Key Competencies
The New Zealand Curriculum identifies five key competencies:

thinking using language, symbols, and texts managing self relating to others participating and contributing

People use these competencies to live, learn, work, and contribute as active members of their communities. More complex than skills, the competencies draw also on knowledge, attitudes, and values in ways that lead to action. They are not separate or stand-alone. They are the key to learning in every learning area. One of the ways we have chosen to acknowledge our students development in the key competencies is through our assembly certificates. For each assembly each studio has a certificate for the five key competencies to present to their students. These certificates are presented for a range of reasons across academic, social, sporting and cultural fields.
