Welcome to Rise UP Academy School
Kia ora, Malo e Lelei, Talofa Lava, Fakaalofa Lahi Atu, Kia Orana, Ni Sa Bula Vinaka
Our school was founded in 2014 by the Rise UP Trust, a South Auckland not for profit
organisation. The Rise UP Academy transitioned to a Designated Character School in 2019.
Our special character consists of:
- A Hearts and Minds based Inquiry Learning model, which reflects Maori and Pasifika values.
- Culturally responsive Whanau mentoring programmes.
When you enrol your child, we enrol your whanau.
ATTENDANCE
As a school we understand the importance of being at school everyday. Our students feel more connected, develop social skills, improve in all learning areas and become accustomed to their routine.
The nationwide target for attendance is for 80% of students to attend regularly (this means attending more than 90% of the time). The Ministry of Education attendance guidelines are separated into 4 groups (see image).
We need your help to make sure our students are attending school everyday and coming to school on time! Reminder that classes and learning starts at 8.45am.
