Student Support
Welcome to the Student Support website.
This website acts as a central collection point for all Student Support related material. The navigation menu on the right and the alphabetical index below link to information, ideas, and materials to help boards of trustees support their students in remaining engaged and on a pathway to success in the future.
There is strong evidence that more time spent at school and completing school with qualifications enables greater success in later life. As people follow a multitude of pathways on leaving school, it is critical to provide sufficient diversity in the options available to school students to attract and retain their interest. An increased engagement in schooling results in reduced truancy, fewer suspensions, and fewer exemptions for those requesting to leave school early. The information accessible through these pages is intended to provide resources that enable principals, senior staff, and boards of trustees to support their students with these outcomes in mind.
We welcome your feedback and ideas - please send them directly to student.support@minedu.govt.nz
