Kaitaia Abundant Life Student Character Tendencies

Our mission is to be a Christian School that partners with families to produce young people of academic and personal excellence in a safe environment.

We define the term “Christian school” by the following: 

We believe in God as the creator of the Universe, the bible as His inspired word and acceptance of, and a continuing relationship with, His son Jesus as required for eternal salvation.

 

Enrolment at Kaitaia Abundant Life School is based on the school’s Christian special character which is the key underwriting factor in the school’s integration agreement. According to that agreement: “the school is established for parents choosing a God-centred’ biblical world-view, Christian education for their children”.

 

The following considerations are important in any enrolment application:

• Applicants’ connection to the school’s Christian special character as outlined in the integration agreement.
• It is the intention of the school to partner with families as outlined in the school’s mission statement and hence siblings of children already in the school will have priority.
  
• Since the school has limitations on its total roll and it is the desire of the Board of Trustees to maintain smaller class sizes (for better education) classroom size constraints may affect entry.
• Parents must be in total agreement with the school’s mission statement.
• In some cases students may be entered into the school based on their own connection with the special character, but only provided the parents are in agreement at time of interview.
• The school does not discriminate on the basis of any of the following: age, culture, gender or disability. Occasionally the ability of the school to meet all the needs of a particular student may be questioned (especially in the case of disability) and in this case the child may be denied entry but only in their best educational interests.

 

It should be noted that not having a lifestyle reflecting the connection to the special character, especially where the scriptural principles espoused by the school are at odds with the lifestyle of the applicants, will be reason to deny entry.
