e Akau ki Papamoa Primary School transformed from a failing school to a nationally recognised model school for integrating technology into teaching and learning. They created a learning environment based on Māori values, supported by a one-to-one iPad program. There has been an acceleration literacy and numeracy of up to two times faster than expected year-level progress and 90 percent of students are now reading at or above the expected standard. Te Akau ki Papamoa engages every learner with no exceptions - 'He wake eke noa'.
