Jean Batten School


CIH has been happy to work with Jean Batten School over a number of years because of the strong school spirit, commitment to learning, sense of fun and great management skills.

Teachers for the school have shared the training duties and all staff have attended launches and graduations.
We have had 4 intakes between 2006 and 2010, graduating a total of 55 jubilant families.

School CIH Champion is ICT and Te Reo Maori teacher Houwawe Paapu and we have worked with 2 great principals who have hosted the programme, Gary Moss and Jeff Bruce. A hospitable school is the essence of our work, so that parents feel welcome and valued. 

JBS graduation celebrations include entertainment and VIP guests, food to share and many, many cups of tea.
Jean Batten most recently graduated 9 families Dec 2010 and we await photos to share with you.

We are grateful to Jean Batten School for generously hosting our monthly Steering Group meetings.
