At New River Primary, we will empower our student to become confident, connected life long learners in an environment which promotes manaakitānga. 

New River Students will become:

- Literate and Numerate.

- Critical thinkers, curious about the world they live in.

- Independent seekers of knowledge, actively involved in their ongoing learning.

- Connected to the modern world locally, nationally and globally.

- Responsible, creative, reflective members of society, functioning effectively in a range of contexts.

- Able to assert their own rights and needs appropriately while valuing the rights and needs of others.

​- In a range of contexts become an active participant in the school and wider community.
