Learning at Home

WELCOME TO LEARNING AT HOME AT EAST WAIKIKI PRIMARY SCHOOL

On this page you will find news and information on supporting your child’s learning at home. We hope that you are all well and thank you for your cooperation. These times are challenging for families to manage. East Waikiki Primary School is proud to be ready for your children to continue ‘Learning at Home’ .

For parents of children and young people, research shows the most effective strategies for family-led learning at home, which may vary by age group, include:

Believing in children’s potential
Reading and sharing books together
Talking together
Supporting children to develop positive relationships, including responding appropriately to negative experiences they may encounter
Learning together, including engagement in everyday activities such as cooking and spending time learning as a family

Remember that holidays should be time off from school. Your child does to need to do school work during that time.
