The vision of Leeston Consolidated School is to support children to become ‘Leeston Legends’ – leaders, engaged in their learning, gathering information from a variety of sources, excelling in their field, able to negotiate, being determined and celebrating their success. In addition, we aim to encourage all students to demonstrate the values of care by promoting our three “Pillars of Care” - caring for the environment, caring for each other and caring for ourselves.
Our vision for Māori enjoying and achieving education success as Māori is for our tamariki to be comfortable with who they are and where they are at, and know about Tikanga Māori because of the everyday experiences and learnings that they participate in at Leeston School. By the time they leave us we want them to be proud of their heritage for then they become confident as Māori and want to be involved in activities that represent Māori culture.
