Dalefield School Making a diffence for our students

Ten percent of the school grounds will be given over to native ecosystems and new playground equipment designed by the students will be fundraised and installed.

Offering learning experiences that cater for all students, Dalefield School is an integral part of the wider Carterton community. Firmly based in the outdoors in its spectacular setting, the school prides itself on allowing all students to thrive and meet success in all its forms.

With her team of experienced teachers she can offer classes for all ages in ballet, tap, contemporary, hip hop and jazz and also holds a specialised pre-school class for 3-to 4-year-olds.

Exams are held mid-way through the year where students are assessed against the NZAMD standards. While these are not mandatory, the pupils who choose to do these exams learn about the discipline, dedication and motivation from achieving high standards.

Jacqui Murray feels the dance exams provide

a positive learning experience and gives the students a great sense of accomplishment. The dance school is well known for its annual Cabaret performance held at the Carterton Events Centre in November and it’s

proving a popular way to celebrate the dance year.

Term 1 enrolments are now being taken.

We offer a peaceful and orderly environment which flows freely between indoors and outdoors. Our Montessori centre is a thriving community of learners where everyone is treated with respect and dignity. A rich Montessori programme fosters a love of learning, independence and creativity; all of which enable the child to reach their full potential.

Our garden provides opportunities to care for the natural environment.

Children grow vegetables which they then lovingly prepare to share with their friends. Our fruit and nut trees have matured and become a living playground for the children, who are encouraged to create their own play structures.

We have a passionate and highly qualified team of

responsive Montessori teachers working with the children, enabling them to develop at their own pace using the unique Montessori learning materials. These are designed to engage the children and connect them to sounds, shapes, colours and textures in their environment.

2023FIRST STEPS& FUTURE PROSPECTS Welcoming back our ‘internationals’ When New Zealand fully opened its borders on 1 August 2022, after two years of attempting to dodge the ravages of Covid, it opened the door for the much-valued international students to consider studying in this country again.

New Zealand’s international education sector is a major part of the economy.

The $5billion it pumped into the country annually supported around 45,000 jobs and made it New Zealand’s fifth-largest

export earner. Huge efforts by educational institutions are being made to re-attract these students.

To study full-time in New Zealand for longer than three months, a Student Visa is required, and it

Students may work up to 20 hours per week during study terms and full-time during holidays adding a valuable quotient to the workforce.

Post Covid New Zealand attracted around 120,000 international students per annum. Prolonged border closures saw the numbers drop to only 15,000.

But there’s hope on the horizon. Prior to Christmas, Immigration

NZ was reporting 12,258 international students had applied to study here and early in 2023, numbers are steadily coming in. International students are critical for a country’s economy providing a healthy social and cultural impact.
