all of its endeavours.
The students are a very special group, friendly, confident, competitive and strongly motivated to learn. We are approximately 53% NZ European/Pakeha, over 24% Asian, around 4% Maori and the remainder of our students identify with a wide range of ethnic groups.
The concept of quality is firmly embedded into the school culture and underpins all that is done at Cockle Bay. Likewise, the school has a genuine and firm commitment to both the Cockle Bay 4 Cs and the development of a Learner Profile for both students and staff. Cockle Bay School is acknowledged as being an innovative and exciting place to work and learn while providing an extremely nurturing environment for al-fortunate enough to be associated with it.
