In this issue#

We focus on the vital role of literacy and language in shaping confident, capable communicators.

Across the motu, schools, kura and communities are finding innovative ways to make sure every ākonga | student has the skills, support, and opportunities to find their voice, through reading, writing, speaking or digital engagement.

You’ll read about:

• structured approaches to literacy lifting student outcomes
• kaupapa Māori and Pacific education initiatives revitalising language and culture
• the power of reading to support wellbeing and connection
• how media and information literacy are preparing learners to navigate an increasingly complex world
• how leaders, teachers, librarians, and speech-language therapists are working together to lay strong foundations from the earliest years.

Each story reflects a shared commitment to empower our young people not only as learners but as communicators.

This is our final edition of Term 1. Wishing all school and kura kaimahi | teachers and staff a safe and relaxing break.
