DREAMS came into existence through consultation with community, local business, feeder schools, Kura, kindergarten, parents, staff, and most importantly students. The values were grown from the ideas of what a “good person” should look like.
In 2022, DREAM became DREAMS as we added Sustainability to that which we value.DREAMS has been realised through visual art, music and drama, community actions, and through the positive behaviours of our students.
DREAMS behaviours are rewarded with Opz Bucks, a reward system designed by students for students. These Opz Bucks can be cashed in for camps or reward items, ongoing recognition contributes to leadership pathways.
Realising these values within Ōpunakē High School as students is part of our core values to ensure we“grow good people for a rapidly changing world”.
