Notes from Papamoa School - Bruce Jepson 

Why have a vision - why does a school see, hear, feel a particular way? 

See - how student holds themselves

Hear - the vision of your school

Feel - the vision of your school 

Students and their potential - believing that our students can do anything if opportunities exist for them.
